Dr. Dorsey breaks down the roles of air pollution, pesticides, dry cleaning chemicals, contaminated drinking water, and repeated head trauma in increasing risk. He also discusses how Parkinson’s may begin in the nose or the gut years before symptoms appear, and why loss of smell, constipation, or acting out dreams can be important early clues.Drawing from his books Ending Parkinson’s Disease and The Parkinson’s Plan, Dr. Dorsey offers practical, science backed steps to lower your risk, clean up your environment, and protect your long term brain health.Book website:https://pdplan.org/Purchase page: https://www.amazon.com/Parkinsons-Plan-Path-Prevention-Treatment/dp/1541705386/Contact Dr. Mitchell:Email: care@mitchellmedicalgroup.comWebsiteInstagramYouTubeFacebookLinkedInBook: Conquering CandidaImmunoLytics - code SmartestDoc, 5% offApollo Neuro - code SMARTMD
