According to today\u2019s guest, some of these same toxins\u2014many of which are still highly prevalent\u2014can directly increase your risk of developing Parkinson's disease and possibly other brain disorders. If you're interested in prevention and reducing your exposure to these toxins, this episode is for you.\nToday on The Dhru Purohit Show, we\u2019re revisiting one of our favorite episodes with neurologist Dr. Ray Dorsey, where we dive into the root causes of Parkinson's disease and how environmental toxins, such as trichloroethylene (TCE), dramatically increase our risk of developing it. Dr. Dorsey shares decades of research explaining why Parkinson\u2019s is on the rise, how toxins impact our mitochondria, and the role of misfolded proteins in the disease. He also offers practical steps to limit exposure, especially from an early age, and outlines lifestyle and dietary interventions to reduce the risk of developing Parkinson\u2019s.\nDr. Ray Dorsey is a neurologist and researcher known for his groundbreaking work in the field of Parkinson's disease. In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Dorsey has significantly contributed to Parkinson's disease research. His work on the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) and other research projects has advanced the field's knowledge and treatment options. Dr. Dorsey also co-authored the groundbreaking book Ending Parkinson's Disease: A Prescription for Action.\xa0\n\nIn this episode, Dhru and Dr. Dorsey dive into:\n\nThe three environmental toxins responsible for the rise in Parkinson\u2019s disease (2:06)\xa0\n\nWhat is trichloroethylene (TCE) and how toxins impact mitochondria (3:15)\xa0\n\nDr. Dorsey\u2019s journey in learning about the role of toxins in developing chronic disease (15:19)\xa0\xa0\n\nThe importance of both outdoor and indoor air quality for longevity (17:52)\xa0\xa0\n\nThe earliest cases of Parkinson\u2019s disease and the link between pesticides and Parkinson\u2019s (27:58)\xa0\n\nThe research around toxins and Parkinson\u2019s disease as a largely preventable disease (32:12)\n\nWhat individuals should be thinking about to prevent Parkinson\u2019s disease (41:07)\n\nThe role of misfolded proteins (46:20)\xa0\n\nHow exposure during early periods in life can impact the development of Parkinson\u2019s (53:58)\xa0\n\nA map of the areas contaminated by trichloroethylene (57:53)\xa0\n\nTesting and the importance of minimizing additional exposure (1:04:13)\xa0\n\nDry cleaning and exposure to toxins (1:13:54)\xa0\n\nThe role of exercise in prevention and for anyone diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s (1:24:14)\n\nResistance around the role that toxins play in the diagnosis of Parkinson\u2019s (1:27:28)\n\n\nAlso mentioned in this episode:\n\nDr. Dorsey\u2019s book \xa0Ending Parkinson\u2019s Disease\n\n\nThe Parkinson's Project\n\n\nFor more on Dr. Dorsey, follow him on Twitter and this website.\xa0\n\nThis episode is brought to you by Bioptimizers, Momentous, and Lumebox.\xa0\n\nUpgrade your digestion with enzymes!
