Listen Later

Parkinson's disease is rising faster than ever before — with 90,000 new U.S. cases every year. But what if it's not just bad luck, aging, or genetics? In this powerful conversation (watch HERE on YouTube), one of the world's leading neurologists, Dr. Michael Okun, reveals shocking truths from the new book The Parkinson's PLAN, co-authored with Dr. Ray Dorsey:

☠️ The hidden toxins in our air, water, and food that are driving the disease

🚫 Why Parkinson's is largely preventable — and how we've failed to act

🧠 How the disease may actually begin in the gut or nose

💣 What Camp Lejeune, pesticides, dry cleaners, and golf courses have in common

🌱 And what you can do today to protect yourself and your loved ones

Dr. Dorsey and Dr. Okun are on a mission to prevent Parkinson's — not just treat it. Their bold P.L.A.N. (Prevent, Learn, Amplify, Navigate) is a wake-up call to individuals, communities, and policymakers everywhere.
