Episode Details

Parkinson’s is not a function of aging, it is not a genetic disease and it is a human caused disease that is entirely preventable. That’s what the research is showing and what Parkinson’s expert and advocate Dr Ray Dorsey is on a mission to communicate to the world. Parkinson’s disease is the downstream effect of the indiscriminate, criminal and unnecessary use of neurotoxic chemicals we are spraying on our food, spraying on our sport fields, using in our dry-cleaning and breathing in the air. 

Dr. Ray Dorsey is a neurologist, researcher, and internationally recognized leader in Parkinson’s disease care, prevention, and health-care innovation. He holds a BS from Stanford University and a joint MD/MBA from the University of Pennsylvania (Perelman School of Medicine and Wharton). Currently, Dr. Dorsey is a practicing neurologist at Atria and Director of Atria’s Center for the Brain & the Environment, a nonprofit research initiative focused on identifying and preventing environmental causes of neurodegenerative disease, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. He has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications, raised over $60 million in research funding, and was honored at the White House as a Champion of Change. A leading voice for prevention-focused medicine, he is the author of Ending Parkinson’s Disease and the forthcoming The Parkinson’s Plan, and remains committed to reimagining how brain health is protected across the lifespan.
