Drawing on decades of research, Dr. Dorsey explains how Parkinson’s is increasingly understood as a largely preventable disease driven by environmental exposures, including pesticides, industrial chemicals, air pollution, and contaminated water. The conversation explores how the disease may begin outside the brain and what individuals, communities, and policymakers can do to reduce risk. Dr. Dorsey also shares practical steps from his new book The Parkinson’s Plan, offering actionable strategies to protect brain health across the lifespan.
