Environmental Toxins and Parkinson’s

  • Summary

  • In season 6 of On-Time: A Parkinson's Podcast, host Larry Gifford explores the environmental toxins linked to Parkinson's disease in a four-part series.

    In this opening episode, guest Dr. Ray Dorsey, Neurologist and Author of "Ending Parkinson’s Disease," explores how chemicals in our daily environment, from pesticides in food to industrial pollutants in the air, may be linked to the rise of Parkinson's disease. Despite mounting scientific evidence, we discuss why these chemicals remain in use, the implications for public health, and steps we can take to avoid these toxins.

He is a tireless advocate for putting many more resources into prevention — both in researching how environmental toxins like pesticides contribute to the development of Parkinson's and in reducing and ultimately eliminating the use of these harmful chemicals.
