Preventing Parkinsons Disease

In this episode of When Life Gives You Parkinson’s, three of the authors of the book Ending Parkinson’s Disease explain how Parkinson’s is preventable. WLGYP’s host Larry Gifford interviewed Bas Bloem MD, PhD, Ray Dorsey MD, and Michael S. Okun MD for a Parkinson Canada webinar. Larry, his wife Rebecca and co-host Niki Reitmayer listen, learn and react to the author’s frank discussion of Parkinson’s disease, why they believe it is preventable, who is at risk, how COVID-19 maybe triggering the onset of PD, and why more and more experts believe it to be a global pandemic.  Thank you for listening.
