So it may be that brain disease doesn't actually begin the brain, but it might begin in the nose or in the gut.

And that these are two the major ports of entry for air pollution, certain pesticides, and chemicals like trichloride.

Did you know that there are three key toxicants, according to today's guest, that are a direct contributor to your likelihood of getting Parkinson's disease and possibly other brain disorders?

If you're curious about this topic, today's episode is for you. Welcome to the Drupurot podcast. Each week we explore the inner workings of the brain and the body with one of the brightest minds in wellness, medicine, and mindset.

This week's guest is Dr. Rae Dorsey, and he's here today to talk about the root causes of Parkinson's disease and how environmental toxins are radically increasing our likelihood of developing it.

Now a little bit more about Dr. Dorsey. Dr. Rae Dorsey is a neurologist and a researcher known for his groundbreaking work in the field of Parkinson's disease.

After completing his undergraduate study from Harvard University, Dr. Dorsey earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.

He then pursued further training in neurology, completing his residency at the University of Pennsylvania, followed by a fellowship in movement disorders at Columbia University.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Dorsey made significant contributions to Parkinson's disease research.

His work on the Parkinson's progression markers initiative and other research projects has advanced the field's knowledge and treatment options.

Dr. Dorsey is also the co-author of the book Ending Parkinson's Disease, a prescription for action, which is the focus of today's conversation.

The book delves deep into the current state of Parkinson's disease, highlighting the limitations of existing treatments and emphasizing the need for a more comprehensive patient-centered approach.

More over the book, and today's episode suggests practical strategies and actions that anyone can take to advance the research, increase awareness, and ultimately work towards ending Parkinson's disease today.

Dr. Rae Dorsey, welcome. What are these three talks and categories that are breaking our brains and how are they doing it?

A first of all, Drew should try to be with you, and thanks for working on helping out fix our brains.

So I think the three environmental toxins that are principally responsible for the rise in Parkinson's disease are certain pesticides that post-rechild for them being a pesticide called paracquot,

widely used as a weed killer. The second are commonly used dry cleaning chemicals, including this one called tri-chlorolethylene,

and the third is one familiar to seven Californians, and that's air pollution.

Before we break things down a little further in Parkinson's disease and the different ways that it can develop,

let's just give a quick little highlight on each of these three, outdoor air pollution, the pesticides, and the tri-chlorolethylene.

What are the main sources and exposure of each of those? And maybe we could work backwards with also some good and recent news that came out recently,

that the EPA is exploring about tri-chlorolethylene in particular.
