Nearly 12 million people are living with Parkinson's disease worldwide, and it's the fastest-growing neurological disorder on the planet. By 2050, that number is expected to more than double to 25 million cases. Researchers are still racing to understand what actually triggers the disease long before a diagnosis ever happens. Shaina Cahill thinks the answer might start somewhere nobody's looking, and that's the gut. Years before a Parkinson's diagnosis, most patients already show the same GI issues, and she believes that's not a coincidence but an early warning sign we've been ignoring. Find out all that and much more in this episode.
