Description
Parkinson's disease is a disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination.
It is caused by a loss of nerve cells in the brain, but what causes that loss is unclear.
Parkinson’s is fundamentally a condition that affects the brain but there is growing evidence that the gut may have a role to play.
The idea has ignited a wave of scientific exploration, delving deeper into the gut-brain axis and its potential implications for people with the disease.
The question is: if your gut plays a role in the development of Parkinson’s, could what you eat and drink play a role too?
Guest:
Professor K Ray Chaudhuri, Consultant Neurologist
