In this episode, I speak with Dr. Ken Sharlin about how Parkinson's disease develops and why conventional medicine often falls short. We explore the role of lifestyle, nutrition, environmental factors, and mitochondrial health in brain function. He shares how a functional medicine approach helps uncover root causes and empowers patients to take control of their health journey.
