Researchers are now more than ever convinced that Parkinson’s disease could start in the digestive tract years before symptoms could ever develop. In this episode, we explore the growing body of research connecting the gut, the brain, and Parkinson’s disease, including the role of the microbiome, inflammation, and the gut-brain axis. We discuss what scientists are discovering, what it could mean for earlier diagnosis, and why gut health has become one of the most talked-about areas of Parkinson’s research today.
