Expert Briefing: The Gut–Brain Connection: How Digestive Health Affects Parkinson’s
Wellness Wednesday: Expert Briefing Series
Scientists are learning that what happens in the gut may have an impact on the brain — including in Parkinson’s disease. In this session, we’ll explore how gut health and digestion are connected to Parkinson’s symptoms and overall well-being. You’ll hear about current research on the “gut–brain connection,” what it could mean for understanding Parkinson’s, and how caring for your gut may play a role in managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
The Foundation's Expert Briefing series is intended to offer firsthand access to the latest research and updates from experts in the field. Expert Briefing webinars will include more scientific terms and concepts.
