🎙️ We’re back with the 38th episode of Parkinson Weekly, hosted by Prof. Bas Bloem — and the third instalment of the Parkinson Weekly Helpdesk, answering questions submitted by listeners from around the world.
This week, Bas explores the important relationship between Parkinson’s and the gut, including constipation, SIBO and how gut health can affect levodopa absorption and weight loss. He also discusses emerging research into intermittent hypoxia and its potential effects on Parkinson’s symptoms, before looking at whether Parkinson’s may be increasing among younger people and why more research into young-onset Parkinson’s disease is needed.
