Could our gut health be a key player in developing Parkinson’s disease? Research has identified a connection, but what are the take-home’s?

Research is increasingly pointing to impaired methylation as a modifying factor in Parkinson’s — meaning it doesn’t cause the disease directly, but it may influence how it progresses or how severe symptoms become.

In this short review, we highlight the importance of thinking deeper when it comes to causes of the disease.

We take a huge interest in investigating emerging lifestyle research, and integrate that with what we know about how the body works.
