Eli Pollard: 2026 World Parkinson Congress - Phoenix, Arizona

I had an enlightening conversation with Eli Pollard, the Executive Director of the World Parkinson Coalition. We delved deep into the evolving landscape of Parkinson's disease, and I can't wait for you to hear it!

http://www.wpc2026.org

Here are some key takeaways and intriguing points from our chat:

Early Diagnosis is Crucial: Eli and I discussed the importance of catching Parkinson's early. Did you know that many people diagnosed are under 50 and might not show the classic tremor? Early detection can make a world of difference.
Non-Motor Symptoms Matter: Beyond the well-known motor symptoms, non-motor symptoms like pain, fatigue, and cognitive issues are critical. Eli shared how the understanding of these symptoms has grown over the years.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: We explored how different fields, like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety, are coming together to create innovative solutions for Parkinson's.
Genetic Insights: Recent studies suggest a higher percentage of people with Parkinson's might have genetic markers than previously thought. This opens new research avenues and potential treatments.
Environmental Factors: We touched on how environmental toxins, like certain herbicides, might trigger Parkinson's, especially in those without a genetic predisposition.

Skin Biopsy for Diagnosis: Eli shared exciting news about a skin biopsy that can accurately diagnose Parkinson's. This could revolutionize early detection!
World Parkinson Congress: Mark your calendars for May 2026 in Phoenix, Arizona! This event is a melting pot of scientists, clinicians, patients, and caregivers, all coming together to share knowledge and foster community.
Wellness Initiatives: The congress isn't just about science. There will be exercise classes, yoga, and even artistic expression opportunities through music, dance, and visual arts. It's a holistic approach to wellness!

This episode is packed with valuable insights into Parkinson's disease, the importance of early diagnosis, and the power of community and collaboration. Whether you're directly affected by Parkinson's or just curious, there's something here for everyone.
