Shifting the Paradigm: A New Era for Parkinson's Care
Description
This episode features a powerful discussion with Dr. Padma Mahant, Director of Medical Affairs, CND Life Sciences, and Dr. Indu Subramanian, a Neurologist with UCLA, who are leading the charge to correct the biases in Parkinson's disease care. They expose a critical gap where women's unique, non-motor symptoms are often overlooked, resulting in twice as many women waiting five or more years for a proper diagnosis compared to men. The conversation highlights the imperative to move beyond the "cookie-cutter" approach by leveraging new, objective diagnostic tools to aid early detection, prioritizing women's inclusion in clinical research, and adopting a compassionate, integrative model that places the patient at the center of their own wellness journey.
