Make money doing the work you believe in

Carly Simon just revealed she has Parkinson's. The voice behind "You're So Vain," now in her 80s. She said Parkinson's makes it feel like the part of your brain that sends out life's invitations "misplaced the guest list.”

It hits you: this disease isn't just tremors. The depression, the apathy, the exhaustion can come first, before your hands ever shake.

What most people don't realize is that Parkinson's is exploding. It's the fastest-growing brain disease on Earth, and cases have more than doubled. Roughly 85% of people who get it have no genetic explanation. It's something we did.

Yesterday, I dropped a full interview with Dr. Ray Dorsey, one of the world's leading Parkinson's researchers on my youtube channel, and it will change how you see this disease.

Here's the part you'll want to send someone: Living within a mile of a golf course was linked to more than double your Parkinson's risk, and those pesticides end up in the water and air you breathe. And there's a weed killer called paraquat that the EPA's own site says one sip can kill you. It's banned in 70+ countries, including China, yet US use doubled from 2013 to 2018. It's sprayed on the corn and soybeans in your food.

If these diseases are man-made, we can un-make them. Filter your water. Clean your air. Exercise. Dorsey has patients who ran an Ironman after diagnosis. As Carly said, illness can change your life without becoming the whole of it.

Send this to someone caring for a parent or spouse with Parkinson's. They need to hear it today. Follow for more. πŸ’š
