"You've been told it's just aging. Or genetics. Or bad luck."
The latest 2026 research suggests a different story.
Beyond the diagnosis, you deserve an honest answer to two urgent questions:
● Why did this happen? (The critical role of environmental toxins)
● What can we do now? (Reducing chemical exposure to protect brain health).
Living with a diagnosis
- Understand why this may have happened
- Identify your specific chemical exposures
- Follow a safe, practical reduction roadmap
- Get lab-tested - know your actual levels
Supporting a loved one
- Home safety checklist included
- Complex science in plain language
- Protect your household today
- Give your loved one an action plan
2026 research update: environmental triggers
The cause of Parkinson’s is nuanced. The Braak Hypothesis, a leading 2026 research focus, suggests that toxins often enter through the nose and gut long before they reach the brain. This “gut-brain connection” is our most vital frontier for protection and intervention.
Key 2026 findings on environmental triggers:
Chlorpyrifos (Insecticide)
Linked to a 2.7x higher risk in recent observational studies
Paraquat (Herbicide)
Closely associated with neurodegeneration; now a primary focus of global safety reviews
Trichloroethylene (TCE)
Industrial solvent frequently found in contaminated groundwater; linked to significantly elevated risk
Heavy metals

Shakira Dragg, N.D.
Naturopathic Doctor · 10 Years Clinical Experience · Founder, The Parkinson’s Plan.
Hi, I’m Dr. Shakira Dragg.
For nearly a decade, I’ve dedicated my clinical practice to understanding the connection between environmental medicine and neurodegenerative health.
Through specialized laboratory testing, I began identifying elevated levels of environmental chemicals in some of my patients. These findings deepened my commitment to exploring the role environmental exposures may play in neurological health.
I founded The Parkinson’s Plan with one goal: to bridge the gap between a diagnosis and an action plan.
I believe that people living with Parkinson’s deserve more than information about their diagnosis. They deserve knowledge, practical guidance, and hope for the road ahead.
You deserve more than a diagnosis. You deserve the power to move forward.
Testimonials
“After my husband’s diagnosis, I felt completely lost. This book gave us a clear plan and actual hope for the first time.”
– Sarah M., caregiver, New Hampshire
“I’d never heard of TCE or Paraquat before reading this. Now I’ve had my levels tested and I’m taking real action. It changed everything.”
– Robert T., Parkinson’s patient

Frequently Asked Questions
Leading medical organizations now recognize strong associations between the disease and exposures like specific pesticides, solvents, and heavy metals.
Paraquat is a highly toxic herbicide. Following the 2025/2026 legal settlements and scientific reviews, it is now one of the most studied environmental links to the disease.
TCE is an industrial solvent used in degreasing and dry cleaning. It is a common contaminant in groundwater. Our book provides strategies for testing and filtering your home water supply to mitigate this risk.
It’s often both: genetics can influence susceptibility, and environmental factors may contribute to risk. Many cases are not explained by a single gene alone.
A practical first step is identifying and removing avoidable exposures in your immediate environment, your home, water, and food. The Parkinson’s Plan provides a roadmap for this process.
Safety is our first priority. Intensive protocols (like fasting or chelation) can interfere with medication timing. We advocate for a “Safety-First” approach focused on gentle, medically appropriate support and toxin reduction. Always consult your clinician before starting new supplements.
No. The Parkinson’s Plan is designed to support your understanding and help you make informed lifestyle decisions, but it does not replace professional medical care. Parkinson’s disease is complex and requires individualized diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring by qualified healthcare providers. Always consult your doctor or specialist before making changes to medications, therapies, or health routines.
