I mean...do we even need a description here? My sit down with the legendary news icon Katie Couric. We talked all about Parkinson's and a million other things that I can't even really remember because I am pretty sure I blacked out for most of this conversation. What I do know is that she is hysterical and generous and I am lucky to know her.

Join me and Dr. Ray Dorsey and Dr. Michael Okun as we chat about their New York Times bestselling book The Parkinson's Plan which lays out a path forward to ending this awful disease. It's not all science and confusion though - we laugh a lot and talk about ways people can save their brains.

In The Parkinson’s Plan, the docs show readers how to prevent the disease through the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the lifestyles we live. They introduce the “Parkinson’s 25,” the most detailed checklist ever created to allow anyone to lower their risk of Parkinson’s. They interview the world’s top scientists, clinicians, and thought leaders in the Parkinson’s field to offer a detailed plan for treatment that includes cutting-edge methods and recent technological and medical advances.

Join me as I chat with the amazing Ai-jen Poo who has been recognized among Fortune’s 50 World’s Greatest Leaders and Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World, and she has been the recipient of countless awards, including a 2014 MacArthur "Genius" Award. Ai-jen has been a featured speaker at TEDWomen, Aspen Ideas Festival, Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, Skoll World Forum, and the Obama Foundation Inaugural Summit.

A conversation with producer, actress, writer, director and nonprofit founder Lauren Miller Rogen who started Hilarity for Charity (HFC) with her husband Seth Rogen. Lauren lost her mom to early onset Alzheimer's and created HFC to bring light to the disease and to support caregivers.

Dr. Rachel Dolhun is a double-board-certified neurology and lifestyle medicine physician and fellowship-trained movement disorder specialist, who joined The Michael J. Fox Foundation in 2014 to lead medical communication. This conversation is about being a woman with Parkinson's and all that that entails.
