The Parkinson's Plan is a new book by Drs. Michael Okun and Ray Dorsey. On January 27, 2026 Michael and Ray came to San Diego for a stop on their international book tour to talk about the causes, treatments, and living well with Parkinson's disease.

This 2-hour event was produced by the Parkinson's Association of San Diego and sponsored by Sharp Healthcare. We are presenting the unedited program on our podcast channel in four 30-minute parts.

"The Syn-One Test is a skin biopsy test that provides accurate pathological evidence to aid in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with clinical features suggestive of a synucleinopathy like Parkinson’s disease."

In this episode, Dr. Padma Mahant, the director of medical affairs at CND Life Sciences talks about the test, what can be learned from the results, and looks ahead with some thoughts about the future as it relates to Parkinson's disease.

Part of the changes afoot at the Parkinson's Association of San Diego is the joining of Community Liaison Steve Steinberg. This is a new position at PASD. Steve, a licensed clinical social worker, will be picking up the phone and responding to emails, handing all our referral and information conversations.

Steve has been leading the young onset support groups and will continue at that but, he is your point of contact when you need anything from PASD.

In this short podcast we learn a bit about Steve and his drive to help everyone impacted by Parkinson's lead a better life.
