Parkinson’s Triggers a Hidden Metabolic Shift

Think Parkinson's weight loss is just about nutrition? New research shows it’s actually a sign of an internal energy engine failure. By switching to a fat-burning "emergency engine," the body tries to compensate for a brain in crisis, making thinness a vital biological warning sign.
