Episode #193 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Are home-made smoothies and protein drinks helpful or detrimental as meal replacement when trying to lose weight or reverse type two diabetes? If so, what kind would you recommend? (05:14) Is it acceptable for someone 4'10” to eat 0.6 grams of protein per kilogram instead of TFM's recommended 0.8-1.2 gram, since they are so petite? (08:32) How does iodine intake and storage work in the body from a scientific perspective? Since iodine is water soluble, what is known about how long the body can maintain adequate iodine levels between dietary intake? Are there any established research findings about the need for iodine during different eating patterns, such as an extended fast? (12:02)  Will consistently high uric acid levels from fasting adversely affect my health even if I don't have symptoms of hyperuricemia? (14:08)  I believe you addressed this at the time Dr. Peter Attia was a guest on Thomas DeLauer's YouTube channel, but I can't remember which one of our podcasts that was. Wasn't he cautioning about extended fasts and muscle loss for people who were already in great shape - “shredded” if you will? Don't you quickly regain any muscle lost once you start eating nutrient-dense food again? (15:21) Is there more autophagy happening during exercise or fasting? (21:17) What is the best fasting regime for someone with a low BMI but who has non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? How long should alternate-day fasting (just started two 42-48 hour fasts a week) combined with a whole-food, low-carb diet continue? (23:46) What are your thoughts on fasting while taking ADHD medication? (25:04) Do you have any recommendations for a diet that will starve or kill cancer? (26:23) How long does it take to reverse insulin resistance while doing fasting and low-carb and how do you know when you have?

Your body naturally creates uric acid as a by-product when it breaks down “cellular debris" (a normal part of your body's internal life cycle), and certain compounds in your food called purines. It does that with an enzyme called xanthine oxidase that converts purines into uric acid. Many common favorites – like burgers, beers, and candy – contain lots of purines. And the more your body works to digest the foods, the more uric acid it produces.If your body makes too much of it or your kidneys can't clear it out fast enough, uric acid can build up. When that happens, the excess uric acid can accumulate and form shockingly painful crystals that can settle in your joints – a condition called gout – or build up in your kidneys.When your uric acid levels are high, you may not realize it… but that doesn't mean it isn't causing problems. And when you can feel it, it will really hurt.Your big toe might throb with unbearable pain, so bad you can barely stand. Your joints may be red, stiff, swollen, and feel like they're on fire.And when uric acid reaches even higher levels, it can take a toll on your kidneys, even leading to excruciating kidney stones or chronic kidney problems.A whopping 21% of people have high uric acid without feeling any symptoms. But even if you're feeling no pain, those high uric acid levels can still have a significant negative impact on your body.Guest: Daniel Chapman, Founder and CEO of Redd Remedies®Growing up around his family's Sunrise Health Food store in Lansing, IL, Dan Chapman, Founder and CEO of Redd Remedies®, has lived in the world of natural products his entire life.

High uric acid can cause gout, but it's also a marker for worsened metabolic health and gut health and a contributor to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's. Consumption of purines can lead to high uric acid levels, but other ingredients in our food system are also culprits. Dr. David Perlmutter and Dr. Casey Means discuss the problems with high uric acid, the foods and drinks that can lead to higher levels, why uric acid can be a driver of worsened brain health, and concerns regarding leaky gut and the immune system.

Uric acid, a byproduct of purine metabolism, is usually expelled through the kidneys. When production exceeds excretion, it leads to hyperuricemia, causing gout, kidney stones, and inflammation linked to insulin resistance.Dr. Bikman explains that excessive uric acid activates inflammation pathways, producing ceramides that disrupt insulin signaling, leading to insulin resistance. He highlights the connection between fructose consumption and uric acid production, noting that unregulated fructose metabolism in the liver increases uric acid levels. This rise in fructose intake, rather than purine-rich foods, contributes to gout and metabolic issues.To address this, Dr. Bikman discusses pharmacological interventions like allopurinol, which lowers uric acid levels but may have side effects. He also mentions allulose, a rare sugar that shows promise in reducing uric acid by enhancing its excretion. Despite potentially increasing uric acid, the ketogenic diet is noted for reducing inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity due to ketones.Dr. Bikman concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding uric acid's role in metabolic health and encourages further research and practical dietary interventions to manage uric acid levels, integrating pharmacological, nutritional, and lifestyle approaches to improve overall metabolic health.Studies referenced in this episode:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24769205/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1933171115006063?via=ihub https://www.metabolismjournal.com/article/S0026-0495(65)80039-7/abstract Learn more at: https://www.insuliniq.com Hosted on Acast.

In this podcast, we're going to talk about a natural remedy for gout. Gout medications work by inhibiting the xanthine oxidase enzyme that converts purine into uric acid. If you want to get rid of gout naturally, you need to eliminate things like alcohol and fructose from your diet. However, many people do this and still have gout! Is there a natural inhibitor for the xanthine oxidase enzyme that can work as an effective home remedy for gout? The answer is yes! Sulforaphane is a plant chemical or polyphenol that may be the perfect home remedy for gout. The best sources of sulforaphane are broccoli sprouts and radish sprouts. You can also find it in a capsule. Sulforaphane is one of the most bioavailable polyphenols with around 80 percent bioavailability. This means that it's highly absorbable. Sulforaphane can activate genes and enzymes that help to eliminate poisons and carcinogens from the body. It can activate over 100 defense genes! Sulforaphane helps restore the nephron in the kidneys, which allows the body to filter out toxins. Our body makes uric acid, which is filtered out through the kidneys. If they cannot filter out uric acid, gout can sometimes be caused by an issue at the kidney level. Sulforaphane helps upregulate antioxidants, reducing free radical damage and inflammation. It also increases microbial diversity, allowing microbes to dismantle and remove excess uric acid from the body.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Robert Lustig, M.D., neuroendocrinologist, professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and a bestselling author on nutrition and metabolic health. We address the “calories in- calories out” (CICO) model of metabolism and weight regulation and how specific macronutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrates), fiber and sugar can modify the CICO equation. We cover how different types of sugars, specifically fructose, a sugar found in liquids, taste intensity, and other factors impact insulin levels, liver, kidney, and metabolic health. We also explore how fructose in non-fruit sources can be addictive (acting similarly to drugs of abuse) and how sugar alters brain circuits related to food cravings and satisfaction. We discuss the role of sugar in childhood and adult obesity, gut health and disease and mental health. We also discuss how the food industry uses refined sugars to create pseudo foods and what these do to the brain and body. This episode is replete with actionable information about sugar and metabolism, weight control, brain health and body composition. It ought to be of interest to anyone seeking to understand how specific food choices impact the immediate and long-term health of the brain and body.

Today we're going to talk about how to protect your kidneys. The kidneys can take a beating and can even regenerate. They are composed of roughly one million tiny filters, which filter your blood. But as you age, you start losing these filters—so it becomes even more important to start eating better and decrease exposure to toxins. The two worst things for your kidneys are sugar and oxalates. It's crucial to stop consuming sugar and high-carb foods and to start limiting your exposure to high-oxalate foods. However, consuming cheese or dairy with foods that are high in oxalates, but are otherwise healthy, can help counter kidney damage from oxalates. Foods high in oxalates: • Almonds • Spinach • Beet tops • Peanuts • Grains • Beans • Sweet potatoes • Cassava • Tapioca • Kiwi • Chocolate • Swiss chard • Turmeric • Cinnamon • Clove The best ways to protect your kidneys: 1. Consume lemon water every morning 2. Consume apple cider vinegar mixed in water 3. Consume 2.5 liters of water a day 4. Avoid high-oxalate foods or add dairy to high-oxalate foods 5. Get on the Healthy Keto® diet and do intermittent fasting 6. Avoid fructose 7. Avoid consuming high levels of vitamin C 8. Consume potassium (not for end-stage kidney disease) 9. Consume plant foods and microgreens DATA: https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18065... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...

People with high uric acid levels have an increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer's.  There's a relationship between these diseases and uric acid.  Uric acid directly leads to insulin resistance.  [19:30] Your Body Is Retaining Uric Acid As A Survival Mechanism   We tend to retain uric acid. Our uric acid levels can be higher as a survival mechanism, thanks to our primate ancestors. We don't hibernate for six months. Therefore, we don't need to be storing this fat for the winter that never comes.  88% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy. Getting Covid is associated with a 40 to 60% increased risk of type two diabetes. Individuals with higher uric acid levels have a higher risk of dying from Covid.  [25:10] Your Body Can't Handle More Than Five Grams of Fructose At A Time Your body can handle some fructose, about five grams at a time.  When your body is presented with high levels of fructose, it overwhelms what the body can do.  When fructose is delivered in the context of fiber, it slows the absorption. So, it's better to eat an apple than drink apple juice.  Vitamin C aids in uric acid excretion.  The most common way to overdo fructose consumption is by drinking fruit juice.  A 12-ounce glass of orange juice might have 30 grams of sugar. There's no way the body will be able to deal with that appropriately.  [35:30] Tart Cherries As A Remedy For Gout and Lowering Uric Acid Levels  Tart cherries have been researched for decades. Originally, tart cherries have been looked upon as a remedy for gout.  It has been noted that people who ate cherries would have fewer gout flare-ups.  Tart cherries are pretty darn effective in lowering uric acid levels.  [36:40] The Health Benefits of Drinking Coffee  Drinking coffee is associated with a dramatically lowered risk of Alzheimer's. Coffee is also associated with lower uric acid levels.  Plus, coffee reduces inflammation, upregulates antioxidant function, and improves detoxification in the body.  Also, coffee helps us grow new brain cells, no matter our age.  [41:45] The Relationship Between Animal-Based Protein and The Role of Uric Acid Fiber is so essential for human health. Most of Dr. Perlmutter's food is plant-based.  Regarding our uric acid story, certain meats or animal products are worse than others. Organ meats, sardines, anchovies, and scallops can raise your uric acid levels.  The most significant issues for uric acid are fructose, purines, and alcohol.  [48:20] Should I Follow A Ketogenic Lifestyle If I Have Gout Attacks?  The most significant player in gout is fructose.  When you research how to fix gout, there will be no talk about removing sugar or fructose from your diet.  The human requirement for sugar in our diets is zero grams per day.  We subsidize the growth of corn from which high fructose corn syrup comes from. We are supporting the diseases that are sucking up our healthcare resources. Diseases are significant money makers for the healthcare industry.  It's time we start thinking about prevention.  [52:25] What Role Does Mental-Emotional Stress Play With Uric Acid Levels? When we are experiencing stress, our ability to make rational, forward-thinking decisions is compromised. When your decision-making is compromised, you won't be making good lifestyle choices.  Therefore, under stress, you will eat more foods that have sugar.  Eventually, you will raise uric acid levels and feed the flame of poor metabolic health. It is time to make better decisions by lowering your stress levels.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. David Perlmutter's Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/ Follow Dr. Perlmutter  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DavidPerlmutterMd Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidperlmutter YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DavidPerlmutterMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/ Get Dr. Perlmutter's Books: https://www.drperlmutter.com/learn/books/ Grain Brain: https://www.amazon.com/Grain-Brain-Surprising-Sugar-Your-Killers/dp/0316485136/benazadi-20 Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid―The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health: Uric Acid testing device: https://amzn.to/3yjeP8Q https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Acid-Surprising-Controlling-Extraordinary/dp/0316315397/benazadi-20 Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

What do obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke and dementia have in common? They are all chronic diseases that together are the leading cause of death in the world today. And they're largely caused not by genes, but by our environment, lifestyle and food choices.This much many of us already know. But today's guest brings some valuable new information to the table: the role of uric acid. Dr David Perlmutter is a board-certified neurologist and six-time New York Times bestselling author. He is on the Board of Directors of the American College of Nutrition and an Associate Professor at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. His latest book, Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid, focuses on the pivotal role of uric acid in chronic metabolic diseases, claiming that lowering its level in the body holds the key to losing weight, controlling blood sugar, and transforming health.Many of us only think about uric acid in relation to a painful condition called gout. But, as David explains even slightly raised uric acid levels, can have damaging and widespread implications for our health. David and I discuss what he calls the ‘evolutionary environmental mismatch' - how modern lives are at odds with what serves our biology best. And one of the key elements that is driving this mismatch is the modern food environment.Many of us simply think about food as energy or calories but David and I discuss why we need to start thinking about food as information. Every bite that we eat is giving our body cues and signals. If we give our bodies the right cues they will thrive. If we give them the wrong cues they will start to malfunction.We also talk about the relationship between our fructose intake and uric acid levels, the evolutionary benefit for slightly higher uric acid levels, how increased uric acid can drive fat storage, high blood sugar levels, high blood pressure and insulin resistance. We also discuss what changes we can make with our food choices to reduce uric acid levels in our body.David explains how certain food choices can make us more impulsive, less compassionate and less empathetic and how the right food choices can help us make better decisions and increase our happiness. David is a gifted communicator and someone who is committed to helping as many people as possible, live healthier and happier lives.

The elevation of uric acid in the body is a causative mechanism in the development of metabolic diseases and contributes to weight gain and fat production. Uric acid is one of the key links between obesity, diabetes, heart disease, neurologic diseases like dementia, ADHD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and more. Dr. David Perlmutter talks with Dr. Casey Means about why we have excess uric acid, what foods cause uric acid production, and what simple steps we can take to lower our uric acid levels to be optimal. Look for multiple new shows per week on A Whole New Level, where we have in-depth conversations about metabolic health and how the Levels startup team builds a wellness movement from the ground up in the health and wellness tech industry. They also cover: How uric acid causes cellular dysfunction and insulin resistance, including oxidative stress, and inflammation, and even prevents insulin from getting out of the bloodstream effectively. Why uric acid would have benefitted us evolutionarily in terms of low access to food and water by letting us more easily pack on weight and raise blood pressure—but how that fights against us today because we now live in an evolutionary-environmental mismatch where this survival mechanism hurts us in the face of caloric abundance. The different dietary and environmental factors that generate uric acid, including fructose, purine-rich foods and umami foods, dehydration, alcohol, and more. How uric acid impairs our hunger signals, drives us to eat, and even promotes risk-taking behavior. How to reverse high uric acid levels as a way to unlock optimal health.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Brian interviews Dr. David Perlmutter about his new book, "Drop Acid," which focuses on uric acid and how it relates to metabolic health, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and other health issues. The two discuss the importance of understanding the role of uric acid in the body and how it can be managed through diet and lifestyle changes to support overall health. As a neurologist, Dr. Perlmutter became interested in uric acid's impact on the brain and explored this topic in his book.Elevated Uric Acid Can Cause DiseaseElevated uric acid levels in the body can cause several diseases and conditions. Uric acid is a naturally-occurring substance in the body, but when it is present at higher-than-normal levels, it can cause many health problems. Uric acid is most commonly associated with gout, a type of arthritis, but it can also be linked to other conditions such as metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes.Uric acid is produced when the body breaks down purines, which are found in certain foods such as organ meats, sardines, anchovies, and mushrooms. When the body cannot properly process and excrete the excess uric acid, it can build up in the bloodstream and cause problems.Limit Added Sugar ConsumptionIn today's modern world, limiting added sugar consumption is more important than ever. Fructose is a type of sugar found naturally in fruits and vegetables and is also added to many processed foods. Fructose is metabolized differently than other sugars and has been linked to higher uric acid levels in the body. Excess fructose intake has been linked to several metabolic issues, including hypertension, cognitive decline, and obesity.Lower Uric Acid For Better HealthUric acid is a by-product of fructose metabolism, and elevated uric acid levels can lead to serious health problems. High uric acid levels are associated with an increased risk of death from all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, and stroke. Additionally, it can increase the risk of erectile dysfunction and lead to the formation of uric acid crystals in the blood vessels and joints. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce uric acid levels and improve health. The first step is to identify and avoid hidden sources of fructose. This includes reading labels and being aware of the different names for added sugars, such as organic cane syrup. It is also important to limit alcohol consumption, especially beer, as it is rich in purines which can raise uric acid levels.

In Episode #215, I'm joined by Dr Richard Johnson to discuss obesity, fructose, and metabolic disease. “Fructose” has become something of a fear word in modern diet culture. It is often positioned as the villain, without the in-depth breakdown of where we are sourcing this fructose and the quantities it is consumed in. Similarly, the relationship between health and obesity is hotly contested. Dr Richard Johnson sits down with me today to clarify the scientific relationship between these factors, getting into what the evidence tells us. In this episode, we take a broader view at the history of obesity before honing in on the biology and mechanisms. We discuss the ideology of obesity, whether you can be healthy at any size, and the degree of risk related to where you store fat. We also cover a variety of animal studies, sources of fructose, and how the modern food environment shapes our body weight. Specifically, we discuss: Intro [0:00] History of Obesity [2:30] Body Fat & Health Span [10:36] Causes & Behavioral Patterns [23:55] Fructose vs Excess Calories [38:18] The Hazda [1:03:50] Fructose & Fruit [1:11:10] Fruitarians [1:22:25] Not All Carbs are the Same [1:32:30] Purines & Uric Acid [1:39:55] Carnivore Diet [1:42:22] Summarizing Obesity [1:53:56] Outro [2:02:46] To connect with Dr Richard Johnson, you can find him on Instagram and Twitter.

This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Vivobarefoot.Uric acid is a central player in metabolic mayhem. Despite its long association with gout and kidney stones, it's involved in so much more—especially our metabolic disease epidemic.There are three things that raise our levels of uric acid: purines, alcohol, and fructose. The latter is the biggest challenge, due to its overwhelming presence in our Standard American Diet. That doesn't mean all fruit is bad or even that all alcohol and purine-rich foods have the same effect. Like all parts of health and nutrition, there are nuances we need to consider to create optimal health.Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks about uric acid, the role it plays in turning on, or off, our body's fat-storage switch, and how getting it under control can significantly reduce our risk of chronic disease.In this episode, we dive into: -The link between uric acid and metabolic dysfunction-Why our metabolic switch is always turned on-Hidden sources of fructose in our diets-How uric acid levels can tell us a lot about our cardiometabolic health Also mentioned in this episode:-Try This: How To Turn Off Your Fat-Storage Switch-The Latest Science on How to Turn Your Body's Fat-Storage Switch Off with Dr. Richard Johnson-​​Nature Wants Us to Be Fat: The Surprising Science Behind Why We Gain Weight and How We Can Prevent—and Reverse—It-Try This: Smoothie Recipes That Won't Spike Your Blood Sugar-Calculate Your Fructose Intake -Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid―The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health-UASure Uric Acid Meter This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Vivobarefoot.Right now, ButcherBox is offering new members a great deal.
