Uric Acid: A KEY Cause of Weight Gain, Diabetes, Heart Disease & Dementia (Dr. David Perlmutter)
Levels
2,011,104 views May 6, 2022
Levels Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Casey Means, chatted with our advisor, Dr. David Perlmutter on the discovery of how the elevation of uric acid in the body is a causative mechanism in the development of metabolic diseases, and one of the key links between obesity, diabetes, heart disease, neurologic diseases like dementia, ADHD, fatty liver disease, and more.
They also covered:
- The several mechanisms of how uric acid causes cellular dysfunction and insulin resistance, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and even preventing insulin from getting out of the blood stream effectively.
- The evolutionary reasons why the metabolic dysfunction and weight gain caused by uric acid would have benefitted us historically in terms of low access to food and water, by letting us more easily pack on weight and raise blood pressure. And how we now live in an evolutionary-environmental mismatch where this survival mechanism is now hurting 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.
- The optimal levels for uric acid.
- How uric acid impairs our hunger signals, drives us to eat, and even promotes risk taking behavior. We talked about how to reverse high uric acid levels as a way to unlock optimal health.

Today we’re going to talk about uric acid and how you could detoxify uric acid from your kidneys and your body. If your urine is slightly too acidic, you may have a tendency to retain uric acid in the kidney. If you alkalize the urine a little bit, the uric acid then can come out to the kidneys, and you can urinate it out.
Uric acid functions:
1. Neuro Stimulant
2. Antioxidant
3. Immune Stimulant
What causes uric acid build-up?:
• Fructose
• Chocolate
• High Protein
• Fasting
• High Carb Diet
• Pre-diabetes
What to do if you are susceptible to kidney stones and gout:
1. Increase vegetables
2. Decrease protein
Symptomatic relief:
• Potassium citrates
• Sodium bicarbonate
