Neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter, known to most Defiant Health listeners as The NY Times bestseller author of Grain Brain, as well as Brain Maker and Brain Wash, makes some surprising and enlightening observations about a blood marker called uric acid. Up until recently, uric acid was thought to be the factor that caused gout and kidney stones. But Dr. Perlmutter reports on emerging science that shows that tracking uric acid is almost as crucial to health as tracking blood sugar and that uric acid underlies many common chronic diseases. Understand what your uric acid level means, then take natural action to bring it under control to gain advantages in health and risk for many health conditions. Dr. Perlmutter's newest book is Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid--The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health to be released Feb 15, 2022 and available through all major bookstores including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Indie Books.
