I eat sardines almost everyday in addition to red meat (carnivore) My uric acid went from 12 to 4.1 within a year. And I eat NO Fiber…. A1C at 5.1, fasting Insulin at 3. I’d like to see a more broad Panel…. All at once.

Please, please include time stamps for your interviews. It’s very valuable tool for referencing segments and for breaking up listening into more manageable fragments of time.

So much awesome information and wisdom, thank you! Your book DA🍒 is a game changer for sure👍

[lumanliu]

Someone like you Dhru should invite several experts and have a honest debate over the controversial topics. Those expert have so contradictory opinions. No grain vs whole grain. Vegan vs carnivore. ProKeto vs antiKeto. High protein vs low protein. I am only here to name a few important controversies. The point here is not to only let everyone pick their own, but deliver more clear pros and cons because every experts are biased and tends to avoid weaknesses of the style they support.

Whole fruit? In season? We are not humming birds.
So I stay away from fruit unless its grown in season in my country.
I dont eat dates sultanas bananas or tropical fruits.
Occasionally apples around Halloween.
That's it.

would like to know Dr. Perlmutter`s thoughts regarding Mitopure and Uric Acid/Gout.

[rogersigmon]

Keto/ Carnivore 2 years, 0 carb 0 sugar. Uric Acid always high 8.5 this morning down from 9.1 3 days ago. I take Dr. Formula "Drop Acid" no other meds, I have the book " Drop Acid" my life's metabolic health has greatly improved,
But I cannot get a Uric Acid reading under 7. Will Increasing Nitric oxide help lower Uric Acid ? Age is 70

[dianegordon]

I was eating beef and chicken liver for the iron benefit since my ferritin was low....My uric acid has been high. How much liver can I have to take care of my low ferritin and not affect my uric acid which I am hoping to lower. Already abstaining all the bad stuff you mention. Started allopurinol....will that be enough to lower my uric acid. Have not had a flare for 12 years when I had my first and only gout attack. But crystals were found in my toes when I had surgery.

The number of ad breaks make it impossible to actually assimilate the information in the interview, especially when the health infomercials contradict the health information in the interview. 😢😢😢
