About this listen

What do obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, neurological disorders and premature death have in common? All can be stoked by high uric acid levels.

Our most respected scientific literature is bursting with evidence that elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection. This is especially alarming because one-third of Americans don't know they are suffering from sky-high levels, putting them at risk for developing or exacerbating potentially life-threatening illnesses.

Offering an engaging blend of science and practical advice, Drop Acid exposes the deadly truth about uric acid and teaches invaluable strategies to manage its levels, including:

  • Simple dietary edits focused on reducing fructose and foods high in 'purines' that can raise uric acid.
  • Natural hacks that lower levels such as consuming tart cherries, vitamin C, quercetin and coffee.
  • Identifying common pharmaceuticals that threaten to increase uric acid.
  • Lifestyle interventions, like restorative sleep and exercise.
  • How to easily test your uric acid levels at home - a test routinely performed in your doctor's office during regular check-ups but typically ignored.

Featuring the ground-breaking 'LUV' (Lower Uric Values) diet, Drop Acid empowers listeners with the information they need to address this hidden danger and live longer, leaner and healthier lives.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I loved the intelligence of Dr Perlmutter & yet he explained everything gently, easing the reader into a new way of thinking towards a new life. loved his information. I'm sorry but I didn't like the person reading, found it a bit monotone & difficult to listen to, if it wasn't for the information in the book I would have given up. Great book & well worth reading.
