Insulin resistance DOES raise uric acid levels and can cause gout. Fructose causes many problems but, is a main contributor in gout Fructose also increases the production of purines and increases the production of lactic acid, which inhibits the excretion of uric acid by the kidney.
Some of my thoughts around how to jump start recovery and reduce flare up:
❤️ Whole Foods
❤️Vitamin C - Lemon & Lime Juice
⛔ Avoid Sugar ❤️Control your protein
❤️ Fermented foods ❤️ get some exercise
❤️ Macros: Fat 70%, 20% protein and 10% Carbs
⛔ avoid alcohol
⛔Limit Fasting
❤️ Stay hydrated️ :drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces per day (not during meals)
Focus on building a long-term plan and figure out how to stick to it daily. The
closer you reach perfection with the list above, the faster the healing
