so the question we’re going to answer

today is why dietary protein does not

cause gout many people think that it

does they do have this consideration

because purines turn into uric acid and

foods that are high in purines are organ

meats veal turkey venison sardines and

fish and red meat well let’s just first

talk about what uric acid is uric acid

is a byproduct of protein and when uric

acid gets too high in the blood it can

precipitate out and settle into certain

joints and create all sorts of

inflammation mainly in your big toe but

it can happen in your knees your hips

your shoulders anywhere in the body then

you have all this advice to cut out the

medes and become a vegetarian etc etc

but I want to explain a couple

interesting facts number one over 60% of

the uric acid in your body does not come

from the diet it comes from your own

body your body makes it

it’s called endogenous so that means

that only one-third of the uric acid

that’s in your body actually comes from

the actual diet now when people do

fasting for example or go on a ketogenic

diet they may have an initial spike of

uric acid in the transitional stage and

that occurs because of the fact that

uric acid is also a major antioxidant in

your body so apparently when your body

is fasting and on a low-carb diet your

body is needing these antioxidants which

are made internally to clean up or heal

certain things I mean think about it

it’s really the protein that’s causing

the uric acid why would you have a spike

of uric acid when you’re fasting and

you’re not eating anything and the next

point I want to bring up is this 90% of

people with gout heavy problem with

eliminating uric acid not the

overproduction of uric acid only 10% of

the people with gout produce too much

uric acid so the real problem with gout

is that you’re not able to eliminate the

uric acid so what does that mean it

means that the problem was within the

kidney itself so there’s some type of

kidney damage or some type of kidney

dysfunction where you’re holding on to

uric acid so the next question is what

types of conditions create kidney damage

now the top the list we have diabetes if

you’re diabetic you have a major risk of

getting gout why is that because when

you’re diabetic now I’m not talking

about type 1 I’m talking about type 2

which is the majority of diabetics you

have a higher level of insulin okay of

course it’s not working so you have

insulin resistance so that means you

have a situation where you have the

cells not absorbing insulin so the body

compensates by making more insulin so

you have all this insulin that’s

ineffective because you have insulin

resistance so we have high insulin but

it’s not working

you have high glucose okay because you

don’t have insulin in there to regulate

it even though you have an excess of

amount but it’s dysfunctional and that’s

what causes the kidney destruction

there’s actually four areas of your body

of that insulin and high sugar destroys

one is the nerves in the brain number

two is the eye and the heart the vessels

around the heart and the heart muscle

itself and the kidney so insulin

resistance is really behind the gout so

fructose for example will really cause

gout pretty quick

why because out of all the sugars

fructose has the biggest impact on

causing insulin resistance and fructose

directly can increase uric acid so high

amounts of insulin and/or high amounts

of glucose cause the kidney to retain

uric acid they also cause the kidney to

retain fluid so now this is making a

little bit more sense it’s not the

protein it’s the insulin resistance so

what can you do alright number one you

have to heal insulin resistance now when

you start a healthy key to a plan and

you do in a minute fasting you may find

that your uric acid does spike only on a

temporary basis but if you continue it

and you get through the adaptation

this that will go away but you want to

do health Aikido and in a minute fasting

to target this to improve this so you

can improve this and then eventually

this right here so as a side note in the

meantime what you could do to

temporarily reduce the gout symptoms is

to alkalize the body a little bit how

with potassium citrate okay you can get

it in an electrolyte powder or just take

potassium citrate that will increase the

ph a little bit of the urine and that

will inhibit the formation of uric acid

in the joints alright thanks for

watching so if you like this video go

ahead and share it with someone that you

know that can truly benefit from it
