How Does Uric Acid Drive Metabolic Syndrome and Aging?
Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park explore how uric acid—a metabolic waste product most people only associate with gout—may be quietly driving high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and accelerated aging, even at levels considered "normal" on standard bloodwork. They break down the science behind why fructose is a bigger culprit than purine-rich foods, why kidney function matters, and which groups should pay closest attention to this overlooked number. The episode closes with straightforward, evidence-based strategies like hydration and reducing liquid sugar intake that listeners can implement immediately.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow 📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com Powered by VoxCrea.AI
