The Bizarre Health Trend of Drinking Pee

from Decoding Health · host Dr. Urban A. Kiernan

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Decoding Health Podcast, Dr. Urban unpacks the myths and realities behind urine therapy—an unusual health claim that suggests drinking or applying urine can heal the body. While some tout it as a natural remedy, Dr. Urban breaks down the actual science: urine is a sterile waste product in healthy individuals, containing salts, proteins, and antimicrobial peptides like defensins that may help clean wounds but offer no evidence-based benefits when consumed or fermented. Listeners will gain clarity on why “urine therapy” is more hype than health, the real biological role of urine, and when (if ever) it might have practical use. Are you eager to explore more about health and wellness?
