PCOS Diva Podcast

I am honored to interview Dr. David Perlmutter, MD, FACN, a board-certified neurologist, Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, and five-time New York Times bestselling author. He is recognized internationally as a leader in the field of nutritional influences in neurological disorders. His most recent book- Drop Acid – explores the fascinating correlation between high levels of uric acid & an increase, or even a possible cause, in PCOS symptoms. He explains that the elevation of uric acid is not just related to things like weight gain, increased blood sugar, and increased blood pressure, but is actually playing a causative role. This is a major breakthrough in the field of PCOS research. Listen in as we discuss: - What is uric acid & why does your body create it - How high uric acid can cause PCOS symptoms - How to test your uric acid levels and what is a healthy rate - How to fix elevated uric acid level: important lifestyle and supplement additions
