Publisher's summary

The New York Times best-selling author of Grain Brain and Brain Wash offers simple dietary and lifestyle tweaks to help you lose weight, prevent (and reverse) disease, and live a long and healthy life by reducing high uric acid levels - the hidden health risk you didn't know you had.

What do obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, neurological disorders, and premature death have in common? All can be stoked by high uric acid levels.

Our most respected scientific literature is bursting with evidence that elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection. This is especially alarming because a large number of Americans don’t know they are suffering from increased levels, putting them at risk for developing or exacerbating potentially life-threatening illnesses.

Offering an engaging blend of science and practical advice, Drop Acid exposes the deadly truth about uric acid and teaches invaluable strategies to manage its levels, including:

  • Simple dietary edits focused on reducing fructose and foods high in “purines” that can raise uric acid
  • Natural hacks that lower levels such as consuming tart cherries, vitamin C, quercetin, and coffee
  • Identifying common pharmaceuticals that threaten to increase uric acid
  • Lifestyle interventions, like restorative sleep and exercise
  • How to easily test your uric acid levels at home - a test routinely performed in your doctor’s office during regular check-ups but typically ignored.

Featuring the groundbreaking “LUV” (Lower Uric Values) diet, 35 delicious recipes, self-assessment quizzes, and a 21-day program for dropping levels, Drop Acid empowers listeners with the information they need to address this hidden danger and live longer, leaner, and healthier lives.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Highly Recommended

I enjoyed the research put into the book and how Dr. Perlmutter reported it. I learned so much about Uric Acid. I thought it only caused gout and was amazed at the other areas of our bodies it influences. I did not agree with all the food information because I am strict Keto but understand everyone is different. Great read!

Vital information

In our ever growing world - and waistlines - this book is a must have!

Dr. Perlmutter clearly delineates the true source of our modern obesity epidemic that is the leading cause of the global chronic disease crisis.

If longevity & vitality are your goal, if you want to fix or improve your health, or you want to prevent “bad genes” from killing you, then Drop Acid is a necessary addition on your wellness journey.
