Episode notes

The biggest issues that lead to a disfunctional brain mechanistically are things like in flammation, elevated blood sugar and certainly the action of chemicals called free radicals. All three of those are powerfully amplified when uric acid is elevated. Uric cid is only made from three things, the metabolism or the breakdown of something called purines. Higher dietary fructos, higher uric acid, higher inflammation, bad for the brain.

Why should you drop acid?

This may seem like a very provocative question, but it refers to a particular type of acid in your body that you should be aware of. When levels of this acid build-up, it can cause a lot of damage to your metabolic health.
