Quercetin and Resveratrol as Uric Acid Support

In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down why uric acid is far more than a gout marker—it's a major driver behind heart disease, cognitive decline, and metabolic dysfunction. You'll learn how elevated levels develop, what they signal in the body, and why keeping uric acid in a healthy range is essential for long-term wellness.

You'll also hear how fructose, processed sugars, alcohol, and modern food habits quietly push uric acid higher. Dr. Jockers explains the biggest dietary offenders, how they impact your kidneys and liver, and the surprising link between uric acid and conditions like fatty liver and hypertension.

Finally, you'll discover the practical strategies that can bring uric acid back into balance. From hydration and intermittent fasting to key nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, quercetin, and tart cherry, you'll walk away with simple, effective steps to support better metabolic and brain health.
