On this episode, we chat with Dr. Sho Fukui about his recent study on rising uric acid levels and what’s driving the increase. We dig into the links between weight, obesity, and gout, and hear how a huge health checkup database in Japan helped uncover some eye-opening trends. Dr. Fukui breaks down the findings in simple terms, shares how they compare to older studies like MRFIT, and talks about what they could mean for treatments like GLP-1s. Plus, we get a sneak peek at the exciting research he’s working on next!
