Beyond The Pain Gout: Why Medication Alone Isn’t Enough with Spiro Koulouris
Gout is often treated as a simple problem of high uric acid — take medication, avoid a few foods, and carry on.
But for many people, that approach leads to recurrent flare-ups, worsening symptoms, and long-term health issues.
In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon is joined by Spiro Koulouris to unpack what’s really driving gout and why medication alone is rarely enough.
Spiro explains:
Why gout is fundamentally a lifestyle and metabolic condition
How relying solely on medication can allow uric acid levels to keep rising
The role of diet, hydration, stress, and daily habits in gout progression
Common misconceptions that prevent people from truly resolving gout
What needs to change if someone wants long-term relief, not just symptom suppression
This conversation challenges the conventional narrative around gout and offers a more complete, root-cause perspective on managing — and potentially preventing — future flare-ups.
