A doctor was able to stop crippling gout that haunted him for years within a matter of weeks. The painful flare-ups vanished quickly and never returned.   What changed for Dr. Richard Schmidt? He began focusing on different protein sources than he was used to. While he never ate heavily processed junk food, his diet did feature what he considered to be healthy sources of protein such as fish and lean meats.   He decided to eliminate them after discovering research showing their ties to inflammatory gout attacks. He now focuses exclusively on plant-based protein sources and has never looked back.   It is a remarkable turnaround for someone who once needed a wheelchair because the gout flare-ups had become so extreme.   Dr. Schmidt is a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist based in Mountain View, Calif. He also serves on the President’s Council of the Physicians Committee.   On This Episode - What causes gout? - How gout is treated - What wasn’t working for Dr. Schmidt - Top triggers for gout - Best foods for gout - Dr. Schmidt’s fateful trip to Japan - How quickly his symptoms improved after eliminating meat and dairy - Dr. Schmidt’s new outlook on life - The need for more research on treating gout with dietary changes - And more!   — — OUR FRIENDS — — Dr. Richard Schmidt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantpowereddoctor — — RESOURCES — — Protein Sources and Risk Study https://bit.ly/GoutProteinStudy — — — Gout Diet Study https://bit.ly/GoutDietStudy2023 — — — Gout Q&A with Dr. Neal Barnard Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz75VxVfkcY — — EVENTS — — The Power Foods Revolution 🫐 Where: Washington, DC - The National Press Club Date: March 26, 2024 Time: 7:00pm Who: Dr. Neal Barnard, Chuck Carroll, Dustin Harder, Stefanie Ignoffo Tickets: https://bit.ly/PowerFoodsTixDC — — — Dr. Michael Greger Podcast 🎙️ Where: Toronto, Ontario - Enercare Centre Date: March 23, 2024 Time: 7:30pm Who: Dr. Michael Greger, Chuck Carroll Tickets: https://bit.ly/GregerTorontoPodcast — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — - Exclusive early access to select interviews - Pre-sale opportunities for live event tickets - Exclusive live online events VIP sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
