Introducing Drop Acid: A New Book from Dr. David Perlmutter
The video introduces Dr. David Perlmutter’s new book Drop Acid, which argues that uric acid is the primary driver behind the widespread metabolic health problems affecting 88% of American adults—overweight, high blood sugar, and hypertension—that in turn increase risk for Alzheimer’s, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, cancer, and severe COVID outcomes. While historically linked only to gout, recent research now positions uric acid as a central regulator of blood‑sugar metabolism, fat storage, blood‑pressure control, and more. The book promises to translate this emerging science into actionable steps: how to measure one’s uric‑acid level, which dietary changes, lifestyle habits, and a specific supplement protocol can lower uric acid from merely normal to optimal, and thereby improve overall metabolic health.
