About this episode

Why should you drop acid?

This may seem like a very provocative question, but it refers to a particular type of acid in your body that you should be aware of. When levels of this acid build-up, it can cause a lot of damage to your metabolic health.

We have Dr. David Perlmutter on our show today to discuss the topic in more depth. Dr. Perlmutter is an MD board-certified neurologist and five-times New York Times best-selling author. He’s here today to talk about the central idea behind his new book, Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid—The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health.

Maintaining excellent brain and body health is essential so that you can leverage all the tools we teach you to unlock your limitless life. Listen in as Dr. Perlmutter gives you actionable steps you can take right now to manage your uric acid and regain control over your metabolism, lower inflammation, and increase your overall well-being.
