I am RA patient since i was 19. I became a high protein carnivorous about 10 years ago, got off of all meds and no pains. Work out 5 days a week and decided to become a personal trainer last year so here I am, now I am a personal trainer at the age of 51.

I follow and have followed numerous Keto/Carnivore video "Doctors" over the years. Many are just show ponies and lack any real experience as practitioners and are soon relegated to the Unsubscribe bin! Dr Cywes is by far one of the most articulate, accurate and admirable people on the subject. I have gained so much more insight because of his ability to convey information.

Thank-you for covering this!! This is very relevant to me as I started to develop uric acid kidney stones on a strict carnivore diet. I had no issues with stones as a ketovore. My urine pH is very acidic. I thought it was purines, but now I understand this must be protein wasting. Light bulb moments here. Looking forward to the next video as I'll need to make some adjustments to the diet.

That was really interesting! I was wondering, if I need to worry about uric acid, for a while. Gout sounds like an absolute nightmare. I'm team 'high fat', though. Lean protein just isn't satiating to me. Almost like carbs. There's just nothing like fatty meat, to trigger that 'switch' in my brain, that truly means I don't want food anymore for the rest of the day.

In my own n=1 experience tracking Uric Acid daily, meat definitely directly contributed to increased uric acid. This stems from genetic hyperuricemia that I inherited from my father. After eating a heavy meat diet for a year (and eating no fructose), I proceeded to lower my uric acid from 10 mg/dL down to below 5.5 mg/dL by consuming dairy and whey protein (a purine free protein source) for a period of time while abstaining from meat. Context is very important when thinking about uric acid, fructose is not the only culprit.

@@Mr-hn2bp Exactly. Although this is highly context dependent. For example, a person that is obese and consumes high fructose corn syrup-filled sodas most likely has their hyperuricemia from those factors. But someone with genetic hyperuricemia may be perfectly healthy, athletic, eat zero fructose, and still experience hyperuricemia from purine intake.

Just an FYI, purine intake definitely does have an affect on uric acid. Protein turnover from muscle breakdown does as well, but its important to recognized that BOTH do this. If one has genetic gout (as opposed to obesity-induced gout), dietary changes alone, depending on the person, may not be adequate to lower uric acid.

High sugar levels in the blood causes glycation of vascular proteins through a nonenzymatic browning reaction called Millard Reaction. This is a browning process turning cooked food brown. Fructose is seven times as potent as glucose in this browning process due to its more strained 5-member ring causing it easier to exist in a linear conformation. Galactose is 3 to 4 times more potent as glucose in glycation of proteins. High blood pressure physically damages the blood vessels. Pathogens can cause inflammation.

As a counter position, I suffered from severe gout for forty years. Attacks happened during times of stress in particular during the first academic term in the university where I taught. In the last four/five years, since retirement. I brought my weight down to slightly above normal BMI. Once this has been accomplished {this took about a year) I then sought to defeat gout. In the first instance I took medical advice (usual generic solutions - i,e don't eat purine heavy things quit drinking (i drink very little anyway). This advice was ineffective. I am a scientist so I bought myself an electronic uric acid meter and glucose monitor for about $20. I calibrated it against an official medical blood test. I then set about looking how to control uric acid in my blood. Both increasing and decreasing it. This is what I found FOR ME 1] Low carbohydrate diet had little impact on uric acid levels - the gout recurred. I would add that when I control weight usually I go low carb. 2} I had a slight knee issue outside gout. I did keto for seven months It took me about a month to get into the keto cycle. Over six months my uric acid levels increased particularly when I did cardio (I do about five hours rowing a week). The keto diet exacerbated the gout attacks and during them I had to actively manage the pain. The initial knee problem - inflammation- was not resolved using keto. 3} I tried intermittent fasting i.e one day a week fast going up to two days a week after a months acclimatization. . I actually enjoyed the fasting and felt better BUT after exercise my uric acid level went through the roof. This was tested for about six months. I did not fast to lose weight. I maintained the calorie level to maintain weight. 4] All the above meant reducing fruit intake to virtually zero, As the above had adverse effects I then moved to a diet containing fruits (up to 15 portions a day of different fruits including bad ones like melon and banana). Protein I got mainly from high fat Greek yogurt and a bit of fish and red meat every two weeks. Mixed unsalted nuts were chucked in too. The result of this was a slightly lower uric acid level which I maintained for about two years -The gout attacks still occurred every 9 months but were much less severe and more manageable. 5} The final part was I noticed that if I had a sourdough sandwich late at night (a very big no no by many health standards) my glucose level dropped by one point AND uric acid levels dropped by 100 units the following morning. This really shouldn't happen!! This put my UA acid levels slightly above healthy average for the population After four/five years work, six blood tests week and being consistent and firm with my diet, my gout has not recurred in over 15 months. In the lead up to the "totally clear" time I had one minor attack of gout in the previous 9 months. If my UA levels increase I now I have to either a) calibrate the electric meter or b} I have two sandwiches before bed. Note that my diet is pretty much counter to your recommendations.. i.e high, really high, diverse fruit intake, little red meat and what amounts to 30% by calories in carbs. Ice been pretty much clear of gout for two years. and UA is under control. Conclusion The above to a lot of time and testing - I was heavily driven to sort out the problem and was fortunate enough to be scientific. The above process is not for everyone. Frankly I think compliance would be the downfall of anyone attempting the above. I have realized that my body behaves very differently to some people. Having said that I do cardio of five hours a week, strength train five times a week and I have ended up with a largely plant based diet (us tp 35 different planes a week) with fat coming from yogurt and nuts and a limited amount of meat. I keep my BMI on the high side of normal. I drink in moderation. I treat food largely a fuel or nutrition. If you go to the CDC web site in the States or NHS website in the UK - or even the World health organisation site) the guidance is to do what I ended up with. There are no easy or general solutions to health but the above guidance from national health bodies actually seems pretty good.

Other bodies will almost certainly behave differently. A universal help seems to be to keep yourr BMI around normal, drink in moderation don't smoke. Beyond that, if the attacks are bad then get medical help and testing. As the CDC , NHS and World Health Organisation indicate/.

Thanks for giving me something to look into more specifically. As for molecules, allulose is a specific molecule. The actual chemical name apparently is D-Psicose. It's a stereoisomer of fructose. You can think of it as the mirror universe version of fructose, except it's the good one. "Vitamin E" is a family of four different molecules. Vitamin C is one specific molecule, Vitamin C from an orange or from a lab are *exactly* the same. A purified sample made from orange is 100% identical to a lab sample of the same purity. No one would ever be able to tell which is which (except perhaps by the level of purity a lab could create).

Yes because of the loss of water and electrolytes. Carbs retain water. When you go keto, that's the first thing that happens. Your system gets flushed. You have to up your water and electrolytes. Minimum 2 litres per day.

DR. Cywes, thanks for another great lesson and giving me AHA moment... been on keto, then high fat carnivore. My BP started creeping up, to 170/100 and stated gaining fat! I found Maria's and Todd's Emmerich videos about Protein Sparing diet( i dont think so thwy have any medical or any health care field related education) and I thought well , I need to lower my high fat intake and start eating more lean protein . Maybe thats why my joints giving me some pain now?! But my question is Doesn't our body make saturated fat if needed? Thanks 😊

As a gout sufferer I am puzzled. There is an idea that high uric acid in the blood is what leads to crystalisation. But it is known that gout can strike with normal levels, and that some people with high uric acid do not always get gout. Also Allorurinol can trigger gout. So what is going on - what other conditions other than concentration cause the crystalising phase of gout?

Been keto/carnivore-ish for 9 months. 2 months ago uric acid was 7.1 and BUN was 14. I eat NO fructose/sugar that I know of. I put a little stevia in my coffee. I eat mostly meat with a little veg, and some peanuts. That's it, really. I have an appt with Dr. Cywes in Aug. I really want to get my metabolic heath in order as I have heart disease (CAC of 600). A little scared of consuming more sat fat as my cardiologist warns me not to. Anyway, can wait for my appt with Dr Cywes. Gotta get a plan...

This is all 100% correct. Been thoroughly covered by Robert Lusrig years ago. I have been a vegetarian for a decade and I developed gout (before I learned all this stuff). I have been a keto vegetarian for 11 months now and ny gout has gone, bur more than being keto I am also *very* strict about fructose consumption (no more than 4g per day). I now eat 4 eggs a day and my gout is gone. Previously i would eat perhaps 4 eggs per week when I had gout.

My last gout flare was when I was not eating high protein but I was doing intermittent fasting and the loss of water, minerals(potassium) and dehydration was enough to set off an attack. Recently I got up to 140 grams of protein daily without a flare but I use a high potassium electrolyte. I've reduced my protein since then due to becoming more and more hungry. My first gout flare was when I was in my 20's and vegetarian.

15:25 seems to be one of the most critical claims in the whole video but he provides no supporting evidence. His claim is that eating meat doesn't increase purine levels significantly because the purines that are in the meat are not absorbed adequately. This is the main debated point, and he spends time explaining how the textbooks have it all wrong but then he just makes a claim that the "purines are not absorbed adequately" and moves on. No studies. No citations of texts. Nothing. He says he doesn't see purine levels increase in his patients, but shows no records or proof of that. We literally just have to treat him like a priest and blindly believe his words. This is *_SOOOOO_* frustrating. It's a 25 minute video...

Had my last gout attack 3 weeks ago. My 3rd in 2024. I take short term prednesone for the attacks. I have a auto immune . But not sure what one it is.
