When you’re insulin resistant, that is, you’ve got metabolic syndrome, pretty much every chemical in the body is NOT QUITE RIGHT. Some are up. Some are down. Few are actually at physiologically NORMAL levels.
Traditionally the focus is on the big guns.
• Sugar
• Insulin
• And cholesterol
In this series, we take a look at some of the other players.
Who they are, what they’re up to and how they’re part of the state of insulin resistance.
In this episode, we look at uric acid - THE TRICKSTER.
Uric acid has a special role to play in human biology - it's part of what makes humans unique and special, but too much, uric acid, is both a cause and a consquence of insulin resistance.
If you're insulin resistant, lowering uric acid levels, should be on your list of things to do.
