Скачать или смотреть What Is Gout? A Functional Medicine Approach to Relief and Prevention

Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, which crystallize in the joints—most commonly the big toe. It can lead to sudden, intense pain, swelling, redness, and limited mobility. But gout isn’t just about joint pain—it’s a sign of deeper metabolic imbalances.

At Vida Integrated Health, we approach gout through a Functional Medicine lens, looking beyond symptoms to identify root causes. High uric acid levels can be influenced by poor detoxification, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, kidney dysfunction, and dietary choices.

🔍 What contributes to gout?
🔸Diets high in purines (red meat, organ meats, shellfish)
🔸Alcohol, especially beer
🔸Fructose and high-sugar processed foods
🔸Obesity and metabolic syndrome
🔸Poor gut health and kidney clearance

🧬 Our Functional Medicine approach includes:
✔️ Advanced lab testing for uric acid, insulin, inflammation, and kidney function
✔️ Anti-inflammatory, low-purine nutrition plans
✔️ Identifying and addressing metabolic dysfunction
✔️ Gut and liver support for detox pathways
✔️ Lifestyle strategies to reduce recurrence

By treating the underlying drivers, we don’t just manage gout—we help prevent flare-ups and restore overall metabolic health.
