Clinical Protocol

7-Day Uric Acid Reduction Plan

A specialized low-purine, anti-inflammatory nutrition strategy designed to lower serum uric acid levels and prevent metabolic stress.

Protocol Objectives
Fructose Elimination

Strictly eliminate high-fructose corn syrup and limit fruit fructose, as fructose metabolism directly increases uric acid production.

Purine Management

Avoid high-purine foods like organ meats, shellfish, and certain fish (sardines/anchovies) that break down into uric acid.

Hydration & pH Balance

Increase water intake significantly to aid renal excretion of uric acid. Citrate from lemons helps alkalize urine.

Alcohol Cessation

Complete avoidance of alcohol, especially beer, which is high in guanosine (a potent purine) and inhibits uric acid excretion.

Day 1 Hydration & Flush
Breakfast
Cherry & Almond Smoothie
Tart cherries actively lower uric acid.
Lunch
Quinoa & Cucumber Salad
Low purine, hydrating grain base.
Dinner
Vegetable Stir-Fry with Tofu
Plant proteins are safer for gout.
Day 2 Vitamin C Boost
Breakfast
Scrambled Eggs with Peppers
Vitamin C aids uric acid excretion.
Lunch
Lentil Soup with Kale
Moderate purine but safe legumes.
Dinner
Roasted Chicken Breast & Squash
Lean poultry is lower purine than red meat.
Day 3 Alkalizing
Breakfast
Avocado Toast on Sourdough
Healthy fats, no sugar.
Lunch
Large Green Salad with Lemon Dressing
Lemon citrate prevents stones.
Dinner
Zucchini Noodles & Pesto
Light, low-inflammatory dinner.
Day 4 Gut Integrity
Breakfast
Greek Yogurt with Walnuts
Dairy proteins lower uric acid.
Lunch
Butternut Squash Soup
Potassium-rich to support kidneys.
Dinner
Baked Cod with Green Beans
White fish is a lower purine option.
Day 5 Fiber Loading
Breakfast
Oatmeal with Flaxseeds
Soluble fiber binds toxins.
Lunch
Chickpea & Avocado Wrap
Fiber-rich plant protein.
Dinner
Eggplant Parmesan (Baked)
Vegetarian mains reduce purine load.
Day 6 Anti-Inflammatory
Breakfast
Turmeric Golden Milk & Eggs
Curcumin reduces joint inflammation.
Lunch
Rice & Black Bean Bowl
Complete protein, low purine.
Dinner
Poached Salmon & Asparagus
Omega-3s fight inflammation.
Day 7 Metabolic Reset

Protocol Guidelines & Science
The Fructose Connection

Fructose is the only carbohydrate that increases uric acid. Unlike glucose, fructose metabolism depletes cellular ATP, leading to uric acid generation as a waste product.

Coffee is Protective

Regular coffee consumption (caf or decaf) is associated with lower uric acid levels due to its specific antioxidant profile.
