🍗 Can you eat chicken if you have gout?

Yes — but portion size and preparation matter. Chicken is usually a better choice than processed meats, but eating too much or pairing it with rich, salty foods can still work against your uric acid goals.

In this video, I break down how chicken fits into a gout-friendly diet and how to eat it smarter.

Pizza is usually a sometimes food in a gout diet, not an everyday one.

It is not automatically bad, but it depends on the toppings and how much you eat. Cheese is generally fine for many people, but pizza can become less gout-friendly when it includes processed meats like pepperoni or sausage, plus lots of salt and refined carbs.

A better option is a simpler pizza with veggie toppings, lighter cheese, and no processed meat. Portion size matters too.

🥓 Processed meats and gout? Not the best combo.

Foods like bacon, sausage, hot dogs, deli meats, and salami can be high in purines, sodium, and unhealthy fats — all things that may work against your uric acid goals.

In this slideshow, I break down why processed meats can be a problem and what smarter swaps you can make instead.

☀️💧 Summer humidity can be rough on gout.

When it’s hot and humid, you sweat more and can get dehydrated faster — and dehydration may make uric acid more concentrated in the blood, raising the risk of a flare.

Stay ahead of it: drink water, limit alcohol, and don’t wait until you’re thirsty.

Gout pain can start on your plate. 👣

Certain foods — like organ meats, red meat, some seafood, alcohol, and sugary drinks — may raise uric acid and trigger painful flare-ups.

Knowing what to avoid is the first step to taking control.

⚠️ A recent study found that gout flare-ups are more likely in the days after surgery.

Why? Changes in hydration, inflammation, stress on the body, and shifts in uric acid levels after an operation may all play a role. In one postsurgical study, flares often happened within just a few days. 

If you have a history of gout and surgery coming up, it’s worth talking with your doctor before the procedure so you have a plan in place.

When you have gout and realize the “enemy list” includes shrimp, sausage, hot dogs, and beer…

So basically my joints looked at my entire cookout plate and said,
“Absolutely not.” 😭🍤🌭🍺

When people talk about gout, they usually talk about pain. They talk about swollen joints, sleepless nights, and not being able to walk. I talk about those things too. But today, I want to talk about something just as real — the toll gout can take on your mind.

⚠️ A gout attack isn’t “just joint pain.”

The sudden swelling, redness, heat, and intense tenderness can feel overwhelming — and it often comes out of nowhere. Understanding what’s happening inside the joint may help you respond faster and manage it smarter.

Knowledge is power when it comes to flare-ups.

🍎 Apple cider vinegar and gout — does it actually help?

Some people swear by it, claiming it supports digestion and overall wellness. But when it comes to uric acid and joint health, the science is still limited.

If you’re considering adding ACV to your routine, it’s important to understand what it can — and can’t — do.

🍒 Who knew one little daily habit could make such a difference?

I added Gout and You’s Tart Cherry Extract to my routine — 3000mg per serving — and let’s just say… my mornings feel a whole lot smoother.

Sometimes it’s not about doing everything. It’s about doing one smart thing consistently.
