Our Story: From Pain to Prevention
A Personal Journey
Gout Radar wasn't born in a boardroom or research lab – it was born from real pain and real need. Our founder's journey began three years ago with a devastating gout attack that left him unable to walk for days. Like millions of others, he found himself trapped in a cycle of pain, confusion, and dietary fear.
"I remember standing in the grocery store, holding a piece of fish, wondering if it would trigger another attack. The purine charts online were confusing and contradictory. I needed something simple, reliable, and instant."
The Breakthrough Year
Through dedicated research, consultation with leading endocrinologists, and careful implementation of evidence-based dietary changes and hydration protocols, something remarkable happened: an entire year without a single gout flare-up.
The key wasn't just avoiding high-purine foods – it was about:
- Smart food choices based on accurate purine data
- Consistent hydration with proper tracking
- Long-term pattern recognition to identify personal triggers
- Sustainable lifestyle changes rather than restrictive dieting
Sharing the Solution
What started as a personal health journey quickly became a mission to help others. Friends and family members struggling with gout began asking for guidance. The manual tracking sheets and food lists that worked for one person became the foundation for something bigger – an AI-powered tool that could help anyone, anywhere, make informed decisions about their health.
