Gout is caused by Uric acid.
And high levels of uric acid causes Metabolic Syndrome.
There are supplements available to reduce uric acid.
And there are videos on youtube that explain how uric acid functions in the body and why too much causes metabolic syndrome.

There are also devices similar to blood glucose monitors that can measure uric acid in the blood.
