Zusammenfassung

TLDRThe video discusses how urinary frequency problems, particularly nocturnal urination or nocturia, can be managed effectively through dietary changes rather than medication. It explains that the root cause is often not directly related to bladder issues or conditions like an enlarged prostate, but rather to high levels of insulin, which is commonly overlooked in standard tests. Insulin affects the adrenal hormones that control fluid retention, leading to increased urination. High insulin levels are usually caused by snacking, particularly at night. To tackle this, the video suggests avoiding nighttime snacking, reducing carbohydrate intake to less than 30 grams per day (a ketogenic diet), and adopting intermittent fasting. These adjustments can stabilize insulin levels and significantly reduce urinary frequency, allowing for better sleep and overall health. The video also points out that those with metabolic syndrome often experience urinary frequency and might benefit from these dietary changes.

Mitbringsel

  • 💡 High insulin inhibits adrenal hormones, leading to excess urination.
  • 📉 Reduce carbs to decrease insulin – try a keto diet and intermittent fasting.
  • 🤔 Prostate treatment might not solve the root issue of frequent urination.
  • 🩺 Insulin levels are rarely tested but crucial in diagnosing urinary issues.
  • 🥗 Adjusting dietary habits can lead to quick improvements in urinary frequency.
  • 🛑 Stop eating and drinking late at night to prevent interruptions in sleep.

    The video addresses the issue of frequent urination at night, emphasizing that it's not primarily a bladder problem but related to a dietary issue. Nighttime urination (bacteriuria) affects both men and women, leading to fatigue and blood sugar problems due to disrupted sleep, which can cause irritability and cognitive issues. Common misconceptions link this condition to UTIs, enlarged prostate, or excessive water intake. However, the video suggests these are not the primary causes. Instead, it focuses on the correlation between high insulin levels, typically observed in diabetics, and urinary frequency. Studies on insulin and its effect on urination, particularly involving dogs, support this association. High insulin inhibits adrenal hormones that should retain fluid, leading to urinary frequency. Metabolic syndrome, characterized by conditions such as high blood pressure and insulin resistance, is often found in those experiencing urinary frequency.

  • 00:00:00
    i'm going to show you how to fix urinary
  • 00:00:02
    frequency once and for all out of all
  • 00:00:04
    the conditions that are out there this
  • 00:00:05
    one is a pain in the butt because
  • 00:00:08
    it interrupts your sleep here you are
  • 00:00:11
    just trying to rest and you're getting
  • 00:00:13
    up two three four times a night when i
  • 00:00:15
    was in practice there was a guy that
  • 00:00:17
    came in and he was getting up i'm not
  • 00:00:19
    kidding ten times a night now i'm going
  • 00:00:22
    to show you how easy it is to get rid of
  • 00:00:24
    this condition all you have to do is
  • 00:00:25
    understand the mechanism now urination
  • 00:00:28
    at night is called bacteria and it
  • 00:00:30
    happens equally in men
  • 00:00:32
    and women and urinary frequency is not a
  • 00:00:36
    problem with the bladder that's the tip
  • 00:00:38
    of the iceberg that is a symptom there's
  • 00:00:40
    something else going on and when you
  • 00:00:41
    understand it you can get rid of it and
  • 00:00:43
    it's not going to be taking any pills
  • 00:00:45
    it's just a shift in what you eat it's a
  • 00:00:48
    dietary problem but the main unnecessary
  • 00:00:51
    problem with this condition
  • 00:00:52
    is that it leads to
  • 00:00:55
    fatigue the next day and blood sugar
  • 00:00:58
    problems you're going to be craving
  • 00:00:59
    carbs the next day because a lack of
  • 00:01:01
    sleep will alter your blood sugars and
  • 00:01:04
    it affects cortisol which affects your
  • 00:01:06
    mood so you're grouchy and irritable and
  • 00:01:08
    it can even affect your cognitive
  • 00:01:09
    function your ability to concentrate and
  • 00:01:11
    your memory now if you actually do
  • 00:01:13
    research on this topic you're going to
  • 00:01:15
    find that
  • 00:01:16
    they're going to talk about it could be
  • 00:01:17
    a uti it could be an enlarged prostate
  • 00:01:21
    it could be a kidney stone it's usually
  • 00:01:24
    because you're drinking too much water
  • 00:01:26
    and all of these could be a factor but
  • 00:01:28
    there's something else that's way more
  • 00:01:30
    common now if you're a man
  • 00:01:33
    you've probably been told that your
  • 00:01:34
    prostate is enlarged so that's what's
  • 00:01:36
    causing your problem getting up at night
  • 00:01:38
    but here's the thing when you actually
  • 00:01:40
    treat in a large prostate
  • 00:01:43
    this symptom rarely goes away so the
  • 00:01:46
    treatment of the prostate doesn't fix
  • 00:01:48
    the bacteria and another question that
  • 00:01:51
    comes up is
  • 00:01:52
    you know you're told that you have too
  • 00:01:54
    much testosterone a certain type of
  • 00:01:56
    testosterone and that's why your
  • 00:01:57
    prostate is enlarged but then why is it
  • 00:01:59
    that testosterone decreases with age and
  • 00:02:03
    prostate enlargement increases with age
  • 00:02:06
    so there's all these confusions that
  • 00:02:08
    come up but here's what we know for sure
  • 00:02:11
    diabetics
  • 00:02:13
    nearly always have problems with urinary
  • 00:02:15
    frequency
  • 00:02:17
    what's the difference between a diabetic
  • 00:02:19
    and someone who doesn't have diabetes
  • 00:02:22
    high levels of sugar and many times high
  • 00:02:25
    levels of insulin unless they are a
  • 00:02:28
    diabetic type one here's the next clue
  • 00:02:31
    in a study related to dogs and i'm going
  • 00:02:33
    to put these studies down below it was
  • 00:02:35
    found that when you administer insulin
  • 00:02:37
    to these dogs you have a significant
  • 00:02:40
    output of urine these dogs start dumping
  • 00:02:43
    lots of urine here's another clue
  • 00:02:46
    insulin inhibits
  • 00:02:48
    the adrenal hormones that are supposed
  • 00:02:51
    to hold urine so the adrenals have a lot
  • 00:02:53
    of different hormones and one of the
  • 00:02:55
    hormones is supposed to retain fluid
  • 00:02:59
    well insulin blocks that hormone so
  • 00:03:02
    guess what's going to happen you're
  • 00:03:03
    going to release a lot of urine and the
  • 00:03:05
    last clue is this high levels of insulin
  • 00:03:08
    are nearly always found in
  • 00:03:10
    overactive bladder syndrome
  • 00:03:13
    now what is one thing that doctors never
  • 00:03:16
    ever test
  • 00:03:18
    insulin they check your blood sugars but
  • 00:03:20
    they never do a fasting insulin test
  • 00:03:23
    high levels of insulin nearly always
  • 00:03:26
    come before pre-diabetes
  • 00:03:29
    high levels of insulin are also
  • 00:03:31
    associated with insulin resistance and
  • 00:03:33
    many people both men and women
  • 00:03:36
    who have urination frequency at night
  • 00:03:38
    also have
  • 00:03:40
    metabolic syndrome they might have high
  • 00:03:41
    blood pressure they might have an
  • 00:03:43
    enlarged gut they might have blood sugar
  • 00:03:46
    issues they might have discoloration in
  • 00:03:48
    the lower part of the leg like these
  • 00:03:51
    different spots they might have edema or
  • 00:03:54
    swelling in the lower extremities
  • 00:03:56
    they tend to get tired after they eat
  • 00:03:58
    lunch they have to take a nap and they
  • 00:04:00
    can't go for a long period of time
  • 00:04:02
    without needing to eat so the most
  • 00:04:04
    likely situation that's causing your
  • 00:04:06
    urinary frequency is high levels of
  • 00:04:10
    insulin so the next question is
  • 00:04:13
    what causes high insulin
  • 00:04:15
    before bed and the answer is
  • 00:04:18
    snacking
  • 00:04:19
    snacking at nighttime is the number one
  • 00:04:23
    reason
  • 00:04:24
    for high levels of insulin throughout
  • 00:04:26
    the night
  • 00:04:27
    snacking
  • 00:04:29
    increases
  • 00:04:30
    insulin
  • 00:04:31
    eating
  • 00:04:32
    increases insulin and so does high carbs
  • 00:04:35
    i mean a lot of people know that it's
  • 00:04:37
    the carbohydrate in sugar that increases
  • 00:04:39
    insulin but they don't connect the dot
  • 00:04:41
    between the eating so even if someone is
  • 00:04:44
    consuming a low carb snack you're still
  • 00:04:48
    raising insulin so this is what you need
  • 00:04:50
    to do it's very very simple it's not
  • 00:04:52
    complicated it's going to produce some
  • 00:04:54
    quick changes it might take a couple
  • 00:04:56
    days to work but it will work number one
  • 00:05:00
    stop snacking at night
  • 00:05:02
    take the snack that you would normally
  • 00:05:04
    eat at night and push it to your dinner
  • 00:05:07
    and don't eat anything after 6 30
  • 00:05:10
    pm
  • 00:05:12
    and don't drink anything past 6 30 pm
  • 00:05:16
    just make sure you drink enough food
  • 00:05:17
    fluid to the day but don't drink at
  • 00:05:19
    night because the combination of high
  • 00:05:21
    insulin and that extra water that you
  • 00:05:22
    drink before you go to bed will
  • 00:05:24
    definitely keep you up all night long
  • 00:05:26
    all right so if you just do that you're
  • 00:05:27
    going to see some really amazing changes
  • 00:05:30
    but the other two things you need to do
  • 00:05:32
    is start cutting your carbs down to
  • 00:05:34
    less than 30 grams per day that is
  • 00:05:37
    called the ketogenic diet that's going
  • 00:05:39
    to really help you so you can sleep
  • 00:05:41
    through the entire night and not get up
  • 00:05:43
    at all and when you're doing a low carb
  • 00:05:45
    diet you also want to add intermittent
  • 00:05:47
    fasting to that if you're new to my
  • 00:05:49
    channel and you would like more
  • 00:05:50
