Summary

Attempting to address urination frequency by treating an enlarged prostate is not the best solution! Frequent urination is often blamed on an enlarged prostate, UTIs, or kidney stones, but there’s a much more common root cause.

The most common cause of frequent urination at night is too much insulin in your blood. Insulin resistance is a condition where your insulin receptors no longer accept insulin. To compensate, the pancreas produces more insulin. This is why many diabetics have a problem with urinary frequency at night.

When blood sugar is high, the kidneys remove the sugar from the blood to eliminate it from the body. This increases urination frequency.

Insulin resistance causes an overactive bladder, even if your blood sugar is normal. Increased urinary frequency at night is an early sign of insulin resistance, which is a precursor to diabetes.

Insulin resistance increases stress on the kidneys, which is why diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease. Insulin resistance can also cause electrolyte imbalances, blood pressure changes at night, and increased cortisol.

Snacking at night is the single most significant cause of frequent urination at night. Eliminate all snacks and beverages after dinner to decrease urination frequency at night. Snacking at night can also cause bloating and interrupted sleep.

A low-salt diet can also increase urination frequency at night. If you think your nocturia is due to low salt, add more sea salt to your meals throughout the day.

A low-carb diet can help reduce nocturia symptoms. Keep your carb consumption under 30 grams per day. Healthy Keto® can combat insulin resistance, improve your health, and reduce frequent urination at night.

Intermittent fasting is equally important in reversing insulin resistance. Aim for 3 meals with no snacks, eventually dropping down to 2 meals each day.

Ending nocturia will significantly enhance your sleep, which is vital for your heart, blood sugar, stress levels, energy, cognitive function, and more. Don’t forget to get plenty of vitamin D with magnesium.

0:00.0	Today I'm going to show you how to stop nighttime urination. It is not hard to fix this problem
0:06.0	if you know the underlying root cause. The biggest mistake or problem with people with
0:12.2	urinary frequency, especially at night, they don't know that 95% of the time it's this other thing
0:19.2	over here. And if you don't fix that, you're not going
0:22.0	to see results. I did another video on this topic a while ago. I'll put the link down below.

0:35.3	doesn't work. Thinking that your prostate is the primary
0:38.4	problem. So many people either take medications or natural things for the prostate doesn't really
0:42.8	change the frequency of their urination at night. Sometimes people will say, well, let's say
0:48.1	urinary tract infection or it's kidney stones or it's this or that. Yeah, it might be, but there's
0:53.1	something way more common.
0:54.5	The number one most common problem with urinary frequency at night is too much insulin in your
1:01.7	blood. There's a condition called insulin resistance, which is a situation where your body's
1:07.7	receptors are not absorbing insulin. And then the body has to compensate by sending signals to the pancreas to tell it to produce more insulin.
1:16.9	There's a super high percentage of diabetics that have a problem getting up to the night and urinating very frequently.
1:23.4	If you do have high blood sugar, what's going to happen is wherever the sugar goes, the water is going to go.
1:29.8	Anytime the sugar is high, the body is going to get rid of it through the kidneys because it's considered toxic,
1:35.5	and you're going to pee out more frequently.
1:37.8	It's called polyurea, which basically means you're urinating very frequently.
1:42.1	Insulin resistance causes an overactive bladder, even if
1:45.9	your blood sugar is normal. There's experiments with dogs that they injected with insulin,
