so you’re getting up several times of the night having a urinate this video is for

you now this is mainly for men but if you’re female definitely applies to you

but just ignore the part when I talk about the prostate the first thing that

you need to understand is the mechanism behind this condition okay and it’s so

easy to fix you should not have to get up several times a night it’s completely

unnecessary and if you do what I’m going to show you you’re gonna be able to

sleep the whole night and not have to get up at all okay the mechanism what

happens is the bladder has smooth muscle around it okay it has a muscle that

contracts and relaxes this particular problem is a situation we are not able

to eliminate all of the urine the tone or the muscle tone of the bladder is not

fully contracting to eliminate all the urine it contracts partially but there’s

urine that’s still in the bladder that within one to two hours later it’s gonna

activate a sensor that tell you to get up and eliminate that small amount of

urine and it just keeps going on and on and on so it’s not really a problem with

the muscle it’s the problem with the nerve that connects to the muscle it’s a

problem with the sympathetic nervous system now real quick and this is

important the sympathetic nervous system is normally considered a flight or fight

stress situation right and the parasympathetic nervous system is all

about rest and digest so when you’re resting you’re under the parasympathetic

control okay and it just so happens that the smooth muscle that causes

contraction of the bladder is underneath the parasympathetic now let me just

clarify what I’m why I’m bringing it up because you would think that the

contraction that muscle would be under the sympathetic yeah but it’s not it’s

under the parasympathetic because when you urinate you can’t actually be in a

stress State okay you’re not it’s gonna be very hard to eliminate you have to be

fully relaxed and calm to eliminate that urine from the bladder and when that

bladder fills up okay and it has a normal tone that’s under

the sympathetic nervous system so regarding the bladder when you have too

much sympathetic okay we just don’t we don’t get the contraction anymore we

can’t fully contract and eliminate all that urine so this problem really is a

sympathetic dominant problem and it’s caused by too much insulin insulin

triggers a sympathetic nervous system okay and activates it and that’s really

behind this urination problem insulin enlarges the

prostate and many times people think it’s the enlargement of the prostate

that’s causing all the problem but it’s not because when men have their prostate

removed many times they still have the bladder problem it can be part of the

problem because the prostate is just underneath the bladder and if it

enlarges it can obstruct this little tube that the urine actually is coming

out to this tube right through here and one of the medications they use to try

to help this problem or manage it it’s called an alpha blocker okay

alpha blockers target the sympathetic nervous system now whether you have any

of these symptoms difficulty urinating straining incomplete elimination of the

urine in the bladder or dribbling what you need to do is lower insulin what

causes high insulin insulin resistance I just have to explain this I’ll try to

explain to some very simple terms insulin is a hormone that lowers blood

sugars insulin goes into receptors in the cell the body does not like to have

too much insulin it likes to have normal insulin if there’s too much insulin over

a period of time it will protect itself by creating blockage within the receptor

it’s called insulin resistance so insulin resistance is a protective

mechanism against excessive amounts of insulin here’s the problem inside that

cell there’s like a thermostat if it detects low insulin it sends a signal to

the pancreas tell the pancreas to make more insulin if you

have instant resistance you have between five to seven times more insulin than a

normal person all that excess insulin is going to create this problem okay loss

of tone in your bladder and enlargement in the prostate so now the question is

what do we do about it what you do is you lower insulin by cutting down the

carbohydrates that you’re eating and the sugars if you’re doing candy through the

day if you’re doing any type of popcorn sugar you need to get that out of the

diet now I do have a link down below that I highly recommend that you click

so you can learn how to do this it’s called healthy keto but what’s even more

important is fasting intermittent fasting why because fasting decreases the

sympathetic nervous system it fixes sympathetic dominance it’s a very very

powerful tool in fact I don’t even think the lowering of carbohydrates will be

enough to fix this problem but the combination is going to be very powerful

but you of course you don’t want to do in a minute fasting without lowering

your carbs either you want to do both of them so how do you do fasting very

simply you don’t eat if you’re not hungry in the morning if you’re not

hungry you don’t eat normally people eat in the morning they either breakfast

they think it’s the most important meal of the day that’s false information when

you get up you try to go as long as possible without eating if you’re not

hungry don’t eat so most people can actually

when they start out have their first meal let’s say 11 o’clock in the morning

okay if your first meal and in the link down below I’ll tell you exactly what to

eat so just check that out okay you can you can download that whole program the

check your first meal and then you go all the way to maybe six or maybe seven

o’clock and have your second meal okay you have two meals a day the key is

don’t snack you can’t snack why because every time

you eat you increase insulin so it’s not just about the carbohydrates

it’s also about the frequency of eating so this is step one do this for maybe a

few days or a week okay and then you graduate to stage two which is basically

gonna push your first meal full word as long as you can

two maybe three thirty okay 3:30 or 4:00 that would be the ideal situation your

first meal 3:30 4:00 o’clock now when you do this initially you’re gonna feel

like oh my gosh I’m eating less times a day am I gonna starve the whole thing

everyone goes through that it’s not going to be a problem you can have a big

meal it’s not about calories if you have that first meal and then the second meal

you you’re probably not going to be hungry but maybe in the first day or so

that you’re doing this you’ll have a second meal maybe a few hours later so

you have these two meals and then you don’t eat but what’s gonna happen when

you do this really big meal later in the day like this you are not going to be

hungry from this point on okay now it’d be great if you could just stop beating

from that point on and just do one meal a day because not only will you fix this

bladder problem but you’ll actually get rid of the any type of extra fat in your

stomach that would be perfect but some people I know this is hard to believe do

have a problem snacking at night they have to eat something at night so for

those people I suggest you have this first meal at 3:30 or 4:00 okay make it

big and then as your second meal do it make it as a snack pistachios not

popcorn pistachios okay that could be your second meal have some of those even

at 7 or 8 o’clock so you’re doing basically one and a half meals okay and

that would be your pattern of eating that way you wouldn’t feel like you

would have to give up something it would make it a lot easier ideally and be

great if you didn’t have to do that but if you had to do that and then let’s say
