hey guys dr. Berg here in this video I

want to share with you how to handle

excess urination at night okay so let me

give you a little background first

there’s two conditions I’m going to talk

about one is diabetes insipidus which is

a good type of diabetes which blocks a

certain hormone okay which causes you to

dump all your fluids so this type of

diabetes is a person that’s craving a

lot of cold water like ice water they’re

just dumping tons of water they’re

craving it and it’s going right through

so they’re peeing a tremendous amount

okay that’s the two big symptoms with

this condition right here because that

condition blocks a hormone that is

controlling the retention of urine or

fluid in your body so there’s a hormone

called antidiuretic hormone that’s

supposed to hold the water and this

condition blocks that hormone so you

dump all the fluid okay

thus the relationship between diabetes

and your nation okay there’s another

condition called diabetes mellitus

different situation that’s a high sugar

in the blood okay so high sugar in the

blood what happens it spills over into

the kidney and into your urine and

wherever the sugar goes the water goes

so water follows sugar okay so you’re

going to pee more with this because

you’re going to have more sugar in the

year end okay same thing with the if you

not a diabetic whatever and you actually

crave sugar and you eat sugar you’re

going to hold a lot of fluid it’s water

retention so just realize that wherever

the sugar goes water will go - okay now

there’s a whole bunch of pre-diabetic

states so I’m not saying that this is

just for diabetics there is a gradient

scale from hardcore diabetes all over

here to a pre-diabetic situation so it

happens one step at a time so many

people have pre-diabetes and they don’t

even know it and it happens gradually

over time so there’s a condition called

insulin resistance that’s a pre-diabetic

State and that’s just a problem with

insulin that person is going to

eventually turn into a diabetic so

there’s an incident issue as well so

they’re going to tend to have a problem

with fluids in general

and I found that if you can correct that

pre-diabetic situation you can greatly

help someone’s urination problem at

night okay so even the derivation of the

word diabetes comes from the word that

describes urine passing out through a

siphon or a tube so it’s basically the

word even comes from too much urination

just coming out of your body which is

interesting okay there are six things

you need to do number one cut out the

sugar so you have to start reading

labels read the labels and if it has

even one gram of sugar try to get it to

zero grams of sugar or less than one

gram that includes cutting out the

fruits the juices the alcohol the hidden

sugars in the grains like the breads

pasta cereal crackers you need to cut

that out okay why because that’s going

to aggravate the problem with insulin

okay

so just start cutting it up alright so

then number two no snacking between

meals why because even if they’re

healthy snacking does increase insulin

what we want to do is we want to lower

the insulin okay because people with a

pre-diabetic have a resting insulin of

five to seven times greater than a

normal person okay no snacking so so if

you’re not snacking and you’re hungry

you want to jump up to number four which

is more fat so you want to add more fat

with a meal fat is the only thing that

will not trigger insulin too much so it

kind of keeps insulin down so you can a

breach ease you can have peanut butter

avocado olives coconut oil some type of

fatty healthy fatty thing that will

actually allow you to go longer because

if you try to do this on a low-fat diet

you’re going to be craving stuff you’re

going to be so hungry you’re going to

need a snack okay less meals so if

you’re not hungry in the morning skip it

skip the meal and just do two males one

at 12 and when it’s said six six o’clock

okay and then use add more fat to adjust

that all right next one five more

potassium foods that would

more large vegetables okay we want big

salads you can’t eat the meat with the

salad you can have a shake with blended

like a kale shake if you want I have

videos on that but we need more

potassium why because potassium

decreases the need for insulin all right

and then lastly more B vitamins B

vitamins also decrease the need for

insulin so actually these two are really

important don’t get the synthetic

version get some non fortified

nutritional yeast from the health of

store ok or at amazon.com make sure it’s

non fortified take a tablespoon of

nutritional yeast it’s going to be very

very important to do this so number one

cut out the sugar no snacks between

meals less meals like two meals maybe

three but no snacks between more fat

with the meal more potassium foods

vegetables avocados more B vitamins okay

from nutritional yeast if you did if

then average diabetic or pre-diabetic

did these things right here you would

see huge changes these are the most

important things and you just need to

try this for like two weeks and prove it

to yourself that it’ll work because if

you’re not getting up at night urinate

urinating just think about what your

sleep is going to be like okay and your

energy is going to be like getting up

every hour and the hour is a is a

nightmare and I will guarantee that the

people that have your nation problems at

night that I mean I’ve seen it so much

like and I can guarantee that you’re

going to see a 1:1 relationship they

have a blood sugar issue they’re always

doing something they’re eating eating a

little bit too much sugar doing too much

alcohol snacking grazing at night have

many too many meals the meals are too

big sometimes doing low fat they’re not

doing enough vegetables okay so I hope

that helped and I will see you in the

next video
