I followed this regimen carefully and my symptoms disappeared in three weeks, actually a little less. Thank you good sir; I am so happy now.
a question please....if he says cut out sugar, fruits, oatmeal, bread, juices and such....what do you eat?....is oatmeal , quinua, rice, bread, bananas, fruits in general...bad?
Agreed!! When you see "your doctor" make sure you PUSH for knowledge NOT drugs. My doctor just the other day tried to encourage me that I possibly might need drugs to lower my blood pressure. My blood pressure is fine!!!! You know your body better than any doctor...get on it!!
@@KnowTrentTimoy Dont' waste your time they know zero about nutrition and healing. I only use dr's for emergencies. And diagnosis.

Thanks Doc. I'm pre - diabetic and I pee all through the night. Sometimes 20 minutes after the last time. I lose a lot of sleep and I feel fatigued alot. I know sugar is part of the problem but you gave me some extra information on what to do and don't do. Much appreciated.
For the last 3 years I have been diagnosed with Interstitial cystitis. I have been on Keto - No sugar and no carbohydrates since August 2019. I have noticed a considerable change in nocturnal urination. I went from 18 times x night to 4-2 x night. I was using so much toilet paper and had to nap during the day. When you get up so many times at night you can't possibly have a good and productive life. As soon as i cut down ALL sugar and ALL carbs, I saw some results. I emptied ALL of my cupboards (non keto items) all at once. The best thing I ever did. God Bless Dr. Berg !
I fixed this problem 10 years ago by avoiding fluoride. Symptoms of fluoride poisoning include polyuria (frequent urination and thirst), constant tiredness, and gum disease (since fluoride is widely consumed in toothpaste). When I quit fluoride toothpaste, these symptoms cleared up in a few days.

I am a 50something year old RN and I approve this message! I also practice this method of eating: a very late breakfast or lunch and another before 6 PM. Lots of healthy fats, vegetables, nuts, eggs, & lean protein. ❤️
Wow I have been type 2 diabetic for about 12 years an no single doctor has explained this so clearly. Many thanks. Hopefully I can now get more sleep as I pee about 15 times every night. I have cut most of what you mentioned out of my diet including fats. I now realise my body needs the good fats.
Worked for me. Cut WAY back on sugars (about two weeks ago) and couldn't figure out why I was no longer getting up in the middle of the night to pee (as I was still drinking the same amount of fluids). Then I stumbled onto this video. Interesting.
I'm doing it, Doc! I can usually make it 6+ hours a nite without having to visit the bathroom. I'm diabetic too (was?). I'm also taking Saw palmetto too to help shrink my prostate. Starting into my 14th week of my Keto/I.F. journey and I'm feeling better at 62 than I did at 55! Shooting to get back to my early 40s energy level! What an exciting health recovery journey!
I don't eat much sugar BUT the culprit for me was grains. I admit, I love them. Sandwiches, rice, corn tortilla chips, etc. I quit all of them and IMMEDIATELY decreased the number of times I peed at night. I was going at least every 2 hours and day or night, whenever I felt the urge to go, it was so intense I didn't know if I could make it to the bathroom in time. Within a week of NO grains the urgency was completely gone and I was sleeping through the night without needing to get up even once. Sleep is so much better now!

I dealt with this for years and no longer experience it. Yes, it can be caused by diabetes but for me it was anxiety related. If your frequent urination is anxiety related then it will go away once you reduce your anxiety, reduce your stress (including reducing stimulants) and learn to under react and even embrace the symptom. Before I realised that it was anxiety I actually used to worry that it was being caused by diabetes, which made my anxiety worse. I think it is definitely wise though to cut out sugar as it is not good for diabetes or anxiety. I learned about fasting on one of your videos though a few years back and boy does fasting make a difference to your anxiety. Keep up the good work :)

Then he gets a shot of insulin because his blood sugar spikes. Ugh... I'm starting to send him Dr. Bergs videos. I hope he watches them..
I was peeing 15 times a night. I had terrible sleep and was getting to be in despair. Three months on keto now, and I only got up 5 times last night. Best sleep I've had in years. So happy with my keto diet. Love it.
6 months ago I was waking every 90-120 minutes to do so. In March I discovered keto and IF, started practicing it, and now I am at a point where I sleep through the whole night without having to urinate; I imagine you too are headed in that direction. Enjoy your health.
I had Type 2 diabetes mellitus from 2000 to 2015, took pills for the first 8 years injected for the last 7. At the turn-of -the century, a LOT of food products became genetically modified and were mass produced in labs, thus making it nearly impossible to maintain a healthy diet. I take OAB pills, and struggle with sugar issues every day. Dr. Berg, I can't thank you enough.
I am so grateful for this video , trying to do keto for 3 weeks now only following your advice but couldn't not the fruits, I have loss 8lbs but the same day I came across this I have no more fruits , the following night my body work me up 3 times and I didn't need to urinate , thank you so much.
Blood sugar problem: 1. Cut all sugar inc. fruits and hidden sugar in foods 2. No snacking between meals 3. Eat less, 2-3 meals and not hungry don’t eat 4. Add more healthy fat to food eg. avocado, peanut butter, cheese etc 5. More potassium eg. from vegetables, avocado 6. Eat more vegetables 7. Try IF (intermittent fasting) 8. Increase B vitamins eg. Nutritional yeast
Try stinging nettle roots in tincture it does miracles, I use to go to the bathroom 3 to 4 times a night now I go once or not at all.Even my family doctor recommend it to is patients 🙏🏻
TOXIC MOLD exposure caused this for my daughter and I. If I recall correctly my doctor said it messes with the ADH and the body’s ability to retain water and hydrate properly.
I Cut down sugar and carbs ( not totally ) and have half a shot of apple cider vinegar in a cup of water, 30 mins before bed. Don't go at all now. Hope that helps. Thank you also to Dr berg as I have been watching for a while.
Number #1 -- I stopped sugar six months ago. I have dropped from 250 to 200 pounds. I drink more water more often during the day. Number #2 -- I drink more water in the 2-3 hours BEFORE I sleep, probably about 24-32 ounces of water. This gives my body the water needed to do it nightly tasks of cleaning the body internally. In the first hour after I awaken I drink 16-24 ounces of water. Result -- I urinate less frequently at night 1-2 times at most. When I do urinate it is a good amount with no strain. I sleep much better with one less hour in bed each night because I am so well-rested.
Suppressed antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is also a symptom of exposure to toxic mold or mold illness also called chronic fatigue syndrome or myelitis encephalopathy
For about 6 months, without fail, I used to wake up to pee after 2 hours of sleep, then after another 3 hours of sleep. I had a heavy cold recently, and I was so tired that I slept all night for a few nights.Since then I never wake up after 2 hours for a pee and only wakeup after about 5 or 6 hours now. I think your brain gets used to the same thing sometimes and repeats a pattern. So there's probably a few reasons why we wake up to pee.
Having a cold can mean the body is curing itself; getting rid of toxins by working up a fever, expelling mucus, etc. Regular daily fasting (16/8 eating window), as well as extended periods assists the body in detoxification; can also be combined with coffee enema, gallbladder/liver cleanse etc. For increased metabolism try adding IBT (Inclined Bed Therapy.)
Myself developed Diabetes Insipidus, because of drinking too much water. Corrected/reset the retention hormone with dry fasting (progressed 24/40/96 hours). Then was still getting up once at night; until IBT (Inclined Bed Therapy)... On inclined bed sleep through 6/7/8 hours - depending on diet previous day.
Thanks Dr. B. I've been sleeping in 1 -2 hour blocks for a couple weeks now. I'm following this guide as tight as I can. I look forward to getting some REAL sleep and reporting my results on this video.
I used to urinate a lot at night, and I think it has something to do with melatonin and all the blue light nowadays, so your body doesn't know when it's night. When I bought a pair of blue light blocker glasses, right away, I noticed I would only urinate once or not at all at night. So that could also be a reason for excessive urination at night. I recommend everyone to try it, you will probably sleep deeper and and have less disturbances at night, because your body actually knows it's night time. The glasses are only 10-20$. So the risk reward is huge.
download f.lux n your compuer...it's free. can also use it for cell phone...it creates an amber glow and gets darker as the hour passes...I try to stay off of computr by 9 pm because any light will affect melatonin production at that point.
If I eat too close to bedtime, I end up getting thirsty, which leads to drinking water, so of course I wake up having to go to the bathroom. I try not to eat anything after about 6 or 7 pm.
i used to drink 2 liters of soda EVERYDAY majority of it at night. I used have to urinate almost immediately have drinking it. 2 months ago i decided to completely remove sugar from my diet and boom! no more peeing 4 times a night.
Dr. Berg, I am so thankful for your time and energy put into these informative and LIFE-SAVING videos. The way you teach is easy to understand. Your voice is so soothing to listen to. I am helping my dad lower his high cholesterol, thanks to your videos! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
As a Type II diabetic I would often get up for or five times a night to pee. Then I went on an extended fast and within a week I was sleeping through the night. After the fast I gradually went back to my old eating pattern, lots of fruit, lots of sugar and after a couple of months I was back to getting up several times a night. Now that I have eliminated sugars, fruits and grains from my diet it is a rare night that I get up to pee. A really good clue about it being s sugar problem was when I wiped down the rim of the toilet with some toilet paper and shreds of it stuck to the very sticky urine. My thought was that when the body has been poisoned it tries every way possible to get rid of the poison. Sweat and urine are two good avenues.
What is best to do, is as you testified: Extended fasting, yet also daily l6/8 eating window or OMAD... According to SCIENCE OF FASTING documentary, there are now fasting clinics in Germany. To reset retention hormone, did myself DRY fasting 24/40/96 hours - breaking fast in between.
Pumpkin Seed Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil!!! Fixed this issue for me, along with my whole family (you know, those of us who were 40 and up or who had given birth to babies and now suffered with 4 trips to pee at night).
Thanks for your suggestion Selena have looked this up and will follow up. Pumpkin Seed Oil Extracted From Cucurbita maxima Improves Urinary Disorder in Human Overactive Bladder Mie Nishimura,1,4 Tatsuya Ohkawara,1,2 Hiroji Sato,3 Hiroshi Takeda,2 and Jun Nishihira1
One other thing which makes you wake up at night to urinate is sleep apnea. There are many people who eat healthy and take care of their fitness and still wake up several times a night to urinate. I had this happen to me to the point where I couldn't function after waking up at least six times a night. Your body tries to signal you when you stop breathing for extended periods of time and in most cases will give you shaking leg syndrome however if this doesn't work it will wake you up to urinate.
Thanks so much Dr. Berg. The truth always rings true. Was about to spend a ton of money on a urologist. Thought I was eating healthy. I was wrong. Sugar in everything.
I'm diabetic type 2 and my numbers are usually very good. Occasionally it goes over 200 but averages around 100. But, I do have a bone to pick with you Dr. Berg- easier said than done. You tell us to cut all sugars and have only 2 meals and add high potassium. I have been trying for a week to cut my sugars and eat the way you recommended but, I find that I'm ravished. My potassium in my blood is 5.0 and I was told to NOT eat things with high potassium that it will effect my kidneys. Please advise those of us who are ALREADY diabetics how to change without endangering our lives. Thank you.
My A1C was normal, I usually only eat one or two meals a day, I don't do low fat, no fat, anything unless that's all I can get. I prefer full fat everything, whole organic milk with D3, whole milk plain yogurt, Greek yogurt, all organic, I could eat an entire can of ripe olives, non GMO, my smoothies are whole milk plain yogurt unsweetened if I can get it, 100 gms spinach, 1 or 2 tablespoons organic peanut butter, almond milk unsweetened plain or vanilla extract added, some organic ground flaxseed, collagen powder, organic, plus about a cup and half organic berries, blueberries, strawberries, plus 1 whole organic banana. I may have left something out. I try not to drink a lot of liquids in the evening because I will be up and down at least 3 to sometimes 4, 5, times until I just give up and just get up around 5am!!! What do you recommend? I think I might need B vitamins, potassium, and K2. I study nutrition for a hobby! 🤣❤ and maybe Zinc and Magnesium, otherwise I am overall pretty healthy, have mobility issues, and something else I do not wish to discuss here in this open dialogue. I reduced my coffee consumption to only one cup and added herbal organic teas. I've pretty much switched to organic light maple syrup or organic stevia for sweetener and sometimes organic honey. What do you think doc? I also eat mostly organic vegetables and lots of leafy greens plus I love eggs, organic pastured chicks. Veggies high in protein. Like bean, legumes, chickpeas, organic tomatoes. Etc.
In my experience with this, the cause is either frequent UTIs or your kidneys are struggling. To kill the UTIs you can buy strong cranberry pills and drink it with Olive leaf extract on an empty stomach for 3 days in the morning. This will help kill that. I just wanted to share with y'all my experience. Hope this helps
Damn! I cannot believe how right you were. I did what you said (focused on the insulin issue --- cut out sugar). A week later. All corrected. In 50 years... never even heard the term "Diabetes Millitus". Thanks Doc.
Thank you, Dr Eric, for meal times of 12 and 6. I am aiming for that, but eating at 12 is a struggle for me sometimes. I hope that will change for 2021! 😊 And the next time I have frequent urination early in the morning, I will think about this video.
This post of mine will help someone... For two years i had frequent urination, burning urine, burning anus and bloating. Im a 42 year old male. Had bloods taken and urine tests done, all came back healthy. My posture was poor, head forward and rounded shoulders. I realised when i did two certain exercises and corrected my posture the symptoms immediately improved... Im happy to say i dont have any burning and back to normal in one day! Will continue with the exercises. Who would have thought posture can cause so much distress.
You explain things so clearly. So easy to understand. So glad to have found your channel. Keep the information coming. I have severe osteoarthritis in right knee. Thank you so much!
I discovered this by accident and this explanation helped me because I thought I was doing something wrong in my keto diet. Thanks! I have been getting better (and uninterrupted sleep) for the past 2 weeks without the need to get up 2 or more times to pee. I have been using a little LoSalt everytime I use Sea Salt to help increase my potassium. And the ankle swelling at night is also gone. This is the best channel!
Interesting... High dose Iodine and /or sea kelp is suggested in case of frequent urination as result of metal toxicity, since Selenium (needed to activate T4 - T3 in liver) binds to metals.
Yes you hit the nail on the head, I have type 2 diabetes, I drink a lot of ice water, at night is really when the water cravings kick in then most of the night I'm up drinking ice water, then urinating up to 7 or 8 times, so now I get what's going on with my body, such a good video, and info, thank you.
@1EccentricMoFo WHAT THE HEALTH unfortunately is unbalanced, veganist, animal rights propaganda. The starvation Vegan diet is nothing more than a form of fasting - good for a period of cleansing. Therefore it may turn around Diabetes. However, during re-feeding we also need healthy animal protien and fats in order to sustain our brain and nervous system, produce hormones, maintain immunity, etc.
To reset the retention hormone and filtration of kidneys: Try DRY fasting; I did for 24/40/96 hours with breaking the fast in between. Then was still going once a night; rectified with IBT (Inclined Bed Therapy). Now - with drinking to thirst - sleep through 6-8 hours; depending on previous day's diet.
Thanks for these vids - much appreciated! Dr Berg can I ask you say something about using cream of tartar to increase potassium levels please? Particularly is it valuable and how would one know how much to add? Thanks in advance !
Thank you, Dr. Berg! Sugar, salt, greasy foods are the main major contributions to all types of serious diseases. Getting healthy is tough nowadays with all the convenience of variety of quick, fast foods, all are readily available at our fingertips, literally.
I'm vegan, so I do eat grains and legumes which are high carb, I could change the type of fruit I eat to just berries and cut out soy milk, which I know has added sugar. I usually eat between 12 midday and 7pm, 2 meals, lots of vegetables. Waking at least twice a night to go to the bathroom, I'll give reducing my sugar levels a go. Thankyou Dr Berg 😊

I was peeing 15 times a night. I had terrible sleep and was getting to be in despair. Three months on keto now, and I only got up 5 times last night. Best sleep I've had in years. So happy with my keto diet. Love it.
6 months ago I was waking every 90-120 minutes to do so. In March I discovered keto and IF, started practicing it, and now I am at a point where I sleep through the whole night without having to urinate; I imagine you too are headed in that direction. Enjoy your health.
@@jgregorygraves5792 what type of food do u eat? If u are on keto
Sleep apnea, go do a sleep study.

I had Type 2 diabetes mellitus from 2000 to 2015, took pills for the first 8 years injected for the last 7. At the turn-of -the century, a LOT of food products became genetically modified and were mass produced in labs, thus making it nearly impossible to maintain a healthy diet. I take OAB pills, and struggle with sugar issues every day. Dr. Berg, I can't thank you enough.
I am so grateful for this video , trying to do keto for 3 weeks now only following your advice but couldn't not the fruits, I have loss 8lbs but the same day I came across this I have no more fruits , the following night my body work me up 3 times and I didn't need to urinate , thank you so much.
Blood sugar problem:
1. Cut all sugar inc. fruits and hidden sugar in foods
2. No snacking between meals
3. Eat less, 2-3 meals and not hungry don’t eat
4. Add more healthy fat to food eg. avocado, peanut butter, cheese etc
5. More potassium eg. from vegetables, avocado
6. Eat more vegetables
7. Try IF (intermittent fasting)
8. Increase B vitamins eg. Nutritional yeast
I’m doing all of this and I’m still having the issue. 😢. Maybe it takes months to fix.
Try stinging nettle roots in tincture it does miracles, I use to go to the bathroom 3 to 4 times a night now I go once or not at all.Even my family doctor recommend it to is patients 🙏🏻
Where do get nettle roots
@@PatCline CVS or Walgreens or whole foods or vitamin shoppe.
@@PatCline go and get the real STINNING nettle I get it by the ravine and boil it and drink IT REALLY HELPED me
I tried it. It didn’t work.
The capsules didn't work for me. Where do I buy the tincture?
TOXIC MOLD exposure caused this for my daughter and I. If I recall correctly my doctor said it messes with the ADH and the body’s ability to retain water and hydrate properly.
I Cut down sugar and carbs ( not totally ) and have half a shot of apple cider vinegar in a cup of water, 30 mins before bed. Don't go at all now. Hope that helps. Thank you also to Dr berg as I have been watching for a while.
How much is a half a shot❓👍🏻thank you ‼️

Thank you for replying 👍🏻
When he said “craving cold water/ice water” my jaw dropped.
Lucky me for now, I’m only getting up once a night.
Dr Berg, you've greatly improved my life, thank you so much for the education(s)
Number #1 -- I stopped sugar six months ago. I have dropped from 250 to 200 pounds.
I drink more water more often during the day.
Number #2 -- I drink more water in the 2-3 hours BEFORE I sleep, probably about 24-32 ounces of water.
This gives my body the water needed to do it nightly tasks of cleaning the body internally.
In the first hour after I awaken I drink 16-24 ounces of water.
Result -- I urinate less frequently at night 1-2 times at most. When I do urinate it is a good amount with no strain.
I sleep much better with one less hour in bed each night because I am so well-rested.
I cant believe how much this channel has helped me, thank you Dr Berg!
Suppressed antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is also a symptom of exposure to toxic mold or mold illness also called chronic fatigue syndrome or myelitis encephalopathy
For about 6 months, without fail, I used to wake up to pee after 2 hours of sleep, then after another 3 hours of sleep. I had a heavy cold recently, and I was so tired that I slept all night for a few nights.Since then I never wake up after 2 hours for a pee and only wakeup after about 5 or 6 hours now. I think your brain gets used to the same thing sometimes and repeats a pattern. So there's probably a few reasons why we wake up to pee.
Having a cold can mean the body is curing itself; getting rid of toxins by working up a fever, expelling mucus, etc.
Regular daily fasting (16/8 eating window), as well as extended periods assists the body in detoxification; can also be combined with coffee enema, gallbladder/liver cleanse etc.
For increased metabolism try adding IBT (Inclined Bed Therapy.)
@@maricamaas5555 A cold is a viral infection. But seeing as you've recommended Enema's and 'cleanse's, thankfully I was already ignoring your advice.
@@maricamaas5555 l
That's true. Brain gets used to the pattern, and starts repeating. Till you break the habit.
I agree with no processed foods and no sugar whole fruit at a minimum
I love your calm voice and sensible explanations and giving hope for improving our health.

Its been a blessing 🙌🙏
Thank you Dr. Berg
What time do you take?
What time?and do you use carbohydrate nd sugar?plz reply
Myself developed Diabetes Insipidus, because of drinking too much water. Corrected/reset the retention hormone with dry fasting (progressed 24/40/96 hours). Then was still getting up once at night; until IBT (Inclined Bed Therapy)... On inclined bed sleep through 6/7/8 hours - depending on diet previous day.
thank you so much. So sick of getting up three times a night. I love you to pieces.
Wow! What a great video I had no idea that sugar played such a huge role and that prediabetes was even an issue! Thank you so much
Dr. Berg, I'm so grateful to you. Really...
Thanks Dr. B. I've been sleeping in 1 -2 hour blocks for a couple weeks now. I'm following this guide as tight as I can. I look forward to getting some REAL sleep and reporting my results on this video.
How did it work out for you? I'm thinking about doing this
Dr Berg is like a Japanese dr . Its about keeping you healthy . 🙏.
#1 Doctor in the World. My Dr for 12 years already!
Because of this great man my insuling reading numbers from 288 now less than 100 no medicatins with keto diet thank you
Thank Dr.Berg am happy to have you l learn a lot of your videos❤️
I used to urinate a lot at night, and I think it has something to do with melatonin and all the blue light nowadays, so your body doesn't know when it's night. When I bought a pair of blue light blocker glasses, right away, I noticed I would only urinate once or not at all at night. So that could also be a reason for excessive urination at night. I recommend everyone to try it, you will probably sleep deeper and and have less disturbances at night, because your body actually knows it's night time. The glasses are only 10-20$. So the risk reward is huge.
You can also get blue light reduction apps for your phone, tablet or laptop for free. I use Twilight and it's great :-)
when do you put them on?
I try to put them on at least 1-2 hours before sleep. 2 hours seems to work better.
Or u can turn off your lights when it starts to get dark.
download f.lux n your compuer...it's free. can also use it for cell phone...it creates an amber glow and gets darker as the hour passes...I try to stay off of computr by 9 pm because any light will affect melatonin production at that point.
I love you. This talk helps me in so many ways, thank you.
I'm so grateful for this video this is more than an eye opener is a mind, body and hope opener! Thank you Dr. Berg.
I used to wake up frequently to urinate while sleeping, I improved it by doing Kegel exercises.
It does work. I started with this and after a few days noticed a difference already.
If I eat too close to bedtime, I end up getting thirsty, which leads to drinking water, so of course I wake up having to go to the bathroom. I try not to eat anything after about 6 or 7 pm.
i used to drink 2 liters of soda EVERYDAY majority of it at night. I used have to urinate almost immediately have drinking it. 2 months ago i decided to completely remove sugar from my diet and boom! no more peeing 4 times a night.
So many great videos-watching your older videos is very helpful
Thank you, I have this problem all my life, I have been in keto for 7 weeks no different yet ,but not giving up. 🙏
Dr. Berg, I am so thankful for your time and energy put into these informative and LIFE-SAVING videos. The way you teach is easy to understand. Your voice is so soothing to listen to. I am helping my dad lower his high cholesterol, thanks to your videos! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
As a Type II diabetic I would often get up for or five times a night to pee. Then I went on an extended fast and within a week I was sleeping through the night. After the fast I gradually went back to my old eating pattern, lots of fruit, lots of sugar and after a couple of months I was back to getting up several times a night. Now that I have eliminated sugars, fruits and grains from my diet it is a rare night that I get up to pee. A really good clue about it being s sugar problem was when I wiped down the rim of the toilet with some toilet paper and shreds of it stuck to the very sticky urine. My thought was that when the body has been poisoned it tries every way possible to get rid of the poison. Sweat and urine are two good avenues.
I did exactly what you did. My A1C Is 4.9....insulin is 2.9......i eat two meals a day high fat and still get up 4 times a night.
@@robrae14
Try adding IBT (Inclined Bed Therapy)
What is best to do, is as you testified: Extended fasting, yet also daily l6/8 eating window or OMAD... According to SCIENCE OF FASTING documentary, there are now fasting clinics in Germany.
To reset retention hormone, did myself DRY fasting 24/40/96 hours - breaking fast in between.
You are so Healthy to me...I mean what you talk about and in the manner that you speak is Healthy to me. Thank you very much for helping me.
Dr Berg, How about the minerals Chrominum and Vanadium that diabetics need to control sugar levels?
Maurice Samimi do you mean vanadlyn sulfate

I would be grateful for your suggestions on fixing chronic constipation.
One other thing which makes you wake up at night to urinate is sleep apnea. There are many people who eat healthy and take care of their fitness and still wake up several times a night to urinate. I had this happen to me to the point where I couldn't function after waking up at least six times a night. Your body tries to signal you when you stop breathing for extended periods of time and in most cases will give you shaking leg syndrome however if this doesn't work it will wake you up to urinate.
Thank You Dr. Berg for all the good information you are giving us !
you are such a nice doctor and so generous. you are explaining patiently some informations and impt.facts about health.thanks for this video
Ive been getting up at night for years. From today i am going to do this. Will keep u informed. Thank you.
How’s it going?
How's it going so far?
Thanks so much Dr. Berg. The truth always rings true. Was about to spend a ton of money on a urologist. Thought I was eating healthy. I was wrong. Sugar in everything.
You’re truly amazing, Dr. Berg. So appreciate you.
I'm diabetic type 2 and my numbers are usually very good. Occasionally it goes over 200 but averages around 100. But, I do have a bone to pick with you Dr. Berg- easier said than done. You tell us to cut all sugars and have only 2 meals and add high potassium. I have been trying for a week to cut my sugars and eat the way you recommended but, I find that I'm ravished. My potassium in my blood is 5.0 and I was told to NOT eat things with high potassium that it will effect my kidneys. Please advise those of us who are ALREADY diabetics how to change without endangering our lives. Thank you.
I think the good doctor would say that if one is still famished, they can eat more fats, like avocados.
You have to increase good fats as the body will switch to burning fats for energy of carbohydrates are not available
Hehe you forgot to tell don't drink 1 liter of water before going to bed :)
That implies that we shouldn't drink 2 liters of water before bed.
Drinking sleepy time herb tea at bedtime assures you wake up in 4 hours....lol
@@lyndamedley4789 Make that one hour.
If you don't drink any water at all...you won't urinate
My A1C was normal, I usually only eat one or two meals a day, I don't do low fat, no fat, anything unless that's all I can get. I prefer full fat everything, whole organic milk with D3, whole milk plain yogurt, Greek yogurt, all organic, I could eat an entire can of ripe olives, non GMO, my smoothies are whole milk plain yogurt unsweetened if I can get it, 100 gms spinach, 1 or 2 tablespoons organic peanut butter, almond milk unsweetened plain or vanilla extract added, some organic ground flaxseed, collagen powder, organic, plus about a cup and half organic berries, blueberries, strawberries, plus 1 whole organic banana. I may have left something out. I try not to drink a lot of liquids in the evening because I will be up and down at least 3 to sometimes 4, 5, times until I just give up and just get up around 5am!!! What do you recommend? I think I might need B vitamins, potassium, and K2. I study nutrition for a hobby! 🤣❤ and maybe Zinc and Magnesium, otherwise I am overall pretty healthy, have mobility issues, and something else I do not wish to discuss here in this open dialogue. I reduced my coffee consumption to only one cup and added herbal organic teas. I've pretty much switched to organic light maple syrup or organic stevia for sweetener and sometimes organic honey. What do you think doc? I also eat mostly organic vegetables and lots of leafy greens plus I love eggs, organic pastured chicks. Veggies high in protein. Like bean, legumes, chickpeas, organic tomatoes. Etc.
Wow Dr....you are awesome! This is me, I’m not diabetic but I’m insulin resistant. Thank you for educating us! God bless you!
I removed sugar from my diet years ago. Unfortunately, a few years later, I added sugar back. I am going to do it again. I was so much healthier!
You got this!

In my experience with this, the cause is either frequent UTIs or your kidneys are struggling. To kill the UTIs you can buy strong cranberry pills and drink it with Olive leaf extract on an empty stomach for 3 days in the morning. This will help kill that. I just wanted to share with y'all my experience. Hope this helps
I love this Dr. I wish I could give him a hug. He is a REAL doctor!!
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY
so thankful for this channel
Bottle it for your garden soil/compost pile AND save 5 GALLONS of WATER per flush of 1/2 cup of NPK-rich plant gold nutrients.
Thank you for having one of the most informative channels.
Thank you Dr.I Am so discouraged with my peeing at night!!!
God bless you
Damn! I cannot believe how right you were. I did what you said (focused on the insulin issue --- cut out sugar). A week later. All corrected. In 50 years... never even heard the term "Diabetes Millitus". Thanks Doc.
Were you getting up to pee at night too? Did you fix the problem? Thank you
Thank you, Dr Eric, for meal times of 12 and 6. I am aiming for that, but eating at 12 is a struggle for me sometimes. I hope that will change for 2021! 😊 And the next time I have frequent urination early in the morning, I will think about this video.
This post of mine will help someone... For two years i had frequent urination, burning urine, burning anus and bloating. Im a 42 year old male. Had bloods taken and urine tests done, all came back healthy. My posture was poor, head forward and rounded shoulders. I realised when i did two certain exercises and corrected my posture the symptoms immediately improved... Im happy to say i dont have any burning and back to normal in one day! Will continue with the exercises. Who would have thought posture can cause so much distress.
Thank you, i am 42 and have been going through this for the past 4 weeks.
You explain things so clearly. So easy to understand. So glad to have found your channel. Keep the information coming. I have severe osteoarthritis in right knee. Thank you so much!
Everytime I feel something bad with my body, Dr. Eric Berg comes to rescue with a video of exactly what I need.
"Keep it on this channel."
-my 6yr old daughter
Lol 😂
cute!
Sweet! Out of the mouth of babes.
I discovered this by accident and this explanation helped me because I thought I was doing something wrong in my keto diet. Thanks! I have been getting better (and uninterrupted sleep) for the past 2 weeks without the need to get up 2 or more times to pee. I have been using a little LoSalt everytime I use Sea Salt to help increase my potassium. And the ankle swelling at night is also gone. This is the best channel!
I find that taking Lugol's iodine helps considerably. 3 drops 15% Lugol's iodine in warm water first thing in the morning.
Interesting... High dose Iodine and /or sea kelp is suggested in case of frequent urination as result of metal toxicity, since Selenium (needed to activate T4 - T3 in liver) binds to metals.
Yes you hit the nail on the head, I have type 2 diabetes, I drink a lot of ice water, at night is really when the water cravings kick in then most of the night I'm up drinking ice water, then urinating up to 7 or 8 times, so now I get what's going on with my body, such a good video, and info, thank you.
@1EccentricMoFo
WHAT THE HEALTH unfortunately is unbalanced, veganist, animal rights propaganda. The starvation Vegan diet is nothing more than a form of fasting - good for a period of cleansing. Therefore it may turn around Diabetes.
However, during re-feeding we also need healthy animal protien and fats in order to sustain our brain and nervous system, produce hormones, maintain immunity, etc.
To reset the retention hormone and filtration of kidneys: Try DRY fasting; I did for 24/40/96 hours with breaking the fast in between.
Then was still going once a night; rectified with IBT (Inclined Bed Therapy). Now - with drinking to thirst - sleep through 6-8 hours; depending on previous day's diet.
Thanks for these vids - much appreciated! Dr Berg can I ask you say something about using cream of tartar to increase potassium levels please? Particularly is it valuable and how would one know how much to add? Thanks in advance !
I gave up sugar and carbs one month ago and it's really a drug I literally have to fight the eage
Thank you, Dr. Berg!
Sugar, salt, greasy foods are the main major contributions to all types of serious diseases. Getting healthy is tough nowadays with all the convenience of variety of quick, fast foods, all are readily available at our fingertips, literally.
I'm vegan, so I do eat grains and legumes which are high carb, I could change the type of fruit I eat to just berries and cut out soy milk, which I know has added sugar. I usually eat between 12 midday and 7pm, 2 meals, lots of vegetables. Waking at least twice a night to go to the bathroom, I'll give reducing my sugar levels a go. Thankyou Dr Berg 😊
