In this video, we’re going to look at the causes of nocturia and the best natural solutions. Nocturia is the urge to urinate at night when you should be sleeping, and it can interfere with your ability to get a good night’s sleep.
Nocturia is usually said to be caused by a bladder infection, a kidney infection, prostate issues, or aging.
People with nocturia are not typically urinating a full bladder of urine. This means there must be an issue with the sensors in the bladder or the valve of the bladder.
If there’s too much sugar in the blood, a phenomenon known as osmotic diuresis can occur. This causes excess sugar and water to be excreted, which is why diabetics and people who are obese are at an increased risk for nocturia. If you have sleep apnea, you are also at an increased risk for nocturia.
Insulin resistance is the leading cause of obesity, diabetes, and sleep apnea, all of which lead to nocturia. Research has shown that insulin resistance itself can cause nocturia.
The best way to address nocturia is to fix insulin resistance. To do this, stop snacking at night and work towards eliminating snacking altogether. Cut down your carb intake to less than 30 grams per day and do intermittent fasting. To speed things up, try consuming one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before meals and exercise regularly.

Thanks for watching! I hope you’ll try these tips to help combat insulin resistance and get rid of nocturia. I’ll see you in the next video.
I remember awhile back you mentioned cutting carbs and sugar could help this situation and it is so true for me plus my health keeps getting better! Thanks!
I eat a good handful of dried unsweetened cranberries in my salad every day. That took care of it for me. I’m 60yo and on no medications whatsoever for anything anymore. Sleep apnea and nocturia are a thing of the distant past for me. P.S. I eat clean low carb, high protein, moderate good fats and lift weights 5 days a week also. Lost over 145lbs. The key is stay consistent, don’t deviate. The only workouts I’ve ever regretted is ones I skipped and that was only a couple times in the last 1 1/2 years
All from just eating some unsweetened cranberries???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fascinating and such a thorough description of the problem. I have high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes T2, and sleep apnea – use a CPAP — and I was getting up several times a night to pee. I have been using mouth tape for about two weeks and now sleep through the night and wake up more refreshed. I am also taking supplements for my nervous system and reducing sugar of course. Love Dr Berg’s videos – share them often and definitely sending this one out asap.
How do you use mouth tape? I have the same problems(hbp,T2diabetes, sleep apnea…).Thank you for sharing❤
What you taking for nervous system
I was on the wrong side of the border of diabetes and early prostate cancer until I ment Dr. Berg online and followed his recipe to fight sugar in my diet. After only 3 months of following his diet advice, I had a PSA of 3 and blood sugar of 5. It is rare for me to take any advil or antihistamines. I am amazed every day.
Would like to know as well.@@Ultra_Marathoner
@@martylou6194 I’m taking a good few of his supplements
I love the way Dr. Berg delivers his message in a kind and calm manner.
Not like an Islamist fanatic xD
Yes, he has the gentle demeanor of many chiropractors.❤
For quick relief start with 0 sugar after 6pm, or 5 hours before sleep time, also, start supplementing Stinging Nettle, roor or whole freeze dried plant, and empty your bladder before you go horizontal.
After a couple good nights sleeps, hopefully you will understand that this guy Dr Berg knows what he is talking about. So, you should then be ready to start the healthy keto plan with OMAD and intermittent fasting to get on a total body health and rejuvenation plan.
Another sensible, groundbreaking approach. You are light years ahead of the “medical” crowds.
I used to have to get up three times a night to go to the bathroom until I cut out all alcohol from my life. Now, I sleep like a baby all night long and it feels great! It only took my body a bit over a week to get that far after years of that issue.
Drinking alcohol especially a abundance of it makes sense.
This video couldnt be more on time. My problem had gotten so bad that I would literally feel like I have to pee and that would cause to me not to fall in deep sleep. It all started from last year when id just keep on thinking and to stop myself from thinking Id go to the bathroom. That habit has caused me to not sleep at all cz my brain’s like “no not yet you might have to pee”. Minimizimg anxiety is the key cz once i Fall in deep sleep earlier i sleep well.
It’s not just an age issue, some kids are affected by waking up at night to pee or they will wet their bed. I knew of a friends granddaughter who had that problem and she had to get up with her in the middle of the night to assist her to the bathroom. The mom was a late night junk food eater and the environment was stressful. Doctors had no answers but now I believe that a child’s eating habits and eating window is also important along with that sympathetic nervous system. Maybe some type of anxiety reaction too since children are getting used to their circadian rhythm. One night, the grandma fell in the bathroom while assisting her granddaughter and she called me to take her to the emergency room. She injured her arm. So, the timing of eating and what we eat matters.
Wow, that’s really sad. It’s hard to even have a conversation with someone about late night eating, they get super defensive. Prayed for your friend 😊God bless you
Gentlemen, especially those over 50. If you are getting up frequently at night to urinate and feel like your bladder does not fully empty get a PSA test immediately and consult your medical practitioner. I was fully keto since Feb 2023 and lost 30kgs, BP and blood glucose all normal. August 2023 and I was urinating 3-4 times a night . Consultation with a Urologist in Oct 2023 revealed Stage 4 Prostate Cancer, metastasized to upper skeleton and one lymph node in my pelvis. Any change in flow, quantity, frequency (day and night) get to a doctor. Don’t be me.
Will say a pray for you. Hoping you are doing better.
I just prayed for you…Please, if you don’t know Jesus….know him today…
Thanks for sharing your story and advice Mark. My thoughts are with you today – I hope treatment is beginning and you are staying strong!
Fenugreek is pretty good
Yea I should REALLY see a doctor. My hypertension has nearly killed me twice. However I cant trust the lab coats not to jab me with something or stuff me with pills.
What neither a Urologist nor Oncologist could do to help me, Dr. Berg did in a few videos and changing my diet. I used to have to plan car trips around rest stops and fast food restaurants with public bathrooms along the way.
What I find fascinating now is just how many people that I see in the supermarket flipping over packages to see what is actually inside their food.
Dr. Berg and his common sense advice backed up by scientific research has vastly improved my health and can do the same for you too almost overnight.
Your appreciation sentiments I like . He is mentor in teachung healthy ways of living .
Do you have prostate Englarment?
Yes Dr. Eric. Sometimes I notice Nocturia. Been monitoring and Notice if I eat something sweet or carbs late I’ll get up once or twice a night. It’s annoying to go to bed at 1 and wake up at 4. Diet definitely makes a difference.
Same. Started have my nightly sweet snack earlier and it’s already made a difference.
Im 63 and was getting up 3 to 4 times per night. Then swtiched to Keto and IF and after a week , dont get up at all and sleep soundly. Great advice as always Dr Berg.
I m a doctor, and consider Dr Berg a mentor in teaching ways of healthy living .
I like chromium picolinate as an extra safeguard for Insulin Resistance as well. Thanks for the insight Dr Berg. I like that innovative types like you have much more of a chance of being listened to these days.
Thank you Dr Berg for another amazing video. I learn a lot from you. May God protect you and your family!
What has really helped for me is not drinking liquid 3 hours before bedtime. Only small sips after that. Then last urination before bed do it sitting. Stand up for 4 seconds. Sit back down and rock back and fourth 4 times and relax. I’m always shocked I go another 1/2-1 cup or so of urine and go to bed with an empty bladder. I went from 2-3 times a night to sleeping straight through 7-8 hours!
Thanks, I’ll try it but I seriously doubt I’ll get another 1/2 CUP eliminated, let alone one full cup. Seems like an enormous amount left over but hey, doesn’t hurt to try.
It might be different for some people, but i believe anterior pelvic tilt plays a significant role in this problem, once it messes with the pelvic floor the bladder cant hold pee as easily in the middle of the night which then causes you to wake up. So fix anterior pelvic tilt>>which flxes a tight pelvic floor>> bladder no longer wakes you up>>everything goes back to normal
Yes, I use an electric activator to help my wife with this problem.
My husband is a huge sugar addict and he eats sweets late at night and sometimes throughout the night 😢. He knows all that you teach Dr Berg because not only have I told him but I’ve been the example. Avoiding sugar and carbs is something i mostly do but i still haven’t completely kicked sugar. Still, doing OMAD has help me go from 240 lbs to 189 lbs. My goal is 160 lbs. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Sounds like you’re doing good. I too am struggling with sugar… mostly honey. I’m not overweight but it’s still doing terribly things (urinating often at night is one). A couple of things that helps me are organic monk fruit sweetener (without toxic erythritol) and fresh fruit (eaten all by itself of else it causes me indigestion). I also include a few healthy starches such as sweet potatoes and rice mainly with my evening meal because that’s the most challenging time for me. Keep it up. We can do this!
Sucanat is the best sugar to be using for me.
You are getting close. You are going to make it.
I had never heard of sucanat. With a bit of research I found that it has some nutrients so it’s healthier than plain sugar but it’s still sugar. Still if you have to have some sweets other than fruit then this may be a decent option. Really interesting. I may try some.@@janelleduke5432
