Description
Waking up multiple times a night to urinate—a condition known as nocturia—is a frustratingly common problem that disrupts sleep, drains energy, and is typically blamed on age or a weak bladder. But according to Dr. Berg, the bladder is rarely the root cause. In this illuminating video, Dr. Berg explains the surprising underlying triggers of nocturia, including blood sugar imbalances, elevated cortisol, impaired kidney function, and even an underactive thyroid. He explains how high blood sugar causes the kidneys to filter and excrete excess glucose in urine, dramatically increasing urinary output at night—and why insulin resistance is one of the most overlooked yet correctable causes of nocturia. Dr. Berg also covers how cortisol peaks at certain times during the night and can trigger fluid dysregulation, and how targeted dietary changes can eliminate nighttime urination for many people without any medication. Whether you’re waking up once or four times a night, this video offers a fresh scientific lens on a common, sleep-disrupting problem and a clear, actionable path toward getting a full, uninterrupted night of rest—starting with the right dietary and lifestyle adjustments.
