If you are WAKING UP TO PEE AT NIGHT, here's what's going on:

We have a hormone called anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) that stops us from peeing.

If you're getting up throughout the night to pee, you're probably low on it.

How can you make sure you're making enough? Well... ⬇️

Anti-diuretic hormone is dependent on VITAMIN C to be produced.

Consuming vitamin C rich foods, especially before bed, like:

◇ Red berries
◇ Kiwi
◇ Citrus fruit + juices

or supplementing, is the first step.

More on how to get enough vitamin C (+ its other benefits) below.

VITAMIN C:

⇨ Anti-cancer
⇨ Lowers stress
⇨ Renews skin
⇨ Improves sex life
⇨ Enhances energy & motivation
⇨ Crushes anxiety
⇨ Reduces sickness

& more.

Let's talk about the benefits of it, how to get enough and supplementation.

SALT can also help you stop peeing at night.

A decrease in salt intake can decrease the osmolarity of your fluids,

leading to a decrease in antidiuretic hormone output.

Kind of like how when you eat a lot of salt you get thirsty - when you drink water without enough salt you'll pee it out.

Low salt intake can increase stress hormones.

1,150 milligrams vs 5175 mg of sodium, higher salt:

☆ Cuts adrenaline in half
☆ Slashes noradrenaline

both of which increase blood pressure, increasing the amount of fluid pumped through the kidneys that needs to be excreted.

Salt has been demonized for the last 50 years,

but eating more salt can lower stress, improve metabolic health and might even make you live longer.

Here are the BENEFITS of SALT (Thread):

POTASSIUM is also incredibly important here.

When it's is low, the kidneys become resistant to vasopressin (ADH).

97% of people don't get enough potassium, some foods with lots of it:

➞ Potatoes (any kind)
➞ Orange juice
➞ Coconut water
➞ Cream of tartar
➞ Lean red meat

ACIDITY causes overactive bladder.

The nerves innervating the bladder can be activated by acidic urine, causing the "needing to pee" sensation.

People who have overactive bladder and pee in the middle of the night have acidic urine.

Baking soda is a powerful sleep aid.

Baking soda corrects the problem of acidity in the urine and:

‣ Decreases night time urination
‣ Improves daytime energy
‣ Massively improves subjective sleep

@ 1 tsp, twice daily.

If you can't stay asleep (or wake up to pee), you need to try GLYCINE.

3g before bed reduces:

⬩Night time urination
⬩Urination urgency
⬩Blood pressure

Glycine acts as a neurotransmitter that inhibits the nerve's contractions in the bladder through the night.

The power of GLYCINE is seemingly never-ending.

For something so cheap it has the power to literally extend lifespan, stop inflammation, heal your gut and send you into deep, restful sleep.

Let's get into the science, the incredible benefits & how to use it yourself:

Another thing that can cause you to wake up to pee is a lack of oxygen.

This is often due to a decrease in carbon dioxide levels. Carbon dioxide drives oxygen into tissues.

A lack of oxygen can cause an increase in the sympathetic nervous system, which will result in more peeing.

CARBON DIOXIDE:

Not a waste product or a villain in global warming, but an enhancer for your metabolism.

If you wake up to pee at night - you're probably low on CALCIUM or VITAMIN D.

These are crucial for LOWERING parathyroid hormone (PTH).

HIGH parathyroid hormone can reduce the kidneys' responsiveness to antidiuretic hormone.

Lowering PTH resolves nighttime urination.

If you wake up to pee at night, your CIRCADIAN RHYTHM is probably off.

This dictates the release of antidiuretic hormone & melatonin, which prevent you from peeing at night.

⇨ Consistent sleep / wake times
⇨ Bright light in the morning
⇨ Darkness at night

Are the keys here.
