Sleep Apnea and Gut Issues Can Cause Nighttime Urination

Eat for Life

Nighttime urination is a common problem across all age groups. It affects men, women, and children. If you find yourself waking up around 3 a.m. or if you have nightly bathroom trips that seem to occur like clockwork every 90 minutes, then this episode is for you. Today I am talking about two overlooked underlying causes of nighttime urination: gut inflammation and breathing problems (specifically sleep apnea).
In this episode you will learn:

• Nighttime urination is common and can be caused by various health issues, but often overlooked causes include gut inflammation and breathing problems
• Gut inflammation can be caused by an overgrowth of inflammatory microorganisms, affecting the microbiome and leading to health problems such as breathing issues
• Sleep apnea can cause nighttime urination as it creates a vacuum in the chest cavity, leading to more urine production
• H. pylori infection can cause a range of symptoms, including acid reflux, which can lead to obstructed breathing and consequently, nighttime urination
• Treating root causes like H. pylori infection and addressing lifestyle factors, such as diet and sleep habits, can help alleviate nighttime urination
