HANS AMATO: Eat before bed. This is the single most important fix. A meal with protein, fat, and starch 1-2 hours before sleep.

Here is Hans Amato's Substack.

This remedy corroborates what two other doctors, Dr. Barry Sears and Dr. Andrew W. Saul, owner of the website, DoctorYourself, which may have been removed, have suggested in print to eat something before bed.  Both suggested cheese since that would help with sleep.

Waking up 2-3 times a night to piss and thinking it's because you drank water before bed It's not the water Your blood sugar is crashing at 1am, 3am, 5am. Each time it drops, your body dumps cortisol and adrenaline to bring it back up. Adrenaline wakes you up. Cortisol tells your kidneys to produce urine. You think you woke up because your bladder is full. Your bladder filled BECAUSE you woke up The urination is the symptom. The blood sugar crash is the cause This is why you pee barely anything each time. You get up, walk to the bathroom expecting a full bladder from all that water. Trickle. Back to bed. Awake again 2 hours later. Another trickle Because the bladder was never the issue. Your adrenals keep jolting you awake and your kidneys keep producing urine in response to the cortisol surge This is the same mechanism behind the 3am wakeup with the pounding heart. Same mechanism behind night sweats. Same mechanism behind waking up with racing thoughts and a sense of dread for no reason All blood sugar. All cortisol. All preventable What stops it: > Eat before bed. This is the single most important fix. A meal with protein, fat, and starch 1-2 hours before sleep. Sustains liver glycogen through the night so blood sugar doesn't crash. Rice + eggs + glass of milk. Potatoes + butter + meat. Something substantial. Not a handful of almonds > Stop undereating during the day. If total daily calories are too low, liver glycogen depletes by midnight regardless of what you eat before bed. Your body needs enough total fuel to make it through 8 hours without triggering an emergency response > Salt your evening meal. Sodium supports adrenal function. Low sodium at night means your adrenals are working harder to maintain blood pressure while you sleep. More cortisol output. More waking. > Magnesium glycinate 400mg before bed. Calms the nervous system. Supports GABA production. Reduces the cortisol reactivity that's waking you up. > Honey before bed. 1 tablespoon raw honey. Replenishes liver glycogen specifically. The liver uses glycogen to maintain blood sugar while you sleep. Honey tops it off. Stupid simple. Dramatically effective for a lot of people. > Check fasting insulin and fasting glucose together. If insulin is high and glucose is "normal," your body is working overtime to regulate blood sugar during the day. At night when the system relaxes, it loses control. The crashes happen. > Avoid alcohol before bed. Alcohol initially drops blood sugar then triggers a rebound spike and crash cycle through the night. The "I always sleep terribly when I drink" phenomenon is blood sugar chaos for 6 hours straight. Had a client. 36. Waking up 3-4 times every night for 2 years. Urologist said prostate was fine. Sleep study said no apnea. Prescribed Flomax anyway. He was eating his last meal at 6pm. Training at 7pm. Going to bed at 11pm. Five hours without food plus a glycogen-depleting workout right before a fast that lasts until morning. His liver was running out of glycogen by midnight. Cortisol alarm going off every 2 hours for the rest of the night. We added a real meal at 9pm. Bumped total daily calories by 400. Tablespoon of honey before bed. Magnesium. Slept through the night on day 4. First time in 2 years. His prostate was never the problem. His bladder was never the problem. He was starving in his sleep and his body kept hitting the fire alarm.

If you're getting up multiple times a night and peeing small amounts each time, eat more food and eat it closer to bed. That's usually the whole fix. DM me "REPORT" for the custom health report. Here's what you get: - full symptom and history mapping specific to you. - the most likely biological root causes behind what you're feeling. - exact labs to order and how to read the results yourself. - a prioritized protocol: what to fix, in what order, built around your body. Not a generic PDF. not a supplement list. a personalized breakdown of what's actually wrong and how to fix it The report your doctor would give you if he had 4 hours instead of 13 minutes.

J. MICHAEL WALLER: SPLC says it's tracking 892 hate groups in USA none of which is Islamist

MASSIMO: Long stereotyped for difficulties with focus, attention, and impulse control, individuals with ADHD traits often exhibit superior divergent thinking

individuals with ADHD traits often exhibit superior divergent thinking—the capacity to generate a wide array of novel ideas by connecting distant or unrelated concepts. This stems from reduced adherence to rigid mental frameworks, enabling freer conceptual expansion and the production of more original, unconventional solutions than neurotypical counterparts. --Massimo

Recent studies in neuroscience and psychology are reframing ADHD not merely as a set of cognitive hurdles but as a powerful driver of breakthrough creativity and innovation.

Long stereotyped for difficulties with focus, attention, and impulse control, individuals with ADHD traits often exhibit superior divergent thinking—the capacity to generate a wide array of novel ideas by connecting distant or unrelated concepts. This stems from reduced adherence to rigid mental frameworks, enabling freer conceptual expansion and the production of more original, unconventional solutions than neurotypical counterparts. Heightened mind-wandering, especially when deliberate (purposefully allowing thoughts to drift), acts as a fertile source for this creativity, bypassing conventional boundaries to yield abundant "outside-the-box" insights. Complementing this cognitive flexibility is a neurological drive for novelty rooted in lower baseline dopamine signaling. This creates a chronic need for stimulation, translating into exploratory, risk-tolerant behavior and a propensity for adventure—qualities that can disrupt routine settings but prove invaluable in dynamic fields. Impulsivity, often reframed as rapid action initiation, becomes a catalyst for pursuing bold ideas and seizing opportunities in high-stakes environments. These traits align closely with the profiles of many successful entrepreneurs, inventors, and pioneers. In fast-evolving creative and innovative economies, the ADHD brain's wiring for quick associative leaps, tolerance of uncertainty, and motivation through novelty-seeking provides a distinct edge, turning potential challenges into engines of originality and progress. Emerging evidence from 2025–2026 research reinforces this view: studies link stronger ADHD traits to elevated creative achievements via mediated mind-wandering, intuitive insight-driven problem-solving, and higher real-world inventive output, highlighting neurodiversity's role in fueling societal advancement.

DATA REPUBLICAN: They mean a system where "institutions" - NGOs, multilaterals, the permanent bureaucracy - advance a set of values they consider settled: equality, social justice, cosmopolitanism, global governance.

Thank you to J. Michael Waller. 

THREAD: You've heard the phrase "OUR DEMOCRACY" a million times. But what exactly is "OUR DEMOCRACY"? ๐Ÿค” When they say "democracy," they don't mean a republic. They don't mean consent of the governed. They don't mean your right to choose your own leaders. They mean a system where "institutions" - NGOs, multilaterals, the permanent bureaucracy - advance a set of values they consider settled: equality, social justice, cosmopolitanism, global governance. These values aren't proposals to be voted on. They're treated as moral prerequisites that must be true *before* your vote counts. Despite what they say, they aren't for checks and balances. Checks and balances limit what government can do to you. This limits what you can do to *them*. The brakes are on accountability, not power. The institutions that set the boundaries of acceptable policy have put themselves beyond the reach of the electorate, and they call that arrangement "democracy." Trump has been an existential threat to this system since the moment he said "drain the swamp" ... because the swamp IS the system. When he threatened those institutions, he didn't threaten the republic. He threatened their immunity from it. And they said so. On camera. At their own events. In their own words.

ALEXIS COWAN: animal fats and proteins, which are low deuterium foods, that helps your mitochondria work better in the absence of full spectrum, like UV light

Alexis Cowan on Deuterium: How One Simple Water Hack Could Reverse Mitochondrial Damage, Cancer, and Chronic Disease Sweat is deuterium enriched, so it helps your body to deplete deuterium. So, just briefly, deuterium is a heavy form of hydrogen. The amount of deuterium in your drinking water varies depending on what latitude you live at. High latitudes, lower deuterium. Equatorial latitudes, higher deuterium. Deuterium is enriched in plant foods, roots and fruits, starches, and is depleted in animal foods. At more northern latitudes, we’re really only meant to receive deuterium during the part of the year where we can grow and eat plants. Of course, now in the modern environment, we have access to any food at any time of year, and so a lot of people, especially if you’re eating processed foods, are eating deuterium bombs, and then they’re never sweating, they’re never getting out into sunlight to help them remove that deuterium, and deuterium clogs and gums up mitochondria. So, if deuterium levels get too high in the tissue, that creates mitochondrial dysfunction, which then begets more deuterium overload and more inflammation and more disease. So on the converse to that, deuterium depletion is being used in the treatment of cancer and diabetes right now, but there’s a large scope for other diseases as well, to actually reverse some of the root causes of the disease at the mitochondrial level. And so that’s why if people have heard of deuterium-depleted water, it’s something that is leveraged within these clinical trials, for example, to help ameliorate these two disease types. And for people who are interested in that, I’ll just make one brief note that the concentration of deuterium in the water is important. So you don’t want to just drink straight deuterium-depleted water because the deuterium in the bloodstream actually plays an important role. The blood is the most enriched source of deuterium in the body. The tissues have the least. So wherever there’s mitochondria, the deuterium goes away from that ideally. And so it’s concentrated in the blood where red blood cells have no mitochondria, so they don’t have to deal with this issue. But what you’re doing is you’re pulling water out of the blood volume, and because that’s deuterium-rich water, what you’re effectively doing is removing the deuterium-enriched water from the body, and then what you have to do in order to establish equilibrium is to pull deuterium out of the tissues to reestablish the right concentration of deuterium in the blood. So in effect, you’re depleting deuterium from your tissues when you sweat. And similarly with the drinking water, the drinking water is directly in homeostasis with your blood volume, and so if you’re drinking deuterium-depleted water, and the ideal range is between 105 and 120 parts per million, that’s going to very slightly reduce the blood deuterium levels, which then results in the deuterium being pulled out of the tissue to restore the roughly 150 parts per million concentration in the bloodstream. So those are a couple different ways. Obviously, when you’re sweating, you’re releasing deuterium. There’s also some evidence that when you’re getting exposed to full-spectrum sunlight, it also helps to remove deuterium from the water in the body, as well. And so there’s just a couple things. There also makes sense too because when you’re in an environment, like let’s say it’s summertime and there’s more plant foods available, there’s more deuterium in those foods. You’re eating that, but the body has the ability to handle that deuterium load better because the sunlight quality is better. Versus in the wintertime when there’s no plant foods available and you’re meant to be eating animal fats and proteins, which are low deuterium foods, that helps your mitochondria work better in the absence of full spectrum, like UV light and more intense, longer days...
