Author: The Natural Alternative - with Madonna Guy ND March 26, 2026 Duration: 27:24

Bladder urgency isn’t just “one of those things” — it’s a full‑body, full‑emotion experience that can hijack your day, your sleep, and your sanity. In this lively and eye‑opening episode, David Sheil & Madonna Guy dive into the real reasons people struggle with urgency, frequency, and that dreaded “gotta go NOW” feeling.

They unpack the surprising hormonal triggers, the emotional patterns your bladder remembers (yes, it has opinions), and why stress can turn a calm bladder into a drama queen. Then they explore how triGLP supports gut‑brain signalling, metabolic balance, and inflammation — all key players in bladder behaviour.

From the “nervous wee” to the “just in case wee” to the “why am I up three times a night” mystery, David and Madonna bring humour, clarity, and practical insights that help listeners feel seen, understood, and empowered.

If your bladder has ever run your schedule, your sleep, or your social life, this episode is your new best friend.
