Dr. Michael Platt M.D. talks a lot about how fascinating our bodies are and some steps to take get to the source and heal our bodies. He wrote the Adrenaline Dominance Book – A Revolutionary Approach to Wellness, which talks about how to recognize signs of adrenaline dominance in our bodies and how to fix these issues. This is something I had never even heard of, so of course I DOVE INTO this plethora of information. He says there are some fairly simple fixes in order to even everything out–(sign me up!).
Here are some signs that you may have adrenaline dominance:
- Fatigue
- Sleep issues
- Belly fat/blood sugar issues
- Overactive Bladder/Frequent Urination
- Fibromyalgia
- Brain fog/ADHD
He also says that highly creative people and those with ADHD have adrenaline dominance–who knew?!
In the episode #33 by The Adrenal Fatigue Podcast, the hostesses ask ALL THE QUESTIONS regarding this subject. They talk about cortisol–if you have raised levels of cortisol, then adrenaline dominance is raised as well, and what that means for your body. Dr. Platt even talks about colicky babies and how that’s a sign of adrenaline dominance (yes, even in babies!). He also talks about “easy fixes,” in his opinion. Well, I was sold!
Here are some of his recommendations:
- Organic MCT Oil (since adrenaline is basically raised glucose levels in the brain, this will balance those glucose levels and helps the ketones levels as well.
- Eating the foods that are meant for your body–green leafy veggies are best! (eating what God made, vs. Manmade)
- Progesterone Cream is the MECA! Dr. Platt goes in DEPTH about this– it’s worth listening to and reading about. It can be used on adults, children, even pets! As with many things, not everything is created equal–his motto is QUALITY, which is why I chose Dr. Platt’s medical-grade progesterone cream.
Dr. Platt also explains how to apply the progesterone cream as well. Isn’t this fascinating?! I just ordered my cream. I will let y’all know how I feel and I plan on using it on my entire family (dogs included!).
