6 Signs of Adrenaline Dominance (and what to do about it)

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!).

12 Week Yoga Burn for Weight loss

Do you wonder if your current workout routine is actually making you fat? I used to workout super hard. Like, we are talking HIIT workouts and heavy lifting nearly everyday. While that works for some people (and it actually worked for me when I was younger), it wasn’t quite working for me anymore, especially now that I’m 40 (gulp). I was retaining water weight, experiencing chronic inflammation and it seemed impossible to heal my body and lose weight. I was stuck. My hormones were out of balance and it was wreaking havoc on my body.

Heavy Workouts

Low Impact Workouts for Weight Loss

Stubborn fat just wouldn’t budge, so that led me on my health journey. I have learned that it is 99% about diet (at least it is for ME). And don’t get me on my soap box about how everybody and every body is different. It’s true. People respond to things differently and what works for me might not work for YOU. The important thing to note is that you have to do your own research and find what works. I have found that low impact workouts work best for my body. Low impact workouts help with toning and slimming my physique. I JUST started the Yoga Burn challenge. Their slogan is “helping women get lighter, healthier and happier.” It goes through three phases to “trick” your body so it burns more calories. I’m super pumped to get started! It’s only 45 minutes, three times a week. I can handle that! I will keep you posted with results!

Anyone want to join the challenge with me? I need all the support I can get!
