Adrenaline (epinephrine) is one of the body’s most powerful hormones — essential for the “fight-or-flight” response that helps us respond to immediate threats. But what happens when the body releases adrenaline chronically, even in the absence of danger?
Dr. Platt coined the term “Adrenaline Dominance” to describe a state in which the body produces excess adrenaline on an ongoing basis — often as a response to the brain’s need for consistent fuel. When blood sugar drops, the body may release adrenaline to raise glucose levels, creating a cycle that can contribute to symptoms such as:
This is distinct from “adrenal fatigue,” which refers to a different pattern of adrenal function. Adrenaline dominance is about excess output, not depletion.
Dr. Platt’s approach focuses on supporting the body’s ability to maintain stable brain fuel through dietary choices and hormonal support — particularly with a 5% bio-identical progesterone cream, which may help support healthy hormonal balance.

Hi Veronica,
I specialize in managing conditions associated with excess adrenaline.
My book, “Adrenaline Dominance”, is, I believe, to be the only book written that explores the world
of excess adrenaline. It explains why it happens, the conditions associated with it, and, of course,
how to treat it.
On the positive side, it only takes about 24 hours to achieve a significant reduction in levels.
Perhaps we should chat. My number is: 760-836-3232. If you prefer, you can send me your number
and a time to call I will call you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Michael E. Platt, md
The first site I have come across which addresses my problem! I was very ill years ago with various hormone issues and was put on natural progesterone. I definitely had too much adrenaline as well as an auto-immune thyroid problem. It is thought that I have a benign tumour on the pituitary gland and this is a hereditary condition. After menopause I was able to cut down on the progesterone but still need it to control the thyroid and adrenaline but have had no help from the endocrinologist who admits I cannot take thyroxine when I have too much adrenaline but has offered no other solution, I also have hypoglycemia. I cannot take beta blockers either so have to eat regularly and take progesterone. You mention there is something to help control adrenaline as well as progesterone??
