Balancing Blood Sugar Naturally: The Adrenaline Connection

Balancing Blood Sugar Naturally: The Adrenaline Connection

  • Description

Blood sugar balance is essential for sustained energy, focus, and long-term health. But for many, fatigue, cravings, weight struggles, and restless nights trace back to an overlooked culprit: excess adrenaline.

The Adrenaline–Glucose Connection

When adrenaline is too high — often triggered by stress, poor sleep, or irregular meals — it signals the liver to release stored sugar. This creates spikes and crashes in blood sugar that drive cravings, irritability, and exhaustion.

Breaking this cycle requires more than just cutting carbs — it’s about calming adrenaline and stabilizing glucose naturally.

The Platt Wellness Meal Plan

Dr. Michael Platt developed a meal plan specifically to stabilize glucose and minimize adrenaline surges. It centers on:

  • Protein with every meal (eggs, fish, poultry, nuts, seeds)
  • Healthy fats to slow absorption and provide steady fuel
  • Low-glycemic carbs like leafy greens and vegetables
  • MCT oil for quick, sustained brain energy that doesn’t spike blood sugar

Adding MCT oil to meals or coffee provides ketones the brain can use for fuel — preventing the fatigue and “crash” that happens when adrenaline burns through glucose too quickly.

Progesterone & Sleep

Quality sleep is critical for blood sugar balance. Yet adrenaline surges at night are a common cause of insomnia and tossing-and-turning.

Dr. Platt found that bio-identical progesterone cream helps calm the brain by blocking excess adrenaline. Used before bed, it not only promotes deep, restful sleep, but also helps regulate nighttime blood sugar swings that can lead to morning fatigue and carb cravings.

Supplement Support for Glucose Stability

In addition to diet and progesterone, targeted supplements can reinforce healthy glucose levels:

  • Adrenal Reboot – Supports adrenal balance, reducing adrenaline spikes.
  • Glucose Support – Key nutrients for stable blood sugar and insulin sensitivity.
  • Berberine – Clinically shown to improve glucose regulation.
  • Omega-3s – Reduce inflammation and support insulin function.
  • Vitamin D3 - Helps with blood sugar balance by enhancing insulin sensitivity. 
  • DHEA - Improves insulin sensitivity” as part of broader hormonal and metabolic health support. 
  • Platt PRO 5% Progesterone Cream - Our 5% formulation is the exact formula to counteract the harmful effects of excess insulin (along with estrogen and adrenaline).

The Bottom Line

Balancing blood sugar isn’t just about food choices — it’s about calming adrenaline, fueling your body consistently, and supporting sleep. With Dr. Platt’s protocols — including his meal plan, MCT oil, and natural progesterone — you can restore energy, mood, and long-term metabolic health.
