The Adrenaline Protocol philosophy is rooted in Dr. Michael E. Platt's innovative method that blends observational, functional, alternative, and allopathic medicine, emphasizing bio-identical hormones and dealing with adrenaline overload. Dr. Platt is the author of three acclaimed books: "The Miracle of Bioidentical Hormones," "Adrenaline Dominance," and "Platt Protocol," which have collectively won 11 literary awards.
As we age, the levels or our hormones decrease and we may become what is known as insulin resistant or insulin sensitive.
When sugar levels drop, the brain becomes hypoglycemic, leading to drowsiness. This ongoing demand for brain fuel can trigger excess adrenaline production, even without traditional fight-or-flight situations.
In other words, the body always wants the brain awake and alert. When it detects low fuel levels in the brain, the body initiates a process called gluconeogenesis – the making of sugar from protein. It is mediated via the sympathetic nervous system – i.e. adrenaline as a precursor to raising insulin.
Progesterone Cream blocks adrenaline, insulin and estrogen. Therefore a diet that fuels the brain is absolutely necessary for your hormone balance journey.
We recommend a diet to fuel the brain and applying the Progesterone Cream 1-3 minutes before each meal to mitigate the process of gluconeogenesis.
