The Adrenaline Dominance Bundle is designed to manage excess adrenaline.
Adrenaline is a hormone that most people are aware of. It is best known as the “fight-or-flight' hormone, which is released in large quantities whenever we are in danger. It is an extremely powerful hormone, and has significant physiologic effects on our body. These episodes are usually short-lived, and as soon as the danger passes the adrenaline levels go back down.
However, there is another reason the body releases adrenaline, and it can occur throughout the day and night for sustained periods. The primary function of adrenaline is to ensure that the brain has a proper amount of fuel to operate.
It is important to have the understanding that the primary reason the body is releasing excess adrenaline is simply to raise glucose levels for the brain. However, by giving the brain the fuel it needs, there is a reduced need to use adrenaline to provide fuel. Accordingly, there are two fuels the brain uses: glucose and ketones. The best source of glucose is derived from vegetables. Ketones are derived from coconut or MCT oil.
The key to lowering adrenaline is to eliminate the underlying reason why the body is overproducing it.
Since the brain uses more sugar than any other tissue in the body and must have sufficient fuel at all times, whenever the level of glucose in the brain is too low, the body releases adrenaline to raise the sugar level.
The primary approach to managing adrenaline is to follow a meal plan designed to feed the body, and especially the brain, a steady supply of the proper amount and the right type of sugar (that is, from low-glycemic carbohydrates) plus ketones, along with using a bio-identical progesterone cream.
Because everyone’s metabolism is different, there is no such thing as a one-size-ts-all meal plan. Thus the following meal plan should be treated as a set of guidelines, to be adjusted to the metabolic needs of each person’s body and brain. Even though this meal plan specifically addresses excess adrenaline, anyone who wants to eat healthfully can benefit from it.
The plan will lower any excess adrenaline that may be contributing to stress. And because the meal plan keeps insulin production low, anyone with a weight problem can follow these guidelines to lose weight healthfully.
Progesterone 5% cream blocks adrenaline
The other thing needed to control adrenaline is a 5% progesterone cream (50 mg per pump) applied 1-3 minutes before eating. Not only does progesterone block adrenaline from getting to adrenaline receptor sites, but it also blocks insulin.
It only takes 24 hours to notice a significant effect from lowering adrenaline. You should feel more relaxed and be able to focus more clearly. By the second night, you should be sleeping more soundly without tossing and turning, grinding your teeth, or getting up to urinate. During the day, anger issues should subside.
An advantage of using progesterone in a cream form is that people can adjust the amount of cream to balance the benefits they seek. After reducing adrenaline levels, you may need less cream to achieve your desired results.
3 oz Size - Strength – 50 mg (1 pump)
The recommended application is 50 mg of progesterone, which is contained in 1 g (1/4 teas) of the cream. There are 85 grams per bottle or 85 applications (75-85 pumps). One application is approximately one pump, although the amount pumped may vary.
For those with increased adrenaline, we recommend using the cream 1-3 minutes before meals to control insulin levels. Do this up to four times a day. When symptoms of increased adrenaline are abated, you can reduce applications to 2-3 times a day.
If you have trouble sleeping at night, it is recommended that you eat a low-glycemic carbohydrate just before going to bed and apply the cream again just before eating your bedtime snack.
Other supportive supplements for adrenals:
Vitamin D: The recommended dose is 2,000 IU per day for maintenance.
Fish oil or Omega 3: The recommended dose is 1,000–3,000 mg every day.
B-complex: Overall, the B vitamins are responsible for maintaining normal blood sugar levels, fat metabolism, hormonal balance, and proper absorption of zinc. A number of the B vitamins have been shown to help restore proper adrenal function.
Vitamin C: The adrenals secrete vitamin C during their response to a stressor, and chronic stress depletes vitamin C stores. The recommended dose is 1,000–2,000 mg per day.
