Dr Michael Platt | Bio-identical Hormones and Optimising Adrenal Health

Dr Michael Platt is the president of the Platt Wellness Centre, and one of the most well-known and highly regarded specialists when it comes to hormone replacement, successfully treating thousands of patients globally. Angela and Dr Michael discuss hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, the benefits of progesterone in modulating factors such as adrenaline, and how it can help to alleviate many symptoms in patients. KEY TAKEAWAYS People have varying degrees of adrenaline itself. It is a hormone and a neurotransmitter, known as the "fight or flight" hormone. But the true function of adrenaline is just to make sure that the brain has enough sugar to operate. Adrenaline is a genetic marker. If someone has too much, then it means that one of their parents also had a surplus. It also appears in high levels among creative people. The advantage of being in ketosis is that the body is already producing ketones. But if you are providing ketones through external means, there is no need to be in ketosis. When women are pregnant the placenta puts out progesterone causing high levels. If the woman and the foetus can tolerate these levels, then it follows that normal people should be able to tolerate them also.
