Deep dives
Progesterone's Role in Seizure Disorders
Progesterone therapy has shown significant benefits in addressing seizure disorders, regardless of age, even benefiting animals like dogs. Seizures, whether grand mal or petit mal, can be positively impacted by progesterone, with potential links to issues like low blood sugar and adrenaline fluctuations.
Progesterone's Impact on ADHD and Creativity
Progesterone plays a crucial role in addressing ADHD, a condition often misunderstood. People, especially children, with ADHD experience focus difficulties due to adrenaline levels, making progesterone a potential solution. The hormone also correlates with creativity in individuals and can effectively address ADHD symptoms.
Progesterone as an Antidepressant
Progesterone serves as a natural antidepressant, particularly helpful in managing endogenous depression stemming from internalized anger caused by adrenaline. By lowering adrenaline levels, progesterone can improve mood, reduce stress, and alleviate symptoms associated with depression, establishing its efficacy as an antidepressant hormone.
Progesterone Therapy and Traumatic Brain Injuries
Progesterone therapy showcases promising results in aiding traumatic brain injury patients by reducing brain inflammation and swelling, contributing to recovery. Its ability to reach the brain efficiently, similar to intravenous delivery, and act as an anti-inflammatory agent highlights its potential in addressing traumatic brain injuries.
Progesterone Therapy and Low Thyroid Symptoms
Starting progesterone therapy can unmask symptoms related to low thyroid function in individuals who have been relying on adrenaline for energy. Progesterone decreases adrenaline levels, which may lead to revealing symptoms of an underlying low thyroid condition. This interaction emphasizes the importance of addressing thyroid health when initiating progesterone therapy for optimal well-being.
Adrenaline Dominance and Weight Gain
Excess adrenaline released at night to raise glucose levels for the brain can lead to weight gain. Adrenaline surges can cause stress responses in the body, triggering cortisol release and fat storage. This cycle, often unnoticed, contributes significantly to weight gain, especially in individuals with adrenaline dominance, highlighting the impact of adrenaline management on metabolic health.
Dr. Michael Platt is quite famous for using bio-identical progesterone to help curb adrenaline which he says is at the root of just about every imbalance. I am inclined to agree!
From infants with colic to the aged with Alzheimer's, this episode will shock you and maybe give you hope.
