Dr. Joel Rosen: Hello everyone and welcome back to another edition of your adrenal fix where we teach exhausted and burnt-out adults the truth about their health so that they can get their health back quickly. And it’s a pleasure for me to be joined by Michael Platt MD, who’s board-certified in Internal Medicine. He specializes in wellness and hormone therapy. He’s considered one of the leading experts in managing excess adrenaline and the use of high-dose progesterone. He’s the author of three books, the miracle of bioidentical hormones, the Platt Protocol for hormone balancing, and the one that we want to be talking about today is adrenaline dominant. So, Dr. Platt, thank you so much for being here today. Michael Platt, MD: I’m glad to be here. Dr. Joel Rosen: Excellent. Thank you. So I always start with hearing maybe your own health journey, and why you may be the Reader’s Digest version of why you got into health care in the first place. And tell us about any health challenges or why you got into this area in the first place. Michael Platt, MD: Well, I Well, in terms of becoming a doctor, it is just something I always wanted to be and but what actually guided my, my way into anti hormones, was the fact that my mother died of breast cancer at the age of 61, she’s pretty young. And I realized right after she died, that I had inherited her hormones. You know, most people don’t realize that many women have identical hormones, different levels, but the same hormones, and the fact that she had breast cancer, you know, told me that she was low and progesterone to too much estrogen. And, and, and the thing is, at that time when I was driving, I used to have to slap my face trying to keep my eyes open. And, and I thought, well, maybe B is some kind of relationship here. And, I figured I was putting on too much insulin. And I thought, well, because she’s low. And I said I’m probably low on progesterone, just like my mother is. So I started using progesterone. And since the first day that I’ve done that, I’ve never gotten to sleep in a car anymore. And that got me really interested in hormones. So I, you know, learned as much as I could, and I had a great advantage over a lot of other doctors because I had a good night. I was able to spend at least two hours with every patient. And let me tell you something, you know when you sit down to talk to a person and find out what their problems are, and then see, see how they react to certain things. You learn a lot. And you know, if you one thing you might notice in my books, there are no references. Because everything I’ve learned, I’ve learned from my patient. You know, that they call that observational-based medicine. Doctors are more comfortable with what the quote was to say. Dr. Joel Rosen: Like peer-reviewed research base article. Michael Platt, MD: Yeah. But anyway, so that’s, that’s how I got involved with hormones and. Dr. Joel Rosen: Right, Gotcha. So and you are outspoken about that, maybe we’ll just go into it a little bit in terms of just being dissatisfied with the medical system. And finding out that your mother, you know, passed away with potentially a condition that had she’d been properly worked up, she could have stayed around for longer and have the benefit of having two hours with each patient and asking questions and pulling in relevant information that you can’t glean in a two-minute encounter. And you’ve mentioned how the idea is unknown in the medical community and Miss diagnosing. So maybe we can start from there in terms of why is that happening? Do you feel? Michael Platt, MD: Well, something that a lot of people are not aware of is that doctors first of all, get no training in hormones, even though hormones control everything in the body, doctors get no training and hormones. And what’s interesting especially gynecologists, and that women go to get hormone advice. The and the other thing is that doctors are not trained to treat the cause of illness. It just trained to give out bad days. And a lot of this, of course, is because drug companies have tremendous control over how medicine is practiced. And you know, they control the FDA, they control the medical boards, they control medical schools. And what’s interesting about it Drug companies, have no interest in people being healthy. And that’s who runs our whole medical system. And that’s why, as we speak, the United States is at the bottom of the list of all civilized countries that turn to health care. We have a terrible healthcare system. Been unpopular and people are not aware of it. Dr. Joel Rosen: Yeah, it is. It is discouraging. And I do think it’s sort of like a ship turning in the ocean, it takes a long time to really see progress. But I guess, just glancing out into the future, do you see that ever-changing? Do you see that there are enough doctors I guess, as the older I guess, the older train ...
