1. Low progesterone
2. High insulin.
3. Adrenaline
Over-production
of a single hormone, insulin is associated with many metabolic problems.
Insulin is the number one hormone that creates fat, especially around the
middle of the body. It is number one hormone that causes ‘Type 2 diabetes’ and
in many physicians’ opinion, it is the hormone that participates ADD and ADHD.
Low progesterone is almost always associated with the over – production of
insulin.
ADHD starts
out some way – too much insulin leading to a low sugar levels. But ADHD have
another hormone disorder: Adrenaline. Brain cannot function without sugar, and
the body’s amazing capacity pours out adrenaline to raise sugar level and the
process is called Gluconeogenesis. Adrenaline, which is natural speed, causes
these kids to be hyperactive. Most ADHD child often carries type A
personalities (Workaholics) in their adulthood and are at risk for developing
bipolar disorder. They frequently develop chemical dependencies on Alcohol,
Cigarettes, Methamphetamine and some other addictions. Very often hormonal problems
lead to depression. So, you are probably in a situation like this;
·
High
Sugar – High insulin, hyperactive.
o
Sugar droops abnormally.
o
Adrenaline takes sugar from brain and
you cannot focus.
o
You take sugar again and the insulin
is double. A vicious cycle.
How to solve your problem: Balancing the hormone is very
important through diet, moderate exercise and visiting an endocrinologist who
can adjust your hormone levels. Kids with ADHD are treated with drugs - such as
Ritalin, Adderall and Strattera. In your case Ritalin has been prescribed. You
can visit your doctor and explain your situation. He might adjust or withdraw
your medication slowly.
