If you want to increase vitality, gain lean muscle, reduce fat and increase your sleep quality—you might want to look into boosting your Growth Hormone. It sounds complex, but it’s something that you can do naturally and with great success.
Growth Hormone occur naturally in the body. When we are young we have high levels of growth hormone which makes for a speedy metabolism and a good ratio of lean muscle mass to body fat. As we get older, these levels decline and we start to notice a difference in our metabolism and body fat.
Because of this many people try to boost their Growth Hormone for weight loss, increased muscle, a more youthful appearance, improved mental sharpness and other positive benefits.
Some of the natural ways you can boost your growth hormone include:
– decreasing sugar intake / caloric restriction
– decrease cortisol levels by decreasing stress
-increasing protein intake (considering adding whey isolate protein drinks)
– doing cardio exercise 30 to 45 minutes 4-5 days a week.
The symptoms of growth hormone deficiency… include having low energy, looking and feeling fatigued, general muscle loss, reduced exercise capacity, “pot belly”, more facial wrinkles, decreased quality of sleep, loss of concentration, sagging cheeks, thinning lips and loss of self confidence/ self esteem.
If the natural boosting methods fail to increase the IGF-1 (measurement of HGH in blood), then HGH (human growth hormone) precursors can be effective. These precursors boost you own HGH production. The best known HGH precursors are Sermorelin, GHRP-2 and GHRP-6. At my practice I see an 85% of patient positive response to the use of these precursors.
If after 90 days using the precursors the IGF-1 levels fail to improve, then I consider the use of HGH. The down side of HGH is it’s cost and overdose of it can produce, glucose intolerance, uncontrolled hypertension and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
In summary, check your IFG-1 levels by a certified practitioner and discuss your options before being treated with HGH.
