Let’s talk about the best ways to increase growth hormone, especially as you age.
In adults, growth hormone is crucial for muscle building and fat burning. It’s also important for building tendons, ligaments, collagen, joints, and bones. However, growth hormone dramatically decreases with age.
Side effects of a deficiency in growth hormone can include:
• Difficulty building muscle
• Cognitive issues
• Lowered mood
• Higher levels of LDL
• Hair loss
• Insomnia
Here are the top things that can block growth hormone:
• Insomnia
• Sleep apnea
• High blood sugar
• High insulin
• Chronic stress
• Liver problems
The pituitary gland produces growth hormone. Instead of replacing the hormone with a synthetic version, why don’t we support the gland that makes growth hormone?
How to increase growth hormone naturally:
1. Try Pituitrophin PMG from Standard Process
2. Do intense exercise
3. Take milk thistle (if you have a liver problem)
4. Get on the Healthy Keto® diet
5. Do cold immersion therapy
6. Do heat therapy
7. Do intermittent fasting
Some people find their muscles look flat or dehydrated after getting on keto. In this situation, it’s important to drink plenty of water with electrolytes, especially potassium and sodium. This will help keep the muscles hydrated. You could also try increasing your carbs to 50 grams per day by consuming foods like berries but still avoiding refined carbs and sugar.

I am 61 years old; 62 in one week. I have never told you how much you have helped me with my health and weight loss. I was 282 when I started watching your health advice. The education about what I was eating was the reason I was overweight. The keto information, eating more salads, getting wheat gluten out of my life, no more Cornola oil foods. my sugar intake is very low now. I lost; without running or high levels of exercise 29 pounds. 253 is the new me and still cutting up. I have abs again and lost all the inflammation in my joints. I can ride my bike again. I eat 2 times a day fasting between. Thank you Thank you. I have shared it with everyone.

[@seanmartin681]

I can relate, i found Dr Bergs videos about a year ago, searching for natural remedies for thyroid disease. At this point, i stopped buying pasta, rice, potatoes. I bought 3 hens that give me 3 eggs a day, which enables me to eat between 3 and 6 eggs a day (depending on if i am home). Eating tons of salad + eggs, even if i want to eat less healthy food, after eating eggs and salad, i am so full! I also eat some dark chocolat and bananas, and i lose a pound a week without even trying... (which i gain back whenever i visit my mom lol..)

I'm 51, female, and got into IF and prolonged fasting 10 months ago. I lost fat and built muscle the most by my 3-day+ fasts. I've done 3 3-day, 1 4-day, and 2 5.5-day fasts in the last 10 months. I've only been this built back when I was at the gym lifting weights 3 times a week in my early 30s. Now I'm just living my rural farm life and have the same result because of the IF and prolonged fasting. And I'm omnivorous, clean keto with no supplementation for HGH.

@@strizz1992 It depends on your goals. I originally started fasting (IF and prolonged) to heal an auto-immune disorder (severe asthmatic response to histamine in food and produced by my body that I HAD to heal because I literally couldn't EAT at all without causing an asthma attack) which I did. I fasted a LOT to make that happen (not to mention I was asymptomatic while I wasn't eating so that made it easier). In the _process_ I noticed my muscles getting really defined and my strength increasing! So, I don't know what to tell you regarding how much to do to get that result, but my advice is to start upping your fasting lengths and see what happens over the next 6 months.

Since I became familiar with Dr. Berg I have started being much more conscious of my carb intake, especially sugar. My PCP had me tested and he told me that I have a genetic predisposition to diabetes. I also found out that I was potassium and magnesium deficient. Learning from these videos has had an enormous effect on my personal preventative care routines.

[@NansGlobalKitchen]

Are you taking potassium and magnesium now if you do can you please share the brand and dosage example like in MG

@@NansGlobalKitchen I take 400mg magnesium. I take a prescription dose of potassium, so I forget what the regular dosage would be but I wouldn't take as much as I do without asking your doctor. As far as brands go, Himalaya is probably my favorite supplement brand.

I'm grateful for this channel. Keep it Up. I went to Pharmacy School and I'm really honest here saying, none of this was mentioned. But tbf the course deals with drugs I.e how to repair or get to some sort of normalcy after an illness. However after much contemplation I think we should also be taught how to stay ahead of the curve and not necessarily react after much damage has been done. How to cultivate healthy practices should also be insisted despite how much the modern world seems to lack a standard. I.E anything and anyone is being accepted despite reasons that whatever they are doing isn't okay/alright. Anyways much love from Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪. I also love the positive community in here.

I have found that taking a hot shower right before bed and keeping the bedroom cold, puts me to sleep fast and I don't wake up until I've had 8-9 hours of sleep. Switching from a shower in the morning to a shower at night did wonders for my sleep. I've always slept with the A/C on 68 in the summer and heat shut off in the bedroom in the winter. I also use a white noise machine. My energy went through the roof. I'm 67, been diabetic for 12 years and on keto that long as well.

As a 270lb bodybuilder. I can't do keto. I tried it many times. It isnt sustainable long term for guys like me. It severely destroys performance in the gym. 'Flat' muscles lead to easy injury when working out. I know from personal experience. If you aren't a bodybuilder sure keto is a good lifestyle diet. But bodybuilders need carbs to function properly and minimize risk of injury. If the goal is fat loss as a bodybuilder keto is fine, but you have much higher risk of injury especially if you go heavy. The water retention from high carb diets is what helps protect the joints and muscles when going heavier. Do with that information what you will. Have a blessed day.

[@XxowendanxX]

If you're a competitive bodybuilder, yes. Mike Mentzer once taught that the majority of your muscles are water. CarboHYDRATES are necessary to get water into the cell. You can get ripped on keto but you can't get as huge as you need to.

If you have control over your thermostat, keep the Fan setting to "Circulate." This will keep air moving periodically even when heat/cool is not needed. (It doesn't impact electric bill very much). If you have a newer house it will draw some fresh air through an intake. If you have an older house, it will draw some fresh air through cracks. I bought a CO2 meter and found that two adults and one dog sleeping in the same room with the door closed will raise the CO2 levels to over 1000 ppm! Having the HVAC fan set on circulate brings it down under 800ppm, not great but livable. Having a window open should go below 500ppm for ref.
