Natural Ways to Achieve Growth Hormone Boosting

Growth hormone is powerful, critical for health, important for longevity. If you use supplements consider discussing ways you can monitor use by a health care provider.

There are several ways to boost growth hormone naturally.

  1. Diet and Supplementation: As a basic premise, higher levels of insulin will diminish growth hormone activity. Eating foods that are high in protein and low in sugar can help increase growth hormone levels. Supplements like arginine, glutamine, and ornithine can also help increase growth hormone levels¹.
  2. Training: Strength training increases GH levels. The problem is that cortisol, a stress hormone, is also released during long workouts and inhibits the GH and testosterone¹. Personal trainers can help with this.
  3. Sleep and Stress: Growth hormone is released during sleep, so getting enough sleep is important for maintaining healthy GH levels. Stress can also inhibit GH production¹. At Hatha we recommend yoga to balance sympathetic system with parasympathetic system.
  4. Fasting: Studies show that fasting leads to a major increase in HGH levels². However, continuous fasting is not sustainable in the long term. Intermittent fasting is a more popular dietary approach that limits eating to brief time periods².
  5. Amino Acids: Taking L-arginine and L-lysine before exercise and sleep might boost production by 700%. 3 to 5 grams should be enough³.
  6. Melatonin: Anywhere from 0.5 to 5 mg of melatonin can help with sleep patterns. Take it before bed for an HGH boost of up to 157%³.
  7. Reduce Sugar Intake: Reducing sugar intake can help naturally increase levels of human growth hormone². Overall diets high in sugar increase inflammation and contribute to both stress and aging.
  8. Lose Body Fat: Reducing excess body fat — especially around your belly — may help optimize HGH levels and improve overall health².
  9. Certain Supplements: Certain supplements like GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) and creatine may help increase growth hormone levels⁴.

Some are deficient in Growth Hormone and may require supplementation or treatment with compounds stimulatory to natural GH release. An actual deficiency can be measured by a blood test. If you have growth hormone deficiency, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, muscle atrophy, loss of bone mass, increased risk of heart disease including high cholesterol, it’s possible that you could be a candidate for a form of growth hormone treatment. You may benefit from sermorelin which triggers GH release. Before therapy with this at www womenshealthpractice.com we suggest that you be evaluated for other hormone and nutritional imbalances that could be producing these same symptoms.
