From the founder and president of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, Dr. Klatz, comes an exciting groundbreaking book that will forever change how we think about the aging process and all of its side effects. In Grow Young with HGH, Dr. Klatz introduces to the public the never-before-revealed, wide-ranging benefits of this extraordinary hormonal therapy that has been proven in human studies to reverse aging. Dr. Klatz explains why GH is such an amazing medical and scientific advance and how its youth-restoring benefits are available to everyone.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is by far the most potent and effective anti-obesity fat-burning agent ever discovered! HGH does something no other weight loss product does. HGH promotes the burning of fat by making it available to the body as fuel, revives up the metabolism to youthful levels, reshapes the body by selectively reducing the fat in the waist, abdomen, hips, and thighs, and at the same time increasing muscle mass.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) revitalizes the immune system, lowers the risk of heart disease by lowering blood pressure and improving blood cholesterol profiles, improves oxygen uptake, improves sleep and helps prevent osteoporosis.
HGH is a powerful anti-obesity hormone. HGH promotes the burning of fat while increasing muscle mass. It enhances sexual function in both men and women. For many it acts like cosmetic surgery in a bottle, restoring skin thickness, elasticity, smoothing out wrinkles and rejuvenating hair and nails.
The Feast-Fast Cycle - an excerpt from Grow Young with HGH.
The best explanation for how growth hormone works to reduce weight and build muscle, according to Danish researcher Jens Sandhal Christiansen, comes from a paper on the metabolic action of growth hormone that was published in Nature in 1963. The way it works is this. With every meal, we go through a three stage cycle of feast and fast.
In the first hour after eating (stage one), the blood sugar rises and insulin is released, which encourages the storage of excess carbohydrates and fat. After the second hour (stage two), growth hormone is released and the levels of insulin and blood sugar start to fall. At this stage, growth hormone acts to build up muscle protein, an activity that is enhanced by the presence of insulin.
In stage three, known as the postabsorptive phase, which occurs more than four hours after eating (the fasting stage), the growth hormone concentrations remain at a high level, while the insulin almost disappears. At this stage, growth hormone acts solely to mobilize the body's fat stores for burning as fuel.
When we're young, our levels of growth hormone are high in relation to insulin. This is good because insulin works to create fat, while growth hormone works to break down fat for use as energy. Growth hormone acts as a brake on insulin, keeping its fat creation and storage at a minimum. This is why, when you were young, you could pig-out on pizza and fries and shakes all you wanted without paying the consequences.
Now, let's look at what happens when you age. Starting around your mid to late thirties, even in the twenties for some people, you start to put on fat even though your diet and physical activity haven't changed. The reason is that the balance between growth hormone and insulin has shifted.
Growth hormone has declined while the levels of insulin, if anything, have remained the same or even gone up. Insulin is an essential hormone required for metabolism of sugar. Without it, we die. Insulin also stimulates muscle growth but to a much lesser extent than GH. But with less growth hormone around, insulin is free to turn every calorie you don't immediately expend into fat for later use.
Insulin and growth hormone are both our friends; it is the balance between them that is the problem. By bringing growth hormone back to youthful levels - not beyond, which could have negative effects - we can restore the balance between GH and insulin so they both work together as outlined in the feast to fast cycle above.
In this way, when GH and insulin are both in the bloodstream together, they help to stimulate protein synthesis and muscle mass growth. At the same time the higher levels of GH work to block insulin's fat storage effect. And during the postabsorptive phase when insulin disappears from the bloodstream, growth hormone can melt away fat without interference.
