In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from "Over 40 Fitness Hacks" interviews Dr. Michael Turner, an Integrative Medicine expert, about the importance of HGH (Human Growth Hormone), especially for people over 40. They discuss natural ways to boost HGH levels.
Dr. Turner highlights the significance of HGH, emphasizing its role in stimulating muscle growth, aiding ligament and tendon healing, and promoting fat loss. He describes HGH as one of the most potent fat-burning compounds in the body.
The conversation delves into methods for naturally increasing HGH production. Dr. Turner emphasizes the importance of deep sleep, particularly the deepest stages, as HGH is primarily secreted during this time. He recommends using sleep trackers to monitor and improve deep sleep quality.
Dr. Turner introduces GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) as a supplement that can enhance HGH release in the brain. He discusses a study that demonstrated a 30% increase in HGH release when athletes took 3000 milligrams of GABA before exercise.
Regarding the debate between deep sleep and strenuous physical activity for natural HGH release, Dr. Turner advises prioritizing quality sleep due to its many other health benefits, including reduced oxidative stress, decreased inflammation, and improved mental sharpness. However, he acknowledges the benefits of intense anaerobic exercise, like HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), in stimulating HGH release.
Dr. Turner's approach to health and wellness is goal-oriented and individualized. He tailors his services to each person's specific goals, whether it's weight loss, testosterone optimization, or other health-related objectives. Dr. Turner operates both online and locally in Washington state, with the majority of his services available online.
