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.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better understand how to increase growth hormone and build muscle on keto. I’ll see you in the next video.
👍🙏💕Thank you so much Doctor Berg.This topic is so awesome for my mum, very fantastic and informative ❤
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.
Is one three day fast every month good enough? What is your opinion please?
@@brianheflin15 how long or how many days did that feeling stay?
@@brianheflin15 *_EXCELLENT!!! Congrats!!!_*
@@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.
@@strizz1992 I can’t speak for Brian, but my longest fast, 134 hours, was 3 weeks ago and I’m still experiencing some healing of an eye issue that started getting better the day after my fast. I don’t feel euphoric, LOL, but the results can last for months if you’re talking about stem cell production.
This is great! It’s difficult to avoid temptations while on keto initially, until you understand the mechanism of what you’re winning. And that’s the context you provide with your videos! For me, it’s been the sleep! I have put on more weight on my midsection despite being on OMAD lately though. I gained some of that weight back, but my sleep is consistently great and my mood has improved as well as my digestion. I guess it’s just a matter of being patient! Thank You!
0:24: 💪 Growth hormone levels decrease significantly as we age, leading to difficulties in muscle building and fat burning.
3:06: 💤 Sleep apnea can lead to a lack of oxygen and hinder growth hormone production.
6:18: 🩸 Insulin resistance can lead to low insulin levels and a potential inability to regulate blood sugar.
9:30: 💡 Pituitrophin PMG can support the gland that produces growth hormone and improve sleep, hair, and nail growth.
12:59: 💪 Intermittent fasting can increase growth hormone levels and help with muscle loss on the ketogenic diet.

Don’t plants absorb oxygen at nights and give out c02?
Super 👌
Dear @emmichwan: That’s very helpful. Thank you!
you are a HERO
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.
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.
Always enjoy your podcasts. Thanks you for all of your great info😊
Thank you for this education regarding natural growth harmone.
Wisdom and knowledge is absolutely beneficial for health and wellness!
Thanks and respect to you; Dr. Berg.
You’re very welcome! Glad to help!

It’s my understanding that plants consume oxygen at night by burning carbs for energy. It would be necessary to give plants a night-light for them to produce oxygen at night. P.S. I love Dr. Berg and watch all of his videos. Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing your wisdom/research and making the world a healthier place.💯❤
True but they were photosynthesizing all day so there should be some in there already plus having a light on while your sleeping would likely disrupt ur circadian rhythms
Also plants need dark to perform respiration to grow and repair themselves
I think they’re dormant at night. Photosynthesis is driven by sunlight (photo = light). O2 is only released during photosynthesis – in daylight (or light).
correct, having a plant by you at night to increase O2 is completely false. Take everything you hear on youtube with a grain of salt and do your own research from multiple reputable sources before committing things to memory. Having said that, the amount of C02 they give off at night is negligible.
First of all, Thanks for all the great info!! Your tips have helped so much. My BP is down 50/30, I’ve lost loads of weight, and the heart related effects of a certain disease and vaccine were eliminated using the correct vitamins and amino acid. I have all the symptoms of what you list here, I guess it’s the next thing I’ll work on.
Powerful message Dr. Berg.
I’m attempting a lot of these ideas already and they are slowly helping. Heck I am able to sustain longer nights and awake earlier because of your tips. Now to work on getting my growth hormone up for other results.
Cheers so much again Dr Berg I love taking your simple advice because it just works ☺❤
1:50 Pituitary gland 8:00
10:00 Sprinting
11:00 Diet; exercise
11:30 Heat therapy
13:00 Glycogen; flat muscle
Thank you
Sprinting or running like I used to do and all kinds of races! I all it helped with is losing weight!
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.
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..)
sorry if this is a stupid question but i just want to make sure, when you say you eat 2 times a day and fast in between, you eat breakfast, skip lunch and eat dinner?
@@paulcuddle664 eat in a four hour window. breakfast and dinner within four hours of each other. then twenty hour fast.
@@paulcuddle664 It just means I don’t snack in between my two meals. my first meal is at 11:30am then I don’t eat again until dinner at 5:45pm. I keep away from sugar.
@@seanmartin681 me too Sean Boiled eggs
What blocks HGH:
#1. Insomnia.
#2. Hyperglycemia.

Thank you Dr. Berg!!

My Keto and fasting journey has been fantastic. Recently though I’ve got a a strong urge to avoid what little vegetables and berries I was eating. I crave meat, butter, eggs, cheese and kefir. I feel better, fitter and stronger than ever.
Thanks to Dr.Berg for retaining healthy muscle ,with increased intake of potassium !!!!!

Thanks Doc,you are one of my guardian angels !!!!

Hey dr berg, do you have a routine on which you should do cold therapy and heat therapy? Within the same time frame of thirty minutes? Immediately after one another? One in the morning or one at night? I feel like doing it rapidly cold hot cold hot might be bad, idk.
Well done Dr. Berg! he presented such comprehensive and useful information very simply and clearly! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
