Show Notes:
02:45 Peptides stimulate your endogenous production of growth hormone.
03:10 Sermorelin does not increase growth hormone beyond super physiologic levels.
04:35 Peptides can improve hormone health, longevity, reverse aging-related processes of inflammation and injury recovery.
08:45 Growth hormone improves cell function.
11:05 Sermorelin stimulates growth hormone secretion for about 12 minutes.
12:30 Growth hormone peaks are nighttime and post-workout.

15:45 IGF-1 is a biproduct of growth hormone breakdown.
18:30 Additional strategies.
22:05 Poor diet and lifestyle choices reduce growth hormone.
25:10 Women in their teens and 20s may have suboptimal production of hormones.
30:30 Progesterone receptors can be stimulated with herbal treatments.
31:30 Xenoestrogens cause more disruptive receptor stimulation.
33:15 Obesity is one of the biggest risk factors for breast cancer.

| 0:00.0 | The way that Simmerlin works is that it will stimulate growth hormone secretion |
| 0:06.0 | within a certain time frame and we're able to achieve a larger peak in growth hormone |
| 0:12.3 | as opposed to if we're trying to do this in a more natural way. |
| 0:16.0 | And the interesting thing is that our hormone production including testosterone and growth hormone |
| 0:21.4 | it declines with age and that decline |
| 0:24.9 | Surprisingly can start as early as in our 20s |
| 0:29.2 | mid 20s |
| 0:29.2 | So in a way doesn't surprise me that men in their early 30s are starting testosterone |
| 0:35.6 | therapy, but we kind of have to think about the therapeutic order of things and making sure |
| 0:40.0 | what that we identify the other hormones that are potentially involved. |
| 0:44.5 | And so the problem with a lot of the testosterone clinics is they don't get the whole picture |
| 0:49.2 | and they may be jumping the gun on prescribing testosterone to younger men and even older |
| 0:56.5 | older population and could we potentially use some morelen or could we potentially |
| 1:00.8 | use some of these growth hormone releasing peptides to |
| 1:04.9 | improve testosterone production. It sounds kind of weird. Well how can growth hormone do |
| 1:08.5 | that? But it all comes down to improving overall self-function and growth hormone it's not just |
| 1:15.9 | about building muscle and improving collagen production which has benefits on you know |
| 1:21.2 | for skin and hair it's not just about fat loss if we |
| 1:25.2 | look at overall self-function systemically in the different systems in the body |
| 1:30.1 | it can improve glandular function so we can actually improve our own |
| 1:35.5 | testosterone production. |
