| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So today we're going to talk about the fasting influence over growth hormone. |
| 0:48.2 | Now, why is that important? Because as you age, growth hormone decreases more and more and more, |
| 0:53.9 | to the point where |
| 0:55.1 | you're in your 60s or 70s or 80s and there's not much left. And the problem with that is that it |
| 1:01.3 | affects your proteins, your skin. So your skin starts looking older, your joints fall apart. You lose |
| 1:08.0 | muscle mass, you lose your hair. But other than that, you're doing good. |
| 1:11.8 | Growth hormone helps to preserve proteins that help you look useful. It actually helps with body |

| 1:52.7 | sleeping. It's suppressed when you're eating, especially carbohydrates. You can spike growth hormone |
| 2:00.1 | with high-intensity interval training. You can spike growth hormone with high intensity interval training. |
| 2:03.1 | You can also suppress growth hormone with stress, but you can dramatically increase growth hormone |
| 2:10.3 | through fasting. I'm going to put some links down below referencing some of the studies, |
| 2:15.8 | but it's been shown that in a two-day fast, |
| 2:18.3 | you can potentially increase growth hormone by 200%. A three-day fast, up to 300%. And in one report, |
