Human growth hormone (HGH) is a key hormone produced in the pituitary gland that plays an important role in growth, cell regeneration, and metabolism. As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, contributing to signs of aging like decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, reduced bone density, decreased energy levels, and impacted mood and cognitive function.
Maintaining optimal HGH levels as we age can help counteract many age-related declines. HGH therapy involves administering bioidentical human growth hormone to restore HGH levels, providing anti-aging and metabolic benefits.
The following are common signs that your HGH levels may be declining:
If you are experiencing any combination of these symptoms as you age, HGH deficiency could be a key contributor.
Restoring HGH levels to an optimal range with bioidentical growth hormone injections can provide advantageous such as:
HGH therapy involves subcutaneous injections of biosynthetic human growth hormone to mimic the natural pulsatile release of HGH. This restores circulating levels to a youthful range.
HGH therapy is generally administered 3-7 times per week, often before bedtime. The dosage must be individualized based on factors like age, gender, medical history and lab testing.
Ongoing blood tests and clinic visits for evaluation of treatment progress are a key part of responsible HGH therapy.
Although often associated with performance enhancement and anti-aging, HGH therapy was originally developed in 1985 as a treatment for growth hormone deficiency in children. When given for legitimate medical reasons under doctor supervision, HGH can help children with growth issues reach normal height and development milestones.
Since low HGH levels contribute to various unwanted age-related changes, it is important to test hormone levels through blood screening if symptoms of HGH deficiency emerge. Identifying and properly treating declines early is key for optimal response to therapy.
The experienced medical providers at Renew Hormone Clinic specialize in precision testing, diagnosis and customized treatment plans for hormone imbalances. We carefully evaluate medical history, risk factors and lab results to determine if HGH therapy is appropriate. Our goal is to help patients restore wellness, vitality and quality of life.
To promote optimal response to HGH injections, we provide all patients comprehensive support regarding diet, exercise, stress management and other lifestyle factors.
Key recommendations include focusing the diet on lean proteins, fruits, vegetables and whole grains while limiting sugars and refined carbohydrates. Engaging in regular high intensity exercise boosts HGH naturally and enhances results. Activities like burst training, heavy strength training and HIITS are ideal. Managing stress through yoga, meditation or mindfulness has metabolic benefits. Good sleep hygiene, nutritional supplements and moderating alcohol intake can also optimize therapy response.
We help patients implement positive lifestyle changes to address physical, mental and emotional health for comprehensive wellbeing.
