Are you familiar with Dr. Eric Berg (He has more then two millions subscribers on You Tube) and what do you think of his statement in this video https://youtu.be/TAQZATxnAfI
in which he talks about benefits of growth hormone for cell growth, cell regeneration, anti-aging, fat burning. He is also talking about intermitent fasting increasing growth hormone which is very beneficial for preserving muscle mass.
Growth hormone is involved in many processes, but in adults there is no convincing data supporting dietary/lifestyle manipulation of growth hormone within normal ranges. Growth hormone is an energy store sensing hormone. When glycogen levels fall via fasting (or exercise), growth hormone goes up. This is not an anabolic stimulus, but rather an artifact of the complex biology making up the human organism.
If you fast consistently I can promise you that getting big and strong is going to be harder, because of the fasting…
It is unfortunate that he has that many subscribers compared to how many we have. Makes me sad. He’s also a chiropractor.
