What hormone you ask? Human Growth Hormone or HGH. Human growth hormone (HGH) is a protein produced by the pituitary gland. It is considered to be the ‘fountain of youth.’ Here’s a list of roles it plays in the body:

-Conversion of body fat to muscle mass
-Growth of all tissues
-Energy level
-Tissue repair
-Whole body healing
-Cell replacement
-Bone strength
-Brain function
-Sexual function
-Organ health and integrity
-Enzyme production
-Integrity of hair, nails, skin and vital organs

The bottom line? When your body produces less of it (which it will unless you do proactive things to avoid this) you will wither away. When your body produces more of it, you will thrive.

So what happens when your body starts producing more of it? Here’s some results from a study where researches injected it into subjects:
-8.8% increase in muscle mass on average after six months, without exercise
-14.4% loss of fat on average after six months, without dieting
-Higher energy levels
-Enhanced sexual performance
-Regrowth of heart, liver, spleen, kidneys and other organs that shrink with age
-Greater cardiac output
-Superior immune function
-Increased exercise performance
-Better kidney function
-Lowered blood pressure
-Improved cholesterol profile, with higher HDL and lower LDL
-Stronger bones
-Faster wound healing
-Younger, tighter, thicker skin
-Hair regrowth
-Wrinkle removal
-Elimination of cellulite
-Sharper vision
-Mood elevation
-Increased memory retention
-Improved sleep

Obviously, transformetics promotes NATURAL living. Transformetics is also about merging health and fitness. Someone can be very fit and VERY unhealthy at the same time. The opposite is also true. No need for the expensive artificial stuff. Also, flip off the supplement companies and save your money when it comes to HGH promoting supplements. There are specific things you can do to naturally increase these hormones that will far surpass any ‘magic pill.’

WHAT CAN BE DONE TO STIMULATE HGH PRODUCTION?

We don’t need injections to get these benefits however. There are specific ways of training and eating that will NATURALLY, effectively, and cheaply stimulate your body to produce more of it.

Training

Exercise is well established by medical science as one the main ways to stimulate HGH release. That’s what we all have been taught. But not only do you need to exercise, but you need to do it the right way as well. Not just any form of exercise will do.
If you want to get your HGH levels pumping higher (which you do), you need to get the weights out and be going til failure. Weight training and high intensity exercise seem to be the only effective ways to get the pituitary to respond.

So more specifically, to stimulate your body to release more HGH you should be doing the following:
a. going to failure when you lift weights or do any sort of resistance training
b. exercising in ways to promote full ‘body failure.’ Here’s a quick list of ways you can do this:
HIIT (high intensity interval training)
Caveman Training
Sprints
Martial Arts (I personally do Jiu Jitsu)
Circuit Type Training
Crossfit
P90x

As a side note: sorry cardio enthusiast, steady movement doesn’t promote HGH production.

So WHY does BODY FAILURE successfully stimulate HGH production? Well if we look at it from an evolutionary perspective it has to do with: dun dun dunnnnnn SURVIVAL. In a world where danger lurked around every corner, your ability to escape danger was a strong indicator of whether you would live long enough to pass your genes down to the next generation. Avoiding a charging beast to save your life, or surging forward to catch a different beast for dinner hinged on your athletic ability. Your body just wants to LIVE! To survive. Every time an ancient human had to run really really fast, or climb really really high, or lift something really really heavy, the body did it’s job to ensure survival. To ensure survival, it releases HGH as a means to make you a little faster, a little stronger, a little more fit, and little more agile for the next time around.

When you follow the Transformetics training principles, this process will happen.

Whether you’re trying to get big or get small, whether you’re trying to just be healthy and stay young, HGH is the TICKET.

Nutrition

Turn to protein. Protein is one of the most simple alternatives to human growth hormone injections. Studies have confirmed that eating protein, especially as a calorie substitute for refined carbohydrates, elevates the level of growth hormone in the blood by more than almost any other substance. So eat high quality protein foods or use a quality protein powder.

Raising your testosterone levels can happen if you eat the right kinds of foods. Studies have shown that the proteins in eggs and whey allow the adrenal glands to keep the levels of testosterone in the body steady.

Eating fruits and vegetables can also have a positive effect on the levels of hgh in your body. Looks like transformetics nutrition principles win again!

Overall, getting your body to optimize production of HGH is the ticket toward a healthy, fit, vibrant body.
