Growth hormone therapy Irvine

The youth, strength, and vigor we feel when we are in our teens, 20s, and 30s, can in part be attributed to high levels of human growth hormone (HGH) during these decades.  Unfortunately, HGH peaks in our 30s and decline about 15% every decade after age 30. Many patients age 50 or above will benefit from growth hormone therapy.  Symptoms of low HGH include:

• Fatigue
• Belly fat
• Weight gain
• Muscle loss
• Bone loss
• Sleep problems, insomnia

Growth hormone declines with age.  Since growth hormone is an important fat-burning hormone, this decline of growth hormone can contribute to belly fat and weight gain as you age.  Stress also depletes your growth hormone.  This is another mechanism by which stress can worsen your belly fat and weight gain.  

Growth hormone is released only at night while you are sleeping.  This is why low growth hormone can have drastic effect on your ability to fall asleep and your sleep quality.  This disruption in sleep associated with low growth hormone can cause daytime fatigue and sedation.  Growth hormone therapy has been shown in many studies to improve sleep onset and the quality of sleep, so you can feel more alert and rested when you wake in the morning.   

If you are having fatigue, belly fat, weight gain, it is important that you have your growth hormone level checked.  Unfortunately, conventional doctors are not trained in anti-aging and do not test for growth hormone level in adults.  It is important for you to see a functional medicine doctor and hormone specialist like Dr. Van to get the FUNCTIONAL lab testing you need to check your growth hormone level.
