hey guys today we’re going to talk about

muscle growth growth hormone and

carbohydrates a lot of times you’ll hear

to build muscle you need to be in a high

carb diet I’m gonna give you some data

on this topic but first I need to

explain what growth hormone does and

this is all based on guidance physiology

ok I’ll give the references down below

and you can check it out so what does

growth hormone do first of all you need

to know it’s produced by the pituitary

ok now a lot of hormones are made by the

pituitary hormones that control the

thyroid the adrenal the gonads okay and

those hormones from the pituitary go

right to those glands okay

growth hormone does work for the liver

but it is unique in that it doesn’t just

go to the liver to influence the hormone

called insulin like growth factor it can

go to all of your cells okay because it

has a lot of different effects here are

the main effects number one it enhances

amino acid transport through your cells

because growth hormone is all about

protein growth and producing proteins in

the body number two it enhances

ribosomes what’s a ribosome well it is a

little machine in your cell that makes

certain proteins from amino acids okay

so it’s kind of like a little carpenter

shop where you take the wood and you put

it together and you build things right

well the wood is the amino acid and the

actual finished product that you’re

building is a protein the body cuz I

don’t know it could be a hair it could

be a neurotransmitter it could be a

muscle cell and number two relates to

number three which which basically is

about enhancing the DNA going into the

RNA the DNA are the blueprints so if

you’re gonna build something in your

carpenter shop you need blueprint right

you need the raw material to which are

the amino acids but you also need to

plan so can the blueprints well growth

hormone causes the copying of the master

blueprint which is the DNA to a copy of

that and that’s called RNA so there’s

these little tiny little machines that

are unwinding the DNA and making copies

of that and producing

RNA and it’s interesting because the

little mechanism that unwinds this

strand goes so fast it’s the speed of a

jet engine I mean it’s incredibly fast

it’s fascinating so we have the

blueprint that then helps you make the

protein okay number four it decreases

catabolism okay now what is that this is

a state where you’re breaking down

protein from the body so you have

catabolic effects which are breakdown

effects and you have anabolic effects

which are a building up effect but

growth hormone is a protein spare which

means it protects you against the

breakdown of protein now there are other

hormones that K that create a breakdown

of tissue that would be cortisol in this

book right here

the endocrine book Cushing’s syndrome

you can see that high levels of cortisol

will start eating up your protein

especially in your thigh muscle and your

thigh and then also in your butt and

then it converts that to fat okay but

growth hormones different growth hormone

protects you against this situation

number five it enhances all aspects of

fat utilization okay whereas the protein

synthesis occurs within minutes after

growth hormone spikes the enhancement of

fat utilization because your body is now

going to be running on fatty acids

occurs several hours later it’s kind of

delayed and I’ll show you right in this

book right here this is right here

therefore under the influence of growth

hormone fat is utilized for energy in

preference to both carbohydrates and

proteins so with growth hormone the fuel

that’s driving that is the fat that’s

being burned okay and that relates to

number six which growth hormone

decreases the rate of glucose

utilization by yourselves

so it basically blocks the use of

glucose okay we’ll come back to that a

little bit later okay at number seven

create a ketogenic effect why because

it’s mobilizing all this fat

the fats going through the liver it’s

making ketones as well so the body’s

running on two types of fuel mainly it’s

going to be fatty acids and also ketones

okay that’s the fuel source okay so now

let me go into the next part okay so the

question is do any carbs to make protein

okay well here’s the data growth hormone

fails to cause growth in animals lacking

a pancreas okay so you do need insulin

you need normal amounts of insulin to

make proteins in the body but you don’t

need excessive amounts and here’s the

problem 60% of the population has

something called insulin resistance and

when you have insulin resistance you

have blood sugar issues you’re kind of

like a pre-diabetic you can’t go long

periods of time without getting hungry

in this situation typically you have

high levels of insulin but you also have

symptoms of low insulin because it’s

dysfunctional because insulin resistance

blocks the ability for that

intracellular function to work when you

do carbo-loading you worsen insulin

resistance because the body is trying to

protect itself against too much insulin

okay so it just shuts down the cell the

other thing you need to know is that

growth hormone stimulates the release of

insulin as well and this is why one of

the side effects of growth hormone is

diabetes but not from your body making

it it’s from people who actually take it

externally like you’re gonna take human

growth hormone you’re gonna inject it as

an anti-aging thing so basically you

need normal amounts of insulin but you

don’t need excessive amounts okay

because when your insulin resistance you

can’t really absorb the amino acid in

the cell regardless of consuming more

protein in the diet or consuming more

carbs it doesn’t work now what elevates

growth hormone fasting fasting has a

potential to increase growth hormone by

one to two thousand percent okay intense

exercise will boost growth hormone but

you have to make sure that you rest in

between throughout the week so you don’t

overtrain high-quality deep sleep will

enhance

growth hormone trauma will enhance

growth hormone but of course your body’s

in repair mode that’s a different

situation so I don’t suggest you go get

in a car accident to try to stimulate

your growth hormone that would be a very

bad idea okay

arginine okay which is an amino acid

that has the potential to increase

growth from low blood sugar okay so in

other words keeping your blood Sugar’s

from going too high can enhance growth

hormone okay now one of the things that

inhibit growth from eating too

frequently no exercise insomnia having

high levels of stress and high levels of

cortisol not having enough protein in

the diet but excessive protein does not

stimulate growth hormone okay I just

realize growth hormone is the main

hormone that helps you with your your

protein metabolism and consuming large

amounts of protein has not been found to

enhance that hormone okay but you need

moderate amounts of protein and you

definitely don’t want to do a low

protein diet you want to just do

moderate amounts so that would be

between three to six to sometimes eight

ounces of protein in a given meal okay

and then high levels of sugar I mean

look at it I bet ik they usually always

have problems with their muscle

metabolism they had atrophy because of

this situation right here

why because high sugar causes more

insulin resistance alright guys that’s

it that’s a wrap I’ll see you next time
