The 60s and 70s look different from today — and two hormones play a big role: HGH (1980s adoption) and IGF-1 (mainstreamed later, in the 2000s). Want to know what each does, why they behave so differently with glucose and insulin, and when combining them actually makes physiological sense?

Quick hits from my new article:

  • GH = upstream orchestrator; IGF-1 = local anabolic executor
  • GH can be diabetogenic; IGF-1 is insulin-like and helps preserve sensitivity
  • Combined GH + IGF-1 often improves protein anabolism and fat oxidation more than either alone
  • Practical, clearly labeled protocols for bodybuilding and long-term HRT

Short on time? Read the protocols at the bottom. If you want depth, the article explains mechanisms and connective-tissue benefits too.
👉 GH and IGF-1


Would love to hear short experiences: did anyone notice joint relief on GH before muscle gains showed?
