hormonal abnormalities have been corrected. Fixing other hormone problems
alone can boost growth hormone levels by 20 to 50 percent.
If, however, you truly are deficient and start to take HGH, you can really say
hello to a perfect 10 body. Taking growth hormone is not just about being fit or
wrinkle-free without botox. The benefits of growth hormone supplementation
include increased energy, increased sex drive, improved vision, reduced body
fat, increased muscle mass, strengthened immune system, lowered cholesterol,
restored deep-sleep patterns, and much, much more. For more information on
growth hormone, read Grow Young with HGH by Dr. Ronald Klatz . Dr. Klatz
was the first to shed light on the importance of HGH to the world, and he brings
it into the spotlight in this sensational book.
Cortisol
You eliminated sugar and refined carbs once you adopted the Perfect 10 Diet, but
you might still feel stressed or emotional, or might even sometimes feel your
heart pounding in your chest. These are symptoms of a high cortisol level.
Cortisol is the only hormone that goes up as we age. Total blood cortisol levels
are around 180 ng/mL between 8 and 9 a.m., and around 45 ng/mL between 4
and 8 p.m. A random blood test, administered whenever your appointment at the
doctor’s office happens to be, may not be accurate. The best way to measure
cortisol is to do a saliva test at various times during the day. If you have high
levels, you may be stressed out. If you have low levels, your adrenals have
burned out. Remember, cortisol is a stress hormone that gives you energy, so to
check for cortisol, the test must be done in sedentary conditions. This means no
intense activity, driving in heavy traffic, or vigorous exercise for 24 hours before
the test.
Lowering your cortisol level can be tough if you’re always stressed.
Implement the suggestions that I discussed earlier, because a de-stressed mind
can lead to a perfect 10 killer body. Some research suggests that phospahtidyl
serine (PS) can be helpful. PS, which is a phospholipid consisting of a lipid
attached to an amino acid and an L-serine molecule, is present in every cell of
your body. Taking 300 milligrams of PS as a supplement can suppress your
cortisol level considerably. A dose of 50 milligrams or 100 milligrams a day of
5-hydroxy tryptophan may also help. If you feel anxious or can’t deal with
stress, you may not have enough cortisol. It is possible your adrenals have
burned out and you need cortisol. You need to relax and take vitamins and
adrenal extract.
