Ways to Increase Growth Hormone Release
57:57 - 1:06:49 (08:52)
Delta wave activity & slow wave activity in the brain are important for growth hormone release, which helps with metabolic functions, fat loss, and tissue repair. Meditation practice and melatonin supplements can increase this growth hormone release by helping to achieve deep sleep with delta wave activity.

Summary
The delta wave and slow wave activity in the brain are essential for growth hormone release, which is critical for metabolic functions, repairing tissues, and peeling away unwanted body fat. Micrograms of melatonin can improve early night sleep towards slow wave deep sleep delta activity, boosting growth hormone release.

Summary
Exercise, particularly weight training and endurance training limited to about 60 minutes, can have a dramatic effect on levels of growth hormone release both during waking hours and during sleep. The greatest growth hormone response is usually seen when an individual warms up before exercise, consumes amino acids such as arginine, and engages in high-intensity interval training.
