I break down the human data on HGH (human growth hormone) for anti-aging and performance—what actually improves, what doesn’t, and where it clearly helps (injury recovery and true GH deficiency). I also cover side effects, dosing philosophy (“replacement, not enhancement”), and how to think about HGH in a longevity stack as you age.
Timestamps
0:00 - Intro, goal of the video and who this is for
2:10 - What HGH is and age-related decline (somatotropin refresher)
3:28 - The Rudman 1990 study and “turning back the clock” claims
4:26 - 1994–1996 trials: lean mass up, strength/endurance unchanged
5:00 - 2002 Blackman RCT + meta-analysis: +2 kg lean, −2 kg fat
7:00 - Side effects: edema, joint pain, carpal tunnel, insulin resistance (dose-dependent)
8:38 - Athletic performance evidence: banned in sport, but does it help?
10:06 - WADA/Stanford findings: sprint bump, no strength/endurance gains
12:20 - Injury & healing overview: why HGH could help tissue repair
12:36 - Burn-healing data: faster closure and shorter stays (with hyperglycemia risk)
13:48 - Fracture healing: tibial fracture RCT, closed vs. open outcomes
15:28 - ACL surgery study: better knee extensor strength without bigger muscles
17:02 - Adult GH deficiency (AGHD): signs, causes, quality-of-life impact
18:48 - Early AGHD trials (1989–1990): composition, VO₂, well-being improvements
19:40 - 2000s–today: cardio risk markers, aerobic capacity, long-term outcomes
20:34 - Who benefits most: AGHD/older adults vs healthy/athletes
25:08 - Replacement vs enhancement: practical dosing philosophy
26:00 - Final verdict: where HGH fits in a longevity stack
27:14 - New studio, channel update, and closing thoughts
