The Hormone that Dominates and Divides PLUS Identifying Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency
with Guest Dr. Carole Hooven, PhD - Dustin Baker
Through riveting personal stories and the latest research, Harvard evolutionary biologist Carole Hooven shows how testosterone drives the behavior of the sexes apart and how understanding the science behind this hormone is empowering for all. PLUS The definition of Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency on the Cedar Sanai website sounds very much like what we call aging. Even though we are older and technically stopped growing, growth hormone plays an important role in healthy muscle, how our bodies collect fat (especially around the stomach area), the ratio of high density to low density lipoproteins in our cholesterol levels and bone density. In addition, growth hormone is needed for normal brain function. Go to http://shrnetwork.biz/biopro and use SHR30 for $30 off.

Show Notes:
The Hormone that Dominates and Divides
[00:03:22] Dr Carole explains what the title of her book “The story of testosterone, the hormone that dominates and divides us” – mean.
[00:04:33] The discussion turns to the diverse levels of testosterone found in various different women.
[00:10:13] Dr Carole talks about why testosterone has been demonized of late.
[00:18:49] This follows into the fact that testosterone has served men well from an evolutionary perspective.
[00:23:00] Listen to an interesting conversation on the difference (if any) in libido between males and females.
[00:26:30] Dr Carole clarifies and defines the type of sex women want as opposed to men.
[00:36:29] Dr Carole replies to Carl’s question - is there any evidence that there are some negative things about testosterone?
[00:37:13] The discussion continues into the subject of men with high testosterone levels taking bigger risks and being better physical competitors.
[00:41:24] This segues into evolution and natural selection due to reproduction of the strongest genes in the animal kingdom, what happens in human though? – tune in.
[00:46:13] Carl shares some historical information. Dr Carole joins in and shares her point of view.
[00:53:16] The importance of diet and exercise and the preferred types of each for testosterone balance or improvement, is next on the agenda.
[01:00:10] Carl talks to Dr Carole about a fascinating phenomenon he learned about regarding today’s hunter gatherer populations – remarkably interesting!
Identifying Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency
[00:18:00] Carl shares some of the symptoms (by Cedar Sinai) of adult growth hormone deficiency.
[01:20:16] Dustin shares the history of BioPro+.
[01:21:50] Carl talks about the changes in the body when taking “frank” growth hormone. Dustin joins in by sharing how growth hormone actually works.
[001:24:02] Several neurological issues that happen as we age, can be tied to lower IGF-1.
[01:24:36] Dustin and Carl speak on nutrition that is good for IGF-1 as well as testosterone production.
[01:25:36] IGF-1 and IGF-binding protein 3 is how you test for human growth hormone.
[01:28:15] BioPro+ works extremely well for connective tissue disorders. There is a lot of science behind IGF-1 and its ability to regrow and heal any type of soft tissue, ligaments, and tendons.
[01:28:45] Dustin expounds on the relationship between human growth hormone and testosterone levels.
[01:30:36] Both Carl and Dustin share their views on peptides vs HGH.
