As we get older, the pituitary slows down its production of growth hormone. This process can begin when we are in
our thirties. By the time we reach our forties and fifties, the body starts to feel the impact of such growth hormone
deficiency. You might notice one or more of these indications of low growth hormone levels:
=> It becomes more difficult to maintain your desired weight through diet, exercise, and healthy habits. Even
people who were always “naturally thin” find that the pounds pack on and do not want to leave. As a result, you
might feel frustrated. You could also feel depressed and have low self-esteem.
=> Some people report that when their HGH levels were low, they woke up tired and had to crawl through their
day, using caffeine and sugar for energy to get their work done. Having to rely on these substances can make it
harder to control your weight.
=> Lack of motivation. There was a time when your work excited you. You felt as if you could take on the world.
You built your business or profession through hard work and looked forward to continued success. Now, your low
energy levels might take a toll on your ability to remain competitive in your field. You need to get your vitality and
enthusiasm back before your peers catch up and pass you.
=> It takes longer to recover from your workouts. Strenuous exercise begins to make you feel wiped out instead of
energized. You still feel tired the next day. Also, to add insult to injury, your time at the gym does not get you the
same results that it used to. You are not building as much lean muscle as before.
=> Your physique can change from a trim, lean profile to a flabby one with little muscle tone and sagging, droopy
skin. You look in the mirror and do not see the person whom you think of as yourself.
