Testosterone gives males their characteristics helps increase lean body mass involved in male fertility helps with libidoCopyright - The Living Proof Institute7

Testosterone Inhibiting Factors– high insulin– alcohol– overtraining– estrogenCopyright - The Living Proof Institute8

TestosteroneStimulating Factors– intense exercise (without overtraining)– rest and appropriate sleep– a healthy liverCopyright - The Living Proof Institute9

IGF-1 Inhibiting factors– sugar– poor liver function– heavy greasy fats– constant eatingCopyright - The Living Proof Institute10

IGF-1 Stimulating factors– fasting– exerciseCopyright - The Living Proof Institute11

Adrenaline main fat burning hormone from theadrenals gets the body ready for the stressresponseCopyright - The Living Proof Institute12

Adrenaline Inhibiting Factors– low pulse rate exercises– caffeine and junk foods– too much secretion can downgrade thefat burning function Stimulating Factors– weight lifting and intense exercise– relaxation and sleep– the stress responseCopyright - The Living Proof Institute13

Insulin like GF (IGF-1) Hormone is made by the liver and triggered bygrowth hormone same function as gh deals with cellular energy when you don’t eat mobilizes stored fats when this hormone decreased insulinincreased to compensateCopyright - The Living Proof Institute14

Glucagon Fat burning Hormone does the opposite of insulin works through the liverCopyright - The Living Proof Institute15

glucagon Inhibiting Factors– Sugar– liver damage Stimulating Factors– protein– intense exercise– fastingCopyright - The Living Proof Institute16

Growth Hormone prevents muscle wasting prevents skin from wrinkling prevents joint and bone breakdown helps a child grow fat burning hormone made by the pituitary but works via the liver involved in sleep cyclesCopyright - The Living Proof Institute17
