Here are the 5 FACTORS AFFECTING GROWTH HORMONE

1. Quality of sleep

This is the most important factor of growth hormone because Up to 80% of the growth hormone is secreted at night, between 11 pm and 1 am.

2. Other Hormones

This could be in the form of trouble falling asleep to hot flashes and night sweats.

3. Detoxification

If the liver is overworking or backed up, you will have trouble falling or staying asleep.

4. Inflammation

Systemic inflammation disrupts cortisol. When cortisol is high at night time it will cause sleep issues.

5. Digestion and Food Timing

Eating late at night forces your digestion to work overtime. As a result, you won’t sleep well and wake up with lower insulin sensitivity
