[New Video]: HGH and The "Permanent Shutdown" Theory
What the reseach ACTUALLY shows
When it comes to hormone therapy, nothing makes people run away faster than hearing the phrase “permanent shutdown”.
At the end of the day, this is what scares most guys away from therapeutic testosterone…
Most men fear once they start taking it and the genie is out of the bottle, they’ll NEVER be able to put it back in.
But this fear isn’t limited to testosterone...
It’s also one of the number one objections I get to using Human Growth Hormone as well.
If you’ve been following Jay Campbell and me, you know we’re both HUGE fans of this stuff.
We’ve long advocated for using small, surgically precise doses to help optimize for long-term health (particularly in aging individuals).
So, what exactly is the deal here?
Does long-term HGH use shutdown your natural function?
Or is this just one more urban legend that’s been floating around the optimization community?
Let’s break it down.
In this video, you’ll learn:
✅ The negative feedback loop of exogenous hormones
✅ The difference between physiological (and surgically precise) vs supraphysiological doses
✅ What healthy growth hormone secretion actually looks like
✅ The current research into exogenous growth hormone use (hint: it’s very reassuring)
✅ How “tapering off” can mitigate a lot of problems
✅ Why growth hormone + testosterone is a “1 + 1 = 3” effect
✅ The role that lifestyle plays in all of this
✅ Why hormones = happiness
And more.
Best,
