Is Human Growth Hormone The Fountain of Youth?
Too Cool For Midlife
12/25/19 • 21 min
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is one of the hottest new trends in the world of anti-aging, with products out there promising to boost your body's production of HGH, turning back the clock on aging...less joint pain, better sleep, looking younger. (you get the picture)
A little skeptical but still hopeful, Darcie sits down with Dr. Kim Trager and Candace Lawrence, Too Cool For Midlife's on staff "ninja-fairy" truth seekers, to get the skinny on HGH. They discuss whether it is the anti-aging magic pill, and if any of the product on the market is useful and worth investing in.
About Dr. Kim Trager and Candace Lawrence:
Kim and Candace, vitality pioneers, specialize in helping women feel better faster. They offer real solutions for health-related issues that hold women back from reaching their full potential. These two brilliant practitioners have spent the past 25 years changing women's lives. They are fun, approachable and they know their shit.
Recipes & Chocolate recommendations: You can find the delicious (and surprisingly healthy) recipes from our very own Candace Lawrence HERE. And when choosing dark chocolate, two of the most important things to look for are 1) 70% cacao or higher 2) NO soy lecithin, which unfortunately MOST chocolates do contain. We recommend one bar that is the cleanest, organic, and most delicious dark chocolates that passes the test, HU Chocolates.
Human Growth Hormone product update: Since taping this episode, Dr. Trager and Candace Lawrence have completed their testing of HGH product mentioned, and no product tested to date has shown more promise than natural approaches discussed in this podcast.
