No doubt by now you’ve already heard me speak of what I call the ‘fountain-of-youth’ hormone, Growth hormone, simply known as GH or hGH. This hormone is primarily secreted during our deepest phase of sleep and is responsible for things like tissue repair and growth, and promotes lean body mass. It literally heals your body, and combats aging. There is also another hormone that promotes muscle repair and growth, lean body mass, enhances physical performance, and increases libido. If you haven’t guessed already, I’m talking about testosterone. Primarily produced in the testes, of course we men have significantly higher levels than women, but, women also make testosterone by way of their adrenal glands, (Just like men also produce estrogen). And, testosterone is in fact, what causes increased sexual desire in both men and women, so both can benefit from testosterone production. But testosterone is very much a part of why we are so different from women, physically and psychologically. Not only do men produce much higher levels of testosterone, but we have many more T-receptor sites in our bodies as well, whereas women have many more estrogen receptor sites.
