WE NEED TO LEARN TO MANIPULATE LIFE, TO GIVE US THE RESULTS WE WANT, BY ADDING AS MUCH SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE TO OUR ARSENAL AS POSSIBLE
‘I have yet to see any strong science or evidence that would cause me to believe otherwise and Layne’s article and the scientific studies he utilizes doesn’t disprove this theory’
A comment from my video challenging the research Dr. Bio Layne Norton used in his ‘Growth Hormone: Great Expectations’ article:
If you’ve been following my Journey over the last several years you will know that I’ve been quite fascinated with the concept of Natural Growth Hormone Levels in men, it’s effects on the human body and whether or not we can manipulate certain factors in our lives to naturally increase GH and if so, does it benefit us long term in regards to muscle growth?
Basically, does elevating natural growth hormone levels in the body help with muscle growth? Should we be focusing on trying to increase it naturally or is it a waste of our time?
Over the years I’ve had people challenge this concept and even try to justify that Growth Hormone doesn’t affect muscle growth at all! Take for instance:
Going back and forth on this topic in a recent discussion on Twitter, Stuart Phillips (Ph.D Professor at McMaster University) & Brett Chrest (BU Biomedical Science Major/Pre Med. Research Assistant at Brandon University) both shared Dr. Bio Layne Norton’s article on Growth Hormone (https://www.biolayne.com/articles/supplementation/growth-hormone-great-expectations/) in an effort to ‘squeeze my mind out of this GH centered paradigm’ but after analyzing the article and the scientific studies Layne Norton uses I found that he cherry picked data, manipulated verbiage and mislead people in the article in order to make these claims leading me to create this video ‘Why You Can’t Trust Dr. Bio Layne Norton’:
What do you think? Can Dr. Bio Layne Norton be trusted when he utilizes WEAK science like this in an effort to justify claims in regards to health and fitness advice?
Personally, I don’t believe he has enough or really any scientific evidence to concretely discuss anything in regards to how NATURALLY ELEVATED LEVELS OF GROWTH HORMONE in the male body affects or doesn’t affect muscle growth LONG TERM and by making such a claim based on scientific evidence that focuses on supplementation which he cherry picked data for by using studies with men +65 years old to cover ‘all healthy individuals’ along with the other misleading data in his article proves why we can’t trust Dr. Bio Layne Norton!
