DEFY genes: How to grow taller at ANY age! (watch before TOO LATE!)

Summary

This video script explores methods to enhance height growth beyond genetics and puberty. It emphasizes the importance of mechanical and hormonal stress on bones, referencing Wolf's Law and the impact of bodybuilding on bone density. The speaker shares tips for optimizing sleep and hormone levels, including growth hormone and testosterone, through diet, sunlight, exercise, and fasting. They also suggest specific exercises like cycling and using ankle weights before sleep to induce bone growth, aiming to add several inches to one's height within the first year.

Takeaways

• 🌱 Growing taller after puberty is possible through a combination of methods that can 'hack' height growth beyond genetics.
• 🦴 Bones can be reshaped and grow through the application of stress, which can be either mechanical or hormonal, as explained by Wolf's Law.
• 💪 Bodybuilders have thicker bones due to the constant mechanical stress from weightlifting, which is an example of how stress can affect bone growth.
• 🛌 Optimizing sleep is crucial for the release of growth hormone, which is most effective during deep sleep and when blood insulin and glucose levels are low.
• 🚫 Avoid eating 2 hours before sleep to ensure optimal growth hormone release and tissue repair.
• 🔆 Reducing blue light exposure 3 hours before sleep can improve sleep quality and hormone release.
• 🏃‍♂️ Sprinting exercises can stimulate the release of growth hormone, as can resistance training and lifting weights until failure.
• ☀️ Sunlight is important for boosting testosterone and dopamine, and should be incorporated into daily routines for better hormone levels.
• 🥚 A diet high in protein is essential for promoting growth hormones, and natural, nutrient-dense foods should be prioritized.
• 🚴‍♂️ Cycling can induce mechanical stress on the legs, promoting growth through micro-fractures and subsequent bone remodeling.
• 🏋️‍♀️ Using ankle weights and hanging legs off the bed can apply gravitational force to the shin bone, encouraging vertical bone growth.

Q & A

Is it true that you cannot grow taller after puberty due to genetics?

While genetics play a significant role in determining height, the script suggests that there are ways to potentially increase height beyond genetics and puberty through various methods.

What is the difference between mechanical stress and hormonal stress in terms of bone growth?

Mechanical stress refers to the physical pressure applied to bones, such as through exercise, which can reshape and strengthen them. Hormonal stress involves the influence of hormones like growth hormone on bone development.

Can you explain the concept of Wolf's Law mentioned in the script?

Wolf's Law is a principle from the 19th century stating that bones in a healthy animal will adapt to the loads placed upon them, becoming stronger over time to resist such loads. This principle is used to justify the idea of bone growth through applied stress.

How does the size difference in Devon Larratt's arms demonstrate the impact of stress on bone growth?

Devon Larratt's larger arm size is attributed to the constant stress from arm wrestling, illustrating how mechanical stress can lead to bone growth and changes in bone structure.

What are the two conditions necessary for the regular secretion of growth hormone according to the script?

The two conditions are achieving slow wave sleep, also known as deep sleep, and maintaining relatively low blood insulin and glucose levels.

How can you optimize your sleep to maximize the release of growth hormone?

Optimizing sleep involves not eating 2 hours before going to sleep, blocking blue light exposure 3 hours before sleep, and potentially using supplements like magnesium and ashwagandha to improve sleep quality.

What types of exercises are suggested in the script to increase growth hormone levels?

The script suggests sprints as a form of high-intensity interval training, as well as resistance training four to five times a week, including lifting heavy weights for 6 to 9 repetitions until failure.

How does sunlight affect hormone levels, and why is it important for growth?

Sunlight is crucial as it boosts testosterone and dopamine levels, contributing to a positive mood and potentially aiding in growth by influencing hormone production.

What dietary recommendations are made in the script for promoting growth?

The script recommends a diet high in protein with good sources like eggs, fish, red meat, poultry, and dairy. It also advises avoiding soy and other estrogenic plant-based proteins and maintaining a lean body for better growth potential.

Can you describe the mechanical stress method of cycling mentioned in the script for post-puberty growth?

The method involves using a stationary cycling machine with the seat adjusted to stretch the legs while cycling. Gradually increasing the seat height weekly and combining this with optimized hormone levels and other physical activities can potentially lead to height increase.

How do ankle weights and hanging legs off the bed frame contribute to height growth according to the script?

Ankle weights stretch the bones, and hanging legs off the bed frame applies gravitational force, which, when combined with cycling and other vigorous activities, can create micro-fractures in the shin bone, leading to vertical bone growth according to Wolf's Law.
