You need to know that HGH stimulates the release of IGF-1, but IGF-1 decreases the amount of HGH release through negative feedback. Insulin also blunts the release of HGH, so you need to eat carbohydrates lower on the glycemic index so insulin isn't spiked. However, insulin also makes the liver more sensitive to HGH. So you would want to first raise HGH levels, then consume some carbohydrates to raise insulin so that it makes the liver more sensitive.







For insulin sensitivity, do intermittent fasting and regular exercise, that way the body's cells responds better to it.







The order you want to do it in the day is to wake up and expose yourself to the sunlight for 10-15 minutes for the circadian rhythm (helps with sleep and noctural GH release), then follow through with the rest of your routine consisting of high intensity interval exercise, eating about 30-90 minutes afterwards with carbs to raise insulin, which makes the liver more sensitive to HGH, that way more IGF-1 is released. An example of a post workout meal could be:



Proteins:

Either salmon, a cut of beef steak, chicken breasts or thighs



Healthy fats:

Either fatty fish (like salmon) including sardines and mackerel, eggs, and avocados.



Starches:

Either sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, quinoa, or buckwheat groats.



You can add on to any of these depending on your goals and maintenance (I'd suggest kiwis as fruit).

If there's anything I got wrong or other things I should've added let me know.
