This episode takes a deep dive into IGF-1, or insulin-like growth factor one, a peptide at the center of growth, repair, and regeneration in the human body. You’ll learn how IGF-1 works alongside growth hormone, its role in building muscle, protecting the brain, supporting healing, and influencing aging. We’ll also cover the potential benefits, the risks, and why balance is key when it comes to this powerful growth factor.
