1. Exercise on an empty stomach -- Research has shown that working out on an empty stomach (in a "fasting" state) provides many fitness, muscle building, and fat loss benefits. It forces the body to tap into fat stores for energy while also causing hormonal steroid-like changes (allowing for simultaneous fat burning and muscle preservation/increase).
2. Do high-intensity, low-volume exercise often -- High-intensity cardio exercise and weight training causes the body to pump out extra growth hormone. HIIT-style strength training, where you do only a few "heavy" sets of compound exercises (e.g. squats, rows, deadlifts, presses, etc.), is especially effective at boosting HGH production, even in older people.
3. Drink whey-protein shakes every day -- Scientific research has proven that consuming whey protein can have a very beneficial effect on human hormone levels. A recent study showed that people who do and hour and a half of cardio exercise, then drank a whey protein shake afterwards, then did a session of high-intensity exercise, experienced a huge increase in human growth hormone production
4. Try intermittent fasting -- Eat only during a 6 hour window every day. Once every 7-10 days go for 36-48 hours without eating anything. Occasional fasting can significantly improve overall hormone production, especially when combined with frequent intense exercise. When you do eat, focus on a following a low-carb, high-protein diet that also includes lots of healthy fats/oils. Eat little or no sugar and very little grains/starches.
