  • The ALL ME® Podcast Human Growth Hormone (HGH) – Does it work? – Dr. Brad Anawalt / Dr. Andy Hoofnagle The ALL ME Podcast is working hard to provide you with information from the World’s leading experts when it comes to all things Appearance and Performance Enhancing Substance related.   Throughout the year we ask our listeners to send us topics they’d like to learn more about.  Recently we’ve been getting asked a lot about Human Growth Hormone (HGH or GH).  Not only have people written in requesting more information on GH, we have had questions from students following our programs.  In order for us to have the best understanding of these drugs we have gone out and found multiple experts to interview on this topic.  In this podcast you’re going to hear from two brilliant and highly respected Doctors and Researchers in their field. Dr. Brad Anawalt Bradley Anawalt, M.D., is UW Medical Center’s chief of Medicine and a board certified physician at the Endocrine and Diabetes Care Center at UW Medical Center – Roosevelt and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. He is also vice chair of UW's Department of Medicine and a UW professor of General Internal Medicine. He has been selected on local and national lists of "Best Doctors." Dr. Anawalt is an hormone specialist whose clinical interests include thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, male infertility, low testosterone and other hormonal abnormalities. He enjoys answering patients' questions and addressing their concerns. Dr. Anawalt earned his M.D. at UC Davis. His primary research interests are focused on the effects of testosterone in men. He has published widely on this topic. He has served in leadership roles in the Endocrine Society and acts as a consultant for the United States Anti-Doping Agency. Dr. Andy Hoofnagle Andy Hoofnagle, M.D., Ph.D., is a board certified pathologist for Laboratory Medicine at UW Medical Center, head of Clinical Chemistry and a UW professor of Laboratory Medicine. Dr. Hoofnagle's lab uses mass spectrometry in the care of patients. In addition, they are currently investigating the role of high density lipoproteins in protecting patients with chronic kidney disease from atherosclerosis. It is his main goal to provide the most accurate testing for every patient in the UW Medicine healthcare system. He feels his talented medical laboratory scientists are in a league of their own. Dr. Hoofnagle earned his M.D. and Ph.D. from the University of Colorado. His clinical and research interests include clinical chemistry, mass spectrometry, proteomics, metabolomics, vitamin D and high density lipoproteins. Both of these gentlemen are going to take the topic of Human Growth Hormone and break it down to where you’re able to understand what it is, why is prescribed and how it works.  There is a lot of misinformation out there on this topic and these guys do a great job of providing great information as well as debunking many of the HGH myths.

Resources and Links: Websites:  . What are the risks of HGH treatment? HGH treatment might cause a number of side effects for healthy adults, including: ·         Carpal tunnel syndrome ·         Increased insulin resistance ·         Type 2 diabetes ·         Swelling in the arms and legs (edema) ·         Joint and muscle pain ·         For men, enlargement of breast tissue (gynecomastia) ·         Increased risk of certain cancers Clinical studies of HGH treatment in healthy older adults have been relatively small and short in duration, so there's little to no information about the long-term effects of HGH treatment. Example of Acromegaly According to the Mayo Clinic: Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that develops when your pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone during adulthood. When you have too much growth hormone, your bones increase in size. In childhood, this leads to increased height and is called gigantism. But in adulthood, a change in height doesn't occur. Instead, the increase in bone size is limited to the bones of your hands, feet and face, and is called acromegaly. Because acromegaly is uncommon and the physical changes occur slowly over many years, the condition sometimes takes a long time to recognize. Untreated, high levels of growth hormone can affect other parts of the body, in addition to your bones. This can lead to serious — sometimes even life-threatening — health problems. But treatment can reduce your risk of complications and significantly improve your symptoms, including the enlargement of your features.

  • The ALL ME® Podcast Partnership for Clean Competition – Ryan Murphy When it comes to athletes having a level playing field anti-doping plays a major role in sports.  According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary anti-doping is defined “opposing or prohibiting illegal doping (such as blood doping or the use of anabolic steroids or growth hormones) to improve athletic performance.”  In today’s podcast we’re going to talk to Ryan Murphy who is the Executive Director and who leads the efforts of the Partnership for Clean Competition (PCC).  The PCC isn’t a governing body when it comes to anti-doping, but they play a very important role by helping fund projects that give researches and laboratories the very best tools and information to help prevent doping.  As the Executive Director, Ryan plays a key role in making sure that projects within the anti-doping space are being funded, oversees organization strategy and daily operations as well as stays in touch with his Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory Board. If you’re interested in applying for a grant through the PCC it would be best for you to start by reviewing their website:  One of the ways that the PCC is helping spread great information about the world of anti-doping is through the “Anti-Doping Podcast” which the THF was a part of in early 2023. During the interview we talked about some of the projects that the PCC has funded which has helped change the landscape of anti-doping.  One of the tools that we’re going to discuss in this interview is the Tasso Device which makes the blood sample collection a much easier process. As we close out the interview Ryan will talk about the PCC Conference that takes place every two years.  The THF has taken part in many if not most of the conferences since they began years ago.  Anyone who is interested and/or takes part in the anti-doping space should definitely check out the PCC conference in 2025. It was a lot of fun to interview Ryan as he does a great job of explaining all of the facets of work that the PCC takes part in.  We hope you enjoy this interview and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to send us an email or give us a phone call.

PBSCCS is our partner behind our MLB ALL ME® Advisory Board. Together we inspire people to achieve their physical goals the right way. Because of that, we wanted to team up and bring you a series of podcast episodes focusing on a variety of performance topics. In this episode, we talk with Joey Greany, the Major League Strength and Conditioning Assistant for the Tampa Bay Rays. Joey will give us his background within the worlds of baseball and strength and conditioning, while also taking about a topic he is passionate about speed and speed training. During this podcast you will hear Joey talk about the importance of speed training and how it can not only help your own abilities but how it can help your team win.  One of the things I think you will notice is the amount of detail that goes in to working with Professional Baseball players.  He is going to provide a few examples of what someone can do to improve their speed without all of the technology that he has access to for MLB Players.  Years ago people would say to us that if you’re slow, odds are you’re not going to get faster.  Through data and research that is no longer true and you will hear Joey talk about how everyone can improve their speed, even if they’re not a speed demon right now.
