At 60 years old, Becca decided to begin a new healthy aging and HGH optimization journey focused on recovery, vitality, energy, and long-term wellness.
Before starting Genotropin injections, comprehensive blood work was completed to establish a baseline and better understand hormone levels, metabolic health, and IGF-1 status, a critical indicator of growth hormone activity and adult growth hormone deficiency.
BECCA’S IGF-1 Blood Test Results Before HGH
One of the most important markers before starting growth hormone replacement therapy is IGF-1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1), which reflects growth hormone activity within the body and provides insights related to the aging process.
IGF-1 Result:
- IGF-1: 121 ng/mL
- Reference Range: 60–207 ng/mL
For a 60-year-old female, this result falls within the normal range, creating an important baseline before beginning HGH optimization with Genotropin to address potential adult growth hormone deficiency.
Additional Health & Hormone Markers
Becca’s blood work also included a full metabolic and hormone panel to assess overall hormone balance and metabolic function, essential factors influenced by human growth hormone and hormone replacement therapy.
Thyroid Markers
- TSH: 2.04
- Free T4: 1.3
- Free T3: 5.0 (slightly elevated)
DHEA Sulfate
- DHEA-S: 234 (above reference range)
Vitamin D
- Vitamin D: 46 ng/mL
Estradiol
- Estradiol: 102 pg/mL
Progesterone
- Progesterone: 34.2 ng/mL
SHBG
- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin: 61 nmol/L
Starting the Journey After 60
Healthy aging is about far more than appearance. Many people over 60 begin focusing on energy, mobility, sleep quality, recovery, body composition, muscle mass, bone mass, and maintaining an active lifestyle through physical activity later in life.
This marks the beginning of Becca’s HGH optimization journey using Genotropin injections, a form of growth hormone replacement therapy designed to improve quality of life by addressing hgh deficiency symptoms such as increased body fat, joint pain, and muscle pain. Future updates are expected to include:
- Follow-up IGF-1 blood test results to monitor hgh levels
- Recovery and energy observations related to muscle development and tissue repair
- Body composition changes including fat metabolism and muscle mass improvement
- Weight and measurement tracking to watch for weight gain or fluid retention
- Lifestyle and fasting updates supporting hormone balance
- Overall healthy aging progress after 60 using hormone replacement therapy
