The preventative or restorative strategy focused on slowing the rate and reducing the negative functional consequences of the age-related decline in growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) secretion, known as somatopause. Mitigation is a less aggressive approach than full correction, emphasizing the use of lifestyle factors, targeted nutritional support, and mild secretagogues to preserve the somatotropic axis function. This intervention is a key component of anti-aging and longevity protocols.
Origin
This term, like somatopause correction, is rooted in the recognition of age-related GH decline. “Mitigation” specifically implies a strategy of lessening the severity or impact of this decline rather than attempting a complete reversal to peak youthful levels. It is a concept often applied in a wellness context where less intensive, preventative measures are preferred.
Mechanism
Somatopause mitigation involves interventions that naturally support the pulsatile release of endogenous growth hormone. Strategies include optimizing sleep architecture, as GH secretion is highest during deep sleep, and implementing specific exercise protocols, particularly high-intensity interval training. Certain amino acids and nutritional supplements can also enhance the natural release of GH from the pituitary, thereby reducing the severity of the somatopause-related decline in anabolic signaling.
Biomarkers supporting wellness accommodation are measurable shifts in the HPG and HPA axes, alongside metabolic and inflammatory markers, signaling a need for targeted biochemical recalibration.
