Exercise is probably the best way to boost IGF-1 levels, as it also appears to "push" IGF-1 to the brain to improve its function.
There are two main forms of exercise that you need to engage in if you want to increase your IGF-1 levels high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance training.
Research shows that resistance training (also known as strength training or weight training) significantly increases IGF-1 and increases the bioavailability of IGF-1 (73).
Intense and strenuous HIIT workouts cause a significant increase in circulating levels of IGF-1 (74).
Besides increasing IGF-1, exercise can also induce autophagy in the brain, increase dopamine and BDNF, and increase blood flow to the brain.
That's why many doctors and researchers recommend exercise as their number one piece of advice for optimal brain health
