Two dietary levers consistently linked to elevated IGF-1 are red meat consumption and dietary calcium intake, with calcium especially relevant in a bone-tissue context. Pairing animal protein with calcium-rich foods may compound the effect rather than act through separate pathways. This points to a deliberate animal-protein-forward, calcium-adequate pattern for those optimizing growth-factor signaling.
