I'm a 24-year-old woman, and I'm about 5 feet tall. I'm really hoping to add a little extra height, maybe even 2 inches if possible. I've heard exercise might help, but I'm curious if there are any healthy alternatives. My parents aren't very tall either, so I feel like this might be a genetic issue. Is there any chance for growth at 24, or am I out of luck? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've been hitting the gym consistently for the past couple of months and can definitely feel myself getting stronger. But I've been reading online and I'm worried I might have low testosterone since a lot of the symptoms match what I've been experiencing. How do I go about testing my testosterone levels? Also, is there any medication to boost testosterone that wont come with major side effects? Just so you know, I've got hypertension and I'm overweight, though I've been shedding some pounds slowlycurrently at 88 kgs and I'm 5ft 7inches.
To test your testosterone levels, consult an endocrinologist who will recommend a blood test, typically taken in the morning when testosterone levels are highest, and may also perform a physical exam and review your medical history; if diagnosed with low testosterone, treatment options may include testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) via gels, patches, or injections, but be aware that TRT may have side effects, such as acne, sleep apnea, or prostate issues; given your hypertension and weight status, lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, weight loss, and stress management, can also help boost testosterone levels naturally.

I'm really worried about my sister. She's been experiencing dizziness quite frequently in the past 78 months, and it's getting more common now. We went to see a doctor and did all her blood tests, and everything is normal except her Vitamin D levels, which are lower than they should be. She's 33 years old. I'm wondering if there are any symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency other than dizziness we should be aware of?
Yes, Vitamin D deficiency can cause symptoms beyond dizziness, including fatigue, muscle weakness, joint pain, mood changes (depression, anxiety), headaches, and cognitive impairment,
