I'm really concerned about my height as I feel it's not enough. I'm 22 now, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to increase it at this age. Could you share some advice or recommend any methods that might help?

While height is mostly determined by genetics and typically stops increasing after the age of 22, you can still focus on improving posture, strengthening your muscles, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Stretching exercises like yoga or pilates may help you appear taller and more confident.

I'm a 45-year-old guy with a pretty sedentary lifestyle since I have a desk job, and I'm dealing with hypothyroidism. My TSH is at 14, T3 is 0.8, and T4 is 5.9. I've been taking Thyronorm 25mg but not very consistently. I dont have a lot of physical symptoms, but I do feel lethargic and just can't seem to get motivated to exercise. Should I think about switching brands or adjusting the dosage? Also, is there a particular time of day that's better for taking this medication? And how often should I be getting my TSH levels checked?
