Being Tall Is A Disease? | The Scary Health Risks of Being Tall

Being Tall Is A Disease? | The Scary Health Risks of Being Tall

Y’all, also make sure you subscribe to my newsletter because SO MUCH has happened this week! Between concerts and colonoscopies, it’s been wild lol. Subscribe here to hear more about it: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/

There is a strong connection between your height and your health. And yes, we commonly know the aches and pains and posture problems that come with being tall, but we’re gonna go deeper than that. Like I’m talking about chronic diseases, like bone disease, peripheral neuropathy, and certain cancers. Oof, that sounds scary. And lowkey it is, but we’ll get into that a little bit later.

While we’re on the topic of diseases, apparently, being tall happens to be viewed as a disease, specifically for girls. Yeah, we’re going to get real deep into the health risks of being tall and what this whole “being tall was a disease” thing means, so let’s get into it!

This episode was actually a request from one of you guys! One of you asked if I could do an episode on tall woman diseases, and if I could have a doctor on this episode. So yes, we are talking about diseases tall people are more susceptible to, BUT we don’t have a doctor on this episode lol. However, I will be incorporating TikTok videos of health professionals speaking on this matter.

And this is a good time to provide a disclaimer. This is NOT meant to give medical advice. I am NOT a medical professional. I’m just a tall girl with a microphone who has done some research and is sharing it on the Internet lol.

But before we get into diseases and so forth, let’s talk about something interesting I found.

Apparently, being tall was viewed as a disease??? Back in the day, doctors would give young girls hormones to prevent them from growing to adult height. What’s the deal with that? Tune in to the full episode for more!
