There is no secret that stress can hinder IGF-1 levels.
For context, growing up I am from a middle-class background, which has enabled me to have access to the best possible nutrition or good nutrition per se. Additionally, I have been genuingly happy and away from stress as a younger boy - until the age of 16.
At 16 years old, I became stressed due to a bully threatening to leak a video of me saying the n-word. Meaning, I worried for 8 months straight about it, but I was still able to go to school and get on with my life. But, this thought in my head meant that no holiday was fun whatsoever and I couldn't properly relax.
Later, in the summer for 4 months + I was significantly lower stress and began to enjoy life for the first time in ages.
However, the start of the school year has meant the same threat of the video of me saying the n-word has come back in my head. Despite me having some on and off moments, it has been characterised with panic attacks and anxiety. But, I have had super good nutrition and sleeping 8-9 hours on average. Most likely 9 hours+.
Additionally, school has been super stressful alongside my house as my parents have split up and have had arguments etc.
Did I stunt my growth if I am now 179cm at 17.4 years and my Mum is 170 and my Dad 171/172.
