alot of it + saying cortisol is soooo bad for u is misleading. Just dont do any crazy anxiety inducing activities (drugs) and dont be in a constant state of anxiety from environment

Constant external stress that is so pervasive it makes it impossible to have a moment of peace. Things like long term starvation or debilitating health concerns could up-regulate your cortisol enough to truly inhibit growth, not just facially.

I'm in constant anxiety in my mind, not environment.

What about constant bad anxiety which persists through the day.

Still no answer, a true answer will get marked by solution.
 
Is it actually backed by science?
“yes, chronic stress is significantly detrimental to physical growth, especially in children, by disrupting hormone production (like growth hormone and igf-1), suppressing bone development, impairing immune function, and altering brain architecture, leading to stunted height and long-term health issues. while acute stress can sometimes be adaptive, prolonged high levels of stress hormones (cortisol) interfere with essential growth processes, redirecting energy and hindering development.”

Your not super smart bro, you state 'high cortisol' from ChatGPT, which is likely referring to an actual cortisol imbalance caused by Cushingson syndrome etc or a medical condition.

“yes, constant stress is significantly detrimental to growth even without a diagnosis of cushing’s syndrome.”
