I'm 15 years old, my height is 168.5, and my weight is 61. I sleep 7-9 hours, eat right, go to the gym, and everything seems to be going well, but my growth isn't going as well as I'd like. I don't know what this is connected to, so I'll even attach a graph of my height:
May 28, 2023 - 149 cm
September 16, 2024 - 161 cm
May 9, 2025 - 166 cm
April 7, 2026 - 168.5
But I took another measurement, I don't remember when, I think it was two months ago (April 7, 2026), maybe a little more, and I was exactly 168 cm.
(By the way, my father is 180 cm, my mother is 164 cm. My grandfather (on my father's side) is >180 cm.
I don't know how to speed up my growth. Is it normal? I'm shorter than my peers, and for me, height is an integral part of my appearance.
I'll soon be going to the endocrinology center, where they probably won't prescribe me growth hormone, but will instead tell me, "Get more sleep, take more vitamin D and calcium."
My priority is to achieve everything naturally, because I don't want to mess around with growth hormone without the supervision of an endocrinologist...
Can you tell me what to do in this case?
(Just to be clear, I'll tell you about my diet: I don't eat lactose-containing foods, potatoes, pasta, or rice (I have skin issues that I want to address with this diet, so I take a metabiotic (Actoflor-s) and a basic skincare routine consisting of various ointments). Basically, my diet looks like this: 200 grams of eggs in the morning, 65 grams of oatmeal, and 1 banana. For lunch and dinner, I have buckwheat/lentils and chicken (ALWAYS ONLY CHICKEN, since it's easiest to count in the fatsecret app (I count it like baked chicken breasts)). I also add fiber wherever possible.
As for supplements, I take: vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D3, psyllium, and creatine)
