What Too Much Growth Hormone Does To Your Body

About this video

Seeds explains acromegaly, a condition of sustained excess growth hormone, for a general audience. He describes visible changes he associates with it, including abnormal bone growth and prominence around the brow, hands, and joints, and a distinctive abdominal shape. He then connects continuous growth hormone secretion to insulin resistance and to the kinds of kidney and metabolic problems seen in diabetes, arguing that constant exposure is abnormal for the cell even if growth hormone has normal roles in pulses. His teaching method is to keep asking what is going wrong inside the cell, and he frames chronic excess as setting the body up for premature ageing.

Key takeaways

• Sustained hormone excess differs fundamentally from normal, pulsed signalling
• Seeds links chronic growth hormone excess to insulin resistance and metabolic strain
• Ask what is happening at the cellular level, not just what the surface signs are
• Visible bone and joint changes are presented as late, structural consequences
