episode description
From over-active pituitary glands that spew growth hormone to mutations in a single gene, we investigate the bio-mechanisms that have caused gigantism. We meet Igor, who owes his 7’ 8” stature to a benign tumour on his pituitary gland. And we meet Sandy, the tallest living woman in the world. At 7’ 7 ¼”, Sandy is an acromegalic giantess, whose has 100 times the growth hormone of an average person, which has sculpted her body in distinct and often painful ways.
