## Description

Have you ever wished to walked through a machine and change your body completely at a push of a button? Is this dystopian or can we really change our bodies? In this episode, Dr. Tina Lasisi walks us through the types of muscles we can change in our body,  hormones that affect our height, and dispel the myth that we are "built different" across races.

"Why am I like this?" is a show hosted by biological anthropologist Tina Lasisi, and produced by STEMedia, that dives deep into evolutionary biology to explain some of our existentialism or everyday questions about our body.
