Yeah, that would call for an unavoidable prescription. It's a very common ailment, particularly in people who have Irish genes.
I am part Irish, British and Welsh.
I never heard that about the genes. I'll still take my handsome looks, blue eyes and Tom Cruise smile, though. My wonderful late wife liked them a lot.
My mother had low thyroid and her heritage was Prussian German. My father was half Welsh and that parent lived to 98 and two sisters lived to 103 and 104. I recently was given the info about the 2 sisters, and at 87 I have now revised my life plan, figuring I have at least 10 active years remaining and perhaps more? Both my parents died at 90, but each had health affecting issues that they refused to confront and improve, or had discovered too late to fix.
