Are Your Genes Making You Fat and Sick?

Are Your Genes Making You Fat and Sick?

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Levels. You may be surprised to learn that your lifestyle and food choices are much better indicators of your health and weight than your genes. While it is true that some genes can predispose you to obesity, type 2 diabetes, or heart disease, predisposition is not predestination. In fact, 90 percent of our current health is controlled by the environment in which we bathe our genes—the food we eat, our exercise regimen, our resilience in the face of stress, and our exposure to environmental toxins. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about how your diet and lifestyle influence your genes and my top strategies for weight loss and optimal health. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Levels. Access more than 3,000 specialty lab tests with Rupa Health.
