The Genetic-Lifestyle Enigma: Deciphering the True Guardian of Our Health

Genetics, the mysterious code of life, often gets labeled as a deterministic force, a fixed script we’re born to enact. It’s true that genes play a pivotal role in predisposing us to certain diseases. From the color of our eyes to our susceptibility to conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and even mental health disorders, our DNA holds significant sway. But here’s where it gets provocative: Is it fair to resign to a fatalistic view, accepting our genetic makeup as the unchangeable dictator of our health? Absolutely not. The notion that we’re mere puppets to our genetic strings is not just oversimplified, but it’s scientifically flawed. This is one of the reasons I became a DNA Coach! You see, back in 2009 when I was 38 years old I suffered a mini-stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). I was seemingly healthy but I was battling Lyme disease and didn’t know it. However, Lyme disease alone doesn’t explain why I had a stroke. Many people who suffer from Lyme disease get all kinds of symptoms and those symptoms have a lot to do with your genes, in terms of how Lyme disease expresses itself within your body. I saw many doctors and none of them had an answer as to why I had a stroke at 38 when my lifestyle was far healthier than most.  <a href="https://medium.com/@petermarinoscience/the-genetic-lifestyle-enigma-deciphering-the-true-guardian-of-our-health-f6a624b870b2">Learn More</a>
