Don’t Blame your Genes If You Don’t Fit Into Your Jeans

Your genetics play a very small role in determining who you are.  Sorry to take that “get out of jail free card” away form you but the facts of the literature have spoken and your genes may determine your eye color but they have very little to do with your pant size, your heart health, your diabetes, your cancer, or almost any other aspect of your health.  What does control your health outcome?... [Read more]
