Do you ever look at your family's health patterns and wonder how much is written in your genes and how much is drawn by lifestyle choices? Maybe you've noticed the similarity in weight issues across generations and questioned if it's more than just shared DNA. In this episode, I'm diving into genetics and the environment when it comes to being overweight, especially in children.
This episode is for you if you're a parent grappling with the complexities of creating a healthy home environment or simply someone curious about how much power we have to shape our health destiny. Join me as we explore how adopting smarter lifestyle choices can buck the trend despite our genetic hand and how the responsibility we hold today can ripple positively into the health of future generations.
In this episode, you will:
- Discover the role parents play in shaping their children's health
- Uncover the significance of the food industry, societal norms, and the 'obesogenic' environment as contributing factors to obesity.
- Understand how genes and environment collaboratively affect children's health outcomes.
