Overcome the Genetic Excuse with Everyday Control

Identify your inherited risk honestly. Note any close relatives with diabetes, heart disease, or infertility. Use this as motivation, not discouragement.

Focus on controllable factors. Prioritize physical activity, smart nutrition, and regular checkups. Design routines that make the right choice the easy one.

Tune out negative self-talk about fate. Catch yourself when blaming genes for stuck progress. Remind yourself daily change shapes outcomes far more than genetics alone.
