Yes and no. Your genes give your body the blueprint for construction. Some genes are like light switches that get turned on or off. Your family history will indicate which possible diseases are most likely to present when there is imbalance. However, simply because you may carry the gene does not necessarily mean that the gene will get turned on and come into play. There are many lifestyle factors that influence whether a gene gets turned on from a dormant place. Bruce Lipton’s book “Biology of Belief” is wonderful at explaining this in more depth.
