We know we can learn a lot from our genetics,

but genetics aren't everything.

So can you talk a little bit about how our genetics

interact with our lifestyle to impact our health?

Sure, so I'll use a very straightforward example

that we can all understand and agree on.

I think that the old debate of nature versus nurture,

I think realizes a ridiculous debate now.

It's both all the time.

So if the winner of the men's competition and women's

had a child, they're going to have some pretty good genetics.

But they're not going to be a games competitor

if they sit on the couch the entire time.

They're going to be below average if they never do anything.

So we know that we could be born with really good or bad genes,

but we turn those on and off all the time.

So we have control over those.

And they interact very frequently.
