Hey there... Got good genes?

In this week's newsletter:🧬 Control What You Can👩 Mom's Fault?

Screw Your Genes

One of the more frustrating logevity topics that often comes up is how long you'll live based on your genes. Of course, it's interesting to see what kind of genes lead to longer lifespans. Scientists have been searching for the 'right longevity genes' for years. Perhaps one day soon we'll be able to isolate and replicate those longevity genes for those in the future?I say that the gene topic in longevity is frustrating because people can't choose their genetic background.You're born with what you're born with. Eye color, height, skin tone, and facial appearance are just some of the qualities we all inherited - literally. That also applies to lifespan, to a certain extent. Research suggests that genes account for approximately 20 to 30% of longevity, while lifestyle and environmental factors make up the remaining 70 to 80%.It may be frustrating that you don't have control over that 20 to 30%... but for the rest of it? Well, there is a whole lot you can do!You can get serious and book an appointment with a longevity right now (below), to address proactive measures you can take to promote your lifespan. Or you can get started this second by checking out our Longevity 101 resource that has numerous interesting ideas for you to pursue (all backed by science with references!). Think of it this way: "Adopting a healthy lifestyle can extend life expectancy by up to 23 years for males and 18 years for females."Go be proactive,
