Genetics And Your Success. How important is genetics to your success in gaining muscle, losing fat, or performance? Can you alter it? Why is genetics important? Can supplements alter genetics in some way?

Without a doubt, the most cutting edge research looking at the relationship between what we eat -- be it food or supplements -- and the benefits we derive, is the science of nutrigenomics. As the name implies, nutrigenomics looks directly at how nutrients interact with our genes. Wikipedia defines it as "the study of molecular relationships between nutrition and the response of genes, with the aim of extrapolating how such subtle changes can affect human health." Some of the nutrients we eat are very powerful modulators of our genes. Perhaps one of the best defined at this time are the fatty acids found in fish oil; EPA and DHA. These two fatty acids have various health benefits that actually works on the genetic level. To show just how exiting and powerful this area of research is, one speaker commented that the active constituents found in fish oils (EPA/DHA) could actually nullify the genetic disposition some people had for developing Syndrome X and cardio vascular disease.

Yeah I guess it'd be tough to really debate since we'd have to be refering to something specific. Eye color is something considered inherited, I wouldn't call it family "history" though. What I mean by that, is people say your "family history", for example relating to high cholesterol or diabetes. What matters most is your environment. If you were somehow separated from that family, you would not grow up with the same "history" because your settings would be entirely different, thus your stimuli

@doctorwilhelm

When you say "family history", for example relating to high cholesterol or diabetes." that again, is indeed examples of inherited genetic traits. Some people are very resistant to diabetes regardless of what they eat, and some are very prone to it, regardless of what they eat, and specific populations can be tracked on both ends of that extreme, which again, is their genetics they inherit. Environment is a major factor there in both those conditions also.

What level would you say genetics really play on your biochemistry in regards to the way you heal? Do you not believe that environment is the most critical factor (nutrition, spiritual, mental, physical)? I feel people too often blame "genetics" when it's really the "current" biochemistry of your body given your previous "hereditary" socio-cultral tendencies (ie. 'family history'). I believe health and the power of the mind are more powerful than "family genetics" as many people blame it

@doctorwilhelm

You're family history = your genetics. That *is* your family history, so I'm not sure what you're attempting to say above. How much genetics influences a specific effect, depends on what we are talking about. That your eyes are blue say, is 100% your genetics, and no amount of power of the mind, etc will alter that. Thus, whether genetics play 100% or 0, depends on what we are discussing specifically. Success in the gym, your genes play a major role there.

Do you think you can have good genetics for one thing and not so good for another eg, i train naturally and im pretty muscular, around 230lbs, 19'' arms which are extremely vascular, 44'' chest, 32''waist.. you get the idea but even with the relatively small waist and vascular arms i still hold some fat around my waist that I cant seem to shift therefore I cannot get my abs anywhere near as prominent as I would like, also my calves are my only body part that doesnt seem to grow

[willbrink]

@taitlawrence

Obviously, we all have genetics and other factors that has some bodyparts responding much better then others to exercise.

@jeredan

But this is the internet, everyone is an expert! But seriously, I think people do have a tough time wrapping their head around genetics as it's such an ambiguous term for many unless they have science background to really understand at the basic level how genes effect so much. Sadly, many think steroids are a magic pill and they would look like Jay and others if they used them, etc. 99.99% of the people using such drugs will look nothing like Jay. Why? GENETICS.....

[jeredan]

let's just let will brink do the studying and talking shall we? i'm pretty sure none of us are close enough or will ever get close enough  in this lifetime to the depth of the research and studying he has done. like he said, he knows jay cutler...i'm pretty sure you guys who say jay is nothing but a steroid freak think steroids are like a magic pill you take and boom! you're an olympia contender... let's leave the research to the experts like will.

Can you talk how much strong we can get without drug !??!!?

[xelfgal]

how do i know tha one person has better genetics than others? I mean the physical composition.

@01100111000

It is. I have an article about that topic on BrinkZone.

@Jdawgkewl

Of course.
