Beyond Genetics: Why Environment Shapes Health More Than DNA

Most people still believe health comes down to genetics, good genes or bad genes, luck of the draw. But in 2026, that explanation doesn’t hold up. In this video, I break down why genetics explain only a small portion of health outcomes, and why the social determinants of health, things like income, housing, food access, education, digital access, and health literacy, play a much bigger role. From a healthcare professional’s perspective, we explore: Why genetics alone can’t explain real-world health patterns How environment and access shape outcomes more than motivation Why missed medications and skipped workouts aren’t about laziness How the healthcare system still prioritizes appointments over real life Why outcomes improve when care becomes more personal and continuous What the future of healthcare needs to focus on instead of more testing If you’ve ever wondered why “doing everything right” still doesn’t feel enough, this video explains what’s actually going on. 📌 Educational content only.
