Are Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity Genetic? | “Glucose Goddess” Jessie Inchauspé |
|
Levels Co-Founder Casey Means, MD, and “Glucose Goddess” Jessie Inchauspé talked about all things glucose and metabolic health, including how much is tied to genetics.
🧬 Inchauspé previously worked at 23andMe. She notes that some genes do increase one’s likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes and/or obesity. 👯♀️ But studies with identical twins (who have the same genetic code) show that one twin may develop Type 2 diabetes while the other doesn’t. ⚠️ Also, Type 2 diabetes used to be called “adult-onset diabetes). Now children develop the condition. Yet our genes haven’t changed over the past 20 years. ⏮️ Type 2 diabetes can also be reversed. 🍽️ We don’t only inherit genes. Our parents also pass down their lifestyle habits. And many things impact those habits. ✅ We do have the power to change those habits to improve our metabolic health and prevent Type 2 diabetes and obesity. #metabolichealth #genetics #healthylife #glucose Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: https://levels.link/shorts 👋 WHO WE ARE: Levels helps you see how food affects your health.
