Your Genes Are Affected By How You Live Every Single Day ft. Dr. Kien Vuu
Tuesday, 29 September, 2026
Everyone in your family has diabetes, so you figure you are going to get diabetes next. That is not actually how it works. Dr. Kien Vuu was chief of interventional radiology when he got the diagnosis himself. Diabetes, high blood pressure, about fifty pounds he didn't want, and a handful of prescriptions. He was forty. If he had stayed in the system he trained in, he says he would still be on all of it, plus more by now. He doesn't have either diagnosis anymore. What he explains in this episode is the difference between having a gene and turning it on. Every cell in your body carries the same DNA, but a heart cell and an eye cell act nothing alike, because different genes are switched on in each one. What decides which ones get switched on is everything going on around that cell. Your food. Your sleep. And a bigger one than most people expect, whether your body thinks you are safe. When your nervous system reads danger, it turns inflammation up and it turns your immune system down. That makes sense if something is actually chasing you. It is a problem if your body has been in that state for fifteen years. I did push back on him, because there is a version of this conversation that turns into blaming sick people for being sick. He answers that head on. Nobody controls every single thing, and that was never the point. The point is how much of it you do. You have been treating your family history like a verdict. You get a say in what happens. Want more practical health tips? Join my newsletter! https://freechapter.lpages.co/newsletter-opt-in/ "Fine" isn't the same as well.
