Genes might seem light years removed from concepts such as "meaningful work" and "stress management". But remember, they're part of that solid foundation that enables you to reach satisfaction with your life. Genes clearly contain the information you need for optimal physical functioning. By acting on the knowledge of your genetic makeup and how it influences your food, exercise and overall lifestyle choices, you create an existence characterized by energy, clear thinking and a sense of possibility uninhibited by physical frailty, disease, and the feeling of being overwhelmed by life.
Unfortunately, there aren't any genes that specifically predispose you to a healthy life in all its many manifestations! However, by maximizing the health potential of the genes you have, you are laying the foundation for discovering that optimum you.
