The Genetics of Obesity

A child's ability to maintain a healthy weight is a complex interplay between their environment (nurture) and their genes (nature). Your child's DNA can influence their metabolism, appetite signals, and even their motivation to exercise. For example, some children are genetically prone to snacking or have difficulty feeling full, while others may have a different metabolic response to fats or starches.

Understanding these genetic predispositions is not about putting a child on a diet. It’s about providing you with a scientific guide to help you structure more effective meals, choose better snacks, and encourage physical activities that their body will respond to best. It’s a proactive tool for building a foundation of health.
