If our genetics have already predetermined our health than why don't we just accept the ineveitable?  We're going to get the disease anyway, so why don't we just indulge and enjoy life?

I believe that genetics makes us more susceptible to disease, but that does not mean we have to go 'quietly in the night'!  In my north Sydney acupuncture clinic I am dealing with issues relating to genetics issues all the time.  Feriltity is one area where I ahve had great success; patients with low ovarian reserves are quite common practice, but with acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, lifestyle changes, and a little time I can help the patient conceive.  

Cardiovascular disease is common, and genetics can play a role in this.  It is important that you know your helath and have all necessary testing done; and if you need to be managed by prescription medication that is ok to.  What is not ok is thinking the pharmaceuticals should do all the work!  In fact if you can turn all this around  by making some lifestyle changes  such as:

• Acupuncture: have a consultation in my North Sydney Acupuncture clinic and see how I can work in collaboration with your GP to support your health
• Exercise - moderatate effort 4 times a week for 45 mins is all it takes
• Diet -  cut that nasty processed crap out of your life, and avoid sugar
• Alcohol - stop binging and making excuses; you need to show some responsibility here
• Salt - It is recommended that those with cardiac issues should consume less than 1500 mmg/daily
