Is your DNA your destiny? 🧬
The science says no. And it’s a message worth hearing.
Speaking to over 1,000 medical professionals from across Latin America at Masterhub Buenos Aires, Miss Sherina Balaratnam presented the evidence that challenges one of the most common assumptions in ageing: that how we age is largely out of our hands 🎤 🇦🇷
It isn’t.
→ Your genes account for just 20–25% of how you age
→ The remaining 75–80% is driven by environment and lifestyle
→ Chronic stress is among the most significant drivers of accelerated biological ageing
→ UV exposure, poor sleep, glycation from sugar, smoking and alcohol all compound the rate of decline
→ Cells respond to their environment, and that environment is largely within your control
This isn’t permission to ignore your genetics. It’s a reminder that the choices you make every single day are writing the story of how you age far more than your DNA ever could.
At S-Thetics Clinic, every treatment plan Miss Balaratnam designs reflects this understanding: addressing the visible signs of ageing while supporting the skin and body at a cellular level, for results that go beyond the surface.
