You say that as if you know for certain that none of those things are affected by genetics. Could it be that some people are genetically predisposed to higher levels of activity? It seems very likely to me that different people get varying amounts of endorphin released for similar levels of activity based on genetics.
Same goes for levels of satiation, levels of endorphin release when eating things like sugar.
I grew up in the same household, eating the same food as my brother. Why is it that he just doesn't care for sweet things, never has? And I have a massive sweet tooth. It's been the same since we were both skinny children. It's no wonder he is still skinny and I struggle with weight gain.
