Which is also horribly unfair, as that's done almost entirely to upbringing, genes, sleep and food. Only the last two can be changed by the individual.

You're partially right, but the point of my comment is that it's not established fact that genes (in the sense of hard-coded, deterministic genetics) is the major factor.

Sure these patterns may be somewhat inherited, but quite possibly inherited in such a way that it can be altered with effective techniques, like those that I've been using.

I'm not claiming any proof, just arguing that proper research needs to be done into this.
