Modern epigenetics broadly supports the idea that lifestyle and diet can switch genes on or off without altering the DNA sequence itself, and a 2020 paper argues this lines up conceptually with the Janma/Deha Prakruti distinction. It's an early, largely theoretical parallel rather than a proven mechanistic match.DOI:10.3390/medicina56120687
Ayurveda holds that you're born with a fixed constitution (Janma Prakruti) that acts like a genetic blueprint, but your day-to-day physical and mental state (Deha Prakruti) shifts constantly based on diet, stress, and lifestyle. The system was built around adjusting the shifting part to support the fixed part.
