It's actually mainstream science lol. Your environment affects how your genetics manifest into your phenotype. It's been documented for a long time.

A simple example would be that you can take two seeds from the same plant and grow them with different amounts of light and different soil and they will come out differently. There's nothing mysterious about it. Your genes are just a blueprint for your phenotype but you still need actual material to build said phenotype and your environment can affect this.

On a more abstract level, information you're exposed to is contingent on your environment. How you respond to said information is affected by your genetics but also by learned information which is once again a function of your environment.
