Are habits developed after birth embedded into DNA?

Most habits people form aren’t usually from birth but from experience. My question is, are those habits also engraved into their DNA? If so, how? And are these characteristics inherited by their progeny?

Baring bizarre accidents with powerful chemicals or radiation, DNA stays the same from conception until death. No amount of training, or changes in diet and exercise is going to change someone’s DNA. Take a pair of identical twins. If one studies to be a doctor, they aren’t going to have a ‘doctor’ gene, and their children aren’t more likely to grow up to be doctors.
