My DNA is definitely changed or controlled by my environment.
Put me or you in peril, and see how fast we get our DNA to produces fight or flight chemicals.
Even here and now, If I were to insult you, think of the chemicals I would produce in you as compared to if I complimented your words.

Whatever people may say about epigenetics, one thing is clear that whilst some specifically identified genes can be switched on or off according to the environment, the GENOME remains unchanged in a living creature and such temporary changes will not be passed to the next generation.
So, NO your DNA is not Changed by your environment, but its actions might.
Flight or flight in particular is a dual function of the genes that code for that. This is not the same as saying your DNA is changed.
