Depends on the nature of the person in question. I'd say nurture operates as a "modifier", but cannot outright change the starting baseline value. Also, there's a lot of other kinds of modifiers you can throw into the mix that don't exactly fall under "nurture".

Some adaptive behaviors that produce a wide range of positive benefits (IE, exercise) can alleviate some of the negative effects caused by mild yet inherent psychological challenges.

Substances with mild psychoactive effects can also be of some benefit for people. Caffeine, supplements, certain nutritional sources, even keeping regularly hydrated. And there's others too of course with varying degrees of potency and usefulness, as per individual.

Still, there that baseline value can only be modified, trained, or enhanced so far, at least without bordering into areas like cybernetic enhancement or gene therapy (and the mess that comes with that entire mixed bag).
