“Diseases of Aging” - is it all about the L.O.A.D.?

We’ve been told diseases like dementia, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and cancer are just “part of getting old.”But in reality? It’s not age itself — it’s the accumulation of toxins over time.

It's the L.O.A.D. - Length Of Accumulated Damage

Let’s walk through the decades.

20s–30s → Resilient Years

Body compensates easily.
Early whispers: fatigue, bloating, acne, headaches.
Most brush it off as “normal” or just stress.

40s–50s → Breakdown Years

Warning lights start flashing.
High blood pressure, thyroid struggles, weight gain, poor sleep.
Doctors say, “It’s just age” — but it’s years of toxic stacking showing up.

60s → The Chronic Phase

Accumulated stress + toxicity now labeled as “conditions.”
Common diagnoses: Type 2 diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular disease.
Medications often increase (statins, blood pressure meds, metformin).
Many still believe this is “inevitable aging.”

70s → The Decline Phase

Energy, muscle, and resilience shrink faster if toxins keep piling.
Dementia, Parkinson’s, strokes more common.
Polypharmacy (5–10 meds daily) becomes the “norm.”
What looks like “old age frailty” is actually toxic burden + nutrient depletion.

80s → The Dependency Phase

Independence is often lost.
Nursing home care, walkers, wheelchairs.
Organs overburdened → kidneys, liver, heart struggle most.
High inflammation and oxidative stress dominate.

90s → The Extreme Phase

Those who reach 90 often do so with either -

Exceptional health habits that reduced toxic stacking, so they are Healthy and mobile.

2.High toxic burden with significant frailty, dementia, or immobility.

At this age it’s the MOST obvious - people who minimized toxins vs. those who didn’t live completely different realities.

Here's a FitnHealthy Forever Truth -

Aging doesn’t cause disease. ✅

Toxic accumulation does. ✅

Every decade is like a “toxic bank account.”

What you deposit (pesticides, plastics, stress, processed food, poor sleep) or withdraw (detox practices, clean eating, movement, sunshine) determines the quality of your later years.

ALL of this can be dialed back. You are never too OLD or, damaged or "broken".

You weren't handed a "bad hand of cards"

You don't have "bad' genetics.

Genes are the bullet in the gun. Your actions or inactions pull the trigger.

Genes are triggered by actions.

You can always be a better version of yourself at any age.
