Bullshit. I’m also on the older end of that demographic and it’s time to pay attention to your health

more people my age are starting to have serious health issues that are important to discover early
doctors are starting to pay attention to details and order more tests.

Some of them are a bit late. For example I know several former concert goers my age with hearing issues catching up with them. Now I pay attention when my Apple Watch warns about dangerous noise levels. However hearing issues can be from a lifetime of accumulated damage, so paying attention starting a decade or two ago would have been even better

Edit: when I lost weight a bunch of years back, my motivation was being better able to play with my kids but the most important tool was tracking: my vitals, my exercise, my intake.

Currently I’m battling sleep issues, mostly self-inflicted but the tracking is an important tool toward fixing that
