Alzheimer’s Is Not an Old-Age Disease (It Starts in Your 20s)
Most people think Alzheimer’s is a disease of old age.That’s not true.
The symptoms show up late.The disease process starts decades earlier.
- The biochemical changes begin as early as your 20s
- Symptoms appear much later (60s-80s)
- By the time memory loss is obvious, the brain has already been shrinking for years
Which means that Alzheimer’s is not a sudden disease
It’s a slow metabolic and inflammatory process
The 4 common phases of cognitive decline
- Pre-symptomatic - changes show up in blood and brain scans, but you feel fine
- SCI (Subjective Cognitive Impairment) - you feel “off,” but tests look normal
- MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) - testing shows decline, but you’re still functional
- Dementia - daily life is impaired
Most people wait until phase 3 or 4 to act.
That’s like waiting for a heart attack before caring about arterial Health.
