Anyone else go from resilient and healthy to propped up by modern medicine around age 40?

I know I know, as teenagers and in our early 20s we all thought we were invincible and would live to 120.

As we entered our late 20s and early 30s, I would see lots of people start to struggle with a slowing metabolism. More and more nagging injuries surfaced.

But I was not one of them. My body seemed to operate on whatever I fed it, injuries were rare, I heard the warnings of “oh but in your 30s it all starts to change.” But I wasn’t personally seeing it.

I was well within my BMI, I stayed fit and exercised, and my body made me feel like I was still very in control of my life in an organic way.

THEN I turned 40, and now I’m on a cholesterol, blood pressure, and anti-balding med. And lucky me, now at 40 I’ve developed gout and am looking at my fourth life-long medicine to keep this flesh sack going for another few decades.

Anyone else who was blindsided by the need for life-long / life-saving medicines, despite their external appearance not indicating anything is falling apart at all?

(And yes I know I’m lucky to have made it to 40 without previously depending on modern medicine - my SO has a chronic disease and I know that many of us millennials have been fighting life-long battles. I’m not here to denigrate or ignore the folks out there tougher than me!)
