According to the ex KLM pilot/ MD who is the guru with aerotoxic and treated Richard Westgate there is definitely a genetic link.
I lost my license at 45 which was a massive shock especially considering the circumstances but like you I think I’m 26 even going to my first french heavy metal beach rave at 70..got a lot of what’s an old fool like you doing flouncing about to Steve Aoki but not accepting my age keeps me going although I find it hard when 50 year olds offer me their seats on the tube.
