While there are many theories of aging (hormonal, free radical, wear and tear), the overmineralization theory is the only explanation for why humans age at three different speeds:

1. no biological aging during the childhood growth years, characterized by the shuttling of calcium, iron and copper to make new bones, red blood cells and collagen;
2. accumulation of these minerals once childhood growth has ceased and progressive aging, as evidenced by the buildup of cellular debris called lipofuscin;
3. a slight decline in the rate of aging in late life, which has been correlated with reaching a steady state of minerals. For example, iron stores do not increase any further.

The film explains why women live, on average, about 5 to 8 years longer than males. Women do not begin to accumulate minerals until they have reached menopause. During their fertile years, losses of iron and copper during menstruation, and donation of calcium to offspring, explains why women avoid the "rusting and calcification" seen in full-grown males.

The film explains why males at age 40 have double the amount of iron and four times as much calcium in their bodies compared to an equally aged female, and experience double th
