Aging is not a collection of isolated problems but a systemic shift in structural integrity. When joints stiffen, skin wrinkles, focus declines, and energy drops, the common denominator is the degeneration of connective tissue and the extracellular matrix. This conversation explains how collagen, hydration, inflammation, and bioactive signaling shape biological age, and why restoring the body’s internal framework improves mobility, cognition, skin quality, and sustained energy together rather than in parts.

The Insights That Matter:

1. Structural Aging Explained - Aging is framed as degeneration of connective tissue rather than isolated cosmetic or joint concerns.
2. The Extracellular Matrix Connection - The internal framework surrounding every cell influences mobility, cognition, skin quality, and energy simultaneously.
3. Inflammation and Dehydration Effects - Chronic inflammation, stress, and poor hydration accelerate matrix breakdown and visible aging signs.
4. The Limits of Symptom Fixes - Cosmetic procedures, joint replacements, and stimulants are shown as partial solutions that do not address systemic biology.
5. Regeneration Is Possible - The body retains the ability to rebuild structural integrity when supported with bioactive nutrition, movement, sleep, and hydration.

Dr. Grazyna Pajunen: Today, I would like to share with you

very important thing about aging, and that means they why

joint skin and brain and also energy level all age together,

if you ever thought about it that when you start feeling

stiff with joints, you also notice little more wrinkles on

your face, and maybe you're focusing, not the same as

before, and maybe your energy level drops. Well, this is not a

coincidence. This is biology. Most people think that what

happens is everything is separate, so I can fix my skin

or I can fix my joints separately from everything else.

But it's not true. Actually body, it does not age in parts.

It is one system, and one of the most overlooked part of this

system is connective tissue, or extracellular matrix. Your body

is built of a living internal framework that is made basically

from collagen, hyaluronic acid, hondurated sulfate and other

glyco aminoglycans and structural water. And this

matrix surrounds everything, every cell, every joint, every

nerve, every even every brain cell. So when this matrix

degenerates, it influenced the entire body. If this matrix is

well hydrated, if it's elastic and resilient, that everything

works, that your joints work, your wrinkles almost don't show

up, and your energy level is great, and your way of you know

you are very sharp, but as we age or live In chronic

inflammation or stress or dehydration or poor nutrition,

then this matrix starts to degenerate, and then you will

dry out. You become stiff and do not think properly. You know you

are not focused like you used to be. So here is what happens when

this is degenerating. Your joints lose the cushion so

synovial fluid dries out and wrinkles. The dry skin becomes

like paper, and the brain communication slows down and the

energy will become tired and and so on. So everybody says, ah,

that's normal because I'm I am older. But that's not true. It's

not normal. It's degeneration of connective tissue. So that's

why, when you start to solve the problem, many people try to

solve this problem by taking care of each of this things

separately. So, for example, when they have wrinkles, they

say, Okay, I do the plastic surgery, or I buy very expensive

cream, or I do Botox injection, and I will look fantastic. Or

they go and say, you have prey problems with joint let's do

joint replacement, and that will solve my problem. Or let's say

that I drink every day the energy drink, and that will

solve my problem. Well, this is not going to solve your problem,

because this The problem is that everything is connected together

and accesses a system, and the main component of the system is

connective tissue. So aging is not about wrinkles, it's about

the collapse of structural integrity. So what is good news?

Good news is that this biology is dynamic, and the body still

has the capacity of to regenerate and but we need to

support it properly. So what do we need? We need bio active

signaling, nutrition. This is what I'm talking all the time

about, not in. Have bio available, but it has to be

bioactive, anti inflammatory foods, anti inflammatory

supplements, proper protein quality, circulation and

movement, proper sleep patterns and hydration that reacts that

reaches connective tissue. That's why I wrote a book about

biohack, a way to a better view. It's available on Amazon, where

reviews all this, every single, single thing, how to improve it.

So when you restore the internal matrix, you don't just improve

one area. You once you improve everything you improve, you will

have better mobility, you have better skin. You will look much

younger. You will feel much younger. You will be able to

think better, and you will have more energy and quicker recovery

from when you exercise. So this is, remember, this is all

connected. So the body ages together, so it must be

supported together. So if this resonates with you, you can ask

me to forward you the guide we have written, a guide how to

exactly rebuild or reverse the your own biological age. And so

if you want that, just ask me, and I can send it to you. It's a

free guide, or you can schedule a call with us. But if you like

this videos and you you like what we are sharing with you,

just follow us, and we will provide you more of very useful

tips. Thank you.
