The Real Reason We Age (It’s Not Wrinkles) | Bone Loss, Facial Structure & Anti-Ageing Explained

Everyone thinks ageing is about wrinkles, skin texture and fine lines. But the real reason we age starts much deeper in our bones. In this episode of Yap & Jab, we break down bone resorption, the gradual loss of bone density and facial structure that begins as early as your late 20s. As facial bones slowly remodel over time, the skin and fat sitting on top lose support leading to hollow under-eyes, flatter cheeks, deeper smile lines and a softer jawline. We cover: * What bone resorption is and why it happens * The facial areas most affected by bone loss * Why ageing is structural before it’s superficial * The role of hormones, nutrition and lifestyle * How to slow bone density decline naturally * Treatments like dermal filler and Sculptra that support facial structure * Signs your face may already be experiencing bone resorption Ageing isn’t just about wrinkles. It’s about architecture. Subscribe for more episodes of Yap & Jab, where we break down the science behind aesthetics, skin, and cosmetic treatments.

Explaining the controversy around GLOW PEPTIDES.

Injectable “glow” peptides are exploding online promising brighter skin, faster recovery, and anti-ageing results. But most people have no idea what they’re actually putting into their bodies. In this episode of YAP & JAB, we dissect the trending Glow stack (GHK-Cu, BPC-157, TB-500) compounds that are not TGA-approved, often labelled “not for human use,” and largely sourced through the black market. The evidence? Thin. The long-term human data? Almost nonexistent. The risks range from infection and contamination to a deeper concern doctors are watching: whether stimulating cell growth could accelerate existing cancer cells. Subscribe for weekly episodes.
