LATEST STORIES

Dr. Cathy Goldstein, creator of Tru Energy’s All-Natural FaceLift System, is on a mission to revolutionize skincare and aging. With a background in holistic medicine, acupuncture, and energy healing, she has spent decades treating chronic illnesses and uncovering the connection between toxicity, emotional health, and skin aging. In an interview with TereZa Hakobyan-Lolli and Anthony Lolli, Editors-in-Chief of longevity and wellness platform Biohack Yourself, for the influential upcoming women’s health documentary, “sHEALed,” Dr. Goldstein shares her journey into skincare, why she rejects Botox, and how facial expressions play a vital role in human connection.

The sHEALed Documentary is the sister documentary to Biohack Yourself, which became a massive success after exploding on the scene in December 2024 and ignited a firestorm of interest in information focused on health and longevity. Biohack Yourself features 114 prominent and respected high-profile politicians, doctors, bestselling authors, Ph.D.s, M.D.s, scientists, chemists, inventors, biotech investors, and world-renowned academics. Stemming from the success of Biohack Yourself, TereZa Hakobyan-Lolli and Anthony Lolli have grown Biohack Yourself Media to become the number one resource for health news, publishing over 500 articles ranging from breaking news to peer reviewed content.

A Personal Wake-Up Call: The Moment That Changed Everything

Dr. Goldstein’s journey into holistic skincare began with a startling realization. "At 49, I was at the top of my game, running successful practices and feeling great—but my face told a different story," she recalled. One day, she caught a glimpse of herself in a mirror and was shocked. "Even worse, a friend of mine didn’t immediately recognize me. That moment crushed me."

Despite eating right, exercising, and taking supplements, she felt a disconnect between how she felt inside and what she saw in the mirror. "That’s when I knew I had to make skincare part of my mission," she explained.

The Three Pillars of Aging: Toxins, Emotional Stress, and a Natural Facelift

Through her research, Dr. Goldstein identified three critical factors that accelerate aging:

Physical toxins: "We’re bombarded with chemicals from food, water, and the environment. These toxins accumulate and show up on our skin."
Emotional toxins & brain health: "Emotions leave an imprint on our faces. Stress, trauma, and unresolved emotions create tension and lines."
The need for a natural facelift system: "Women deserve a way to rejuvenate their skin without injections or surgery."

Why She Rejected Botox & The Hidden Impact of Facial Expressions

Dr. Goldstein considered Botox but ultimately rejected it. "As someone deeply committed to holistic healing, I just couldn’t do it," she said. But beyond the toxicity concerns, she was fascinated by the psychological impact of Botox.

"Our facial expressions are crucial for communication," she explained. "When we speak, we mirror each other’s emotions through microexpressions. This helps us connect, empathize, and understand each other."

Research shows that when people lose their ability to make facial expressions, they experience a disconnect in emotional relationships. "If I’m sharing a heartfelt story and your face is frozen, my brain subconsciously registers that you’re not engaging. That leads to disconnection and loneliness."

This isn’t just theory—statistics back it up:

64% of young girls feel disconnected from others
67% say their relationships lack depth and meaning
Studies show that when teenagers see too many ‘frozen faces’ on social media, their brains react as if experiencing trauma

The Science of Frequency-Based Skincare

Rather than turning to conventional treatments, Dr. Goldstein developed Tru Energy, an all-natural facelift system using frequencies and biophoton technology.

"Think of a tuning fork. If you strike one tuning fork, another nearby will vibrate at the same frequency. Our cells work the same way—they communicate through energy."

Her Tru Energy system includes:

A skincare wand and a green bead infused with frequencies that promote collagen and elastin production
Biophoton energy to restore cellular communication
Oleosome technology to deliver deep hydration and nutrients

How She Proved It Works: Clinical Trials & Unexpected Results

Skeptical of her own results, Dr. Goldstein hired a third-party researcher, Dr. Pugliese, a respected expert in the cosmetic industry. "I wanted to remove my bias, so I put Tru Energy in his hands."

After just 15 days, he called her, stunned. "He said, ‘These women look like they’ve had mini facelifts. How are you doing this?’"

Key findings from the 30-day study:

25% increase in collagen production
Visible skin tightening and smoothing
Enhanced elasticity without scarring or damage

The Problem with Conventional Anti-Aging Procedures

Dr. Goldstein is wary of aggressive treatments like microneedling and PRP (platelet-rich plasma). "When you injure the skin, it triggers micro-scarring, which weakens elasticity over time. People think they’re reversing aging, but they’re actually creating long-term damage."

Instead, she emphasizes working with nature, not against it. "You don’t need to ‘force’ collagen production through trauma. You can stimulate it naturally."

The Role of Fascia & Lymphatic Health in Skin Aging

"Fascia is your body’s collagen-producing powerhouse, and your lymphatic system delivers nutrients to the skin," Dr. Goldstein explained.

Her Tru Energy body tools focus on improving lymphatic drainage and fascia health, which:

Reduces puffiness & inflammation
Increases skin firmness
Supports natural detoxification

Menopause & Skin: What Women Need to Know

"By the time we reach menopause, we’ve lost up to 30% of our collagen production," Dr. Goldstein warned. "That’s why skin starts to sag, and wrinkles become more prominent."

Her approach to minimizing menopause-related skin aging includes:

Bone broth & collagen supplementation: "I personally make my own broth with chicken, oxtail, and marrow bones."
Hydration-focused skincare: "Many cleansers strip the skin. You need hydration at every step."
Avoiding synthetic hormones & toxins: "These disrupt skin regeneration and accelerate aging."

The Sun Debate: To Block or Not to Block?

Dr. Goldstein is not anti-sun, but she believes in smart exposure. "The sun is essential for vitamin D and brain function—but avoid peak hours. I go outside early in the morning or late afternoon."

As for sunscreen? "If it’s chemical-based, it’s toxic. It’s disrupting your hormones. Instead, wear a hat, long sleeves, and find shade."

Aging Without Fear: Her Message to Women

"Women are terrified of aging because the industry has told us we need drugs, surgery, and toxins to be beautiful," she said. "That’s a lie."

Her advice? Surround yourself with people who celebrate natural beauty. "Social media bombards us with unrealistic images. Follow those who uplift you."

Beauty is Energy, Not Just Skin Deep

Dr. Goldstein believes true beauty isn’t just about perfect skin—it’s about how you feel, how you connect, and how you radiate energy.

"Aging isn’t about losing youth. It’s about gaining wisdom, richness, and deeper connections. When you embrace that, your beauty shines through—inside and out."

Through Tru Energy, Dr. Goldstein is proving that women can age naturally, beautifully, and powerfully—without fear.
