Fleeing Poland as a child, dodging bullets and bombs, he experienced fear, hunger, and deep mistrust in the world.

He studied science, biology, psychology, and medicine, only to find these disciplines offered fragmented insights—not the holistic understanding he craved. Psychology taught thoughts and...

In the wellness world, many chase surface-level fixes, like creams, cleanses, and crash diets, while ignoring the internal systems that actually drive energy, detoxification, and glow. Cathy Goldstein, a holistic practitioner with over 40 years of experience, sees the body differently. She believes the real fix lies in supporting two overlooked systems: fascia and lymph.

The high-tech world of biohacking often focuses on physical factors for longevity, like supplements and cold plunges. However, author and biohacker Tony Wrighton suggests that mindset plays a more significant role. Drawing from his experience in behavior change and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Tony reveals that our beliefs about aging may impact lifespan more than diet or exercise. A Yale University study supports this idea, showing that individuals with a negative mindset towards aging live 7.5 years shorter than those with a positive outlook. This effect is more detrimental than...

info_outlineIn the wellness world, many chase surface-level fixes, like creams, cleanses, and crash diets, while ignoring the internal systems that actually drive energy, detoxification, and glow. Cathy Goldstein, a holistic practitioner with over 40 years of experience, sees the body differently. She believes the real fix lies in supporting two overlooked systems: fascia and lymph.
Cathy describes most people as walking around with a “traffic jam of toxins.” This buildup in the fascia and lymphatic system can lead to puffiness, swelling, fatigue, dull skin, and even emotional heaviness. Fascia is more than connective tissue—it’s a collagen-producing communication network that sends energetic and structural signals faster than the nervous system. The lymphatic system flows through it, clearing toxins and nourishing cells.
Trauma, pollution, poor posture, or emotional baggage can block this flow. When that happens, not only does your body hold onto physical toxins, but emotional ones too.
Fascia, Emotions & Self-Healing
Cathy often says, “The issues are in the tissues.” She connects stuck emotions and trauma to disruptions in the fascia. By using energetic tools and neuro-emotional techniques, she helps the body rewire these patterns and release stored pain—both physical and emotional.
Her approach is about restoration, not force. Treatments aim to retrain the nervous system, restore vibrational balance, and activate the body’s own self-healing mechanisms.
A New Kind of Skincare
Instead of applying collagen to the skin, Cathy developed a skincare line that teaches your cells to regenerate it. Her frequency-imprinted body lotion uses oleosome technology to deliver nutrients deep into the skin. Each green bead inside contains thousands of energetic signatures and bioadaptive ingredients that encourage skin to rebuild from the inside out.
This is skincare that talks to your cells—helping them remember how to function at their best.
Body Sculpting with Purpose
Forget bruising Gua Sha tools. Cathy’s True Energy Body Sculpting Stone is ergonomically designed and infused with healing frequencies. Used just 5–6 minutes daily—especially after a shower or sauna—it opens lymphatic channels, clears fascia adhesions, and sculpts areas like thighs, belly, and underarms.
