info_outlineIn this episode, Dr. Gillian Lockitch and Dr. Cathy Goldstein uncover hidden truths of the beauty industry. While fillers, Botox, and injectables dominate today’s aesthetic market, Cathy Goldstein explains how these treatments can interfere with facial expression, emotional intelligence, and even brain health. Instead, she advocates for a holistic approach—restoring natural energy flow, releasing stored trauma, and using frequency-based therapies that rejuvenate from the inside out. Listeners will gain new insights into how to age with authenticity, vitality, and self-connection without resorting to invasive procedures.
Cathy Goldstein has been practicing integrative medicine since 1988, blending the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine with the cutting-edge science of frequency and energy healing. A life-threatening autoimmune illness led her from traditional medical training into her lifelong mission: to help women restore vitality, resilience, and radiance from the inside out. She is the founder of True Energy Skincare, a system that uses frequency-based therapies to rejuvenate appearance and emotional well-being naturally. Passionate about empowering women, Dr. Goldstein demonstrates that true beauty begins in the brain and blossoms through energetic balance.
