Ready to move beyond "goops and creams"? In this episode, Natalie sits down with Cathy Goldstein—functional medicine leader, acupuncturist, and founder of Tru Energy Skincare—to uncover what really drives healthy, glowing skin.

Drawing from Cathy's own healing journey, they cut through beauty-industry noise and dig into the science, energy, and everyday habits that transform skin from the inside out.

What You'll Learn

• Why skincare is about more than products—and how stress and emotions show up on your face
• The surprising link between emotional intelligence, facial muscles, and how we age
• Hydration and nutrition: why they're the real foundation of radiant skin
• The truth about "clean" skincare, active ingredients, and reading labels with confidence
• How energy, functional medicine, and biophoton frequencies could shift the future of skincare
• Simple daily practices to support your skin, mind, and body—why less is often more
• The hidden impact of facial expressions (and why numbing our faces affects kids, too)

Why This Episode Matters

In a culture chasing youth, it's easy to forget: true beauty comes from wellness, not perfection. Cathy and Natalie challenge outdated beauty standards and remind us that aging can be a process of empowerment—not invisibility.

Whether you're confused by the skincare aisle or ready to simplify your routine, this episode gives you practical, science-backed steps to care for your skin naturally at every stage of life.
