Ageless Beauty: Embracing Energy Medicine for Skin Health

The Menopause Mastery Show | Ageless Beauty: Embracing Energy Medicine for Skin Health | Episode 271 with Cathy Goldstein  🌱 Skincare in Menopause: Energy Medicine, Acupuncture, & the 7-Minute "Facelift" (Plus What Actually Works) In this Menopause Mastery episode, Dr. Betty Murray and acupuncturist Cathy Goldstein discuss why skincare in perimenopause and menopause is about more than wrinkles and products, focusing on skin as a communication system tied to the nervous system, emotions, hormones, fascia, muscles, and lymphatic flow. They explain how repeated facial expressions and stress can tighten muscles, constrict fascia, reduce lymphatic movement, and impact collagen and skin appearance, arguing for releasing rather than "freezing" the face. Cathy describes acupuncture and energy medicine through action-and-effect examples, shares misconceptions about topical collagen, collagen stamping, and heavy oils, and highlights clean water as the most underrated skin support. She outlines her Tru Energy® 7-minute facial protocol and study results, raises concerns about Botox/facelifts affecting communication and emotional connection, and shares three takeaways: hydrate, view lines as information, and know repair is possible. If you're a woman in perimenopause or menopause, and feeling like your skincare routine needs a boost, the insights in the episode are for you! Go beyond creams and lotions, and nurture your skin holistically.✨ To connect with Cathy and Tru Energy®: https://truenergyskincare.com/you/  00:00 Skincare Beyond Skin 00:49 Skin as Communication System 02:09 Fascia Lymph and Expression Lines 06:11 Acupuncture and Energy Medicine Basics 11:28 Functional Skincare What Works 14:08 Mythbusting Collagen and Microneedling 17:08 Most Underrated Skin Fix Water 18:57 Menopause Skin Issues and Barriers 23:58 Seven Minute Facelift Protocol 26:33 Botox Facelifts and Social Connection 32:48 Top Three Takeaways 34:58 Where to Find Cathy 35:56 Final Thanks and Subscribe Connect with Dr. Betty Murray:  Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Like, comment, and subscribe on YouTube:  @drbettymurray     Links:  The Fierce Female Method for Longevity (Dr. Betty's book): https://fierce.hormoneshelp.com/   Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/   FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec  Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/  Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ More from the Podcast:  Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw  Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247  Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.
