A CONVERSATION WITH Dr. Cathy Goldstein — Founder of TruHealth & Creator of the Tru Energy Protocol

Episode Summary

In this episode of Forever Young, Dr. John Layke and Dr. Payman Danielpour sit down with Dr. Cathy Goldstein, renowned acupuncturist, Functional Medicine practitioner, and founder of TruHealth in Beverly Hills. Dr. Cathy is the creator of the Tru Energy Protocol, a science-backed acupuncture and Eastern-medicine-inspired system designed to rebalance the body, optimize organ function, reduce inflammation, and restore vitality from the inside out.

Dr. Cathy explains how energetic imbalances manifest as aging, fatigue, hormonal shifts, chronic pain, gut dysfunction, and skin issues — and how targeted acupuncture points can “turn the lights back on” in organs that are underperforming. She breaks down the philosophy behind Tru Energy, including:

• How your body’s “energy blueprint” ages faster than your chronological age

• Why acupuncture works (and how modern research supports it)

• How stress and cortisol dysregulation accelerate visible aging

• The connection between stagnation, inflammation, and premature aging

• The specific points she uses most for face rejuvenation, hormonal balance, and energy

• How to know if you’re “energetically depleted”

• Why the Tru Energy Protocol is designed to treat the root cause, not just symptoms

Dr. Layke and Dr. Danielpour dive deep into how Eastern medicine complements their own anti-aging philosophy — and how aligning hormones, gut health, sleep, and energetic flow can dramatically amplify results from surgical and non-surgical procedures.

Dr. Cathy also shares real patient transformations, at-home acupressure techniques anyone can try, and the one lifestyle change she wishes everyone over 35 would make today.

This episode is the perfect introduction to how Functional Medicine meets ancient healing systems — and why longevity medicine may need both.

Episode Highlights:

• The science behind meridians and how they relate to organ health

• How acupuncture reduces chronic inflammation and accelerates recovery

• What energetic stagnation looks like in the face

• The surprising link between gut health, anxiety, and premature aging

• Why most people are functioning at only “60% energy capacity” without realizing it

• Dr. Cathy’s favorite tools and daily rituals for staying youthful

• The Tru Energy Protocol step-by-step

• Why Eastern Medicine is having a major resurgence in longevity medicine

• How to know if acupuncture is the right treatment for you

The 21-Minute Workout That Rewires Your Body: VASPER with Sebastian Wasowski

This week on Forever Young, Dr. John Layke and Dr. Payman Danielpour sit down with Sebastian Wasowski, the CEO and creator of Vasper, one of the most cutting-edge fitness technologies disrupting the performance, longevity, and recovery world.

If you’ve ever wondered why elite athletes, Silicon Valley founders, and NASA physiologists are obsessed with the concept of “smart exercise,” this is the episode for you.

WHAT WE COVER

🏋️ The Origin of VASPER
How Sebastian’s early work in biomechanics and high-performance training led him to create a system that could deliver the benefits of a 2-hour workout in just 21 minutes.

❄️ Cold + Compression + Interval Training
Why Vasper uses liquid cooling, strategic compression, and low-impact intervals to trigger a powerful physiological response — boosting growth hormone, reducing systemic inflammation, and accelerating recovery without overtraining.

🧬 Longevity Through Intelligent Stress
How the right kind of adaptive stress (not too much, not too little) can help preserve muscle mass, support metabolic health, and slow many of the aging mechanisms that traditional workouts accidentally accelerate.

🔥 Why Vasper Works for EVERY Body
From injured patients to professional athletes to people in midlife trying to regain energy, Sebastian explains why the system is versatile, safe on joints, and shockingly effective for people who don’t have hours to spend in the gym.

🧠 Neurochemical Benefits
How Vasper activates the parasympathetic nervous system, improves sleep quality, enhances focus, and helps stabilize mood — in ways traditional cardio often can’t.

⏱️ The 21-Minute Protocol
What a typical session looks like, what your body experiences during each phase, and how often Sebastian recommends using Vasper for maximum performance and anti-aging benefits.

🌎 Future of Fitness + Regenerative Medicine
Where the technology is headed next — and how it may combine with stem cells, peptides, wearable sensors, and data-driven health platforms.

ABOUT TODAY’S GUEST

Sebastian Wasowski, CEO and creator of Vasper Systems, is a performance and longevity innovator whose work blends exercise physiology, cooling technology, and compression science. His systems are used by NASA, military special forces, physical therapy centers, and elite training facilities around the world.
