Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Botox and fillers aren’t the only path to looking refreshed, and they may not be the path you actually want. We sit down with Dr. Greet Baestaens from REnew Yu Natural Health and Beauty to unpack the “natural revolution” a growing shift toward natural rejuvenation that prioritizes how your body heals, communicates, and calms itself, not just how your face looks under bright lights. If you’ve ever worried about looking overdone, swollen, or simply not like yourself, this conversation is for you.
We get specific about the Ryu device and how microcurrent facial therapy is designed to work from the inside out. Dr. Greet explains the idea of supporting cellular-level function, improving facial muscle tone and balance, and using biofeedback loops connected to your central nervous system to encourage better contraction and relaxation. That relaxation matters because chronic tension, stress, and inflammation don’t just affect your mood they can show up as tightness, deeper lines, and faster visible aging.
We also talk practical reality: what a first visit looks like, why natural results take time, and how progress is tracked with consistent before-and-after photos. You’ll hear candid guidance on lifestyle factors that can limit results, plus Florida-proof advice on sun protection, reapplication, and simple at-home consistency to protect your investment. If you care about preventative health, holistic wellness, and anti-aging strategies that still let you look like you, press play.

What The Natural Revolution Means
"Cabo" JimWelcome, good neighbors. Today we're talking about the natural revolution with Dr. Greet from Renew You. We're breaking down REYU What is it? How it works, what it feels like, and why natural rejuvenation may be more about than just looking younger. So uh welcome, Dr. Greet. Let's uh let's start off with the the phrase itself, uh, the natural revolution. Um you guys use that that that phrase. What does that mean in plain English to you guys?
Dr. Greet BaestaensThe natural revolution is that more clients are going to the way of natural rejuvenating and using the Ryu device to make that happen. So it's something new, it's electrical modulation, and we're all going in that direction.
"Cabo" JimAnd what are they typically moving away from traditional means to do that?
Dr. Greet BaestaensUh traditional means, such as I would say, Botox and fillers, uh, due to the data that we have now, long-term data, you know, of course, Botox is a toxin, and fillers they are not disappearing in the face, they're migrating, what becomes very unhealthy, and the fluid builds up. So people that know the data uh will go for a natural approach.
How REYU Microcurrent Works
"Cabo" JimVery nice, very nice. So, so someone that's brand new to uh renew you, what's the simplest way to explain what what it does, what the process is?
Dr. Greet BaestaensWell, we trigger actually with a REYU device, it's a microcurrent. We trigger the um natural uh rejuvenation from the inside. So our body is a self-healing, you know, or is self-healing in general, and we go to a cellular level, we trigger that with a microcurrent that the body is reacting to build up the muscles in your face, ligaments, bone structures. So that's really what it is.
"Cabo" JimGot it. And so it's inside-out healing, kind of, right? And then I've heard something called uh biofeedback loops. What are those?
Dr. Greet BaestaensYes, so the biofeedback loops that means that uh the procedure is really long-lasting because we work with your central system, and you have a pathway that goes to your central system, and then a pathway that goes back to the muscle. So that's a loop, and that loop will be rejuvenated. So you have better contractions of the muscle, but also better relaxation, so more balance, and we really need relaxation to not form uh wrinkles in the
Stress, Inflammation, And Aging Signals
Dr. Greet Baestaensface.
"Cabo" JimAnd then do things like stress, inflammation, aging, all that stuff interfere with these loops?
Dr. Greet BaestaensAbsolutely. Stress, uh, inflammation. Uh, you know, if somebody's stressed, you can see the tightness in their face, you can you can see that, and it will age you much quicker. Inflammation, uh long-term chronic inflammation is the cause of long uh chronic diseases, uh, such as, you know, uh neuropathy or cancer or whatever being diabetic is all the causes inflammation. So we want to work at the cellular level that we keep the cells healthy and they function in the right way.
"Cabo" JimSo instead of chasing the make maybe one symptom, you're looking at the body as a connected system, correct?
Dr. Greet BaestaensAbsolutely. The body is actually electricity. Uh, you know, so it the the cells communicate in the right way. If they stop communicating uh in the right way, that's when you form actually also, for example, uh, you know, long-term diseases. So communication is very important, so the electrolytes in your body are important, and so the right frequencies are important, so to have a healthy, you know, inside of our body.
Prevention Versus Acute Care Medicine
"Cabo" JimSo so does modern medicine still play a part in this?
Dr. Greet BaestaensUh I would say, you know, modern medicine, we still need it for acute uh situations. Like, for example, we have a stroke, we need to go to the hospital, we have a heart attack, we need to go to the hospital. Uh, we have a fracture, we need to go to the hospital. But otherwise, the RU device, the natural revolution, is really going preventing inflammation, so you will never create symptoms as a heart attack or as cancer or as you know, other diseases. So we really want to go to more prevention and keep that cell communication healthy, no inflammation, and so our cells communicate perfect and it's more preventative medicine.
"Cabo" JimAbsolutely, preventative maintenance. We do that a lot. We do it with our vehicles before it becomes a problem. We want to take care of it before it becomes
Your First Visit And Treatment Plan
"Cabo" Jima problem. So walk us through the first visit. What happens when somebody comes in and they're curious about REYU?
Dr. Greet BaestaensWell, the first visit we will go oversee what you know they see as an issue. Let's say we talk about uh neck and face. Um, you know, if they want to have some lifting, we will talk about this is uh not a quick fix, such as Botox and fillers. It's gonna take time because your body is gonna heal uh inside, and that is taking time. So we do about four treatments close to each other to kick in that self-healing mechanism, and then the tone of the muscles in your face will get uh you get more tone. So you the shape of your face will change like it is uh facelift. The only difference is that it's you you look like yourself, but you look like yourself when you, you know, 10 years ago or 15 years ago, everybody is a little different depending on their lifestyle, and then the client can decide uh that they move on with uh treatment.
"Cabo" JimSo, so what's the first change people visibly see? Is it physical, is emotion, is it energy?
Dr. Greet BaestaensActually, you know, uh when they come in after the first treatment, they can visibly see actually, you know, that they're more awake, more alert. It's very relaxing because we take a picture before the treatment the first time, and we take immediately after the treatment uh picture, put them next to each other, they can see like a difference immediately, they look glowing, um, you know, they feel relaxed because it's also it it's a relaxation therapy, it's used in mental health actually. So, no downtime, they can move on with their life as before. There is it's all good, there's nothing negative about
Why Clients Quit Fillers
Dr. Greet Baestaensit.
"Cabo" JimThat is great. And so, what are you seeing currently? Is why what's the main reason people are coming to see and use reunion right now?
Dr. Greet BaestaensSorry, because I think yeah, I think more and more people are starting to look into natural uh solutions, you know, they see you know the people on the street that are overdone with fillers and Botox, they're getting away from they see people with these swollen faces uh overdumb. And and you know, not to say filler, well, fillers are in my way of thinking unhealthy, but if a physician would do it very minimum and not overdo it and keep on filling and filling when you go over that limit and you look like you have a swollen face, or you look like everybody else that goes to that same doctor, and yeah, they just you know, at a certain point they should say enough, and that's it. So people that look at other individuals and they see that they look weird because they've they they really start looking weird after a while, those people will move on to the natural uh rejuvenation. So they want they want to look like themselves. So we we call it it's you, but only younger. So you're really gonna look like yourself still.
"Cabo" JimSo what claims would you personally maybe avoid because they you know overpromise?
Dr. Greet BaestaensWell, if uh I would probably if the client is uh living an unhealthy lifestyle, you know, we your body is not gonna give you the results of self-healing. If you you you know, you don't your nutrition is not uh good, you use too much sun, you're in the sun too much, too much, and uh you know, you drink a lot of alcohol. When you're not living a healthy lifestyle, you're probably not the best candidate for the natural you know rejuvenation because you need to be healthy to have that also healthy look from the outside.
"Cabo" JimAbsolutely. And you
Sun Protection And Home Consistency
"Cabo" Jimmentioned being here in Florida. So, what's your Florida-proof advice for protecting the results?
Dr. Greet BaestaensWell, you know, like we say, just sun protection. It's uh sun protection when you are go out in the sun, especially you know, during the day when you're boating some protection and reapply it and and wear a hat. So we can do the we can do the treatment as long as you use sun protection, wear a hat. And when you're really out in the sun the whole day, you have to reapply. Or you play pickleball or you play tennis outside, reapply your sun protection.
"Cabo" JimYeah, it's not like you can cause all this damage and miraculously come in and have it all fixed. You need to do your part and take care of yourself as well.
Dr. Greet BaestaensYes. Yes. And consistency is the key thing, you know, like with anything, is you have to be consistent with your treatment at home, what we give you as a home program, you know, and uh, and that's really just it. Most of the time it's a very simple treatment. It's some protection and and a moisturizer or or a corrective serum. We want to keep it as simple as possible, but you need to be consistent, you know, what we tell you to do. Uh, anybody, I would say 80% is if we do the rey treatment here, 80% is still getting better what you do at home.
Consults, Safety Limits, And Progress Photos
"Cabo" JimAbsolutely. So somebody wants to be part of the natural revolution but feels maybe a little bit overwhelmed. Where should they start?
Dr. Greet BaestaensWell, they they just can come in and we do consultations and explain it. And uh, you know, that's really explain it as as good as we can. It's pretty simple to explain. We show the device, there is no negative side effects. Uh, only when you have a pacemaker, we will not treat you, or you have epilepsy. But otherwise, you know, they come in, we can explain it. We show before and after pictures from people that are treated. Uh, we show pictures after one treatment, after four treatments, so they can see uh the difference, and then they can decide they want to do that or not.
"Cabo" JimAnd are there certain things that are tracked? Obviously, you're tracking things over, say maybe a month's time to see whether they're improving or not.
Dr. Greet BaestaensYes, yeah, pictures are very important. Our pictures were taken exactly at the same spot with the camera exactly at the same spot. So we will compare apples with apples, so with the same light, and we do a picture uh before the first treatment, after the first treatment, before the after the fourth treatment, and then you know, maybe when when they're done and start their maintaining process. So really they can see their progress.
Defining True Rejuvenation And Closing
"Cabo" JimVery good. So to close things out, kind of what does true rejuvenation mean to you? Not just cosmetically, but in confidence, vitality, and basically your quality of life.
Dr. Greet BaestaensYeah, true rejuvenation starts at a cellular level. If we don't start treating people at their cellular level, there is no true rejuvenation, it starts from within. There is nothing that can help from the outside. And I think the past with the lasers, with all you know, the other the fillers, the bootox, prove that there is no true rejuvenation from the outside. It's that's just very temporary, and you look at the end really bad. True rejuvenation, you know, comes from a cellular level, and your whole body is healthy and it will show it on the outside.
"Cabo" JimVery good. Any last words for our listeners today?
Dr. Greet BaestaensRight now, I would say jump on the wagon of the natural revolution, because we are ahead of the game, and pretty soon, you know, uh all the places that have the REYU device will be so booked you cannot get in.
"Cabo" JimThat's a good problem to have, especially for you.
Dr. Greet BaestaensYeah, Dr.
"Cabo" JimGreet, thank you. It was great. It's been a pleasure speaking with you and uh looking at REYU and the natural revolution. Uh, hope to hope to be part of it moving forward. Get out there and get it done. Thank you. Thank you, Jim. Thank you. Take care.
