E188: Why we need algae for longevity, more energy, better sleep and more with ENERGYbits Founder and CEO Catharine Arnston

Catharine Arnston is an expert is algae nutrition, a wellness thought leader, an experienced entrepreneur, and sought after speaker. Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking). As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born. In this episode you will discover: What is algae and the different types Who needs algae and why The differences between chlorella and spirulina and the benefits of each one How algae is different than supplements (it is food) and why it is bioavailable and can replace some supplements How algae can help remove toxins in the body How ENERGYbits algae is sourced Catharine is a wealth of knowledge and you can feel her passion during this conversation.
