E199: The Algae Advantage: How this nutrient dense food reduces inflammation, improves gut health, boosts immunity and more with Energy Bits Founder & CEO Catharine Arnston

The Art of Living Well Podcast®

Catharine Arnston is an expert in 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 learn:

• A brief background on the different types of algae and how they are the most nutrient dense food in the world.

• How algae can help flatten inflammation, reduce chronic disease, boost your immunity, improve digestion, hair, skin, brain focus, athletic performance and so much more.

• The science behind how our body makes energy, how free radicals damage our mitochondria, and how taking ENERGYbits can prevent this from happening.

• The benefits of algae over collagen including how both spirulina and chlorella are complete protein sources.

• The power of algae to help with longevity and brain health, and the positive impact that spirulina has in protecting our telomeres from damage.

• Stories from customers who have taken ENERGYbits and their life changing experiences.

These little bits of nutrient dense food cost less than $1/day (less when using code living). Why not give it a try and experience some of these incredible benefits for yourself?
