chlorella

I’m joined by Catharine Arnston, Founder, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits, the small-but-mighty superfood algae tablets. Catharine shares her vast knowledge of the powerful healing properties of algae and how these superfoods may be the key to help heal chronic health issues.

Catharine’s journey into the world of algae began in 2008 after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and her oncologist advised an alkaline diet. While helping her sister find alkaline foods that could improve her health, she stumbled upon thousands of studies on algae’s healing properties. Catharine shares how algae has the power to heal disease and improve your well-being and the specific makeup of ENERGYbits.

From there, Catharine details the importance of sourcing, the difference between fresh spring water and natural waters, and why intentional sourcing is a long-term investment for your overall health. Catharine illustrates the health and diet benefits of two types of blue-green microalgae — chlorella and spirulina — and notes the spiritual essence of spirulina as the highest vibrational food on earth. 

Then, Catharine explains how mitochondria generate cellular energy in the body and the many reasons why it's considered “the powerhouse.” She also shares why damaged mitochondria DNA can lead to treating health and two ways to protect mitochondria in support of health and longevity. Plus, Catharine provides the historical relevance of spirulina and evolutionary studies around human aging. 

Listen to this jam-packed episode and learn about the incredible benefits of algae and ways to support and activate your mitochondria for health, energy, and vitality.

Catharine Arnston 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.

It took Catharine ten years to bring algae into the mainstream and build ENERGYbits into a national company.

A QUICK NOTE:
 Welcome to the podcast formerly known as Health and Hustle, briefly flirted with Living Consciouslie (but someone else consciously made a quicker trek to the trademark office - no joke, beat me by a day) and is now proudly called "Inspired with Nika Lawrie"! Why the name changes, you ask? Because even podcasts go through identity crises and need a little soul-searching. I’m keeping the old audio as a tribute to the 'awkward teenage years' in the entrepreneurial journey. Buckle up for a trip down memory lane and thanks for tuning in to my ever-evolving adventure!

IN THIS EPISODE:
Today Nika is joined by Catharine Arnston, Founder and CEO of EnergyBits, a nationally recognized company dedicated to providing access to naturally grown, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae and educating people of the amazing benefits of the most nutritionally dense food in the world.

On this Episode, number 136, of the “Just Bein’ Honest Podcast”, MIND IS BLOWN!!! Who would've thunk it! Another alignment of the STARS with this powerful woman + ahem, VIRGO sister!!! I get to gaggle about the healing benefits of ALGAE - this food that you will want to adapt in to your lifestyle ASAP - I mean... A S A P !

CATHARINE ARNSTON started ENERGYbits (Apply Code: "JBH" at checkout for 20% OFF!) 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.

It took Catharine eight years to bring algae into the mainstream and build ENERGYbits into a national company. We're glad she finally did, because now you and your family can benefit from our naturally grown, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets too. A handful will help satisfy your hunger, help give you steady energy, and help ensure your nutritional needs are met. All this from a food that has one ingredient, no chemicals, caffeine, sugar or processing and is the most sustainable, safe, eco-friendly, crop in the world - algae. Your body and Mother Earth say thank you. And we do too.

Let's get on it!

xoxo KB

In this episode, Dr. Eeks chats with Dr. Piotr Rzymski, who is a researcher with the Department of Environmental Medicine at Poznan University of Medical Sciences. He has over 140 publications in peer-reviewed journals and has a strong interest in analyzing the ingredients in commercial supplements, as well as the presence of any contaminants or teratogenic compounds, meaning things that can harm a developing fetus. This particular conversation will focus around his paper, "Essential and toxic elements in commercial microalgal supplements." The microalgal supplements include Spirulina and Chlorella, both of which are very popular and often called "Superfoods."  The podcast covers his research findings related to these supplements and others, his recommendations to consumers and his advice on how to make the industry safer.
