About My Guest Catharine Arnston Founder & CEO of ENERGYbits® Inc. Algae Nutrition Expert Catharine Arnston is an expert in algae nutrition, a wellness thought leader, an experienced entrepreneur, and a sought-after speaker. Catharine has a PhD, MBA, BA Hons, and is a board-certified health coach. Catharine's journey into the fascinating world of algae began in 2008 when her younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would improve her healing. Catharine left her 25- year corporate career to help her sister identify which foods were alkaline and this led her to algae - the most alkaline, chlorophyll-rich, high-protein, nutrient-dense food in the world. When Catharine learned that algae's vast healing properties were documented in tens of thousands of scientific studies but that none of these studies or benefits were known outside of Asia, she knew she needed to do something. And so ENERGYbits® was born. Catharine has spent the last fifteen years researching algae, writing papers, giving presentations, lecturing at conferences, and speaking on 300+ podcasts to explain the benefits of algae. To do this, she read thousands of scientific papers that detailed, validated, and confirmed algae's nutritional, health, longevity, and global benefits. Remarkably none of these findings are known by consumers. It is Catharine's vision and passion to change this and her PhD in natural health has given her the scientific fluency that allows her to explain algae with such simplicity and clarity, it quickly becomes obvious why algae is something we all urgently need. Catharine's passion for algae is contagious, inspiring and thought-provoking. Her efforts have led to algae being better understood by educators, consumers, doctors, and wellness practitioners. Catharine's extensive knowledge and playful personality is both entertaining and educating and her speaking style leaves audiences informed, uplifted, and hopeful.
Not fish food but brain food and gut food. That's how you should understand algae. I was blown away by the research on algae and its most powerful component superoxide dismutase. From MS to Alzheimer's and PTSD, the super nutrient profile of spiralina and chlorella is an energy and mental performance game-changer that costs less than $1 a day. Join me and Catharine Arnston in this empowering algae educational masterclass. Catharine Arnston founded ENERGYbits® after discovering the extraordinary health benefits of algae while researching ways to support her sister's recovery from breast cancer. She learned that algae is the most nutrient-dense, plant-based, and alkaline food on the planet—packed with 64% protein, 40 vitamins and minerals, and backed by over 100,000 scientific studies, as well as endorsements from NASA and the United Nations. Despite its long history of use in Asia, algae remained virtually unknown in the West, which inspired Catharine to spend a decade building ENERGYbits® into a trusted, national brand. Today, her company offers pure, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets that support energy, satiety, and nutrition in a sustainable, eco-friendly form.Join us as we explore:Everything algae - it's unique evolutionary history, why Cathrine calls it “spirit-lina”, its nutritional and disease fighting profile and why it's an energy and cognitive performance game-changer for anyone older than 40. How algae works as an ATP catalyst, boosts the most powerful antioxidant superoxide dismutase and keeps you younger for longer.What sets ENERGYbits apart from other algae products, why to choose the blue one (chlorella) or the green one (spirulina) and why professional athletes are using up to 75 tablets pre-game for maximum energy and focus.Incredible algae studies - MS tremors disappear, 50% HRV increase, mitochondria maximization and miraculous brain healing.Contact: Website: https://energybits.com/Mentions:Research - Algae Research, https://energybits.com/pages/algae-researchNon-profit - Grey Team, https://www.greyteam.orgDiagnostic - mescreen, https://mescreen.co.zaSupport the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

In Episode 161 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with Dr. Catharine Arnston, founder and CEO of ENERGYbits, to explore one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet — algae. With over 15 years dedicated to researching and educating about spirulina and chlorella, Dr. Arnston shares her fascinating journey from a career in international business to becoming a global advocate for algae nutrition. It all started when her sister's battle with breast cancer inspired her to learn about plant-based nutrition and the healing power of alkaline foods.Dr. Arnston explains why spirulina and chlorella are considered superfoods among superfoods — boasting more protein per gram than steak, rich in essential fatty acids, packed with B vitamins, chlorophyll, antioxidants, and powerful compounds like phycocyanin and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Spirulina is an energy-boosting, hunger-satisfying, mitochondria-supporting powerhouse, while chlorella is the ultimate detoxifier, binding to heavy metals, pesticides, mold, and other toxins. Together, they address three major modern health challenges: nutrient deficiencies, toxin overload, and age-related cellular decline.Listeners will learn exactly how to incorporate these foods into their daily lives — from quick energy before workouts to deep detox support at night — and why they're safe for everyone from kids to grandparents (even pets). Dr. Arnston shares specific protocols, including dosages, timing, and pairing strategies for maximum benefits, as well as unique “biohacks” combining algae with red light therapy, cold plunges, and saunas.Whether you're looking to boost your athletic performance, support longevity, enhance detoxification, or simply fill nutritional gaps in a clean, convenient way, this episode will open your eyes to the untapped potential of algae. Plus, you'll hear Dr. Arnston's vision for bringing algae farming to the U.S. — making this ancient food a modern health staple.Key Takeaways:Dr. Arnston's journey from international business to algae nutrition expertSpirulina = “nourishment in” for energy, focus, protein, and mitochondria healthChlorella = “toxins out” for detox, gut health, and immune supportSpirulina has 3x more protein (by weight) than steak; 64% bioavailable proteinChlorella binds to heavy metals, pesticides, mold, and microplasticsBoth algae are rich in chlorophyll — nature's blood builderNo lectins or oxalates — gentle on digestion and autoimmune-friendlyHigh in B vitamins for energy conversion at the cellular levelContains glutathione and SOD for antioxidant and mitochondrial protectionBiohacks: spirulina before workouts, sauna, or cold plunge; chlorella afterChlorella stimulates peristalsis for healthy bowel movementsSafe for all ages, pets included; easy to travel withNutrient-dense enough to replace multiple supplementsLearn More about Dr. Catharine Arnston and ENERGYbits:Website: https://energybits.com/Use discount code FitFamily at checkout and receive 20% off your order.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/energybits/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/catharinearnston/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ENERGYbits/YouTube:

For all you long distance, runners and triathlon folks … if your calves are bigger than your ass… your need to give it up. Relearn how to move. Most people can't withstand the amount of joint impact. Leading to inflammation, cortisol spikes and more fat retention and muscle loss. Most people have terrible running form and are creating compensation patterns and joint discomfort in their day-to-day lives The super “healthy” eating, oddly skinny people who run too much, continuously fight an uphill battle with gaining muscle, and typically don't eat enough protein because all they care about is carb fueling, are hurting their longevity Most people should get fit to run, not run to get fit. Most people would benefit more from fixing their muscle imbalances and improving movement patterns, especially their gait. “Most people!” Let's say 70% of Americans are overweight or obese. Let's assume 50% of them want to improve their overall health and keep their weight in a consistently healthy range. These are the people I'm referring to.If that is you… That's okay! There is a solution… Dietary changes (whole different convo but has to be a vital part of the equation) Do 15-30 minute simple “workouts” 3-5x per week- Walking, Biking, Swimming- Basic ankle, hip and shoulder mobility- Basic bodyweight exercisesThis episode is brought to you by:EnergyBits.com : Use code “LimitlessTheory” for 20% OFF!

Angela talks to Catherine Arnston about the profound concepts of abundance and spiritual connection. Catherine shares her extensive background in Kabbalah and mindfulness, emphasising that abundance is our birthright and how our perception of reality can limit our ability to receive. The conversation explores the importance of being a vessel for energy, the significance of heart coherence, and the impact of trauma on our capacity to embrace abundance. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Abundance is our natural state, and it is essential to recognise that we are vessels for infinite energy. True abundance comes from operating from the heart, which is always in a state of wholeness and peace. Many individuals struggle with receiving abundance due to unhealed trauma and limiting beliefs. Establishing a spiritual practice is vital for personal growth and abundance. Engaging in daily rituals, such as gratitude prayers or meditation, can help individuals connect with their higher selves and the divine BEST MOMENTS "We are each a vessel for the infinite... the energy that is swirling the rings around Saturn is the same energy that is flowing through us." "When you're moving from your mind, which is all ego driven, you'll just keep pushing abundance further and further away." "You can't have more of something you have a bad relationship with." "When you believe God is your provision, you're unattached to money. So now it's safe for you to have it."
