Summary

In this episode, host Ben Azadi and guest Catharine Arnston explore the critical role of mitochondria in metabolism and aging. Ben introduces his new book "Metabolic Freedom" and discusses the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), which protects mitochondria from free radicals. Catherine highlights the benefits of algae, particularly spirulina and chlorella, in supporting mitochondrial health. They discuss algae's high SOD content, its role in combating inflammation, and its nutritional superiority. Catherine emphasizes the importance of consuming raw, high-quality algae to preserve its nutrients and shares her personal experiences and commitment to promoting algae for public health. https://energybits.com/discount/FREEDOM?rfsn=7850650.87c475&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=7850650.87c475 (20% off automatically applied) 🔥 We Discussed: Importance of mitochondria in cellular health and energy production Role of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in protecting mitochondria from oxidative stress Benefits of algae, particularly spirulina and chlorella, for mitochondrial health Nutritional superiority of algae compared to traditional vegetables Impact of aging on mitochondrial function and SOD production Misconceptions about algae in Western culture versus its use in Asian diets Importance of consuming raw algae to preserve nutrients and enzymes Connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and chronic diseases Practical tips for incorporating algae into daily diets Potential of algae to enhance overall health and longevity Links and Resources: ⚡️Get Energybits: https://energybits.com 📚 🎁 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Gary Brecka, Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

0:00.0	That's what superoxide dismutase does at the cellular level in the mitochondria.
0:05.6	It basically turns the free radicals that are being released as ATP production into water
0:12.1	and oxygen.
0:13.2	Tada!
0:14.4	Saves the mitochondria DNA.
0:16.6	So everything's working.
0:17.7	You've got that big Gulf umbrella until the age of 40. By the age of 40, you have less superoxide dismutase being produced.
0:24.6	That golf umbrella is now about the size of a totes umbrella.
0:27.6	So your poor mitochondria, they're getting a little protection, but they're still dodging
0:31.6	raindrops and they're getting a little bit of damage, a little bit of death, but they're still okay. After 40, that golf umbrella, which reduced to a
0:38.7	little tote umbrella, is now the size of a cocktail umbrella. Basically, no protection at all.
0:45.3	This is when your mitochondria start dying at massive rates, because they are no longer protected
0:52.3	from the reign of free radicals that are happening all the time.
0:57.0	And nobody knows that you can find superoxide dismutase in the highest concentrations in the universe in spiruline algae. The Greek definition for metabolism is to transform. Your metabolism is designed to take food and to transform it into energy so you feel good and burn fat.
1:30.3	We are determined to deliver the science and art of metabolism to you.
1:34.5	We bring on the thought leaders in this space to have life-changing conversations so you
1:39.1	could apply and upgrade your metabolism.
1:41.7	The topics covered here include biohacking, ketosis, carnivore, fasting strategies,
1:47.8	mindset, and metabolic health. Your body was built to be self-healing. Our goal is to identify
1:53.8	the interference and remove it. You are a masterpiece because you are a piece of the master.
2:00.0	Welcome to the Metabolic Freedom Podcast.
2:02.5	My name is Ben Azadi.
