Summary
Could the answer to women's health be found in a microscopic superfood well known in Asia? When Catharine Arnston's sister received a breast cancer diagnosis in 2008, neither could have predicted it would launch Catharine into a 15-year deep dive into what might be the most overlooked superfood on the planet: algae. What began as research into alkaline diets evolved into a mission to transform how we approach women's health, especially during the challenging perimenopause and menopause transitions.
In this information-packed conversation, you'll discover the "double hit" women face during menopause, and why your mitochondria are literally "the lights in your building" that start dimming with age. Catharine reveals the critical enzyme (SOD) that protects your mitochondria but dramatically declines after age 30, how spirulina contains the highest concentration of this enzyme in the world, why the blue pigment in spirulina (phycocyanin) has scientists excited about its cancer-fighting potential, and why popular "green powders" and many algae supplements fail to deliver the promised benefits. We also explore the benefits of chlorella for detoxification and overall wellness and how incorporating algae into our daily routine plays a critical role in maintaining our cellular health. Listen to discover why Catharine believes "it's never too late to feel good" and how this microscopic superfood might just be the missing piece in your wellness puzzle.
