Summary
In today’s episode, we dive into one of my all-time favorite topics: mitochondrial health — and the tiny-but-mighty superfood that can completely change your energy, your longevity, and the way your cells function. A.k.a SPIRURLINA and chlorella, my favorite foods on the planet!! We’re talking algae, baby.
I’m joined by the brilliant Catharine Arnston, founder of EnergyBits, who has spent the last decade researching algae, mitochondrial repair, cancer prevention, and the real science behind what keeps us youthful, vibrant, and resilient. And yes… this superfood is algae, and I promise, your mind is about to be blown.
We talk about:
• How algae became the most nutrient-dense food on the planet
• Why mitochondria are the literal power plants of your cells (and what happens when they break down)
• The shocking link between mitochondrial dysfunction, aging, and chronic illness
• How spirulina and chlorella can support detoxification, DNA repair, and long-term health
• The cancer-preventive properties of chlorella (the research is wild)
• Why this tiny green tablet outperforms most supplements on the market
• How to use EnergyBits for daily energy, cleansing, hormones, skin health, and recovery
• Why beauty, vitality, and longevity are mitochondrial conversations
• The one thing most people are doing wrong with their morning routine that's tanking their cellular energy
This is one of those episodes that changes how you look at your body forever. Catharine is a wealth of wisdom, and I left this conversation buzzing with inspiration (and ordering more algae… obviously).

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a Dear Media production. |
| 0:09.1 | Hey guys, it's Jordan Younger, your host of the Balance Blonde Soul on Fire podcast. |
| 0:14.4 | Here we go deep on all things, astrology, awakening, wellness, motherhood, channeling, aliens, and so much more. We have deep conversations. |
| 0:23.9 | We go to other realms. It's a lot of fun. So stick around. Let's dive on in. I cannot wait to connect. |
| 0:34.4 | Hello guys. We have another bonus episode for you today, which is so exciting. |
| 0:41.0 | I feel like we've had a couple bonuses lately, which makes me so happy. |
| 0:46.3 | This one is about a topic I'm obsessed with, which is spirulina and algae. |
| 0:53.2 | So if you've ever spent time around me, if you've come on any of my |
| 0:58.0 | retreats ever met me in person, there's a really good chance. You have seen me with spirulina |
| 1:04.2 | all over my face because I put it on everything. I put it on my salads. I put it on my eggs. I drink it in every smoothie I've |
| 1:12.8 | ever had. And so today I was beyond excited to learn that spirulina is like the number one superfood |
| 1:21.4 | of the century, specifically algae. So today I had the amazing honor of interviewing Catherine Arnston. |
| 1:30.9 | She is the founder of EnergyBits. So I've been in contact with Energy Bits as you'll hear in this |
| 1:37.2 | conversation for at least eight to 10 years. I was an OG wellness influencer. You guys know this. I've always been sent so many products that |
| 1:47.4 | they overflow from my house and make my husband really mad because I never organize them properly. |
| 1:53.9 | But one thing that I always put right in my kitchen when it comes to us is energy bits. |
| 2:00.4 | So they're pure plant-based spirulina |
| 2:02.4 | and crella tablets that fuel your body and your mind. And to have the opportunity to interview |
| 2:08.7 | the founder was so cool because I had so many questions for her. But I also had no idea that algae |
| 2:16.5 | is like the mitochondrial superfood. |
| 2:20.7 | So I love their philosophy, which is food, not supplements, because of course we can all |
| 2:27.0 | take all the supplements in the world. |
