Summary

It’s time for the world to wake up to algae. I’ve been using spirulina and chlorella for years, but it’s my first time tackling this topic on the podcast. That’s why I’m so excited to welcome Catharine Arnston, a powerhouse of algae knowledge and the founder of ENERGYbits, to the show. Visit energybits.com and use code LUKE for 20% off.

Catharine discovered the power of algae when she was helping her sister navigate chemotherapy treatment. Through years of extensive research, she uncovered the truth about algae – it’s the most alkaline, chlorophyll-rich, high-protein, nutrient-dense food in the world. 

Today, we take a deep dive under the sea into all things algae. Catharine tells us why algae is the ultimate biohack for energy, brain health, gut health, immunity, athletic performance, and overall vitality. She explains the differences between spirulina and chlorella, and why they work together as a dynamic duo – laying the groundwork for how and why not all algae is created equal. 

Catharine also explains ENERGYbits’ unique process for creating the highest quality, cleanest algae. By the end of this episode, it’s easy to see why algae is one of the most intelligent and powerful foods out there.

So Catherine, how did you get in to the world of algae?

0:13.0

Well, I tell people, I didn't pick algae, it picked me.

0:17.0

I had a corporate career for 25 years,

0:21.0

and then my younger sister in Canada because I'm Canadian develop breast

0:26.3

cancer. First of all I want everyone to know if she's fine and she did recover

0:30.4

but this was 15 years ago.

0:32.6

And as she was preparing for chemotherapy,

0:35.4

her oncologist, which is a cancer specialist,

told her she needed to change her diet
