I am delighted to reconnect with Dr. Catharine Arnston today. She is the founder, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits. She last joined me on Episode 226 of the podcast. In our conversation, we dive into the importance of an alkaline lifestyle, looking at how our modern-day lifestyles expose us to toxins while contributing to soil depletion and poor-quality food. We discuss the benefits of spirulina, the effects of mitochondrial dysfunction in perimenopause and menopause, the role of free radicals and antioxidants, and the research currently being done on Me Screen, spirulina, and chlorella. We cover the differences between chlorella and spirulina, explaining how chlorella impacts the immune system and gut microbiome and how it is beneficial for cleansing, toning, healing, and overcoming hangovers. We explain how algae can help us reverse our biological or chronologic age, Catharine shares some tips for aging gracefully, and we also create a mini-course on algae. I know you will love and appreciate today’s invaluable conversation with Dr. Catharine Arnston.IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:The health benefits of an alkaline lifestyle and how algae helps in maintaining blood PH levelsHow soil degradation and over-processing impact the quality of our food Why algae farming is sustainable and beneficial for the environmentThe nutritional benefits of spirulina and chlorella compared to those of collagen.How the non-stimulant effects of spirulina assist in ATP generationWhy mitochondrial health is crucialHow aging impacts ATP productionHow chlorella aids the detoxification processHow combining spirulina with chlorella leads to optimum healthCatharine shares lifestyle hacks for aging gracefullyConnect with Cynthia Thurlow  Follow on TwitterInstagramLinkedInCheck out Cynthia’s websiteSubmit your questions to [email protected]Connect with Dr. Catharine ArnstonENERGYbits - Use the code CYNTHIATHURLOW for a 20% discount on all ENERGYbits productsOn Instagram and FacebookPrevious Episode Mentioned:Ep. 226 The Incredible Benefits of Algae, Chlorella, and Spirulina with Dr. Catharine Arnston
