"Algae isn’t new; it’s just new to you. Algae is the most studied food in the world."

Catharine Arnston

Listen in as Catharine Arnston gives a primer on algae as well as the difference between chlorella and spirulina and the massive health benefits of each. Catharine is the founder and CEO of ENERGYbits, an algae-based nutrition snack company catering to both athletes and everyday health-conscious individuals who are looking for plant-based whole foods to fuel their brain and body with maximum nutrition, minimal processing, and zero sugar.

She was driven to start the company after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine soon discovered the benefits of algae and, as it turns out, algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world. (Her sister is also now cancer-free!)

Prior to founding ENERGYbits in 2009 (which initially spun out of her health coaching company, Bits of Health), Catharine was the founder and CEO of Hoteluxury Inc., an ecommerce solution for luxury hotels, and its sister company Hoteluxury Media.

Powerful Quotes by Catharine Arnston

If anybody knows anything about algae, they think of it as pond scum or messing up your beach days, or cluttering up your swimming pool or aquarium. But I’m here to tell you that it’s the most super-powerful superfood in the universe. You just have to be sure that you’re consuming it from an agricultural source.

[Spirulina and chlorella] work together beautifully—spirulina giving you the energy throughout the day for your sport; chlorella pulling out toxins, building your wellness, helping with your detox and repair.

Because [both spirulina and chlorella] have such high chlorophyll, chlorophyll blended with red light therapy generates ATP at the mitochondrial level, which is stunning. Red light therapy is finally getting recognized not only for its ability to remove inflammation and improve muscular repair and recovery and skin repair, but also for the ATP boost you get when you blend it with algae.

The nutrients of spirulina and chlorella are virtually the same as mother’s breast milk which we know to be the perfect food. Because algae was given to us by Mother Nature and it was the first life on Earth, I consider it Earth’s breast milk.
