On this week's Wellness Wednesday episode, Evan is revisited by the founder of Energy Bits Catharine Arnston. Energy Bits sources the highest quality spirulina and chlorella (algae) that Evan has ever tried. Evan has been a huge fan of spirulina and chlorella for over 10 years now, and Catharine explains why it should be one of your favorite health foods as well. Since spirulina and chlorella are algae, they are not considered supplements but rather a whole food! They are suitable to basically every dietary restriction as they are vegan and keto friendly, they are packed with nutrients with about the same amount of nutrients as an entire plate of fruit and vegetables in just a couple tablets. Even the United Nations and NASA endorse these algae as the most nutrient-dense food in the world. These algae have been used for centuries and have shown to nourish the body and contribute to longevity.

In this episode, Evan and Catharine give a brief overview of what spirulina and chlorella are and then dive deep into topics such as how spirulina and chlorella can be used to fight cancer as well as benefit people who are going through chemotherapy and radiation. They also talk about how spirulina is able to massively benefit your mitochondria which is a key factor in longevity. Be sure to have a pen and paper ready because Catharine will share a ton of valuable knowledge that you won't want to forget.

If you're ready to try the highest quality spirulina and chlorella, then head over to Energy Bits and use code ELEMENTAL at checkout to receive 20% off of your entire order. This is my thank you to all of you listeners for your continued support.

Enjoy this episode, do everything with good intentions and connect to your elements.

Welcome back to the elemental Evan show.

Thank you all so much for tuning in on this beautiful day.

Um, extremely excited to have every single one of you here tuning in because

I'm so stoked to be introducing you to Catherine Arnstein, who is the founder

of the company energy bits, which is a company that specializes in the highest

quality of chlorella and spirulina that I have found anywhere on the market.

It is truly one of the best things that you can be taking for

yourself because it is a food.

It is not just a supplement.

They are actually algae.

For those of you who do not know what chlorella and spirulina is.

So it is an allergy.

It is a whole food, essentially just put into these little tablet

forms that you can take just like your normal supplements.

But what's crazy about these is that they can actually replace.

Many of the supplements that you're already currently taking, because

they're so jam packed with beneficial nutrients that is going to be incredible

for every function of your body.

Now Catherine really gets deep today on what spirulina and chlorella are.

And very specifically, we move into the topic of bet, the benefits of

eating spirulina and chlorella in terms of cancer and the ability of

spirulina and a compound called phyco sign-in, which is actually the blue

pigment in the spirulina that is very effective in actually attacking

cancer and helping to get rid of it.

So we talk a little bit about that.

We also talk about if you are doing a traditional, uh, treatment for

cancer, such as chemotherapy or radiation and how still spirulina

and chlorella can massively benefit you, even if you're going.

Through that process.

So really excited to have her on today.

I'm honestly not going to talk too much more because she just covers, so in-depth

what spirulina and chlorella does that.

I'll just leave the talking to her.

Uh, but I'm so happy to have all of you here.

I think you're going to find this episode to be very, very beneficial.

She literally just lays down so much knowledge.

Um, it's like I'm sitting in a classroom just listening to a lecture and . My

brain is just filled to the brim with all the knowledge that she shared.

So I hope the same is true for all of you.

And before we jump into the episode, I just wanted to mention that if you

wanted to get your hands on some of these energy bits, which I highly,

highly recommend you do, they are.

R one of the.

You know, quote unquote supplements, even though there are a whole food, uh,

I take pretty much every actually not pretty much.

I take them every single day without missing a beat.

Um, they are one of my essentials that I have to have in my lineup every morning.

Because they are truly that good for you.

So highly recommend that you get your hands on some and I have a code here.

It is elemental, all caps.

Uh, through the energy bits, , website, and you can get 20% off your entire order.

So go ahead and check out the show notes.

I have the webpage linked there, and then you can go ahead and input

the code elemental at checkout for 20% off your entire order.

in your hands, but it's also going to help support the show, which I am

thoroughly grateful to all of you for.

So thank you very much, and I hope you enjoy this episode and

walk away with a ton of knowledge on spirulina and chlorella.

Already all enjoy the episode.

Peace.

Welcome back to the Elemental Evan Show.

I have on a returning guest who is one of my favorite people to talk

to because it's like sitting through an incredible lecture every time.

Uh, this is Catherine Aton, the founder of Energy Bits.

How are you doing, Catherine?

I'm excellent.

Thank you so much, Evan.

I, I love being a frequent flyer with you.

That's awesome.

No, I'm so happy to have you back on the show.

Uh, Tru.

One of my favorite guests because I leave this episode, or, well, I le I

left the last episode and then anytime I hear you talk, I leave, uh, with just so

much knowledge in my head and so much to take away from, uh, hearing you speak.

So really excited to have you on.

Yes.

Well we have, uh, more and more every time, every week I find

more about what algae does.

And it's not me doing the science, it's just me finding

the science cuz it's out there.

No.

And.

I know you, uh, last time we spoke, you had a term, and I want to say it

was like a, was it citizen scientist?

Uh, that you, you call yourself?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I encourage everybody else to do the same thing because, you know,

we, we have to educate ourselves so we can protect ourselves because,

you know, some of our current sy uh, systems just aren't doing it for.

And the science is there.

I know it may be difficult to wade through.

So one of the things I do try to help people with is I actually

enjoy waiting through the science.

I didn't know I was such a geek.

Uh, and then I try to make it easy for other people to understand these complex

matters, but the science is available.

Um, and that's why we have great authors.

There's a one I'm gonna talk to you about later on, uh, a book called Brain

Energy that was recently written by.

Dr.

Chris Palmer, who is a psychiatrist at the Harvard Medical School, and in his book

he talks about how every mental disorder doesn't matter whether it's Alzheimer's

anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder is due to a mitochondrial disease.

And, um, that makes sense when you find out that the brain has

the highest concentration of mitochondria in your entire body.

There's 2 million mitochondria per cell.

So, um, a lot of what, uh, and also as you're, you know, people are,

scientists are also realizing heart disease is a mitochondria disease,

cancer is a mitochondria disease, and we'll, We'll dig into some of that,

uh, in the show today because, um, the, as I said, the science is there.

It's just hasn't made its way out because I to the public, and I don't

think the pharmaceutical industry even wants you to know this sort of

stuff because, uh, then you won't be signing up for all their radiation

treatments and all that sort of jazz.

So, Anyways.

Um, it's just Mother Nature has provided for us.

We just need to have a better understanding of what

exactly, um, she's given us.

So that's kind of what I do.

Well, I think my statement in the beginning of this podcast is already true.

I'm already like buzzing, like, which is all the information

you're giving, so, Uh, no.

Super excited to, to dive into all of those topics.

Um, yeah, we are definitely going to, uh, specifically talk a lot on,

uh, definitely mitochondrial health as well as, uh, cancer and the

relation to chlorella and spirulina.

But for those of the listeners who maybe haven't listened to our last episode, or

they haven't really heard about spirulina and chlorella, would you mind giving?

A quick little rundown on absolutely what it is and, and why it's beneficial.

Yeah, you got it.

So first of all, algae was the first life on earth almost 4 billion years ago.

And it's all documented, uh, through evolutionary science, uh, sino bacteria.

By the way, spirulina is a sino bacteria, um, was the first life on earth.

And then, and it released oxygen.

Uh, and so after a billion years, other, uh, aerobic cells could grow, which then

led to other cells in life as we know it.

But I mentioned that because algae is every.

Uh, there's two main types of algae.

There's macroalgae and microalgae.

Macroalgae is, um, that stringy stuff that washes up on shore, also

known as seaweed or du or kelp.

And it's very good for you because it has lots of, uh, fiber and iodine

because it comes from the ocean.

But I will tell you, there's virtually zero nutrition, but good fiber.

Microalgae, which what we're talking about today is the complete opposite.

Zero fiber.

Zero fiber in spirulina, a teeny tiny amount in chlorella, um, but the most

concentrated nutrition in the world.

Even NASA says one gram of algae has the same nutrition as a thousand

grams of fruits or vegetables, and that's because they're so tiny.

They're called micro.

Because they're microscopic in size, you can't see them.

And unlike macroalgae, which is only in the sea with like,

that's why they call it seaweed.

Microalgae is everywhere.

It's in the lakes, the rivers, the streams, the oceans, uh,

it's what feeds the whales.

What feeds the fish.

Uh, it's in soil.

It's in your aquarium.

But the two that we're going to talk about, oh, and there's tens of

thousands of strains of microalgae.

You may have heard of bluegreen, algae and green algae, and there's tens of

thousands of all of those strains.

One strain of bluegreen algae is spirulina, and one strain

of green algae is chlorella.

And these are the ones that are harvested as food crops.

I'm showing you a picture of a spirulina farm.

Uh, it's grown in fresh water, so it not from the ocean.

Two important things here.

Algae is not a supplement.

It is a food crop grown hydroponically like many other vegetables

like lettuce and broccoli.

So it's food number one.

Number two, it's grown in fresh water.

Ours has grown in triple filtered spring mountain water, which is why we're, um,

considered the highest quality algae.

Also, we don't use high heat to dry it, and I'll talk about that a minute.

And chlorella grows in round.

Uh, uh, they're called ponds or farms.

So, so number one, algae food.

Sp microalgae is everywhere but the two we're talking about, spirulina

and chlorella are not from the ocean.

So if you read about a blue-green algae, uh, closing your favorite,

uh, beach, We're not talking about that, that might be toxic.

We're not talking about spirulina, we're that.

That's another strain of bluegreen algae.

And by the way, poor algae gets a bum wrap because algae kills bacteria.

So the reason why it's showing up and closing your beach is because there

is bacteria, there are toxins in the water, which you probably can't.

See, but algae can detect it.

And so it shows up to, it's basically the cleanup crew.

Uh, but that's what you see.

And so poor algae gets the, the bloom or the, the, the blame.

Um, but it's there to clean up.

And also algae kills bacteria in your body.

So, so spirulina and chlorella are harvested food crops.

Uh, and we're again renowned for a of the highest quality, uh, cuz of the water,

but also we then dry it into a powder.

And precedent into tiny tablets.

Now, we're unique in that we do not use high heat to dry our algae like

almost everybody else, and this will become very important when we get to

the mitochondria part because there's a very important antioxidant that is

an enzyme, and it's, it's a mouthful.

It's called superoxide dismutase, also known as s o d.

Um, and it's an enzyme, so high heat kills enzyme.

So if you want the maximum value from UR algae, especially in

this case, um, you know, uh, the antioxidant that protects your

mitochondria from free radical damage.

And that's no slummy job.

Uh, you need to have your algae to be raw and ours is raw.

So that, and there's also a pigment in spirulina.

Called FICO signin, and we'll talk about that in a minute.

It's the blue pigment.

If you've took a tablet of spirulina and put it on a plate of water, this

beautiful blue color would come out of it.

Uh, and the other chlor, um, chlorella only has one pigment, which is chlorophyl,

which is green, and it doesn't have the same properties as this blue one,

which we're gonna talk about, which is proven in science to kill cancer cells.

So, I don't wanna get ahead of myself, but the fact that we do not use high.

Protects the, the, uh, nutritional value so that you get maximum value from it.

There's so much nutrition in these spirulina and chlorella tablets that,

um, one tablet equals the same nutrition as an entire plate of vegetables.

So if you don't like vegetables, maybe you're traveling and you can't get to

summer, or maybe your kids won't eat them.

This is your answer because the tab, the algae, we press

them into these little tablets.

The, the size of a baby aspirin, we recommend at least 10 a

day, but you could take five.

Or you know, our NHL players take 75.

Spirulina before a game cuz it gives you energy and they take 75 of the

chlorella after a game because it, uh, pulls out lactic acid so, so spirulina.

Um, now that you know that it's food and it's grown in fresh water

so it's not toxic, it is the most concentrated nutrition in the world.

And I use that quote from NASA cuz we sell ours in large bags of a thousand tablet.

And I did the math and figured out one bag of a thousand tablets has

the same nutrition as 551 pounds of vegetables, and I remind people

that's 551 pounds of vegetables.

You didn't have to drag home from the grocery store stuff in your fridge.

Uh, clean cook or eat or fight with your kids or your husbands

or throw out when nobody eats it.

And let's face it, vegetables go bad quickly.

If you haven't noticed, your arugula goes yellow after about day three.

That's cuz it didn't start with much nutrition.

Um, I won't dwell on it, but we're, our food supply is so damaged,

our soils are so over cropped.

Um, scientists are calling this era the great.

Collapse because you're eating food, but you're not getting nutrition

and, and the combination of lack of nutrition and too many toxins.

The average adult, by the way, has 700 toxins in their body.

So the combination of not enough nutrition and too much toxicity is

what's causing all of this chronic disease, uh, fatigue, brain fog.

Well, the disease is actually your mitochondria being damaged,

and it manifests with symptom.

That look like brain fog, weight gain, bad digestion, um, uh, and, and, you

know, all kinds of mental issues.

So, so those are your symptoms and lots of people take drugs to manage the

symptoms, but ultimately what you need, you need to go further upstream and

correct the problem, which is the damage to the mitochondria from the missing.

And too many toxins.

And we'll, we'll address the two of them because spirulina is

probably the one I would recommend.

We call ours, as I mentioned, energy bits for the, um, mitochondria healing.

And Chlorella is well known for pulling out toxins.

It chelates them.

So the two of them work together, um, as sort of the perfect solution that

your, your dream team right here.

Um, so, so just so you understand, we'll get to how they each work on

the mitochondria level, but spirulina, as I mentioned, is a bluegreen algae.

It has that blue, beautiful blue pigment in it, and we'll get into

the, the benefits of that pigment, but it's also known as being energizing,

and it does that because it has the highest protein in the world.

Three times the amount of protein is steak.

And all the protein's already in amino acids.

So, and it has 18 of the 20, including the nine that your body can't make.

So it's a complete protein and then it's loaded with B vitamins.

And anybody who knows this, that bees turn B vitamins, bees turned, uh, the protein

into, um, uh, into glucose and energy.

So it, it gives you steady energy.

Now I wanna make the distinction between energy and stimulants.

Sugar, caffeine and chemicals are stimulants.

The worst one being sugar because it's also inflammatory causes insulin

spikes and cause all kinds of havoc.

Uh, in your gut biome, there is not a single redeeming thing

about sugar, but what we're talking about is cellular energy.

So, There is no rush crash like you would get from chemicals, caffeine, or sugar.

Um, it's just steady energy and so, you know, a lot of people, if you

just take 10 or 15 of the spirulina tablets, you may not even really

notice it because it's very quietly.

Energizing your cells.

But, um, but if you went for a run, you would notice it because you

would go run further or faster, or maybe you would lift weights, you

would lift more or lift longer.

So I tell people cellular energy is like, um, money.

You know, when you have more money, you can do more things and you

have more choices and you, and you use the money to do what it

is that you wanna do at that time.

So cellular energy is the same way you could.

20 or 30 spirulina tablets and go to bed, and you would have the best sleep of

your life because your cellular energy is being directed towards facilitating sleep.

But you could decide that you want to write an exam and you'll have great

focus, or maybe you wanna go for that run.

You'll have great energy.

So, so there's a big difference between having a stimulant and

having cellular energy and, um, you get it both on the short term and

long term with, with the spirulina.

So, uh, and on the protein, Most animal protein is bound up, so it can

take days to get broken into aminos.

Your, your collagen is in peptides, which are smaller clusters, but,

um, algae is individual aminos.

Um, so it gets absorbed so quickly.

The other reason why, The spirulina gets absorbed so quickly is it is

not a, a plant, it is a bacteria.

Remember I mentioned it was a, it's called a sino bacteria.

And the reason why that's important to know is there's nothing, no cellulous

wall for your body to break down, to get access to the aminos or any of

the other nutrients that are in there.

So very efficient, um, in nutrition, very bioavailable.

If you chew it, it's literally in your blood.

Seconds.

It almost bypasses digestion because your blood picks it up right away and

directs it to where it needs to go.

So, so that's, that's why we got noticed by athletes and triathletes and Olympic

athletes when we first started because it does give them that energy and focus.

We'll talk about some of the brain issues in a minute.

Um, and it doesn't upset their stomach because there's no

caffeine, chemicals, or sugar.

So, um, very, and so most people take spirulina.

In the morning, um, because that's when you're hungry and

you wanna get out the door.

It's when you're, you want a little bit of energy and both of

the algae are ketogenic, which means they have zero carbs.

They do not decrease your ketones.

They do not in interfere with your fast.

Intermittent fasting, they do not increase your glucose.

This has been studied, documented, and we've also done anecdotally tests

when we've been at different shows.

So anybody who's carnivore, paleo, ketogenic, low carb, uh, you know,

just want something fast and easy, this is your answer because it's unpro.

One ingredient, one calorie.

We don't market it as a weight loss, but I mean, you could have it for lunch if

you know 20 or 30 tablets for 30 calories, and you wouldn't be hungry for five hours.

And we've had people write us to confirm that.

And I, I intermittent fast every day and I.

You just have my algae tablets in the morning with some, some tea and

I usually eat something around three or four o'clock in the morning.

It saves you time, by the way.

It will save you money cuz your grocery bill honestly will just plummet.

Um, and you won't throw anything out.

You know, it's just talk about conservation.

And Dave Asbury just wrote a book about how to be smarter and healthier

and better with less energy.

And so like this is right up his alley.

This is about the minimum.

Effort that you would ever have to do to get maximum value.

If you can swallow water, uh, you can get all the energy and

nourishment that you need instantly with the smallest amount of effort.

So, yay, Dave.

I'm right on board with you.

Yeah.

Uh, no already, Catherine, I mean, Once again, I'm like, I, I, I need

to go back through this episode and, and just take notes because so much

good information is, is right in here.

And, and I can attest to the fact that, uh, I can, uh, You can eat this as kind

of a meal replacement in a way because at the Biohacking conference I saw

you putting down tons of the tablets, uh, because I, there was no time for

you to break away to go get some food.

So you were just there munching on those.

And um, definitely.

Uh, I have, I, I do intermittent fasting and I, I usually will

take, uh, you know, my supplements right before I begin eating.

Uh, but I have done, uh, multi-day fasting and I will take a few tablets

here and there, uh, throughout the fast, along with some salt and water.

Yeah.

Um, but yeah, just absolutely incredible.

Like you said, it's just.

Packed with so many nutrients, uh, vitamins, minerals, all the good

stuff that you could possibly want.

The fact it's an essential, it has all the essential amino acids in it.

Um, yeah.

It just, it can't be, can't be talked up enough.

Yeah.

Um, well, and lots of people say, well, can I take it on an empty stomach?

Cuz uh, other supplements make people nauseous and they make me nauseous and I

don't take any other supplements anymore.

Yes.

Is the answer because it's food and again, it gets absorbed so quickly.

Um, a lot.

Uh, supplements are made from extracts and they're made using high

heat to, in a mashup in a factory.

And those things don't exist naturally in, in, in, in nature.

So, um, it does, you know, cause some stomach distress.

Also, there is no repeat like you would get with fish oil.

I can't take fish oil.

I tried, I tried every brand, every flavor, liquid cab.

Nothing worked.

I would be tasting that fish oil for hours afterwards so that, you

know, it's obviously not for me.

Never happens with the algae.

It goes down and it stays.

By the way, I remind people that, um, you know, a lot of the damage being done

to the fishes, the oceans are because of people, companies overfishing because they

want the, the omega-3 from the fish oil.

But I tell people, where do you think the fish get the omega-3 from it?

They, it's in the ocean, it's in the algae, and they consolidate it and most.

Fish oil actually goes rancid by the time you buy it.

And so here people are taking it to, for anti-inflammatory

purposes, but it, it goes rancid so quickly it becomes inflammatory.

So that never happens with the algae.

Um, we actually have, uh, an al the algae literally never goes bad either.

We do have to put an expiry date on it.

It's usually three years, but it never goes bad.

So, um, you can stock up and keep it for 10 years if you want.

May.

It tastes as good as it did 10 years when it was first harvested, cuz again,

it's food, but, uh, it never goes bad.

And there isn't a single thing that I can think of that you can say

that about that's good for you.

Apparently a McDonald's hamburger never goes bad because it's so

full of chemicals, so, yeah.

Yeah.

The, for the wrong reasons, it stays fresh.

Yeah.

The, the McDonald's, but, Okay.

So I definitely, uh, I know before, uh, we got onto this talk, we were talking

a little bit about, um, yeah, cancer and how, I've been getting a lot of

questions in terms of, uh, the efficacy of spirulina or chlorella in fighting cancer.

Um, so if you wouldn't mind just kind of Sure.

Diving in on that and Yeah.

And sharing any information you have towards that, that'd be amazing.

That's, that's great.

And, and just so people know, chlorella is the other algae, uh, that we call

recovery bits, which pulls out toxins, which also helps prot protect you from

cancer because toxins damage your cell membrane, damage your mitochondria.

So on the cancer, There's a few things I wanna start out with.

Um, there was a German scientist by the name of Otto Warberg, W A R B E R G.

And, uh, he won a Nobel Prize.

He's ager, it was German scientist.

He won a Nobel Prize, I think in 1931 for discovering that cancer

cannot exist in an alkaline cell.

So that's pretty big news because, um, uh, when you eat too many acidic

foods like sugar, processed foods, anything that's white, um, it.

Uh, affect the pH of your cells and your, this, the pH goes from zero to 14, so

they've realized that your cells should be 7.1, which is just slightly alkaline.

And when they are slightly alkaline, that's indicative of a lot of oxygen

being in the cell, that the proper nutrients are working in the cell,

that the cell membrane is porous, which allows nutrients in and toxins out and.

So this is just sort of a starting point for understanding that you need to keep

yourself slightly alkaline and algae is the most alkaline food in the world.

I started on my journey to discover algae when my younger sister

developed breast cancer 15 years ago.

She's fine now, but her oncologist, which is a cancer specialist, told her

to change her diet to an alkaline diet cuz it would help with her healing.

And now we know why is cuz of the that cellular.

pH is very important for preventing, um, cancer to, um, to take hold.

So, So we all have cancer cells in our, in our bodies.

By the way, cancer is the term that's given to, uh, the growth of, uh,

uncontrolled growth of unhealthy cells.

And it, it's, so, it covers a wide swath of, uh, uh, activities.

But normally if you have healthy mitochondria, um, you will

have a healthy immune system.

So the two of them kind of become, Um, security, your protection and stops

the overflow of these cancer cells.

Now this unfortunate reality is in the world that we live in right

now, there most people do not have a strong MIT healthy mitochondria

or a strong immune system.

So we're sitting ducks and, um, and, and I.

I'd like to help educate people because if you at least know how your body works,

then you can start to protect yourself with some things like algae, which are

really the most basic, um, way to do that.

So, so, because damaged mitochondria lead to.

Um, all kinds of chronic disease.

In fact, not, they've realized that all, it doesn't matter whether it's

Alzheimer's heart disease or cancer, it's all a mitochondria disease.

Every, and mitochondria, um, are where 90% of your inflammation occurs,

and mitochondria are what generate.

What's called a t p, it's cellular energy.

So when your mitochondria are damaged, they don't, your body and

your cells don't have the energy to, to protect you against cancer or

against viruses or against anything.

And cell cell communication drops.

The cells replicate in a damaged form and they die.

So, a, you have fewer of them to protect you, and B, the ones that are, are

still there, aren't working very well.

So, so the number one thing to do is to protect your mitochondria.

And you can do that either by, um, uh, um, reducing the free radicals

that are produced in the, uh, mitochondria or, um, removing them.

And the reason they, um, you get so much damage is because your mitochondria.

Um, they're these little peanut shaped things.

They're inside the cell and there can be as many as 2 million of

these in per cell in your brain.

Crazy, right?

I mean, that's, wow.

Let's talk about congested, uh, but their mitochondria of their own dna, n a and

that dna, n a is located exactly where.

The ATP is produced and a byproduct of ATTP is free radical damage.

So because your mitochondria DNA n are getting so damaged all the time, this

interferes with cellular communication.

This interferes with healthy cell re replication.

And when something like cancer takes hold, normally your cells, if they're healthy,

they they sort of go, Ooh, I'm not feeling so well, I think maybe I should die.

And, and the process is called ptosis, apoptosis or autophagy.

And the best analogy, um, I've, I've come up with is it's sort of like,

Hey, your cell's been doing great work for you, and it realizes it's sick.

And it sort of retires itself, but it does it in a very organized way.

It's called this apoptosis, which is different from another

process, which is called necrosis.

Apoptosis is when the cell knows it's sick.

This is when it's healthy, it knows it's sick, says it's

goodbye to all its friends.

Subdivides into a whole bunch of other mini versions cuz it allocates the

sort of like when you're, you know, that you're nearing your end, you kind

of give away all your goodies, or you get my jewelry and you get my house.

It sells the same way.

You know, you get this part of my mitochondria, you get that, and then

it, and then it just decomposes.

But then, but if you have, uh, an unhealthy.

It doesn't know it's unhealthy.

That's when you have a cancer cell.

And so it, uh, it goes through a different process of death called necrosis.

Now ptosis is when you have the healthy cell, it goes,

oops, I'm not feeling so well.

I'm, I think I've got, you know, I should really get outta here.

It subdivides and it can, and it gives away all of its

goodies with no inflammation.

But when you have an unhealthy cell that doesn't know that it's

sick, uh, and this can also happen with, uh, uh, maybe an injury.

Uh, it's basically splits all its guts, all the.

Sickness and the sickness spills out into the rest of your tissue and causes damage.

So what happens?

Uh, one of the cool things about spirulina is that blue Phycocyanin, which has been

proven to, um, stimulate this apoptosis.

Of just cancer cells.

And the best analogy I've come up with is, you know, we, we all love bubble wrap.

We like to poke those bubbles, right?

So this blue FICO signin has the, imagine the bubble being

the equivalent of a cancer cell.

The blue FICO signin triggers something called the, uh, cytochrome C.

It's, I don't wanna get too geeky, but that triggers apoptosis

of cancer cells or sick cells.

So it's like Popp.

It just pops that, that cancer cell, but it leaves the rest of the cells alone.

It just knows through various receptor cells to go after the cancer cells.

It's so powerful.

The, the, the.

Chemotherapy companies use Phycocyanin in their treatments.

And if you don't believe me, I would encourage you to go online and,

and I'll, I'll spell Phycocyanin for you cuz it's slightly, un un.

It's a mouthful.

It's P H Y C O C Y A N I N.

FICOs Signin, P H Y C O C Y A N I N.

And just Google FICOs, signin and Cancer.

But the pharmaceutical industry doesn't want you to know that you can get the

same benefits from FICO sign, and just by taking it every day in spirulina,

they want, you know, unfortunately, The way the cancer industry has evolved.

They don't want you to die, but they also don't want you to heal.

So, um, it's, it's very, and, and, you know, I started this because

my sister had cancer, so it's, you know, cancer is just very ugly.

It's, um, people go through so much, uh, pain, um, it's, it's

just, it shatters your life.

It shatters the lives of the people around them.

It's just awful.

So anything that we can do, Prevent that from happening.

And the thing with cancer, or also heart disease or Alzheimer's or any chronic

disease, it doesn't show up overnight.

These diseases have taken 20 years sometimes to start building.

Now the first 10 years you probably don't even have symptoms, and then the symptoms

start showing up and you kind of ignore them cuz you're busy and you're going on

a holiday and you're blah, blah, blah.

Until.

It's so bad that you go for a diagnosis and then, then it's, you're, it, you know,

you're traumatized because now you have to go through so much vigorous and rigorous

treatment to unravel this process.

And so I'm here to tell people, you don't need to get to that danger zone if you

take some steps now to protect yourself.

And so, um, the key is, is again, this.

Non-invasive protection that you get from mitochondria or from from algae.

So you may say, well, why is it so helpful?

Well, I'm gonna tell you.

So there's so much free radical damage that's causing the mitochondria to

be diseased and normally, Uh, well I'm gonna show you a picture of the

mitochondria cuz this helps explain it.

Your mitochondria are your only cell in your body that has two membranes.

Most of your, all of your membranes ha, are what's called a lipid membrane.

It's a fat-based membrane and.

It has little holes in it called Porins, P O R I N S, that allow antioxidants

and proteins, anything in and out.

Good news, your mitochondria has that too, but your mitochondria have a second inner

membrane that is impenetrable to any of those, um, anti traditional antioxidants,

proteins, not even drugs can get.

It's in total lockdown.

However, there are four antioxidants that can get in

there to stop free radical damage.

And the good news is your body makes three of them, and they are super oxidase,

mutase, melatonin, and um, uh, uh.

Glutathione.

The fourth one is chlorophyl, which your body doesn't make, but you know,

we now your body makes all those yay.

So you're protected.

But the bad news is they stop making them after the age of 30.

So after you hit 30.

Your number of mitochondria, your amount of melatonin, super oxydase,

glutathione drops, and at the same time, this is when the toxins come in.

You've been living longer, and now you've accumulated more toxicity.

This is the perfect storm.

This is when cancer, heart disease, brain fog, dementia.

This is when it all hits right after 40 because your mitochondria are no longer

being protected from free radical damage.

And what does that free radical damage look?

Well, here's a picture of a healthy mitochondria and a damaged mitochondria.

See all the spaces in here?

That's because there's this thing called the, um, uh, electron transport

chain that, um, are, are where the electrons in your mitochondria are

transferred to eventually create a attp.

But when you have damaged mitochondria, I'm gonna show you another picture.

Those, um, those kind of little stations that are normally cluster.

Closely together start separating.

So it's like Tom Brady g asking Tom Brady to give a pass in a,

in a, in a stadium that's three times the size of a normal one.

It ke they can't pass the electrons, so they, they leak out.

Which causes more free radical damage, cuz now they oxidate.

And so the spaces get bigger and bigger and bigger.

And that's what causes this, this damage inside the mitochondria.

So they can't communicate, they can't generate a t p.

And this is, remember there's millions of these little guys

damaged inside your cells.

If you can't protect them against that free radical damage, which those

three antioxidants that your body normally makes until you hit 30 now.

No wonder when we hit 30.

This is when chronic disease hits because we had all that protection

from the moment we were born.

And then boom, we don't have it anymore.

And the sad reality is you can't get suox, mutase, melatonin or glutathione in

enough, in high enough quantities to, uh, get in to, to do any, to, to fill the gap.

Basical.

But, and I used to think to myself, well, why did Mother Nature

stop giving us this protection?

I mean, she's so intelligent.

Our bodies are so refined.

Well, I did some research and found out that until a couple, a

hundred years ago, we died at 30.

Our biology thinks we're still dying at 30.

It's only recently that we're living longer, so, Our biology is

not caught up with our destiny.

So this is why I love Al.

One of the many reasons I love algae so much is cuz I've done

lab tests and found out our algae.

Not everybody's has the same highest concentration of glutathione,

melatonin, supr, oxy, oxygenase, and chlorophyll in the world.

So we can replace the missing parts that your mitochondria need

to, um, stop free radical damage.

And at the same time, chlorella.

It's pulling out the toxins.

This is what's gonna flatline your inflammation.

This will get you over the hump.

This will turn around your cancer scenario.

Um, this will turn around heart disease, um, because it's, and it's

not just the FICO signin, which has been proven to kill cancer cells.

Um, there's also a.

An enzyme in both the spirulina and chlorella, but spirulina in

particular called superoxide dismutase.

And that's, as I mentioned, is the one that can get into the mitochondria

to stop free radical damage.

But it's an enzyme and so you can't use high heat to uh, dry your algae

and expect that enzyme to still work cuz it will just be killed.

So you can either buy frozen spirulina or ours if you.

Um, oxidase that's, that's active and, and, and that works.

So the, the combination of the blue pigment that stimulates apoptosis

and the, um, so that you kill the cancer cells and nothing else.

And the blue.

And the superoxide dismutase that protects the mitochondria so that the,

so that your cells will identify earlier if they're sick and then go through

their own autophagy or apoptosis.

Um, or it will also, um, just stimulate, it's also an antioxidant, so it just

helps, again, protect the mitochondria.

So, um, it, the other cool thing about that, um, blue pigment is

it's proven to have what's called, um, anti-angiogenesis properties.

What that means is that it stops the growth of blood

vessels to tumors or cancer.

Um, what, what cancer cells do is they basically hijack blood vessels.

And, uh, to, and reroute them to feed, to feed them, um, the, the, the,

um, the blood flow that they need.

Uh, and cancer cells grow through, uh, an anaerobic process, um,

which is different from what you normally would have in your cells.

So, um, it's, uh, they're, they don't follow the traditional a t p production

process, so it's, so the fact.

Um, blue pigment that is not found anywhere else in the world,

in any other food and has been there from the very beginning.

And there's thousands of studies documenting its ability to kill

cancer cells is, is pretty, uh, pretty amazing to me.

Um, and then, and then you get the benefits also of the chlorella algae,

which pulls out toxins because, you know, toxins also damage cell membrane.

Also damage mitochondria interfere with the effectiveness of those, the, the

what's called the electron transport chain that's inside the mitochondria.

Um, so that you get, again, more leaked, um, free radicals.

Now you're never gonna get to zero free radicals.

This excess inflammation and, and, uh, what's called reactive oxygen species

occurs when the, there's the balance between, uh, the free radical production

is, is gotten too high, and, um, on top of the fact that our bodies are too acidic.

So we're like a sitting duck for cancer cells to start forming.

It's just a slippery slope.

Um, and, and you know, you can take spirulina cuz you wanna have a great run

or you don't wanna eat vegetables or you, you know, you, you're traveling and you

wanna be sure you have good nutrition.

But, and I just wrote an article about this, like, who would've ever thought

that you could have a great smoothie and stop cancer at the same time?

I mean, it's just, it bottles the mind that you, you, there's something that's

so protective and, um, it's been used in.

For 70 years.

I mean, it's a multi-billion dollar industry there.

Uh, and we just don't, under, nobody's explained the, these

longevity health benefits.

They, everybody knows it's a super food, but I, I bet you if you ask

anybody on the street, they're not really sure exactly what it does.

They just know that it's good for them and so they take it.

So I try to break it down.

So that you can understand, and it's not just cancer.

I mean it also has been proven to stop heart disease, Alzheimer's.

Um, anywhere there's a high concentration of mitochondria, and that's your

brain, and your heart and your muscles.

By the way, athletes anyway, athletes are listening.

Your average muscle has 5,000 mitochondria per cell.

So if you want to extend your athletic career, You need to a,

obviously build muscle, but you have to protect your mitochondria.

Um, they're, a lot of you often read about these marathon runners, um, falling

dead from a heart attack in the middle of a, of a race or, or, you know, N f L

players, they were at top of their game.

They looked healthy, they were strong, but turned out that they had mitochondria

disease in their, in their heart.

Um, so, um, you, you, you, you can't just focus on the muscles, you.

You gotta manage the process and you can't get any deeper, you can't get

any more upstream than mitochondria.

That's where everything, all the good stuff and all the bad stuff happens.

Yeah.

I, uh, I also a good point I think to make for, um, anyone, uh, who has

been diagnosed with cancer as well, if, uh, If you are going through

like a traditional chemotherapy treatment, um, you know, these are

gonna be very beneficial as well.

Just in terms of bolstering the immune system too.

Yes.

And helping you Absolutely.

To, uh, you know, because obviously chemotherapy is so taxing on the

body and especially the immune system, hence immunotherapy.

Uh, so I think, you know, Not a medical professional, but you know,

combining spirulina and chlorella with a traditional treatment like that

as well would be super beneficial.

Um, and, and you know, it's like you said, these, you know, spirulina

and chlorella are so packed with vitamins and minerals and just so

many amazing things in them that.

Uh, you know, for myself, for example, I eat, uh, a diet that's

pretty high in, in vegetables and fruit and high quality meat.

Uh, but still I take, uh, spirulina and chlorella every single day.

The energy, uh, I do the one that's, uh, the blend I believe

is, is that the energy tax?

Yeah, that's, that's vitality.

Vitality, yeah.

That's, uh, half and half spirulina and chlorella, so yeah.

It makes it easy.

Yeah, and, and I, I do that though because I know that through a lot of

the monocropping that's going on, The way we're producing our produce, it,

they're, they're just naturally less, uh, you know, they contain less amounts

of these very necessary vitamins and minerals that we really, really need.

Um, so yeah, it's, I, yeah, I'm singing the praises over here, but I, yeah, I,

I really wanted to also make that point that if you are going through like chemo,

uh, chemotherapy, yes, it's a great idea.

Even with.

Well, and, and as you know, chemotherapy just wipes out your energy.

And of course spirulina will, you know, get you back some a t p

production at the cellular level.

And also for anybody who is taking chemotherapy, I definitely want

you to take chlorella, take it the next day because it will identify

it as a toxin and pull excess chemo out so you're not as nauseous.

Cuz that's the one of the big things is it makes you really nauseous if you

have any kind of condition already.

Heart disease.

Cancer, doesn't matter what it is.

We, I you definitely wanna double up or triple up the quantities.

Don't be afraid to take too many.

I, I've had over a hundred a day for 13 years, so, um, and as I said, our

NHL players take 75 spirulina to give them energy on the ice before the game.

And they take another 75 of the chlorella to pull Atlantic acid afterwards.

So, um, It's, you know, what have you got to lose, right?

It's just food.

Um, but very, very, very concentrated, but effortless.

Um, I call it your health insurance.

I mean, I, it's not just nutritional insurance, it's health insurance.

And, um, with, uh, with our large bags of a th a thousand tablets, I

did the math and you know, if you take 10 a day, if now this is, if you're

healthy, 10 a day should be sufficient.

Uh, that bag will last you three months.

It'll cost, it'll cost you a dollar a day.

You know, what's a, what's a coffee at at, uh, at Starbucks these days?

You know, three bucks, three three or $4, 10 tablets.

Get dollar a day.

By the way, you can cut out probably your multivitamin, your fish oil, your coq.

Um, bio a lot, so it'll save you money.

And again, uh, it just simplifies things.

We have people who love to travel with these.

They just throw a because we sell 'em in large boxes.

They sell, they throw them in their handbag or their gym bag.

I, I, I, I travel with.

The little tins I, you can hear, you can usually hear me coming cuz my tins

rattle in my pockets are everywhere.

So it, um, it's probably the best thing you'll ever do for yourself.

And I like it because it's effortless.

Um, like I say, I wrote this article and it's like, you don't have

to, there's no big user manual.

You don't have to change your diet.

Just add them that.

Uh, give them to your pets.

Give them to your kids.

Uh, spirulina is so safe.

You can give it to newborns, uh, if you're pregnant or, or nursing.

They're terrific.

Um, and the only, um, uh, and there's no contraindications with either of

them, but we just, um, let people know that because chlorella pulls

out toxins and like, including heavy metals, uh, and some medications.

Aluminum or metals in them.

You may wanna take this a couple hours either before or after your medication.

Cause we don't wanna, you know, interfere and, and always do.

The best thing is always check with your practitioner.

Although I will tell you, most of them know nothing about nutrition unless

you're at a functional medicine doctor.

Um, Who would, or a chiropractor, and most people take the spline in the morning and

we recommend you take the chlorella at night because your body goes through a

detoxer para cycle when you're sleeping.

By the way, sleep is probably the other great gift that Mother Nature

has given us, um, because during deep sleep is when the repair.

Cycle does occur, and also the detox.

So if you have chlorella in there, it's like having the cleanup crew

while you're getting your Beautyrest.

I was at a conference recently and I said, you know, because this is so nourishing

and this is so cleaning, I thought, well, this is sort of like, um, room

service, and this is like housekeeping.

Love that.

No, that's awesome.

Help, help you remember, right?

Yeah.

I got an awesome room service, so, okay, well, time to clean up.

That's perfect.

Yeah, that's, no, that's, and honestly, every now and again, I'll, I'll kind

of forget, uh, which one does what, but obviously on the packages wall

you can see like beauty as well.

The beauty.

Oh, okay.

That's like, you know, for the cleansing, but I love that little analogy.

That's perfect.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, and um, the other thing that's, um, getting people, uh, uh, to pay a bit more

attention is their brain health anxiety.

Um, mental health.

I mean, COVID was a disaster for our brain health.

And, um, it's so prevalent now.

Thank God people are talking about it.

There's, uh, apps, there's all sorts of great ways to.

You know, start learning how to heal your brain.

And, and I mentioned to you earlier, there's this terrific book that came

out a couple of months ago by Dr.

Um Braum, Chris Palmer called Brain Energy.

And in his book, uh, and he's at the Harvard Medical School, um, in his

book, he talks about how every health brain issue is a mitochondria issue.

And again, it's because there's 2 million mitochondria per cell.

So it doesn't matter whether it's.

You know, post-traumatic stress disorder or anxiety or Alzheimer's, uh, and

Alzheimer's is just the worst experience because the, your, you just watch, your

loved ones just fade away, uh, from you.

And so we have found both research and also anecdotally that again, the spirulina

in particular, Helps prevent that.

I mean, again, it's because of the, uh, FICO signin and, and the super oxydase.

Um, and I've got research papers, hundreds of them.

Um, I'll just, you know, walk you through a couple of the things that

it does, the super oxydase against.

Stops free radical damage.

So it improves neuroplasticity and reduces amyloid plaques.

So it revives your brain cuz your, your brain, your bo all of your

cells are constantly reg regrowing.

They thought for a while the brain didn't, but they're realizing that it does.

Um, and if you can get rid of those amyloid plaques, cuz that's, uh,

an indication of Alzheimer's and it improves, uh, stem cell genesis.

So that's from the superoxide dismutase, which also, by the way,

they've discovered, helps reduce the shortening of telomeres.

Telomeres are where your DNA N is stored, and when they.

Get shortened.

The, it's sort of like watching a, if you have one of those a, a a rope and you,

and it's fringed, there's it unravels on either ends and then it just falls apart.

Well, that's literally what's happening to your DNA N when the telomeres shrink.

So your DNA n a spills out.

Um, and so your cells, uh, replicate in a damaged form because

the DNA n is no longer intact.

Well, the suox dismutases, which is that enzyme that can't, Is killed

by heat, it stops that process.

That's pretty sweet.

Um, so that's pretty, um, you know, very, very important and it just

stops again that cellular mutation.

And then the blue phycocyanin also stops inflammation.

And, you know, there is a lot, you know, a lot of people getting brain, uh, cancer.

So obviously, um, stops with that.

So, so those are two really powerful nutrients not found anywhere.

Um, other than spirulina, uh, well, there's oxidase a little

bit in, in chlorella, and then, you know, again, the spirulina is

loaded with essential fatty acid.

Your brain is mostly fat.

It needs healthy fats like omega-3.

Um, you, um, and it, it spirulina has omega-3.

It also has one called gla, which is like an omega-3.

It's.

Technically an Omega six, but because we don't heat it, uh,

it behaves like an omega-3.

Um, so it's very, um, nor nourishing to your brain.

And you probably don't know this, but um, uh, sp chlorophyl is a fat-based pigment.

I don't know if I have a, um, slide I was gonna show you.

Um, and why is that important?

It'd be, it is cuz your cell walls need, like I said, healthy fats.

So I don't think I have.

And the, because Chlorophyl is a fat-based pigment.

It behaves like an omega-3, it heals the cell walls in your brain and anywhere.

So, um, and then also both the algae, um, particularly chlorella,

have something called vitamin k2.

K2 moves excess calcium out of soft tissue.

It's like, oh, what's so bad about calcium?

Well, you want it in your bones.

You don't, or your teeth, you don't want.

Sitting in soft tissue, which is your brain, uh, your heart, your organs, your

skin, because what it does is it causes, um, uh, it soli, it, it, it hardens.

And they're realizing arterio sclerosis is, which is hardening of the arteries.

What's hardening is the calcium.

They're realizing a lot of Alzheimer's is calcification in your brain.

Um, uh, um, kidney stones are calcification, uh, you know, so you

wanna get rid of that excess calcium.

Um, and K2 is the vitamin that does it.

Um, but we're almost all short of vitamin K two.

Um, because, uh, it's related to K one, but it's completely different and it.

It has this capability of moving the, so the, uh, calcium away.

Now, uh, if you eat grass fed animal protein, you may be okay.

Um, but uh, and we used to all eat grass-fed animal protein

until the sixties, right?

Cuz that's where cattle were raised on pastures.

Well, it turns out that the cattle have an extra bacteria in their stomach

that could convert K one, which is what's in stuff that's green into k2.

And so when we were eating animal protein, uh, especially, you know, red meat, we

were getting K2 cuz it was in their body.

But then of course the farmers realize that if they put all the

cattle in enclosures and fed them corn, they would get a lot more

money cuz they would get fat.

A lot faster and overnight the supply of K2 in our food supply disappeared.

And it coincides exactly when heart disease started escalating,

cuz in the early seventies is when that K2 disappeared from our diet.

Um, fortunately now people are understanding regenerative ar

agriculture and we have many.

Ways to get grass fed, uh, animal protein back into our diet, but that's only

for the few of us that can afford it.

Um, the majority of people are not, um, are, are deficit in k2 and

this again, contributes to so many.

Um, issues, heart issues, brain issues, any kind of health

issues, but it's in the algae.

So you could also get a, a very high concentration in a dish called nato,

which the Japanese eat all the time.

It's kind of slimy and I have not yet met a single person in North America

that likes it, but it's very concentrated and you can also buy K2 supplements now.

Uh, but they are made from.

They're made from fermented chickpeas and, um, K2 is a complicated vitamin.

It has all these M four, M five N six s and the one that, um, gets into the

brain, I think it's M four, and that's what's in the grass fed animal protein.

And the algae, the ones that are made from the fermented chickpeas

cannot get into your brain.

So I tell people, well, what, you know, you might as well get something

that's gonna work on everything.

So, uh, you know, that's why I, you know, PE people, when I

first started the company, they kept asking me if I was vegan.

And I, no, I, I've never been vegan, although when I went to nutrition school,

everybody was vegan and, you know, I tried, but it didn't work for me.

And, and this is why it's so important to pay attention to

your own body, your own biology.

Uh, they've realized that people that, you know, ancestrally, if you come

from Northern European countries, You probably are better with be with meat.

Um, other people may not be.

But, um, do yourself a favor and, and don't choose.

Try not to choose your food for your health based on

what other people are doing.

What seems to be the fad, uh, because there's.

You know, falling a fad and feeling feeling sick is not

a, not a good outcome for you.

Um, pay attention to how you feel.

This is when it gets down to, back to things like being present when you eat,

being more meditative with your choices.

Um, the, all the good stuff is free breathing, deeply, walking

in nature, getting a good sleep, providing yourself with self-love.

And you know, I.

Put algae right in there because it's so natural.

I mean, you can't argue with something that was the first life on earth,

uh, four a billion years ago.

And Anne is still here.

So, um, uh, uh, it's, we're in such a fast-paced world that is so, you

know, stresses us out, which by the way is acidic cuz it causes

cascade of cortisol, which is acidic and you know, blah, blah, blah.

Um, being calm and.

Loving yourself and keeping, taking deep breaths and really focusing on your meal,

meals and meal time, um, is really, it's free and it will do you so much good.

And then, and then you can add things like, you know, algae to up your game.

But, um, uh, I just want people to know.

Good health is not, doesn't have to be complicated.

Um, and you don't have to have all the fancy devices, although you can,

I mean, I have a red light device and, um, you know, I'm, I'm on board with

all of that cause I've read the science.

So there's really good things that happen there.

But just strip it down to the basics and, um, you'll, you'll be okay.

Yeah, no, uh, it's funny, when we first started this

episode, I was like, oh, okay.

You know, I, I wonder what new information we're gonna be able to talk about today.

I knew I had a couple topics, but Catherine, you, you, you ceased to

amaze me with your, your massive amount of knowledge on this.

This is amazing.

Um, no, you're too kind.

But there is, it's not me that has the knowledge.

The knowledge is out there.

I've just.

Sounded.

Yeah.

But, and, and like I said, the, the fact that you are spreading that

knowledge, cuz I think it was, uh, last time we were talking, you also

mentioned, um, a statistic on like how long it takes for, you know, the

science that's already been done.

Yeah.

And then the time in which it takes to actually get it out to the public,

like 15 years or something, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

I think it's 17 years for a new scientific discovery to make its

way to the practitioners and then another 17 for it to make it way out.

To consumers.

But the irony is the science about algae's been around in some cases for a hundred

years, but, um, scientists, God bless them, I mean, they're, they're in labs

and they're writing papers and they're, and the, their expertise is not taking

these complex concepts that they've discovered and sharing it with the public.

They do much better doing their.

So, and that's why I call myself a citizen science because I don't

come from a scientific background.

And for the first few years I kept telling the universe, find somebody else.

Cuz you know, I don't have any science, but turns out I am the right person

because I, I am a good communicator.

Um, and I actually like the science.

So, um, but I do encourage people, you know, I'm not the only one.

Who can read this stuff.

It is available, it does take time.

Um, so that way you can, you know, find out for yourself that what

I'm telling you is, is correct.

I just happen to have amassed a large amount of it.

Uh, no, I, I love it, Catherine, and, and I'm so happy to be

providing a platform for you to be able to share that information.

Um, but yeah, I, it's, it's amazing how fast the time goes here.

Yeah.

I'm pretty, I'm hour look at that.

It's, uh, but I'm like in a time warp with you on the information.

Um, but I wanted to, uh, provide a moment here for you to, uh, share any,

uh, last thoughts that you want to get across to the listeners or maybe

share where they can connect with you, where they can find energy bits.

Um, yeah.

Any, anything that you wanna share here?

Yeah.

Well, first of all, come and visit us@energybits.com.

E n E r G Y B I T S, and we have a 20% discount code, uh, elemental

that you can put in the discount box.

It works on everything all the times so it don't panic.

It's not, you know, for the next 48 hours or anything.

And it works on the bags that we have these really cool canisters.

Um, or you can buy boxes of single servings now if you're not ready.

To buy a full bag, you can go to Amazon and buy one for $6 and just try them out.

Um, but just to summarize, you know, the spirulina, we actually have two spirulina.

I found that women didn't like the packaging of the first one

and it, I started it cuz my sister having breast cancer.

So women's health is, Always been important to me.

And, and it does have more collagen than collagen powder, and it has antioxidants

that build your skin and hair.

So, so there are two spirulina, but I'm not trying to trick anybody.

It's just, I just want you to feel comfortable with them.

So these are both spirulina.

Someone says you got a boy, spirulina a girl, spirulina.

Um, chlorella is the one that pulls out toxins, like, um,

the k the has the K2 in it.

Pulling out calcium, pulls out all the heavy metals, pulls

out alcohol, lactic acid.

Um, so this is really your morning, um, algae.

This is your PM algae.

And then if you don't want all that complexity, you could just get vitality

bits, which is a blend of the two of them.

Um, so then you just make, it makes it nice and simple.

So my, my final thing is that, um, LG is for everybody.

It doesn't matter whether.

A two year old, 20 year old, 200 year old.

I think Dave Asbury wants to make it to 180.

Um, so you don't have to be worried about it.

It's again, food.

And ours has grown in triple filtered Spring mountain water and we we're the

only algae sold by doctors cuz we also do.

Third party testing here in the United States.

And it's not new, it's just hasn't been explained to you.

So you didn't know about Kik or Chia or maa probably until recently.

Well, algae's been used for hundreds of years, um, and the science has

been there for hundreds of years.

Um, so I'm just here to help you learn what it is so that

you can start enjoying the same.

That they enjoy in Asia, uh, and half for 70 years.

So, um, so, you know, Google, whatever you, you, you can, but

just be aware that Spear Lee and Chlorella are not from the ocean.

They're not toxic, they're carefully grown, harvested, um, food.

Um, I hope to grow it here in America.

That's my plan one day.

And, um, whatever condition your health is in now is not permanent.

I promise you, if you give your body what it needs, um, it needs

nourishment, it needs sleep, it needs oxygen, uh, it needs love.

Uh, and uh, I'll try to put as much algae love in there for you.

But, um, you can turn whatever situation that you're in around, just give it time

and, um, and just listen to your own.

Uh, it, it's quiet.

It will never shout, so you, you really have to pay attention to it.

So, um, uh, I wish you all the best cuz I know great health is waiting for us.

Hmm.

No, I, I, I absolutely resonate and agree and love all of what

you just said right there.

And, Uh, I couldn't have said it any better.

Yeah.

As is, uh, to listen to that body.

Uh, it is always speaking, but never shouting like you said.

Yeah.

And, uh, yeah, these, these are definitely for, for everyone.

I mean, I'm always, to everyone that I know, I'm like, all right, get

yourself some of these energy bits here.

Yeah.

Like, you will not regret it.

It's good for everything.

It's good for longevity and just living a healthy and uh, good life.

Uh, Catherine, thank you so much for coming on the show.

Thank like, truly, I, I appreciate speaking with you every single time.

Yeah.

Uh, so thank you for coming on and to all the listeners,

thank you guys for tuning in.

Um, you guys know the motto of the show.

It's do everything with good intentions and connect to your elements.

Uh, I don't know if you have anything to add to that.

Maybe take some e e algae.

Yeah, yeah.

No, it just, uh, Keep going.

Don't, don't, uh, um, just be patient.

That's, that's, if you ever in doubt, just follow Mother Nature.

She's, she's my, she's my, my mentor.
