I doubt there’s any real science to show that these things have actual benefit.” What’s the overarching big picture takeaway about it?Ĭatharine: Is it okay if I explain what algae is, so we can have a context to understand the benefits?Ĭatharine: I’m just laughing about the woo-woo because NASA feeds this to the astronauts because it’s the most nutrient dense efficient nutrition in the world, so there’s nothing woo-woo about NASA. What is this good for, and is there any science behind it? I know we’re going to talk about that science, but for people who are maybe listening to this and they’ve heard of spirulina, they’ve heard of chlorella, they’ve heard them touted as these superfoods, but maybe they’ve thought, “Oh, that’s a bunch of woo-woo, hippie-dippie nonsense. What are some of the–Īri: What are some of the– I guess we could start with a list of benefits. Anyways, it all seemed to work out, but it was a rough going for a while, but we both hung in there and happy ending for both of us. It was a scare as it always is when you get a diagnosis of any kind but particularly cancer. Her life changed and sort of mine, which is also an interesting lesson about, there’s always a silver lining if you look for it. Let’s talk about how– Well, first of all, what happened with your sister? I read in your bio there about– Ĭatharine: Good news. It’s a great connection to have for both of us. I have been listening to your podcasts and reading your materials and books for years, so this is a dream come true. Welcome to the show, Catharine, such a pleasure to have you.Ĭatharine: Thanks for having me, Ari. She is now considered one of the country’s leading experts on algae nutrition, a sought-after speaker at wellness conferences, and a frequent guest on podcasts and television. She realized algae could have a powerful impact on the world if it was only better understood, and she has devoted her life ever since then to researching algae and educating consumers, athletes, wellness, spa, fitness, and beauty professionals about its therapeutic sustainable benefits. This ultimately led her to algae, the most nutrient-dense alkaline plant in the world with vast medicinal properties unknown, mostly unknown outside of Asia. She then helped her sister research alkaline foods, and the process led her to discover the healing properties of plant-based nutrition. She founded the algae tablet company, ENERGYbits, in Boston, Massachusetts after her younger sister in Canada was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Her career spans 33 years during which she has been an international attache for the Canadian and British governments, publisher of an international magazine, and founder of three startups. She graduated with an MBA from Ivey School of Business and a health coach certificate from Institute of Integrative Nutrition. She is the founder of a company called ENERGYbits, and her mission is to help the world be healthier naturally with mother nature’s oldest and original food, which is algae. I’ve been meaning to interview her for several years now. With me now is Catharine Arnston, who I am very excited to interview. Ari: Everyone, welcome back to The Energy Blueprint Podcast.
