Catharine Arnston | Spirulina Could Be The Missing Piece To Getting The Mitochondria To Function Better KKP: 643

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Catharine Arnston. Catharine Arnston is the Founder and CEO of ENERGYbits® and an expert on the health benefits of algae. Catharine’s passion for algae is contagious. She has been a speaker at hundreds of conferences, podcasts, broadcasts, and national television. Her scientific fluency allows her to explain algae with such simplicity and clarity that it quickly becomes apparent why algae are urgently needed. Algae is the most nutritionally dense food globally, yet it is virtually unknown outside Asia. Catharine’s mission is to change that. In this episode, Catharine opens the show by speaking about the importance of superoxide dismutase (S.O.D.) for clearing free radicals. The highest concentration of S.O.D. is actually in spirulina. Catharine explains how spirulina could be the missing piece to improving the health of your mitochondria. Plus, Catharine speaks about all the other health benefits of algae. Tune in as we chat about using algae as a biohack before red light therapy and how algae can replace your mineral supplements.

For Clearing Free Radicals Spirulina is an effortless way to get the nutrients you need to give you energy. The true energy that you get from spirulina is really at the cellular level. When your cells have energy, you’re getting better digestion, reduced inflammation, more free radicals, and you can think clearer. Inside the mitochondria is a second membrane where ATP production occurs. Virtually no antioxidants can make their way into that inner membrane. There's nothing that can make its way into the inner membrane to get rid of those free radicals except something called S.O.D. The highest concentration of S.O.D. is in spirulina. [13:00] Spirulina Could Be The Missing Piece To Getting The Mitochondria To Function Better Spirulina is called cyanobacterial; they are your mitochondria. Mitochondria in our cells came from the cyanobacteria, effectively spirulina. When you have spirulina, it's like introducing your body to itself. If you look at the shape of spirulina and you look at the mitochondria, they are identical. When you take something identical to your DNA, your body knows what to do. [17:50] How Chlorophyll Can Heal Cellular Damage Inside The Body When you have free radicals, they cause what's called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress will cause cellular damage. With cellular damage, nutrients cannot flow into the cells, and toxins cannot flow out of the cells. So, you will end up with more free radicals inside the cell, causing severe damage. Eventually, this can cause rogue cells, leading to cancer. Chlorella and spirulina are excellent at correcting that because they have the highest chlorophyll concentration in the world. Healthy fats will heal your cell walls. Chlorophyll is a fat-based pigment. [23:25] The Reasons You Should Take Algae Instead of Fish Oil Spirulina is higher in GLA and omegas than fish oil. Fish get their omegas from algae. So cut out the middle man by going straight to the algae. Algae is cleaner, and it doesn’t go any farther down the food chain. Plus, it is already rancid by the time you get fish oil from the store. With Catharine’s algae, you’ll get anti-inflammatory benefits. Also, it never goes rancid, and it never goes bad. [32:30] Does Algae Increase Your Glucose Levels? Algae do not decrease your ketones, and it does not increase your glucose. Catharine has tested it herself with people who have CGM monitors. Algae has been used for decades for people who have diabetes. Catharine’s products are taken by people looking to reverse their diabetes. Unfortunately, we know more about our cell phones than we do our bodies. When something goes wrong, people run to conventional medical sources. Instead, we need to learn how our body functions and what it requires to function at an optimal level. [37:50] You Can’t Have An Iron Overload When Taking Spirulina or Chlorella The nice thing about algae is that it's what's called an adaptogen. It won't be absorbed in your body if you do not need that nutrient. However, this is not the case with iron supplements. Catharine urges people not to take iron supplements because you can easily get overloaded with iron. The iron in the spirulina or chlorella comes from an organic source. So, your body can recognize it and know what to do with it. [39:20] Taking Algae Can Replace Your Mineral Supplements Spirulina and chlorella are loaded with minerals like magnesium and potassium. When your body makes S.O.D, it needs manganese, zinc, and copper. All of these minerals are in spirulina. Many people will use chlorella because it helps recover your health and helps remove toxins. Take chlorella for detox instead of activated charcoal. Activated charcoal will pull out all minerals, not just the bad stuff. [41:20] Algae Is A Great Biohack Before Red Light Therapy Red light therapy stimulates mitochondrial growth; it also reduces inflammation. Bacteria have chloroplasts in them, and they generate energy from light. When you take spirulina or chlorella before red light therapy, you stimulate the mitochondria even more. Marathon runners adopted Catharine’s products quickly because the spirulina gave them energy and didn't upset their stomachs. When you have chlorophyll in your body during red light therapy, it will increase your energy production. AND MUCH MORE!
