In today’s episode, we dive into one of my all-time favorite topics: mitochondrial health — and the tiny-but-mighty superfood that can completely change your energy, your longevity, and the way your cells function. A.k.a SPIRURLINA and chlorella, my favorite foods on the planet!! We’re talking algae, baby. 

I’m joined by the brilliant Catharine Arnston, founder of EnergyBits, who has spent the last decade researching algae, mitochondrial repair, cancer prevention, and the real science behind what keeps us youthful, vibrant, and resilient. And yes… this superfood is algae, and I promise, your mind is about to be blown.

We talk about:

• How algae became the most nutrient-dense food on the planet

• Why mitochondria are the literal power plants of your cells (and what happens when they break down)

• The shocking link between mitochondrial dysfunction, aging, and chronic illness

• How spirulina and chlorella can support detoxification, DNA repair, and long-term health

• The cancer-preventive properties of chlorella (the research is wild)

• Why this tiny green tablet outperforms most supplements on the market

• How to use EnergyBits for daily energy, cleansing, hormones, skin health, and recovery

• Why beauty, vitality, and longevity are mitochondrial conversations

• The one thing most people are doing wrong with their morning routine that's tanking their cellular energy

This is one of those episodes that changes how you look at your body forever. Catharine is a wealth of wisdom, and I left this conversation buzzing with inspiration (and ordering more algae… obviously).
