Algae is often overlooked, but it may be one of the most powerful tools for supporting energy, detoxification, and cellular health. In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with Catharine Arnston, PhD, founder of ENERGYbits, to unpack the science behind spirulina and chlorella and why these ancient organisms are gaining attention in modern health. They explore how algae supports mitochondrial function, reduces oxidative stress through compounds like superoxide dismutase (SOD), and helps the body manage toxins and nutrient deficiencies. Catharine also explains the key differences between spirulina and chlorella, how each impacts the body, and how to incorporate algae into a daily routine for sustained energy, metabolic resilience, and long-term wellness.
Catharine Arnston, PhD, is the Founder, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits, a premium algae nutrition company. After a 25-year corporate career, she pivoted into health and wellness following her sister’s breast cancer diagnosis, which led her to discover the powerful benefits of algae. Now a Board-Certified Health Coach with a PhD in Natural Health, Catharine has spent nearly two decades researching spirulina and chlorella and their impact on mitochondrial health, oxidative stress, and longevity. She is a leading voice in algae nutrition and a frequent guest on top health podcasts.
