Chapter 1: Who is Catharine Arnston and what is her story?
Welcome back to the Dylan Gemelli podcast, everyone. I have an extremely special guest for you today that I am so excited to have here. I've been watching her for several months, but I had the pleasure of meeting her at the A4M recently. And she is an amazing woman. And we have a lot to discuss and talk to you about today.
So she is the founder of Energy Bits, which I just was able to get from her and I'm looking forward to. And she's also just became a doctor in September. And this, my friends, is Katherine Arnston. Welcome, Katherine.
Thank you, Dylan. So great to meet you at the Longevity Summit for A4M in Vegas a couple of weeks ago and be here now. So I'm excited to always share my knowledge of algae. I've been researching it in the science for over 15 years, and I'm actually self-taught on the science. So about three years ago, I thought, well, maybe I should try to get some credentials to back up my knowledge.
And as you mentioned, I graduated in September with my PhD, which I'm very proud of. And Anyone who is listening, I also want to point out that I got it. I'm almost 69 and so not far away from 70. So this is proof that if you look after your brain and your health and you have enthusiasm for life and lucky me, I found my path.
your body and your brain will never stop, but you do have to look after them. We've got some great tips for you. Of course, taking algae is my number one tip and we'll explain why today. Yeah, I don't think that I could have done it without algae. And so I want everybody else to feel as great. I have an expression that says, it's never too late to feel great.
I love it. Well, and that's why I wanted to have you on because I, so my wife brought
spirulina up to me when I first met her in about it was like 2012 when she first kind of started talking to me about it but I don't I haven't known enough about it because I've been more in like the supplement world and while I do you know natural things this is something that especially recently since I've been watching you that I've learned so much about and I want your knowledge base to
To spread this wealth of information to others, because when we have things like this, they can do so much that people really don't know enough about because it's not mainstream enough. You and I both know that I want to help make it mainstream and there's nobody better that I could pick out to help me do that than you.
So I just first of all, thank you for for putting so much time and energy into actually helping people. And bringing this to light. So I want to let everybody hear your story first, because, you know, it's why spirulina, why chlorella, why algae? Yeah, right. Tell us your story.

Chapter 2: What are the benefits of Spirulina and Chlorella?
So as I started sharing more and then I discovered algae as the foundation for all of the things that we needed nutritionally and for our health, I just kept going. And in the early days, like I was by myself for five years and it took me that long because just like what you're going to learn today, I thought this is crazy that this This algae can do this. It helps with your brain.
It helps with your heart. It helps with your skin. It helps with your hormones. It helps with your digestion, helps with your sleep. It's like having Einstein on your hands. It's like, you do that too? And I didn't believe it. I thought, this can't be possible. How can something so amazing not be known? And it's not known because it's not grown here.
And there was no incentive for anybody to teach you this because the scientists know this, all the stuff I'm telling you. The agriculturists who grow algae know all this. But the reality is scientists like to talk to other scientists. They have jargon. They actually don't know how to speak to consumers. And when I first, remember, I didn't come from a science background.
And I told the universe when I started this, you know, find somebody else, you know. Find somebody with a science background. I don't know any science, but the universe knew I would teach myself the science. And so it turns out I am the perfect person because I am a good communicator. I have taught myself the science. I've got the PhD.
So I take great joy in taking complex scientific information, particularly related to algae and how it works. Helps with your mitochondria health and all the other things. And helping you, the listener, the consumer or practitioner, understand it. Because if you can't understand it, you won't believe it. And so there's no smoke and mirrors here.
I've read probably 3,000 PubMed articles at this point, and there's 100,000 out there about algae. But it's a pretty vast knowledge that I've accumulated over the years. And you don't have to spend your nights on PubMed like I did for 15 years. I did. I did the heavy lifting. I want you to understand this information so that you can put it to work.
No point in knowing something if you can't put it to work. So we have a solution here that's going to help with our health, our energy, our beauty, our digestion, our families, our pets. And it's food, but it needed to be explained and it needs to be grown carefully to preserve all the nutrients so they can do the best work for you.
See, and that's what I love about People like you that are harder to come by because there's a real passion behind what you're doing and you can sense it. There's no hesitation with what you say. There's no fumbling around your words. There's no like mixing things around. It's like straightforward. You can hear it in your voice.
And I can tell and I love that because I can read people so quick from sales so long. So I know immediately. And that was another one of the reasons why I really wanted to talk to you. I have another question about the growth process, because you were talking about growing it hydroponically and then kind of the climate that it needed to be in.

Chapter 3: How can algae improve mitochondrial health?
Not with spirulina. It's like putting a log on the fire. You get steady energy. And the irony is if you took 10 tablets or 30 and you're just lounging around on your sofa, you might not really even notice it. You will notice that you're more alert. And that you're not hungry, but you won't make, there's no big, there's no drama with spirulina. None. There's no drama with algae ever.
It's sort of like me. I'm a no drama person. So, because what happens is this improves, and we'll talk about this in a minute, the ability of your mitochondria to produce ATP, which is cellular energy. And you can't store ATP, just like your body can't store vitamin C. You can't store ATP.
So whatever you are making in the moment of that cellular energy, it's utilized in the moment, whatever you're doing. So if you're driving a car and you just had 30 spirulina, you're going to have more focus. Or if you're writing an exam, if you're an athlete and you take the 30, and we generally suggest give it 10, 15 minutes so it can get fully absorbed, blah, blah, blah.
You're going to run further. You're going to run faster or you're going to lift more or you're going to lift longer and you won't even notice it because it's working at the cellular level and it's not a stimulant. You could take this even before bed if you wanted, although generally you want energy and focus and your hunger in the morning, afternoon or at lunch or before a workout.
So it's cellular energy. It's not a stimulant and it works at the cellular level. to be generating more efficient ATP for you. And it gets deployed in the moment at whatever it is that you're doing. So we've had marathon runners. We've had long distance runners. There's a group of people that run like 24 hours or 48 hours.
And all they do is they do their races with spirulina and water and they get, and that's all they use. It's unbelievable.
I'm going to have, I'm an, I literally am a 90 to a hundred minute a day cardio person. So I'm going to I'm going to start testing that out myself because I have never really used any sort of quality spirulina, I'm sure, that I've used in the past. Why is it that a lot of the ones that you buy have to be refrigerated and do yours have to be refrigerated?
No, ours do not have to be refrigerated. I'm not aware of brands that say they have to be refrigerated. I think the only benefit to refrigeration, I will say, is that if you chew them like I do, you'll get green tongues. It will maybe improve the flavor. The more important thing to do is keep them out of sunlight because the light will pull the chlorophyll out.
then you're missing, you know, it won't deteriorate the quality of the remaining nutrients and your protein is still there, but it will pull out the chlorophyll. And you might as well get the biggest bang for your buck. And chlorophyll, we'll talk about chlorophyll in a minute. It's very important for your health, build your blood. Like I say, I won't spoil the future.
