Pioneers of Longevity Featuring Catharine Arnston



When you think of the most nutritious food on the planet what's the first thing that comes to your mind? Whatever it is that you're thinking of, I'm sure it's not algae! Algae has been around for an incredibly long time, and it serves as one of the must nutritious foods on the planet! In this case specifically we're referring to spirulina and chlorella. In fact, spirulina has even been used by NASA because of its high concentration of nutrients. With over 40+ minerals and vitamins, all 9 essential amino acids (making it a complete protein), and the most protein per pound found in any food on the planet algae is an incredible superfood that needs to be in your daily food consumption.


In this episode of the Elemental Evan podcast, host Evan interviews returning guest Catherine Arnston, founder of Energy Bits. They delve into the incredible health benefits of spirulina and chlorella, two nutrient-dense algae. Catherine shares the latest scientific findings highlighting their potential in boosting mitochondrial health, fighting cancer, and slowing down aging. They also discuss the practical applications of these algae, such as their detoxifying properties, high concentration of vitamins and minerals, and their role in improving overall health. The episode closes with a discussion on recent research and future projects, including growing algae domestically in the USA.

it is that they're doing in our body.

14

:

Uh, we talk a lot about something

called super oxide, dismutase and FICO.

15

:

Sign-in.

16

:

We talk about how it can boost.

17

:

Uh, your mitochondrial health can

help fight cancer and as well, it

46

:

Here's Catherine Arnstein.

47

:

Catharine: My big news was got the PhD.

48

:

And what someone asked me, I

was at this pneumonia conference

49

:

in West Palm last week.

50

:

And they said, Is it an honorary PhD?

51

:

It's like, No, this is the real deal.

52

:

I read as well.

53

:

study a stack of medical books.

54

:

I had to write exams.

55

:

I had to meet the dean.

56

:

I did get credit for, I didn't have

to write a thesis because I have

57

:

done so much writing and research

on mitochondria health with algae.

58

:

So they gave me credit for that.

59

:

But, um, you know, I was, You know, I

didn't tell anybody because, you know,

60

:

I wasn't completely sure if I was going

to pass my exams, but I did and, uh,

61

:

my graduation, you know, procedure or

whatever you call it is in March, but I,

62

:

I got the certificate already and, and,

uh, I'm officially in my emails and we

63

:

haven't made an announcement announcement

yet on Instagram, but it's just, it just

64

:

gives me comfort that I, um, you know, I

actually do know what I'm talking about.

65

:

And, uh, um, I can, I can, and

I felt comfortable, but it was

66

:

still, you know, my background was

in business and 35 years on MBA.

67

:

And who knew I was going

to be a science geek.

68

:

I love science.

69

:

Evan: That's a huge accomplishment

and it's a ton of work.

70

:

Um, I love learning, but I

have no desire to go back to

71

:

school, at least at the moment.

72

:

So I really applaud you on that.

73

:

And now I can go ahead and

put Doctor on your name.

74

:

Yeah.

75

:

Title.

76

:

Um, yeah.

77

:

Yeah.

78

:

Uh,

79

:

Evan: what was, uh, what was

something that you learned?

80

:

Through the teachings that maybe you had

wrong previously and kind of corrected

81

:

and then what's something what are some

things that maybe you learned and you're

82

:

like, kind of still iffy on with, uh, you

know, like bringing together the citizen

83

:

science world and then academia, right?

84

:

Catharine: Right.

85

:

Well, um, you know, I have a

niece who's actually an ER doctor.

86

:

doctor.

87

:

She runs the whole place and I have so

I mean, we know the medical students

88

:

have to learn and apply so much and I'm

so glad I don't have to apply what I

89

:

learned every day on real humans like

she does because I just wanted it so

90

:

I could do more research and have some

street cred and all that sort of stuff.

91

:

So I had to learn, I mean, I should

show you the list of books, I had

92

:

to learn all about the heart, all

about the brain, all about the immune

93

:

system, and there's the detail.

94

:

I have so much more respect for our

bodies, I mean, it is complicated,

95

:

unbelievably complicated, and I had

to learn things like, Drug, uh, herbal

96

:

and vitamin interactions with drugs.

97

:

That was the hardest one because

they're so esoteric and there's so many.

98

:

I mean, it start, you start to

realize why you do not want to take

99

:

medications if you can avoid it, if

you can find something else, because

100

:

the, the interactions and the, the

side effects are just so extensive.

101

:

They just cause, and I've always known it.

102

:

Peripherally, that it causes almost

as many problems as, um, it solves.

103

:

And also the third highest cause

of death after heart disease

104

:

and cancer is medication.

105

:

Third highest, there's a term

for it, I can't think of what

106

:

it is, it's a fancy Latin word.

107

:

Third highest cause of

death is medications.

108

:

Medications interacting,

medications being taken incorrectly,

109

:

too many, too, too little.

110

:

It's crazy.

111

:

It's crazy, so.

112

:

Learning the extraordinary depth

of complexity, uh, blew me away

113

:

and I'm so grateful that I don't

have to apply it every day.

114

:

Um, but on the other hand, I also,

also completely understood why

115

:

there's so much, much mis, um,

diagnoses and misunderstanding.

116

:

Because There's so much about the heart.

117

:

When you're a heart specialist,

that's what you focus on.

118

:

You're not looking at the, you know,

uh, the whole spiritual connected

119

:

piece because lots of, you know, it

turns out that a lot of digestive

120

:

distress and gut biome issues.

121

:

Cause heart attacks, but the heart

specialists doesn't know anything

122

:

about the gut and same with they've

realized that the damaged mitochondria

123

:

are a main cause of heart disease, but

because There's the highest amount of

124

:

mitochondria are in your brain and also

your retina, which is literally the front

125

:

part of your brain They're now realizing

they can pre diagnose and prevent heart

126

:

attacks if there is damaged mitochondria

in the retina, which is much easier to

127

:

evaluate because it's right here, instead

of having to go in and do an incision.

128

:

So, but the heart specialists are

not talking to the eye specialists.

129

:

So, so, You start to understand

why there's this, you know,

130

:

there's that graphic that's

been around forever about this.

131

:

There's this elephant and there's a bunch

of people standing around with blindfolds.

132

:

And one person has got their hand

on the trunk of the elephant and

133

:

they think it's a certain animal.

134

:

And somebody else has got their

hand on the body of the elephant.

135

:

There's so many things.

136

:

People are diagnosing based on

just such a small slice of their

137

:

knowledge, um, uh, and of the patient

that they see in front of them.

138

:

And there's, there's so much more.

139

:

I've just been finishing a great, uh,

lecture series by, um, um, oh gosh, I'm

140

:

just, I'm just blanking on this name.

141

:

It was on one commune.

142

:

Um, Oh, was

143

:

Evan: it Zach

144

:

Catharine: Bush?

145

:

No, I, but I do like, I do love Zach Bush.

146

:

Uh, no, this is, um, Dr.

147

:

Bruce Lipton, he wrote the book

called Biology of Belief and um, how

148

:

everything is energy and when you are

treating an individual, The doctors

149

:

don't know anything about energy and

energy healing, which is so unfortunate.

150

:

But it's not just the

energy of the patient.

151

:

It's the energy of the

environment they're in.

152

:

The energy of their other family members.

153

:

Uh, because that, that, that sort

of disruptive energy Causes your

154

:

cells to respond in a different

way if you are negative and

155

:

frightened and then if you're happy.

156

:

So, and a lot of the negativity

may come from you being unhappy in

157

:

your job or being have, you know,

having digestive distress or, uh,

158

:

family issues, financial issues.

159

:

And you can't just.

160

:

Treat a the patient or

the organ in isolation.

161

:

You need to look at the whole picture

I have been a fan of Bruce Lipton's

162

:

for 20 years and I would have I Hope

I'm sure I'll be able to see him one

163

:

day give a lecture because he's so

smart and so brilliant but the way he

164

:

Lectures and shares his knowledge is

sort of how I'm trying to do which is

165

:

take very complex subject matter make

them easy to understand, almost fun.

166

:

He uses very simple analogies

because he's not trying to impress

167

:

anybody because he doesn't have to.

168

:

He's Bruce Lipton.

169

:

He's trying to share what he's

discovered with the world, which

170

:

is exactly what I'm trying to do.

171

:

I'm not doing any of this for, you

know, like when I tell people I got

172

:

the PhD, it's just so they'll feel

comfortable that I'm telling them

173

:

something that I have a certain amount of.

174

:

scientific background to validate

what I'm sharing with them.

175

:

Nothing for, you know, kudos.

176

:

Um, but anyways, so there's the

ultimate irony is that health can be

177

:

easy, but we have been misinformed

about the way to make it easy.

178

:

We've been just been misinformed.

179

:

We've been given programs and

information that are outdated.

180

:

In fact, the irony is the

information that really is relevant.

181

:

Is the oldest information is centuries

old, and then we got offline with

182

:

all this new fancy pharmaceutical

jargon, and I was treating individual

183

:

organs in isolation, and it makes me

so happy to be part of the movement

184

:

of bringing back the simple nature

derived solutions because I don't work.

185

:

Not quite addressing the topic I'm

here for, but the ultimate irony is

186

:

the things that are going to make

us happy and healthy and live longer

187

:

with fewer chronic diseases are either

free or very affordable and natural.

188

:

sleep, movement, breath, sun.

189

:

And I put algae right in there

because I'm going to help people

190

:

understand that A, it's first

life on earth 4 billion years ago.

191

:

But, uh, if you take 10 tablets a

day, uh, which is what we recommend

192

:

for your average adults and you use a

discount code when we have one for your

193

:

community, it works out to a dollar a day.

194

:

Everybody can afford a dollar a day

and then your grocery bills will

195

:

go down, your, your health will

be better, blah, blah, blah, blah.

196

:

So.

197

:

So, um, uh, and you know, that's

just, I'm trying to live my life.

198

:

Although it's, was difficult

at first because I have an MBA.

199

:

I came from corporate, which is very

stress oriented, uh, high, high intensity.

200

:

And I'm like, how am I

going to build a company?

201

:

That's going to make a difference

in the world and not stress

202

:

my team, not stress myself.

203

:

I have stressed myself.

204

:

I will say that, but I, I've done

my best not to stress my team.

205

:

Um, but, To follow these same principles

of, you know, natural and I've, I've

206

:

loved yoga and walking and sleeping.

207

:

I mean, I sleep, sleep

is for me, sleep analogy.

208

:

They're the two most important things

you can do to keep yourself healthy.

209

:

And we'll, we'll go

through some of that today.

210

:

So, uh, yeah, yeah.

211

:

Evan: Well, I think as well, you,

you are correct that a lot of, uh, a

212

:

lot of the biggest needle movers in

health are very simple, very free.

213

:

Uh, you know, everyone has access to them,

but I will say the difference is, is that,

214

:

um, you know, if we, and like, once again,

not bashing the medical realm necessarily.

215

:

And like you just said, like

they're incredibly smart people.

216

:

They learn so much.

217

:

There's so much to know

about anatomy and physiology.

218

:

It's crazy.

219

:

But, uh, you know, unfortunately we are

in this kind of situation where Everyone

220

:

is kind of looking for that really easy

answer the here's a medication for that

221

:

takes care of this Well, you know like

give me the quick fix as opposed to kind

222

:

of going to that root cause and really

kind of Level and then understanding that

223

:

hey, I'm gonna take a little more effort

at first right until you design your

224

:

lifestyle be that of a healthy lifestyle.

225

:

So it might require you to go for a

15 minute walk after a meal, right?

226

:

It might require you to prioritize

your sleep a little bit.

227

:

It might require you to get creative

with the food that you're making in

228

:

your kitchen and utilizing using.

229

:

you know, better fruits, vegetables,

um, you know, and really just becoming

230

:

more mindful of that, which I think

is, it's difficult because asking

231

:

people to change their lifestyle.

232

:

Yeah.

233

:

Evan: Unfortunately, that's,

or, or fortunately, that is

234

:

where the, uh, the cause is.

235

:

It's how we're living our life day to day.

236

:

It's the, the little choices we make

that add up all day long, as opposed

237

:

to that, you know, then the little

blip of, Oh, take a medication.

238

:

Or it's like, you got to

live a healthy lifestyle.

239

:

And then.

240

:

Supplement it like a

base has to be covered.

241

:

It's really

242

:

Catharine: hard for

people to make changes.

243

:

I know that I've had to make changes,

but, um, and because I think what

244

:

happens is when you're making changes,

all you can see is what you're losing.

245

:

Oh, I can't, you know, my friends all are

drinkers and I'm not drinking anymore.

246

:

I'm not going to be

able to make my friends.

247

:

Well, maybe.

248

:

Maybe you'll find new friends who

share your, or maybe if I have to

249

:

go to bed early, that means I'm

not going to see my favorite show.

250

:

Well, maybe you could record it and

then you could watch it when you're on a

251

:

plane and you've got some other downtime.

252

:

So, so, but we only think of the.

253

:

Things we're losing, not the things

that we're gaining because the loss is

254

:

very evident and, and, and historical.

255

:

And we know the past,

we know what we've done.

256

:

The future is so unknown.

257

:

And so usually when you are afraid, you

know, you're worried about something it's

258

:

because you're afraid of the unknown, but

what if the unknown was so much better?

259

:

Uh, and you, you just.

260

:

make room for that little better

unknown instead of assuming it's

261

:

going to be, um, an unhappy unknown.

262

:

But that being the case, that's the

other reason why I love algae so much

263

:

is because I tell people, you know,

what, if you have these habits that

264

:

are contributing to, uh, um, uh,

less than optimal health condition,

265

:

it's like being in a boat with holes.

266

:

And every time, you continue that

bad habit, the hole just gets bigger

267

:

and your boat slowly starts to sink.

268

:

And so, and people don't

want to make the change.

269

:

So this is where I love algae tablets

so much, because if you did nothing

270

:

else, you make no changes whatsoever.

271

:

You just added them to,

particularly spirulina, because

272

:

there's lots of health benefits.

273

:

We're going to talk about that,

because, um, especially for women

274

:

and breast cancer and stuff, it

will start filling the holes.

275

:

So that you're, you're not sinking.

276

:

It will get you balanced again, and

then you'll maybe start having some

277

:

more clarity because there's also

lots of science that shows that when

278

:

you are fear driven, like most of our

world, your, your frontal executive

279

:

core part of your brain shuts down.

280

:

It's just not able to function properly.

281

:

And the amygdala, which is the

fear driven part of your brain

282

:

stays in charge of everything.

283

:

And so, um, it just, it's, it

blocks the good, uh, evaluative

284

:

capability, cognitive capability.

285

:

So the spirulina, First thing it does is

it improves your brain capability because

286

:

your brain has the highest mitochondria

in, in, um, of all of your cells.

287

:

And when you can get your brain

functioning better, then that

288

:

will start helping your cognitive

abilities and lots of other things.

289

:

But we can not, but you didn't

have to change anything.

290

:

You just had to add it.

291

:

And if you can't swallow 10 tablets in

the morning with a glass of water, you

292

:

You know, I don't know what, you know,

there's nothing, I don't, it's the

293

:

easiest thing that you could possibly do.

294

:

I chew mine, of course, but

everybody else seems to swallow them.

295

:

But anyways,

296

:

Evan: you're a hundred percent right.

297

:

Because I, so I always like to start with

the low hanging fruits, the easiest thing

298

:

to, or, you know, the thing that's going

to give the biggest return on investment.

299

:

And so of course we start with lifestyle

change, but then once we do move into

300

:

nutrition and supplements, I like to look

at what are the things that are going to

301

:

give me that highest return on investment,

which is where, Microalgae spirulina

302

:

chlorella really come into play for me

because they cover so many bases, right?

303

:

It's not just and typically a supplement

should cover multiple bases, right?

304

:

Like you take vitamin D It's

good for multiple things, right?

305

:

But spirulina and chlorella definitely

fit that category having crazy high

306

:

levels of chlorophyll 40 plus vitamins

and minerals all nine essential amino

307

:

acids like it's just it's a really crazy

easy, low hanging fruit for me personally.

308

:

And it's so easy to take, like you

just said, uh, you've made it in

309

:

a very, uh, digestible format, I

guess would be a good way to say it.

310

:

But, uh, yeah.

311

:

And then you had mentioned

with, uh, breast cancer, which

312

:

is a topic I wanted to jump on.

313

:

Yes.

314

:

Uh, because I know you were, uh, talking

a little bit about breast cancer awareness

315

:

month, uh, that had recently passed.

316

:

And as well, of course, you have

some, uh, personal history with that.

317

:

Not with yourself personally,

but, um, within your family.

318

:

And so, what are some of these benefits

we can find through these microalgae?

319

:

in terms of, uh, cancer

fighting properties.

320

:

Catharine: Yeah.

321

:

Well, um, uh, so, um, the there's

spirulina and chlorella are both

322

:

called superfoods, although because

spirulina is so nourishing and we have

323

:

two brands, we have the energy bits and

the beauty bits are exactly the same.

324

:

We just package them differently.

325

:

because we found women didn't

like the blue packaging.

326

:

And I started, as you mentioned, I

started the company because my sister had

327

:

breast cancer and she completely healed.

328

:

So, um, Spirulina has so much nutrition

and, uh, there are particularly two, um,

329

:

nutrients that we're going to talk about.

330

:

One related to, to breast cancer.

331

:

breast cancer and one related to, um, all,

all diseases, including heart disease.

332

:

Um, so I call spirulina your health

and, um, your nutritional insurance.

333

:

It gives you everything your

body in your mitochondria need.

334

:

And then chlorella, which we'll talk

about later on, which is also helpful for

335

:

preventing and correcting breast cancer.

336

:

It has, it builds your immune

system and it pulls out toxins.

337

:

And so, um, and it kills bacteria

and, you know, it kills your gut.

338

:

So I call this your health insurance.

339

:

So spirulina is very much

your nutritional insurance.

340

:

Chlorella is your health insurance.

341

:

So what are these nutrients particularly

in spirulina that are so beneficial

342

:

for preventing heart, um, uh, cancer?

343

:

Well, it turns out this, uh, there's a

couple of things that the, one of the

344

:

reasons why we called spirulina energy

bits is because it gives you energy.

345

:

Now this isn't energy like a stimulant.

346

:

A stimulant is like caffeine,

chemicals, sugar, and you get a

347

:

burst of energy, like putting paper

on a fire and then you get a crash.

348

:

With spirulina, the energy is developed,

is nurtured and created at the

349

:

cellular level, something called ATP.

350

:

And it's like putting a log on

the fire because it's By the

351

:

way, your body cannot store ATP.

352

:

It has to use it immediately

when it's created.

353

:

So, um, when you have a greater need,

cause maybe you have cancer or maybe you

354

:

have, um, a stomach issue or can't sleep,

your body's struggling to maintain ATP.

355

:

or reach equilibrium.

356

:

And so it uses up more energy.

357

:

So you need to be sure your

mitochondria are functioning.

358

:

And if you're not quite sure

what mitochondria are, they

359

:

generate that cellular energy.

360

:

Um, they're not only the generators.

361

:

So they're, uh, of the cellular energy.

362

:

They're like the, um, they're

like the light bulbs in an office.

363

:

They keep your, You're the

energy in your cell working.

364

:

So they create the energy

and they are the light bulb.

365

:

So, so when you don't have enough

mitochondria or their damage, it's like

366

:

having fewer lights on and the fewer

lights you have, the less ability your

367

:

body or your brain has to either protect

you or recover from anything, anything.

368

:

So there's a couple of

key nutrients in here.

369

:

that, what I say, turn your lights back

on so that your mitochondria can work

370

:

and they can function better for you.

371

:

One of them is this blue pigment.

372

:

So spirulina is called a blue green

algae because it has two pigments in it.

373

:

The blue one, which I'm sure you've never

heard of before, it's called phycocyanin.

374

:

I'm going to spell it

P H Y C O C Y A N I N.

375

:

Does not exist anywhere

else in the universe.

376

:

Someone asked me if it was

the same as methylene blue.

377

:

Methylene blue is a fabricated, um, and

it's an important, um, sort of nutrient.

378

:

But this makes, this is, it's like

the warmup bag for phycocyanin.

379

:

And this is natural.

380

:

This is from mother nature.

381

:

So this blue phycocyanin that's

only in spirulina, what does it do?

382

:

It kills cancer cells.

383

:

And that's pretty important.

384

:

And it does it automatically.

385

:

Um, and I'll, I'll tell

you how exactly it works.

386

:

works.

387

:

And, and the chemotherapy

companies, by the way, use

388

:

phycocyanin in their treatments now.

389

:

And the way they determine if their

treatments are working is if they

390

:

measure this little molecule I'll tell

you about called cytochrome C, because

391

:

what phycocyanin does is it ejects it.

392

:

But let me, let me, I'm

getting ahead of myself.

393

:

Here's an experiment that was

done, uh, and I'll send you

394

:

this paper and everything.

395

:

So they took cancer cells and

they put them in a Petri dish

396

:

and they dyed them purple.

397

:

And over a period of 24 hours, uh, and

they added phycocyanin to the petri dish.

398

:

So after 24 hours, the cancer

cells were virtually gone.

399

:

Now I did a, I looked at the test and

I saw how much phycocyanin was used.

400

:

And uh, one of our spirulina L

energy bits tablets has, I think

401

:

4, 000 times more phycocyanin than

they used in this cancer experiment.

402

:

Pretty crazy, right?

403

:

Yeah.

404

:

Yeah.

405

:

So.

406

:

We all have cancer cells

in our bodies at all times.

407

:

Here's the thing.

408

:

Your cancer cells won't multiply and

turn into a damaging health condition

409

:

if your immune system is strong

enough to keep it at bay and if your

410

:

Cellular pH is slightly alkaline.

411

:

There was a scientist by the name of

Otto Warburg in the forties, German

412

:

scientists who won a Nobel Prize for

discovering that cancer cannot exist

413

:

in cells if they are slightly alkaline,

which is about just slightly over seven.

414

:

The scale of acidity to

alkalinity is zero to 14.

415

:

So seven smack dab in the middle.

416

:

And as long as it's like 7.

417

:

1, that indicates that there's oxygen

in the cell, that the cell is healthy

418

:

because when it becomes too acidic,

the cell starts being unhealthy.

419

:

Your mitochondria become unhealthy.

420

:

They aren't generating ATP properly.

421

:

Uh, and also cancer cells

cannot go through a process,

422

:

which is called apoptosis.

423

:

This is what cells that are healthy

when they are, when they start to

424

:

not feel so well, or they've had a

good life and it's time to go, they

425

:

go, Oh, Time to get out of here.

426

:

It's sort of like someone

who's had a 50 year career.

427

:

They're being retired.

428

:

They go, this has been great.

429

:

Here's all my projects.

430

:

Here's all my contacts to

the younger generation.

431

:

Knock yourself out.

432

:

I'm out of here.

433

:

That's what a healthy self does.

434

:

It goes through this process called

apoptosis, which means it divides itself

435

:

into multiple little other cells, no

inflammation and every, all the cells keep

436

:

going, but an as cancer cell or what's

called a senescent cell, which is a cell

437

:

that has subdivided so many times There's

no more healthy DNA, it's, it can't do

438

:

anything, but it doesn't die because it

can't kill itself, and it's inflammatory.

439

:

So it, it, this is one of the things

that contributes to disease, but

440

:

neither one of them can kill themselves.

441

:

So this blue phycocyanin,

here's what's so cool about it.

442

:

I don't know if you under, know

the process of how you create

443

:

ATP, and maybe what I'll do is

just, give you a quick lesson.

444

:

Uh, to generate ATP, there's this thing

called the electron transport chain.

445

:

I know it's really a mouthful and

basically there's these molecules embedded

446

:

in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

447

:

And what they do is they pass electrons

from one, one, molecule to the next,

448

:

and at the end, the generation of

this ATP cellular energy occurs.

449

:

Very similar to in a relay race.

450

:

In a relay race, you have runners, they

pass a baton to the next runner, who

451

:

passes it to the next runner, and then

they hopefully cross the finish line.

452

:

Well, in the electronic transport chain,

that is also going on, but instead of

453

:

a baton being passed, It's electrons.

454

:

And, um, the, you need to be sure that

these molecules, which are the runners,

455

:

are close enough together so they

can pass the electron to each other.

456

:

And if they don't, the electrons

escape and cause free, free

457

:

radical damage, blah, blah, blah.

458

:

But the key is, there's this little

helper molecule between two of them.

459

:

It's called cytochrome C.

460

:

And, in a healthy cell, that blue

phycocyanin speeds up that little helper

461

:

cell, so more electrons can be moved.

462

:

It's like having a Tesla, vroom!

463

:

Suddenly, in a healthy cell,

the blue phycocyanin speeds up.

464

:

moves the electrons along faster.

465

:

This is one of the reasons why spirulina

gives you energy in an unhealthy cell.

466

:

But in an unhealthy cell, the blue

phycocyanin detects that it's either

467

:

a cancer cell or a senescent cell.

468

:

And what does it do?

469

:

It ejects the cytochrome C molecule,

which triggers something called

470

:

capases, which triggers this thing

called apoptosis, which kills the cell.

471

:

Wow.

472

:

Kills

473

:

Catharine: the cell.

474

:

Wow.

475

:

That's the main pathway of how this works.

476

:

This is why I call spirulina intelligent

food, because you have to be intelligent

477

:

to take it, and it knows what to do in

your body, and it does it automatically.

478

:

How crazy is that?

479

:

But there's a kicker here.

480

:

that phycocyanin is

deactivated by high heat.

481

:

Here's a science paper

that I found about that.

482

:

So if you are using algae that has

been, and this gets back to one of

483

:

your other questions, if you're using

algae, that's been, uh, you, uh, dried

484

:

with high heat and almost all the

lower quality, lower priced ones are

485

:

because they need to, you know, Get

to market quickly to sell quickly.

486

:

So if you're going to, you know,

target or Costco to buy your spirulina,

487

:

I can almost promise you that they

used high heat to dry it, which

488

:

deactivates that blue phycocyanin.

489

:

So it's like, so it doesn't do anything.

490

:

It's still blue, but it's not active.

491

:

Um, it's like buying a car

with no engine under the hood.

492

:

So.

493

:

Yes, it looks pretty not

going to go anywhere.

494

:

Um, the only other place that, so

I know for sure, because we don't

495

:

use high heat to dry our algae.

496

:

So this is activated for sure.

497

:

The other place that you could go to

get this activation is through raw or

498

:

frozen spirulina, because once again,

it has not been exposed to high heat and

499

:

the places like the Pocarty's Institute,

which is a very prestigious 50 year

500

:

old healing center in West Palm Beach.

501

:

They've been treating cancer

patients for 50 years.

502

:

What do they do?

503

:

They give them saunas, red light,

spirulina, fresh spirulina every day.

504

:

Um, and, um, they want to work with

us because after the patients are

505

:

discharged, it's really hard for people

to find fresh or frozen spirulina.

506

:

It's also messy and expires

quickly and tastes terrible.

507

:

So, um, They're interested in working

with us because this is a raw food because

508

:

it has not been exposed to high heat.

509

:

So that's one of the most amazing

properties of this, of spirulina

510

:

for the cancer killing capabilities.

511

:

By the way, this blue pigment also

has what's called all these scientific

512

:

things that have long jargony names.

513

:

Uh, it's, It's anti

angiogenesis properties.

514

:

What is that?

515

:

Angiogenesis is the formation of blood

vessels, which is normally a good thing.

516

:

Not when you have cancer or a

tumor, because what they do is

517

:

they reroute the blood vessels

to feed the cancer or the tumor.

518

:

So this anti angiogenesis

capability of the blue phycocyanin.

519

:

intercepts that.

520

:

Basically, it's, it's like a

traffic cop saying, nope, you

521

:

cannot go past, you know, turn here.

522

:

You got, you're out of here.

523

:

So that's what the phycocyanin, it's

the traffic cop that says, no blood

524

:

vessel, you are not feeding that cancer.

525

:

It ends here.

526

:

And so that helps shrink

the cancer or the tumor.

527

:

And again, it does it automatically.

528

:

So, um, and phycocyanin is its own

antioxidant, which, uh, and the

529

:

key with free radicals is you need

antioxidants to neutralize them.

530

:

But the mitochondria is the only cell

in your body that has two membranes.

531

:

And that second inner membrane is

impenetrable by most antioxidants

532

:

like vitamin C can't get in there.

533

:

Vitamin E can't get there.

534

:

Drugs can't get in there.

535

:

But virtually all the nutrients that are

in algae, spirulina and, and chlorella,

536

:

both, uh, which is chlorophyll,

glutathione, um, superoxidizmutase,

537

:

which we'll talk about next, this blue

phycocyte, they can all get in there.

538

:

So it's a great way to get into the

mitochondria, neutralize the free

539

:

radicals that are, being released

because they're always released

540

:

as a byproduct of the cellular

energy and keeps the cell healthy.

541

:

Also, they're all very alkaline,

which again creates that

542

:

alkalinity at the cellular level.

543

:

So there's oxygen because a

byproduct of, um, and we'll talk

544

:

about superoxidizmatase next.

545

:

It's the key antioxidant that protects

the mitochondria and the byproduct

546

:

is water and oxygen and you need

Both of them in your cell to keep

547

:

it alkaline and to keep it healthy.

548

:

So, um, but this blue Fico sign is real

549

:

Evan: quick.

550

:

I wanted to, I wanted to, I have

to stop you right there because.

551

:

I wanted to touch on a point and thank

you for covering the kind of, uh, cause

552

:

this is a common question I've gotten

since, uh, like a lot of our podcast

553

:

episodes have come out was that raw

living spirulina was, you know, had a

554

:

hundred percent of all the benefits and,

And you know, they were going on and on.

555

:

And I knew that you used low

heat, like very low heat.

556

:

And you use sound, uh, to break the

chlorella cell walls, like taking all

557

:

the measures, growing it on, you know,

triple filtered spring water, like really

558

:

just going to the, to the full extent.

559

:

And I feel really good on

it, which I use personally.

560

:

I use a lot of anecdotal

evidence for myself.

561

:

Like how do I feel when I take it?

562

:

So kind of gone down that route, but.

563

:

Thank you for highlighting.

564

:

It is still a raw food.

565

:

Maybe, uh, I don't know that it

would necessarily be in that living

566

:

paste or frozen form, but, uh, I,

I have a hard time believing that

567

:

it doesn't contain those benefits.

568

:

And so thank you for really driving.

569

:

Catharine: Well, spirulina

is not just a raw food.

570

:

It is a live food.

571

:

It will grow.

572

:

Chlorella is raw but not live because

the cell wall has been cracked.

573

:

So it has been modified.

574

:

So it's no longer a live cell.

575

:

But spirulina, our spirulina,

can't say the same for anybody,

576

:

is not just raw but live.

577

:

Um, and algae is its own so

fascinating food category.

578

:

Um, most food crops, whether

it's corn or wheat or tomatoes.

579

:

If the growing conditions deteriorate,

whether not enough sun, not enough

580

:

light, the crops simply die.

581

:

That's it.

582

:

Not algae, uh, especially not spirulina,

but I think it's the same thing with the,

583

:

I'm pretty, I know for sure for chlorella.

584

:

It will go dormant indefinitely until

the growing conditions return, and I

585

:

think I may have told you this story

about this National Geographic team

586

:

going up to the Antarctic, taking

a chip of ice that they've carbon

587

:

dated to be a billion years old.

588

:

realize there was some algae in the ice.

589

:

They put it in a petri dish,

added some water and the darn

590

:

thing started growing again.

591

:

So, uh, yeah, yeah, because it

hasn't been exposed to heat.

592

:

It was just there it is.

593

:

And so, so, so if it's not

exposed to heat like ours is,

594

:

uh, not only is it raw, it's not.

595

:

live.

596

:

Um, and also this is the other interesting

thing about the tablets because we

597

:

preserve all of these nutrients and

the fact that it's a raw live food.

598

:

Um, we do have to put an expiry date

on them because the FDA requires it's

599

:

three years out, but it never goes bad.

600

:

Never.

601

:

Um, even there's a biblical passage

about how, you know, Jesus was feeding

602

:

the masses with manna from heaven.

603

:

They now think it was algae because

the algae was growing on the rocks.

604

:

Now the light sunlight will pull

the green chlorophyll out of it.

605

:

So it's no longer green.

606

:

It's just white.

607

:

So if you go into down to the sea and you

see rocks with some white crusty stuff.

608

:

Pretty sure it's going to

be algae or other stuff.

609

:

The nutrients are still there.

610

:

This polysaccharides, the

proteins, the only thing that's

611

:

missing is the chlorophyll.

612

:

So, um, so it's just, it's just so

interesting to me that there's this

613

:

concentrated nutrients, um, food that's

been provided to us by mother nature.

614

:

You can never go wrong when

you follow mother nature.

615

:

Um, but it's just never

been explained to people.

616

:

I'm still.

617

:

Planning to grow it in Florida, um, you

know, it's going to be a big, inexpensive

618

:

process, but I'm determined to do

it because we need algae in America.

619

:

Um, you know, we don't want to, I don't,

we do import ours from Taiwan and we do

620

:

it very carefully with, with a company

that's been growing it for us for forever

621

:

and they've been growing it for 60 years.

622

:

But international stuff is complicated.

623

:

Um, there's a war in the Middle East.

624

:

So our ships that used to take two weeks

to get here are now taking two months.

625

:

So, um, and you know, we, who knows China

wants to invade Taiwan, just whatever.

626

:

So, so, um, we have lots of

things that we have to look after.

627

:

We want to keep helping people be

healthy with the best food that's

628

:

ever been created in the world.

629

:

So, um, but it has nutrients

in it that are unexplained to

630

:

people in the consumer world.

631

:

Scientists know about this.

632

:

The pharmaceutical companies

know you can Google.

633

:

Phycocyanin, now that you know how to

spell it, P H Y C O C Y N O N, Google

634

:

phycocyanin, and cancer treatments.

635

:

And, um, somebody told me Google's

taking stuff like this down, but

636

:

hopefully some of these reports are

still up there, like I found them, and

637

:

that's where I got this information.

638

:

I've, we've downloaded them,

so you know, we've got them

639

:

preserved, the scientific papers.

640

:

So, um, so yeah, you know, I'm just

sharing what, you know, Is I was

641

:

already been explored and defined

and measured and tested and proven.

642

:

Um, I'm not creating any of this.

643

:

I'm just sharing it.

644

:

Evan: Yeah.

645

:

So, well, and on that note too,

when, uh, when you start moving

646

:

forward with bringing, uh, algae out

to Florida, growing it out there,

647

:

Uh, I would love to be informed on

that and and see all the progress.

648

:

And if there's any way I can help or

maybe I'll come out and check out the

649

:

operations, because that'd be awesome.

650

:

Yeah.

651

:

Yeah.

652

:

And it's always also a pleasure

to just come and see you.

653

:

I know you've been doing so

many different conferences and.

654

:

going to, yeah, a bunch

of different places.

655

:

You have, uh, I had to write it down.

656

:

Was it the Academy of Anti Aging

Medicine Longevity Fest coming up?

657

:

Right?

658

:

I know that's

659

:

Catharine: affectionately

called the A4M show.

660

:

It's in Vegas.

661

:

It's the biggest show for, um,

functional medicine practitioners.

662

:

5, 000 people.

663

:

We've never done it.

664

:

It's our first year.

665

:

We've got a big booth,

taking the entire team there.

666

:

Um, and we're going to blow out the doors.

667

:

So, so we can't, can't wait to be there.

668

:

I, um, not speaking this time, but they

did invite me to, uh, apply for their

669

:

spring version and maybe next year.

670

:

So it's okay.

671

:

I'm, I'm earning my way.

672

:

I'll still be there to educate people.

673

:

Yeah.

674

:

Yeah.

675

:

Evan: And it's, like I said, coming

to your booth is always a great time.

676

:

Um, but I, I loved that you're going

to be at the, like a, uh, basically

677

:

a festival for longevity because, uh,

I know you were just about to kind of

678

:

dive into super oxide dismutase as well.

679

:

You have the beauty bits, right.

680

:

And like, there's a whole portion of that.

681

:

And, uh, obviously beauty is like

typically a sign or, well, Beauty and

682

:

like anti aging kind of go hand in hand.

683

:

But, uh, yeah, what are some of the

properties of spirulina and chlorella when

684

:

it comes to longevity and anti aging or

at least slowing down the aging process?

685

:

I know superoxide dismutase

is going to be in there.

686

:

Catharine: Oh, totally.

687

:

To me, it's the rock star, but

of course, just like phycocyanin,

688

:

people don't know about it, but

if I do my job right, they will.

689

:

So what's the deal with longevity?

690

:

Well, um, our nature, our body, our

biology thinks we're going to die at

691

:

30 because we've been on earth for 2

million years and only in the last 150

692

:

years have we lived longer than 30.

693

:

And so this explains why For women and

men, our hormones start slowing down in

694

:

production at 30, you get to perimenopause

and then you hit menopause and I'm

695

:

way past menopause, by the way, but

also as you get older, melatonin slows

696

:

down in its production, which is why

older people have a hard time sleeping.

697

:

There's just a lot that slows

down because our biology still

698

:

thinks we're going to die at 30.

699

:

So it says, why do I need

to make all this stuff?

700

:

You know, you're out of here.

701

:

But we aren't out of here.

702

:

And so most disease and chronic

illness kicks in at the age of

703

:

40, because that's the, that's

where the rubber hits the road.

704

:

That's the dividing line where your body

has stopped all this, the prevention of

705

:

all these, creating all these, things

that have been preventing disease.

706

:

And by the time you hit 40 you've

been around for a long time.

707

:

You've been accumulating toxins.

708

:

So this is that perfect storm

where at 40 and after the toxicity

709

:

level is just through the roof.

710

:

The average adult in America

now has 700 toxins in them

711

:

and your defense mechanisms.

712

:

that you had all of your

life are basically gone.

713

:

And one of them, which again, you

don't know much about, but you will

714

:

hopefully soon, is this antioxidant

called superoxide dismutase.

715

:

And what is so special about this?

716

:

Well, it is the most powerful

antioxidant that stops free

717

:

radical damage in the mitochondria.

718

:

And what, and so what's going on, as

I mentioned earlier, in that electron

719

:

transport chain, you have the, these

molecules where the electrons are

720

:

passed from one, one to the other.

721

:

Here's another picture of them.

722

:

Okay.

723

:

Here's those molecules, a little

hyper molecule, cytochrome C.

724

:

And when they're close together like that,

uh, the past, just like Tom, Tom Brady

725

:

can make a pass or the runners in the

marathon, um, in the right race can pass

726

:

the electrons quickly and you get ATP.

727

:

Happy day, right?

728

:

However, as you get older and you

have less of this, uh, superoxy

729

:

dismutase, which protects your

mitochondria from, from free radical

730

:

damage, because a byproduct of

all that ATP is free radicals.

731

:

What happens is your

mitochondria start to expand.

732

:

Now those little molecules that

are supposed to be nice and

733

:

tight to one another are, are

further apart from one another.

734

:

So two things happen.

735

:

They can't make the pass,

so they can't generate.

736

:

ATP, because they can't pass the

electrons from one to another, so

737

:

they, the electrons leak out, so that

you have less, the result is less

738

:

energy to do anything, including heal

or protect yourself from anything.

739

:

The other problem is when they

leak out, they don't disappear,

740

:

they just become free radicals.

741

:

So as your mitochondria get more damaged

and they do become more damaged as you

742

:

get older and they die as you get older,

you, this cycle continues because you get

743

:

more and more damaged mitochondria, which

are further, so the molecules are further

744

:

and further apart from one another.

745

:

Here's a picture of a

healthy mitochondria.

746

:

Here's one with all those gaps in

the middle because that's where

747

:

all the damage has occurred.

748

:

And the damage is mostly occurring

from a free radical called superoxide.

749

:

If you know anything about free

radicals, you know it's a molecule

750

:

that has an unpaired electron,

and so nature seeks balance.

751

:

So it will steal an electron from the

neighboring molecule, which then makes it

752

:

unbalanced, and you have tissue damage.

753

:

And then it steals one, and then

it's, this is where damage occurs.

754

:

But these good guys called

antioxidants have extra electrons.

755

:

to donate.

756

:

And so normally that's what

happens when blueberries are

757

:

known to be high in antioxidants.

758

:

But those antioxidants that normally

work in the rest of your body can't

759

:

get into the mitochondria because

there's that inner membrane that

760

:

prevents them from getting in.

761

:

And the ones that can get into that

inner membrane are all in algae.

762

:

The main one is this thing

called super oxide dismutase.

763

:

The most damaging free

radical is called super oxide.

764

:

Why is it so damaging?

765

:

Most free radicals have

one unpaired electron.

766

:

Superoxide has three unpaired electrons.

767

:

So it's three times as damaging

and it's only in the mitochondria.

768

:

So this thing called superoxide

dismutase dismutase means to dim is

769

:

what dims the superoxide deactivates it

and converts it into water and oxygen.

770

:

It's like a fireman.

771

:

You've got a fire.

772

:

Free radicals basically.

773

:

are burning up your mitochondria, right?

774

:

And so it happens automatically.

775

:

If you have ATP, it's

just part of the process.

776

:

And up until then, you had this stuff

until 30 or 40, you had superoxidase,

777

:

which was hosing down the free

radicals so they wouldn't get damaged.

778

:

The, the firemen are gone.

779

:

So when you take spirulina, it has

the highest concentration of spirit

780

:

of superoxygenase in the world.

781

:

So it's like getting your firemen back.

782

:

It automatically puts out the fire of

the superoxide, converts it to water

783

:

and oxygen, and mitochondria are saved.

784

:

And when you have more mitochondria,

you are able to protect yourself

785

:

from anything because you're getting

more cellular energy being generated.

786

:

There's more of them to generate it.

787

:

The ones that are generating it aren't

damaged because when they're damaged,

788

:

they send, they send miscellaneous energy.

789

:

Uh, misinformation.

790

:

It's like having a, your mitochondria DNA

or sort of like the air controllers at

791

:

an airport and when they get, if your air

controllers are all having a bad day, you

792

:

don't want your planes to be crashing.

793

:

When your mitochondria are damaged,

they're sending the wrong signals,

794

:

which can lead to, uh, disease, um,

dysfunctional, uh, You know, uh, brain

795

:

capability, it contributes to everything.

796

:

So keeping your mitochondria healthy is

the number one solution to longevity.

797

:

Number one, part of that is related to

gut biome because of course, if your

798

:

gut is also damaged, but that also

occurs because of, um, toxins and, uh,

799

:

not enough fiber for the gut biome to,

to be, um, working properly, creating

800

:

short chain fatty acids, but it all.

801

:

everything ultimately comes down to the

mitochondria and the highest amount of

802

:

your mitochondria are where your greatest

energy needs are because mitochondria

803

:

generate energy for your body.

804

:

Where are those?

805

:

The places with the highest

mitochondria are in your brain.

806

:

There's something like a million,

Mitochondria per cell in your brain,

807

:

2 million, sorry, 2 million per cell.

808

:

And then the next highest is actually

women's eggs, which have, I think, 800,

809

:

000 after, uh, after that, it's your

heart, which is about six or 7, 000.

810

:

And after that, your muscles, things like

your skin and your fat only have about

811

:

a thousand mitochondria because it's

not where a lot of, energy is required.

812

:

So when you take spirulina,

because spirulina is a bacteria,

813

:

it does not have a cellulose wall.

814

:

So this allows your body to get access

to the 40 vitamins and minerals, the

815

:

high concentration of protein, high

concentration of chlorophyll and the

816

:

high concentration of superoxidized

mutase, as well as the blue phycocyanin.

817

:

So it gets absorbed instantly

and directed to your body.

818

:

to the mitochondria.

819

:

There are 25, 000 studies documenting

how superoxidase mutates, prevents

820

:

heart disease, prevents Alzheimer's,

prevents dementia, prevents inflammation.

821

:

It's unbelievable.

822

:

So it's solid, solid

scientific foundation.

823

:

The only thing is.

824

:

Scientists and nobody knows that

superoxide dismutase is in the highest

825

:

concentration in raw spirulina.

826

:

Again, it has to be raw

because here's the kick.

827

:

Superoxide dismutase is also an enzyme.

828

:

It's an antioxidant,

but it's also an enzyme.

829

:

And any time an enzyme is exposed

to high heat over 114 degrees

830

:

Fahrenheit, it's deactivated.

831

:

So, This is why fresh spirulina

or frozen spirulina is just as

832

:

good for you as ours, because ours

is raw, not exposed to height.

833

:

This is again, why places like Hippocrates

Institute, Gershon Institute use fresh

834

:

and frozen spirulina for that reason.

835

:

Um, so you, again, you can't buy the

cheaper algae and expect it's going to

836

:

have all these great capabilities because

it's missing half of the good stuff.

837

:

Uh, it's like listening to,

you know, a soloist when.

838

:

You know, you could have the orchestra.

839

:

I'd rather listen to the orchestra and

get all these, all these great benefits.

840

:

So, um, these again are

all naturally there.

841

:

We don't put them in,

but we preserve them.

842

:

Whereas other people are not.

843

:

There is super oxidizing.

844

:

He's also, by the way, in

chlorella, just as a higher

845

:

concentrations in the spirulina.

846

:

And the reality is chlorella takes

an hour and a half to be absorbed

847

:

because it has a hard cell wall.

848

:

Spirulina has no cellulose wall,

so it has that rapid absorption,

849

:

no damage in the gut lining because

it, uh, through digestion because

850

:

it gets absorbed so quickly.

851

:

So uh, very efficient nutrition,

um, and again, this is why I call

852

:

it your nutritional insurance.

853

:

It's ensuring your health.

854

:

your mitochondria's health.

855

:

And when we go to this, to the conference,

the longevity conference, and we do a lot,

856

:

we're doing more and more with longevity

because longevity is very much based on

857

:

science and, uh, stem cells are very big.

858

:

Um, uh, there's lots of other sort of, um,

uh, discoveries going on with, longevity.

859

:

And we have the science.

860

:

And by the way, I don't know if I told

you, we did our first clinical trial

861

:

in the summer for mitochondria health.

862

:

Evan: Congrats Catherine.

863

:

That's awesome.

864

:

No, that's huge.

865

:

Sorry.

866

:

I got to take a moment and pause there.

867

:

That's huge.

868

:

When companies put that effort

in to me, that says so much.

869

:

So congratulations.

870

:

I know it's expensive

and it's time consuming.

871

:

And I appreciate you doing it.

872

:

Please explain.

873

:

Sorry.

874

:

I want to congratulate you.

875

:

It

876

:

Catharine: was just a mini one because

we, we needed to get something done

877

:

quickly in time for this conference.

878

:

And we're going to do a

much bigger one next year.

879

:

So, uh, and it was quite fortuitous

because, um, we were at Dave Asprey's

880

:

show in June biohack upgrade labs

and the company exhibiting beside us

881

:

was, is a company called MeScreen.

882

:

And what they've done is they've

developed a technology, a blood test.

883

:

You can order online.

884

:

MeScreen.

885

:

com.

886

:

Consumers, I encourage everybody that,

uh, tests your, um, mitochondria health.

887

:

Uh, it determines your ATP production

levels, the extra excess capacity

888

:

of your mitochondria, free radical

production, blah, blah, blah, blah.

889

:

So we partnered with them and we had a

group of people, half women, half men, and

890

:

we chose people who were over the age of

55, because 40 is when that marker hits,

891

:

when your mitochondria are missing the

superoxidase mutations, or pretty much

892

:

everybody's getting damaged mitochondria.

893

:

So, Those were the conditions and that

they had never taken either a greens

894

:

powder or an algae product beforehand.

895

:

So for 30 days, we gave

them just the spirulina.

896

:

We tested their mitochondria health

first with the MiScreen test.

897

:

It's a simple blood test.

898

:

You, mail it off to them.

899

:

And, and their lab, by the

way, is in University of

900

:

Southern California, San Diego.

901

:

And their head scientist, uh, PhD

is a gentleman by the name of Dr.

902

:

Hemal Patel.

903

:

And he is the scientist that does

all of the brain, uh, studies for Dr.

904

:

Joe Dispenza.

905

:

So he and his brain test trust,

he has a brain trust in his lab.

906

:

So we had great people.

907

:

Right.

908

:

You know, overseeing and

running our tests for us.

909

:

So we did one me screen to set the

base level, gave people the spirulina.

910

:

Seven days later, we gave them

another me screen test, sent the

911

:

blood test, and then they continued

for the rest of the 30 days.

912

:

I only have the seven day results.

913

:

I'm getting the rest of the results this

week, in fact, because we're getting

914

:

a scientific paper written up, a case

study and all that sort of stuff.

915

:

And the best quote I can tell you that

came from Hemel, uh, when he looked at the

916

:

numbers because it showed that there was,

um, the inflammation level had dropped

917

:

and the production of ATP had improved and

the capacity of the mitochondria improved,

918

:

which means there's more capability.

919

:

The quote was that the only time

he'd seen such great results

920

:

was in another clinical study.

921

:

They had done early in the year,

uh, with, uh, uh, intermittent

922

:

fasting and it took 90 days of, uh,

to achieve the same mitochondria

923

:

improvements that were achieved in

seven days of taking the spirulina

924

:

and that's a direct quote from him.

925

:

So, um, uh, so I was pretty happy and,

and you also, you don't usually get.

926

:

That rapid change and that's why

we're going to do it for longer

927

:

next time, maybe do two months.

928

:

Um, so we can, because I don't want,

you know, I'm, I'm looking for science

929

:

and I need to know, you know, what's

really going on and what's being

930

:

measured, but they are the first company

that's been able to develop this.

931

:

And we're going to take a look at

how we can skill this capability

932

:

to measure the mitochondria.

933

:

Um, because that's, that's where all

the action is, is the mitochondria

934

:

and the mitochondrial DNA.

935

:

So, um, so I was really happy and,

and, you know, I oversaw the clinical

936

:

trial and wrote the parameters

and, and, uh, we're going to,

937

:

we'll see them all at A4M as well.

938

:

Hopefully him all come to our booth

and talk a little bit about it.

939

:

So we'll have more, hopefully

we'll have the paper written to

940

:

share, um, by then and then we'll

do a much larger one next year.

941

:

Evan: Share it.

942

:

Please share any of your findings with me.

943

:

Email it to me.

944

:

I want to, I want to be one of

the first people to see this.

945

:

This is so.

946

:

So cool and intriguing to me.

947

:

Um, uh, I wanted to, we covered

a few different things here that

948

:

I wanted to kind of reel back on.

949

:

One of them was, uh, how you had

mentioned with the mitochondrial health.

950

:

So I don't intermittent fasting kind

of one of the methods in which it

951

:

improves the mitochondria is through

essentially you're no longer, you're kind

952

:

of getting yourself more fat adapted.

953

:

Right?

954

:

And so the mitochondria, um, they tend

to go through this phase where, uh, it's,

955

:

essentially getting cleaned out and you

know, if they're dysfunctioning or they

956

:

have broken parts, they kind of just get.

957

:

put aside, you know, processed all that.

958

:

And then, uh, new mitochondria are

created essentially through that process.

959

:

And that's kind of how you kind of

renew your mitochondria through,

960

:

uh, fasting or intermittent fasting.

961

:

Uh, so for the spirulina or, or

chlorella, which I'm guessing it's

962

:

spirulina here in this case, but, um,

that would in what, what manner were they

963

:

achieving that same level of benefit?

964

:

Was it through processing out

the mitochondria or just like

965

:

actually healing them up?

966

:

Catharine: Well, lots of things.

967

:

So first of all, when you're intermittent

fasting, you're not eating, you're

968

:

eating in a very small window.

969

:

Um, and if you're keto, that's even

better because there's two things, the

970

:

mitochondria, remember that, that little,

you know, electron transport chain that

971

:

I showed you where, um, the electrons are

being passed from, from one to the next.

972

:

Okay.

973

:

Now, if they, as they get further

and further apart from one

974

:

another, because they're damaged,

the mitochondria is damaged.

975

:

Okay.

976

:

More of the electrons escape

and turn into free radicals,

977

:

which damage the mitochondria.

978

:

Um, and the other problem is carbs

create more free radicals than,

979

:

um, than, uh, fat or protein.

980

:

And algae has zero carbs.

981

:

So it has the same effect of a few.

982

:

Efficiency as intermittent fasting because

you're not getting an overload of carbs.

983

:

I have this I'm, not sure if people

have seen this because i'm older than

984

:

you are, but there was this great.

985

:

Um, lucille ball Episode and

they people use it sometimes

986

:

and she's on this conveyor belt.

987

:

I think she's making chocolates

or something and the conveyor belt

988

:

moves, she can't keep up with it.

989

:

So she starts shoving the

chocolates in her mouth and

990

:

they're falling all over the place.

991

:

That's what happens

here when you eat carbs.

992

:

Your, your electron transport chain can't

keep up with all of these Um, carbs, and

993

:

so it just spills out into free radicals.

994

:

You're just killing, carbs

are killing your mitochondria.

995

:

No other way to tell, processed

carbs, you know, there's fiber

996

:

carbs, which are good for you.

997

:

Processed carbs are

killing your mitochondria.

998

:

No other way to tell you that.

999

:

So when you reduce the carbs and also

you reduce the period of time that

:

00:55:22,074 --> 00:55:25,494

if you are eating carbs, that they're

being exposed to your mitochondria.

:

00:55:26,414 --> 00:55:27,374

This allows them to.

:

00:55:27,779 --> 00:55:29,209

keep up with the process.

:

00:55:29,379 --> 00:55:32,813

It allows them to go through

a process called autophagy,

:

00:55:32,813 --> 00:55:34,326

Evan: which

:

00:55:34,326 --> 00:55:36,409

Catharine: is cleaning up.

:

00:55:36,419 --> 00:55:37,959

So there's two processes

in your mitochondria.

:

00:55:38,009 --> 00:55:42,789

One is called apoptosis, which is the cell

healthy cell death, where the cell goes.

:

00:55:43,469 --> 00:55:44,539

It's been a great ride.

:

00:55:44,629 --> 00:55:45,369

I'm retiring.

:

00:55:45,369 --> 00:55:46,009

I'm out of here.

:

00:55:46,049 --> 00:55:49,129

Take all my good DNA

and put it to good work.

:

00:55:49,189 --> 00:55:50,779

You know, Good luck, goodbye.

:

00:55:51,169 --> 00:55:54,219

Uh, and the other one is

autophagy, which the, you know,

:

00:55:54,229 --> 00:55:55,969

the cell just cleans itself up.

:

00:55:56,229 --> 00:55:57,639

That's like spring cleaning.

:

00:55:57,889 --> 00:56:01,709

If you don't, or, you know, if anyone

has a teenager at home, they don't like

:

00:56:01,709 --> 00:56:04,599

to clean up their room and eventually

it gets so bad, you know, whatever.

:

00:56:04,899 --> 00:56:08,119

So think of having teenagers

in your, in your mitochondria,

:

00:56:08,119 --> 00:56:09,389

leaving a big mess everywhere.

:

00:56:09,389 --> 00:56:13,574

And if you don't give the

cell a break by, intermittent

:

00:56:13,574 --> 00:56:15,164

fasting, which allows it to go.

:

00:56:15,174 --> 00:56:18,384

Okay, finally, I got

some time to clean up.

:

00:56:18,804 --> 00:56:20,534

All right, I'm cleaned up now.

:

00:56:20,684 --> 00:56:21,584

Oh, I feel better.

:

00:56:21,754 --> 00:56:24,234

Oh, I can make more ATP

because I'm feeling better.

:

00:56:24,724 --> 00:56:26,034

That's what autophagy does.

:

00:56:26,034 --> 00:56:27,594

And so you get through the top.

:

00:56:27,594 --> 00:56:32,704

So the spirulina, because

there's zero carbs, also has

:

00:56:32,704 --> 00:56:35,334

that cleanup effect of autophagy.

:

00:56:35,604 --> 00:56:38,964

And because it has zero

carbs, it's very efficient.

:

00:56:39,214 --> 00:56:44,134

Um, and it stimulates either speeding

up the process because of the blue

:

00:56:44,144 --> 00:56:49,124

phycocyanin, so you get more ATP

produced, so the body has more

:

00:56:49,364 --> 00:56:54,884

cellular energy to heal, to heal

itself, to heal the mitochondria, to

:

00:56:54,884 --> 00:56:58,944

heal your brain, to heal your gut,

because it's been more efficient.

:

00:56:59,244 --> 00:57:05,044

Also, there's superoxidizimutase,

which is, I refer to superoxidizimutase

:

00:57:05,044 --> 00:57:06,414

as a big golf umbrella.

:

00:57:07,234 --> 00:57:09,454

You can't stop the rain

of the free radicals.

:

00:57:09,454 --> 00:57:10,134

They're going to be there.

:

00:57:10,144 --> 00:57:12,844

If you do reduce your carbs,

you'll have fewer of them,

:

00:57:13,064 --> 00:57:14,594

but the rain is already there.

:

00:57:15,074 --> 00:57:17,564

Superoxidizumabase is like

having a big gulf umbrella.

:

00:57:17,854 --> 00:57:21,674

It's protecting the mitochondria

from damage of the free radicals.

:

00:57:22,024 --> 00:57:25,134

But after 40, you don't have

that big gulf umbrella anymore.

:

00:57:25,144 --> 00:57:27,544

You're just, you're exposed

to all the free radicals.

:

00:57:28,184 --> 00:57:31,324

Superoxidizumabase in the

spirulina can be very, gives your

:

00:57:31,334 --> 00:57:33,874

mitochondria back the gulf umbrella.

:

00:57:34,384 --> 00:57:37,944

The free radicals are still happening, but

they're not, but they're being converted.

:

00:57:37,944 --> 00:57:40,844

They're being neutralized

into oxygen and water.

:

00:57:41,114 --> 00:57:43,294

So it's like, it's

protecting the mitochondria.

:

00:57:43,314 --> 00:57:45,564

So now they can heal.

:

00:57:45,794 --> 00:57:48,229

They can produce more energy.

:

00:57:48,419 --> 00:57:50,039

They're producing more oxygen.

:

00:57:50,039 --> 00:57:52,259

They're keeping the alkalinity.

:

00:57:52,259 --> 00:57:53,639

Everything is working better.

:

00:57:53,639 --> 00:57:56,639

It's just there's there's

the autophagy cleaned it up.

:

00:57:56,899 --> 00:58:01,749

The apoptosis got rid of any, you

know, senescent cells or which are

:

00:58:01,749 --> 00:58:06,389

inflammatory or cancer cells, which

are, you know, deadly, sucking

:

00:58:06,409 --> 00:58:08,349

up energy that your body wants.

:

00:58:08,449 --> 00:58:13,949

to what otherwise used to, uh, think

better, move better, heal better.

:

00:58:14,169 --> 00:58:20,799

So it's this cascade of effects

that can't be, um, can't be

:

00:58:20,799 --> 00:58:22,709

attributed to one isolated thing.

:

00:58:22,989 --> 00:58:28,159

This is the beauty of food in general

and spirulina in particular, which is

:

00:58:28,159 --> 00:58:34,459

food because there are, Um, um, uh,

lots of up leveling going on from the

:

00:58:34,459 --> 00:58:37,769

factors and cofactors and enzymes and

coins and phytonutrients and nutrients.

:

00:58:38,019 --> 00:58:43,719

It just, it just is, the results

are mind blowing and they're done

:

00:58:43,719 --> 00:58:45,909

naturally, not a drug, right?

:

00:58:46,359 --> 00:58:51,419

If a drug company could replicate this,

uh, it'd be like GLP one be blockbuster.

:

00:58:51,729 --> 00:58:55,239

Um, so, and by the way,

if anyone is on GOP one P.

:

00:58:55,239 --> 00:58:55,319

O.

:

00:58:55,319 --> 00:59:00,629

One, please, which they're finding

has great anti inflammatory benefits.

:

00:59:00,639 --> 00:59:04,639

So I don't want to be beating up on GLP

one because there's lots of other benefits

:

00:59:05,039 --> 00:59:07,849

beyond the weight and also excess weight.

:

00:59:08,254 --> 00:59:09,164

inflammatory.

:

00:59:09,594 --> 00:59:10,164

We need.

:

00:59:10,334 --> 00:59:15,474

So, so, but if you are on the GOP one, the

reality is you're not eating or you're not

:

00:59:15,494 --> 00:59:20,984

eating much and your cells constantly need

to be fed and they need to be fed proteins

:

00:59:21,204 --> 00:59:25,244

because not only protein to build your

muscle and your, uh, your brain and stuff,

:

00:59:25,504 --> 00:59:28,684

there are folded proteins inside your DNA.

:

00:59:28,684 --> 00:59:33,034

And if they need the amino

acids to to be able to fold

:

00:59:33,054 --> 00:59:35,534

properly and and work properly.

:

00:59:35,534 --> 00:59:38,754

So there's more than what meets

the eye on the protein thing.

:

00:59:39,084 --> 00:59:43,264

So when you're on a GLP one, you're not

eating, you're probably not getting enough

:

00:59:43,264 --> 00:59:47,694

amino acids, you're going to lose muscle

mass, and you're going to have some deeper

:

00:59:47,814 --> 00:59:49,894

health issues if you don't eat enough.

:

00:59:49,894 --> 00:59:53,604

provide your body with

the aminos that they need.

:

00:59:53,834 --> 00:59:56,514

And so spirulina has 19 of the 20 aminos.

:

00:59:56,824 --> 00:59:59,624

So does chlorella, um, including

the nine, as you mentioned

:

00:59:59,624 --> 01:00:01,164

earlier, that your body can't make.

:

01:00:01,164 --> 01:00:05,154

So just do yourself a favor if you're

on a GLP 1 or even if you want the

:

01:00:05,154 --> 01:00:09,134

benefits without taking the GLP 1

because spirulina satisfies your hunger.

:

01:00:09,414 --> 01:00:13,174

It's great for intermittent fasting,

zero carbs, one calorie per tablet.

:

01:00:13,184 --> 01:00:14,344

You could have 30 for lunch.

:

01:00:14,514 --> 01:00:18,344

You wouldn't be hungry for 30 for

three or four hours for 30 calories.

:

01:00:18,724 --> 01:00:23,424

Um, but it has all these other healing

properties that trump anything on, on

:

01:00:23,424 --> 01:00:26,464

top and over the weight loss benefits.

:

01:00:26,814 --> 01:00:27,214

Yeah.

:

01:00:27,874 --> 01:00:28,204

Evan: Yeah.

:

01:00:28,254 --> 01:00:31,584

The, and so you're actually

kind of leading me to a few.

:

01:00:32,584 --> 01:00:38,424

You, uh, questions we received on

YouTube from our videos, uh, which,

:

01:00:38,444 --> 01:00:42,974

if, yeah, if you're happy, I would,

I would love to, uh, ask you, okay.

:

01:00:43,184 --> 01:00:48,144

So the first one, and you just mentioned

right now is if you had 30, uh, 30 of

:

01:00:48,144 --> 01:00:52,514

the energy bits tablets that it would

be, you know, 30 calories and last you

:

01:00:52,524 --> 01:00:56,114

for, you know, three or four hours in

terms of in those hunger cravings, a

:

01:00:56,114 --> 01:01:01,984

person asked how many, uh, spirulina or

chlorella tablets could you take in a day?

:

01:01:02,204 --> 01:01:02,994

Uh, which.

:

01:01:03,589 --> 01:01:07,249

I'll, I have my answer, but I'm going

to let you go ahead and jump in on here.

:

01:01:07,589 --> 01:01:07,939

Catharine: Sure.

:

01:01:08,549 --> 01:01:09,389

Unlimited.

:

01:01:09,459 --> 01:01:14,149

You know, if you ate a thousand, you would

have diarrhea and we've had people write

:

01:01:14,149 --> 01:01:18,549

us how their, you know, lap dog who loves

the tablets jumped up on the counter and

:

01:01:18,549 --> 01:01:20,089

ate a full bag of a thousand tablets.

:

01:01:20,089 --> 01:01:21,169

And they called us in a panic.

:

01:01:21,169 --> 01:01:21,709

Well, they die.

:

01:01:21,709 --> 01:01:23,389

And I said, no, those probably

throw up and they'll poop a

:

01:01:23,389 --> 01:01:24,369

little bit, but they'll be fine.

:

01:01:24,729 --> 01:01:31,269

So if a small lap dog can eat a thousand

tablets and survive fine with just a

:

01:01:31,269 --> 01:01:34,329

little, you know, diarrhea, it's food.

:

01:01:34,539 --> 01:01:36,869

It's like, could you die

from eating a small lap dog?

:

01:01:37,019 --> 01:01:37,959

large salad?

:

01:01:37,989 --> 01:01:38,529

No.

:

01:01:38,819 --> 01:01:44,199

Uh, or I see these hot dog competitions

at farms and, you know, somebody's eating

:

01:01:44,199 --> 01:01:45,959

like that's not, I'm not recommending it.

:

01:01:45,959 --> 01:01:46,369

Trust me.

:

01:01:46,599 --> 01:01:49,029

I don't even, I would never

touch a hot dog in my life.

:

01:01:49,049 --> 01:01:51,079

Um, but the point is it's food.

:

01:01:51,289 --> 01:01:54,649

So, but the better question

is how many do you need?

:

01:01:55,009 --> 01:02:00,969

And my suggested, uh, recommendation is

for, for filling nutritional gaps and

:

01:02:00,969 --> 01:02:05,449

for maintenance purposes, 10 spirulina

in the morning or afternoon and 10

:

01:02:05,449 --> 01:02:07,759

chlorella at night is sufficient.

:

01:02:08,089 --> 01:02:12,389

Um, because, uh, and by the way, it

will replace many of your supplements.

:

01:02:12,399 --> 01:02:13,949

It can certainly replace a fish oil.

:

01:02:13,949 --> 01:02:15,189

Please stop taking fish oil.

:

01:02:15,449 --> 01:02:17,709

I also suggest people stop

eating kale because it's got

:

01:02:17,709 --> 01:02:19,029

so many lectins and oxalates.

:

01:02:19,319 --> 01:02:22,689

Um, and it's carnivores, fish

oil, friendly, no lectins or

:

01:02:22,689 --> 01:02:24,429

oxalates in any of the algae.

:

01:02:24,739 --> 01:02:29,379

Um, so it can replace a multivitamin,

a CoQ10, so it can replace stuff.

:

01:02:29,839 --> 01:02:31,269

So 10 is plenty.

:

01:02:31,489 --> 01:02:35,969

Um, mind you, if you want to correct

something, if you, or prevent

:

01:02:35,979 --> 01:02:41,379

something, 30, which is what's in a

pouch, is what, uh, is a better thing.

:

01:02:41,559 --> 01:02:43,729

um, medicinal quantity.

:

01:02:44,009 --> 01:02:48,889

Um, so this would be 10 spirulina in

the morning for maintenance and 10

:

01:02:48,889 --> 01:02:53,949

chlorella would give your immune health

a boost because it has high chlorophyll.

:

01:02:54,149 --> 01:02:57,369

It's, um, it's got lots of

other phytonutrients, K2, which

:

01:02:57,369 --> 01:02:59,629

moves excess calcium out of

soft tissue into your bones.

:

01:03:00,119 --> 01:03:06,769

Um, but for protection and correction,

um, of any kind, whether you want to

:

01:03:06,769 --> 01:03:09,869

lose weight, you were going to do a

great run, you want a great workout.

:

01:03:09,869 --> 01:03:15,689

If you're an athlete, 30 spirulina

is a better number and 30 chlorella

:

01:03:15,709 --> 01:03:17,479

before bed is a better number.

:

01:03:17,479 --> 01:03:20,549

And the reason why we recommend

the chlorella before bed is

:

01:03:20,579 --> 01:03:23,369

because that's when your body

goes through a detox repair cycle.

:

01:03:23,749 --> 01:03:26,659

So chlorella has something

called chlorella growth factor.

:

01:03:26,869 --> 01:03:29,669

growth factor that speeds

up the growth of your cells.

:

01:03:29,909 --> 01:03:33,999

It has a hard cell wall that pulls

out toxins of any kind, lead, mercury,

:

01:03:33,999 --> 01:03:38,529

radiation, aluminum, alcohol, lactic

acid, but it needs enough juice

:

01:03:38,929 --> 01:03:41,079

to, uh, well, power to pull it out.

:

01:03:41,099 --> 01:03:45,729

And if ten won't do it, so if you

wanted to have a detox benefit.

:

01:03:45,729 --> 01:03:47,589

10 or 30.

:

01:03:47,629 --> 01:03:48,809

Chlorella is what you need.

:

01:03:49,319 --> 01:03:53,769

Also, chlorella stimulates what's known

as peristalsis, which is a bowel movement.

:

01:03:54,038 --> 01:03:57,369

A lot of people eat fiber,

sell, sell them husk because,

:

01:03:57,389 --> 01:03:58,889

um, they don't like vegetables.

:

01:03:58,889 --> 01:04:02,634

And so they, they, they need, And

if you're eating, if you're on any

:

01:04:02,634 --> 01:04:06,324

medication or you're eating dairy or

processed foods, you're traveling,

:

01:04:06,324 --> 01:04:09,264

you're stressed, I can almost promise

you, you're, you're, you're constipated.

:

01:04:09,634 --> 01:04:10,744

This will resolve it.

:

01:04:10,744 --> 01:04:14,284

And sometimes if this has got too

much protein and you're feeling

:

01:04:14,284 --> 01:04:17,114

some constipation, drink more

water and definitely add chlorella.

:

01:04:17,444 --> 01:04:21,274

This will stimulate what I call, uh,

getting rid of the junk in your trunk.

:

01:04:21,544 --> 01:04:24,204

Um, because if you don't get rid of

what's sitting in your colon, which

:

01:04:24,204 --> 01:04:28,084

is stuff your body didn't want, it's

like having a, garbage truck parked

:

01:04:28,084 --> 01:04:29,434

in front of your house permanently.

:

01:04:29,744 --> 01:04:31,274

You want to get rid of that stuff.

:

01:04:31,784 --> 01:04:32,244

Okay.

:

01:04:32,464 --> 01:04:35,224

So, but so 30 and 30 is medicinal.

:

01:04:35,244 --> 01:04:38,334

Now you can have way more than that.

:

01:04:38,574 --> 01:04:44,244

We have NHL players that put 75 spirulina

in their smoothies, the Detroit red

:

01:04:44,244 --> 01:04:46,094

rings, for example, before a game.

:

01:04:46,104 --> 01:04:48,514

And they put 75 chlorella

in their smoothie.

:

01:04:49,049 --> 01:04:49,699

after a game.

:

01:04:50,239 --> 01:04:51,799

Now they're professionals.

:

01:04:52,038 --> 01:04:54,889

They need focus and speed on the ice.

:

01:04:55,109 --> 01:04:57,779

And so they want everything that's

going to give them the edge.

:

01:04:57,809 --> 01:04:59,989

And this does it same with chlorella.

:

01:05:00,019 --> 01:05:02,209

They want to get rid of that lactic acid.

:

01:05:02,209 --> 01:05:03,999

They want to make sure their

immune system is strong.

:

01:05:03,999 --> 01:05:05,489

So they're not going to

get sick and miss a game.

:

01:05:05,749 --> 01:05:06,689

This will do it.

:

01:05:06,909 --> 01:05:11,969

So they're doing 75 and 75, but, and

honestly, I have even more of that.

:

01:05:13,309 --> 01:05:18,419

And I have for 15 years and

I missed a day in 15 years.

:

01:05:18,429 --> 01:05:20,379

And I don't know what I eat real food.

:

01:05:20,379 --> 01:05:21,469

I do intermittent fasting.

:

01:05:21,469 --> 01:05:23,929

I pretty much eat one day, one meal a day.

:

01:05:24,179 --> 01:05:26,679

Um, so I'm in a really small window.

:

01:05:26,859 --> 01:05:27,629

I feel great.

:

01:05:27,639 --> 01:05:28,419

I sleep great.

:

01:05:28,579 --> 01:05:29,329

I think great.

:

01:05:29,519 --> 01:05:30,269

I move great.

:

01:05:30,299 --> 01:05:31,019

I poop great.

:

01:05:31,329 --> 01:05:33,069

And for my age, it's remarkable.

:

01:05:33,079 --> 01:05:34,169

I have no medications.

:

01:05:34,169 --> 01:05:35,199

I take no other medication.

:

01:05:35,288 --> 01:05:36,349

No other supplements.

:

01:05:36,349 --> 01:05:39,089

I have no health issues, not one.

:

01:05:39,288 --> 01:05:41,909

I met Brian Johnson last weekend.

:

01:05:42,038 --> 01:05:46,899

He's the guy who, uh, for all the

news about he's spending 5 million

:

01:05:46,899 --> 01:05:51,354

or 2 million a year on all these

blood tests and whatever to, knock

:

01:05:51,354 --> 01:05:53,304

a few years off his biological age.

:

01:05:53,314 --> 01:05:54,514

I think he's 48.

:

01:05:54,584 --> 01:05:56,064

biological age is 42.

:

01:05:56,434 --> 01:06:01,744

Um, well, I have the, I, the equivalent

of, uh, at least one of these a day,

:

01:06:01,854 --> 01:06:05,584

which would cost you, if you take 30,

that would be, if you bought it in

:

01:06:05,594 --> 01:06:07,624

the bag format, that would be 3 a day.

:

01:06:07,624 --> 01:06:12,394

But anyways, I, I've knocked 30

years off my biological age, 30

:

01:06:12,684 --> 01:06:15,784

for 3 a day of spirulina and 3.

:

01:06:15,834 --> 01:06:19,314

Now I'm suggesting you take

10, which is a dollar a day.

:

01:06:19,659 --> 01:06:24,819

10 spirulina, 10 chlorella, so

that's 2, but if you only could

:

01:06:24,819 --> 01:06:30,029

choose one, I'm, I usually defer

to spirulina because it's absorbed.

:

01:06:30,038 --> 01:06:31,089

You will feel it.

:

01:06:31,479 --> 01:06:32,489

You don't have to wait weeks.

:

01:06:32,489 --> 01:06:33,219

You don't have to even wait days.

:

01:06:35,159 --> 01:06:39,769

If you don't feel anything, a slight

improvement in focus or energy after half

:

01:06:39,769 --> 01:06:41,419

an hour, you just didn't take enough.

:

01:06:41,429 --> 01:06:47,589

So take more with chlorella because it's

a wellness preventative kind of algae,

:

01:06:47,609 --> 01:06:49,279

not really noticing quite as much.

:

01:06:49,288 --> 01:06:49,959

So you might not.

:

01:06:49,974 --> 01:06:53,694

Be, um, you might not have muscle

fatigue after a workout and you

:

01:06:53,694 --> 01:06:56,754

certainly will be sober after an hour

and a half if you have any alcohol.

:

01:06:56,754 --> 01:07:01,344

But for spirulina across the board,

absolutely everybody feels something.

:

01:07:01,614 --> 01:07:04,854

Uh, you can give this to your

children, to your pets for children.

:

01:07:04,854 --> 01:07:07,134

Give them half a a tablet for their age.

:

01:07:07,134 --> 01:07:08,663

So their 10, give them a a five.

:

01:07:08,663 --> 01:07:10,194

I was just on a podcast today with.

:

01:07:10,574 --> 01:07:16,094

Um, some coaches who coach kids and

they all gave them to their kids and the

:

01:07:16,094 --> 01:07:18,104

kids had the best games and best focus.

:

01:07:18,104 --> 01:07:23,064

No caffeine, no chemicals, no sugar, no

nothing, just a hundred percent nutrition.

:

01:07:23,413 --> 01:07:25,984

Um, so, uh, so we know

it works really well.

:

01:07:25,984 --> 01:07:26,334

So,

:

01:07:26,814 --> 01:07:27,184

Evan: yeah.

:

01:07:27,344 --> 01:07:27,604

No.

:

01:07:27,744 --> 01:07:31,704

And thank you for mentioning the

detoxifying properties of chlorella.

:

01:07:31,744 --> 01:07:33,864

That's one of my big

purposes for taking it.

:

01:07:34,174 --> 01:07:39,314

Uh, especially if any, if there is

any occasion with alcohol, For sure

:

01:07:39,344 --> 01:07:45,114

that, uh, you know, uh, uh, charcoal,

uh, activated charcoals on the list,

:

01:07:45,144 --> 01:07:48,114

glutathione like those all three

yeah, are making it into there.

:

01:07:48,204 --> 01:07:48,954

Um, chlorella,

:

01:07:49,014 --> 01:07:51,114

Catharine: by the way, has the

highest glutathione in the world,

:

01:07:51,114 --> 01:07:54,714

so lots of people do IV drips

and glutathione, which is great.

:

01:07:54,714 --> 01:07:58,704

But take this at the same time,

because you will extend the benefits.

:

01:07:58,704 --> 01:08:02,814

Glutathione has a very short,

um, uh, short, uh, half-life,

:

01:08:02,814 --> 01:08:03,864

which means it only lasts.

:

01:08:04,299 --> 01:08:07,199

It lasts about an hour when

you do it in a drip, uh, so you

:

01:08:07,199 --> 01:08:09,629

do get a nice, um, uh, detox.

:

01:08:09,889 --> 01:08:14,999

But if you, uh, stack it with the spirit,

the chlorella, it will last longer.

:

01:08:15,479 --> 01:08:15,909

Evan: Wow.

:

01:08:16,019 --> 01:08:16,379

Okay.

:

01:08:16,408 --> 01:08:17,698

No, thank you for, for mentioning.

:

01:08:18,089 --> 01:08:19,868

And it actually contains

glutathione within it.

:

01:08:20,029 --> 01:08:20,459

The highest

:

01:08:20,559 --> 01:08:21,599

Catharine: glutathione in the world.

:

01:08:21,609 --> 01:08:22,339

We do lab tests.

:

01:08:22,919 --> 01:08:23,109

Yeah.

:

01:08:23,109 --> 01:08:23,189

Yeah.

:

01:08:23,368 --> 01:08:24,669

It's like 6, 000 times.

:

01:08:24,669 --> 01:08:26,589

I don't know what, something, but yeah.

:

01:08:26,589 --> 01:08:30,709

And, and Spirulina has glutathione too,

but, uh, it's, it has, it's claimed to

:

01:08:30,709 --> 01:08:34,589

fame, the highest superoxide dismutase,

which is the mitochondria health.

:

01:08:34,589 --> 01:08:36,959

And this is the highest

glutathione in the world.

:

01:08:36,959 --> 01:08:42,484

This is why Spirulina is the

nourishing brain, Algae and chlorella

:

01:08:42,484 --> 01:08:48,334

is the detox, um, gut algae because

the glutathione, the chlorophyll.

:

01:08:48,363 --> 01:08:48,484

Mm-Hmm.

:

01:08:48,604 --> 01:08:53,524

, the heart cell wall fiber feeds, the

gut biome pulls out, uh, stimulates

:

01:08:53,524 --> 01:08:57,394

peristalsis, which moves, uh, uh, all

the junk in your trunk outta your colon.

:

01:08:57,394 --> 01:08:57,679

So, Mm-Hmm.

:

01:08:57,759 --> 01:09:00,214

, this is very much a gut health algae.

:

01:09:00,214 --> 01:09:03,304

This is about a brain mitochondria, algae.

:

01:09:03,304 --> 01:09:03,363

Wow.

:

01:09:03,604 --> 01:09:06,274

So I, and I tell people, you

know, this is nourishing.

:

01:09:06,524 --> 01:09:08,584

hotels when I travel.

:

01:09:08,584 --> 01:09:10,304

And so this is like room service.

:

01:09:10,304 --> 01:09:11,554

It nourishes you for the day.

:

01:09:11,554 --> 01:09:15,004

And then you come back, your room's all

clean, just like housekeeping was there.

:

01:09:15,004 --> 01:09:20,374

So, so think of Chlorella as housekeeping

and Spirulina as room service.

:

01:09:20,374 --> 01:09:21,943

Evan: I love it.

:

01:09:22,024 --> 01:09:22,434

Yeah.

:

01:09:22,734 --> 01:09:27,894

No, that's, I mean, it's in my, it's

in my daily process every single day.

:

01:09:27,894 --> 01:09:31,559

Although I don't, Uh, I don't always

take chlorella in the evening.

:

01:09:31,609 --> 01:09:34,868

Um, I actually kind of cycle

between the two usually, but now I'm

:

01:09:34,868 --> 01:09:36,439

going to start doing that process.

:

01:09:36,618 --> 01:09:36,738

And

:

01:09:36,788 --> 01:09:38,349

Catharine: you can take it

any time of day, but we just,

:

01:09:38,589 --> 01:09:39,759

you'll get a lot of benefit.

:

01:09:39,979 --> 01:09:43,929

Um, and by the way, chlorella tastes

delicious with pistachio nuts.

:

01:09:43,929 --> 01:09:46,389

My favorite is salt and

vinegar pistachio nuts.

:

01:09:46,399 --> 01:09:49,189

It's a brand called

wonderful or macadamia nuts.

:

01:09:49,779 --> 01:09:51,479

We just put it in any kind of trail mix.

:

01:09:51,828 --> 01:09:52,979

Uh, it's, it's great.

:

01:09:52,988 --> 01:09:56,239

Spirulina, it doesn't, nothing

really improves the flavor of it.

:

01:09:56,249 --> 01:09:57,449

So most people just swallow it.

:

01:09:57,449 --> 01:09:58,619

I'll, I'll admit to that.

:

01:09:59,259 --> 01:09:59,579

Yeah,

:

01:09:59,759 --> 01:10:00,759

Evan: no, that's okay though.

:

01:10:00,849 --> 01:10:03,529

Um, well, I do have a few more questions.

:

01:10:04,719 --> 01:10:06,529

So I'm going to, I'm going

to run these by real quick.

:

01:10:06,529 --> 01:10:10,949

So first off, uh, will

energy bits be sold abroad?

:

01:10:10,949 --> 01:10:14,669

Uh, I think the person who was asking

this was actually from the UK, but

:

01:10:14,669 --> 01:10:18,049

we'll just, we'll put Europe as well

in there or, or anywhere abroad.

:

01:10:18,594 --> 01:10:20,834

Catharine: Yeah, we do ship

internationally, but it's expensive

:

01:10:20,834 --> 01:10:22,014

and you know, it's horrible.

:

01:10:22,024 --> 01:10:25,804

So the good news for the person in

the UK is six months ago, we formed

:

01:10:25,804 --> 01:10:33,604

a partnership with a UK wellness

website called HEALTH, H E A L T H F,

:

01:10:33,614 --> 01:10:36,294

I think they're very, very popular.

:

01:10:36,564 --> 01:10:38,629

Um, so you can go to HEALTH.

:

01:10:39,939 --> 01:10:41,709

and they've got all of our products.

:

01:10:42,509 --> 01:10:44,129

We started with just two and

then they added two more.

:

01:10:44,139 --> 01:10:45,589

They've got just about everything now.

:

01:10:45,599 --> 01:10:52,019

So, um, and we're trying to build an

Amazon site in Australia and the UK.

:

01:10:52,349 --> 01:10:58,439

Um, but the, um, the logistics

and the paperwork and the forms

:

01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,759

and the, we have to set up a

company there and get approved.

:

01:11:01,759 --> 01:11:05,999

And, uh, there's a lot of, we've

been working on this, almost nine

:

01:11:05,999 --> 01:11:09,659

months now and we're still in

the form of, but that's coming.

:

01:11:09,659 --> 01:11:13,629

So we'll, we will have an Amazon by

next year in us cause we have a lot

:

01:11:13,629 --> 01:11:17,449

of people in Australia who hear me on

podcasts and they want the product.

:

01:11:17,449 --> 01:11:18,669

So, so it's coming.

:

01:11:19,059 --> 01:11:23,299

So, uh, but you can go in the UK

folks go to health and uh, you'll

:

01:11:23,299 --> 01:11:24,849

get, you can get your stuff there.

:

01:11:25,249 --> 01:11:26,089

Evan: Okay, cool.

:

01:11:26,169 --> 01:11:31,739

Um, uh, the next one is, does

algae have beta carotene in it?

:

01:11:32,109 --> 01:11:33,139

Catharine: Oh, my God.

:

01:11:33,329 --> 01:11:37,599

I was the highest in the world,

which is a precursor to vitamin a.

:

01:11:37,929 --> 01:11:40,909

Uh, it's the natural

form of, uh, precursor.

:

01:11:40,949 --> 01:11:42,619

I guess it's precursors,

not the natural form.

:

01:11:42,929 --> 01:11:46,299

So, um, so absolutely it's, I don't

have the numbers in front of us, but

:

01:11:46,299 --> 01:11:49,549

if you go on our website and you go to

any one of the product, you'll see the

:

01:11:49,549 --> 01:11:52,369

nutritional chart that lists everything.

:

01:11:52,379 --> 01:11:55,909

Um, 30 tablets, but you'll

see all the quantities.

:

01:11:55,919 --> 01:11:58,239

There's, there's over 40 nutrients.

:

01:11:59,534 --> 01:12:01,484

And that's only because those

are the ones we've tested.

:

01:12:01,484 --> 01:12:04,954

We're going to be at, you only,

we, you have to ask the labs

:

01:12:04,954 --> 01:12:05,894

to test for certain things.

:

01:12:05,904 --> 01:12:07,644

So we're adding about

another 20 nutrients.

:

01:12:07,644 --> 01:12:09,994

So I hope there's going to be

room on our nutrition chart.

:

01:12:13,184 --> 01:12:15,094

The website on all of our products.

:

01:12:15,154 --> 01:12:18,784

The canisters, the bags, we have a

little QR code and that will show

:

01:12:18,784 --> 01:12:20,454

you the full nutritional chart too.

:

01:12:20,554 --> 01:12:24,094

Because the FDA only allows us to

put certain nutrients into the,

:

01:12:24,434 --> 01:12:25,894

what we have as a nutritional chart.

:

01:12:26,134 --> 01:12:27,374

They won't let us list everything.

:

01:12:27,374 --> 01:12:29,584

They just say, Nope, these

are the ones you can, and

:

01:12:29,854 --> 01:12:31,294

tells us the size of the line.

:

01:12:31,304 --> 01:12:33,364

It's, it's, uh, cause

that's what the FDA does.

:

01:12:33,364 --> 01:12:38,134

It regulates packaging, uh,

of supplements and food.

:

01:12:38,424 --> 01:12:44,419

Um, it only, drugs, but it regulates

the packaging of other things.

:

01:12:44,419 --> 01:12:46,279

And so we're in the food category.

:

01:12:46,689 --> 01:12:47,099

Evan: Okay.

:

01:12:47,249 --> 01:12:47,539

Okay.

:

01:12:47,539 --> 01:12:48,019

Gotcha.

:

01:12:48,349 --> 01:12:52,429

Um, and then I think this is the

last one that I included on here.

:

01:12:52,429 --> 01:12:55,189

We had someone who was a

pretty big cod oil fan.

:

01:12:55,199 --> 01:12:58,779

They were pretty adamant

about hyping up cod oil.

:

01:12:58,779 --> 01:13:04,109

So anyways, they were saying

that, uh, algae, doesn't work

:

01:13:04,119 --> 01:13:06,439

as a lubricant such as cod oil.

:

01:13:06,629 --> 01:13:09,289

Um, I don't know if they're

talking primarily about the

:

01:13:09,299 --> 01:13:11,979

Omega three content in there.

:

01:13:12,068 --> 01:13:17,309

Um, I, I'm not really sure, but

yeah, we'll, we'll answer this one.

:

01:13:17,309 --> 01:13:19,049

So does this act as a lubricant?

:

01:13:19,568 --> 01:13:25,009

Catharine: Well, I don't, uh, I'm not

sure what they're defining as a lubricant.

:

01:13:25,009 --> 01:13:29,924

Here's the importance of things

like Omega three, your cells, are

:

01:13:29,924 --> 01:13:34,094

made of something called lipids,

which is a fancy way of saying fats.

:

01:13:34,414 --> 01:13:40,244

And so you need healthy fats, whether

it's vitamin D or omega three to

:

01:13:40,274 --> 01:13:47,979

keep your cell wall moist and working

because when it's dried up, nutrients

:

01:13:47,979 --> 01:13:49,929

can't get in and toxins can't get out.

:

01:13:49,929 --> 01:13:54,959

So the key for your cell health,

one of the keys is keeping toxins

:

01:13:54,959 --> 01:13:56,909

out, of course, keeping it healthy.

:

01:13:56,919 --> 01:13:58,849

And the way you do that

is with healthy fats.

:

01:13:59,189 --> 01:14:03,979

Um, now algae has some spirulina,

not, not so much chlorella.

:

01:14:03,979 --> 01:14:07,189

Spirulina has some omega 3, but not a lot.

:

01:14:07,229 --> 01:14:09,443

I will say, however, it has omega 3.

:

01:14:09,554 --> 01:14:12,074

other essential fatty acids and something

else I'm going to tell you about

:

01:14:12,074 --> 01:14:13,124

that I'm sure you didn't know about.

:

01:14:13,504 --> 01:14:17,534

So it has a, uh, technically an

omega 6, which is called GLA,

:

01:14:17,544 --> 01:14:19,284

which stands for gamma lineic acid.

:

01:14:19,794 --> 01:14:23,154

Now, normally we all know

omega 6s aren't good for you.

:

01:14:23,184 --> 01:14:26,554

Stay away from the, from

the, uh, canola oils.

:

01:14:26,554 --> 01:14:28,139

It's the, it's the, It's evil.

:

01:14:28,179 --> 01:14:28,899

It's just evil.

:

01:14:28,899 --> 01:14:30,019

I don't know how to describe it.

:

01:14:30,549 --> 01:14:35,699

But particularly, Omega 6s are bad because

they're all heated processed foods.

:

01:14:35,699 --> 01:14:36,579

Use Omega 3s.

:

01:14:36,589 --> 01:14:39,769

They, all those potato chips, and

they are cooked in, uh, these,

:

01:14:39,949 --> 01:14:42,419

uh, Omega 6s, not three, sorry.

:

01:14:42,719 --> 01:14:45,559

Now we don't, we don't heat our algae.

:

01:14:45,769 --> 01:14:50,568

And so Omega, this, this, GLA,

if it's not exposed to IE, it

:

01:14:50,589 --> 01:14:52,089

behaves like an omega three.

:

01:14:52,089 --> 01:14:55,779

And if you ever thought you weren't sure

whether GLA was an important essential

:

01:14:55,779 --> 01:14:59,049

fatty acid, the only place that has

more of it is mother's breast milk.

:

01:14:59,429 --> 01:15:02,129

And the reason why it's in such high

concentration in mother's breast milk

:

01:15:02,129 --> 01:15:06,519

is that it's an important essential

fatty acid for the baby's brain to grow.

:

01:15:07,169 --> 01:15:08,729

Second to mother's breast milk.

:

01:15:08,834 --> 01:15:09,884

is spirulina.

:

01:15:10,264 --> 01:15:16,874

So it has and because we don't use

high heats to dry our algae, it's in

:

01:15:16,874 --> 01:15:19,164

a format that behaves like an omega 3.

:

01:15:19,174 --> 01:15:23,054

So it supports the omega 3, you

know, which is not in a small,

:

01:15:23,104 --> 01:15:24,434

large quantity, which I will admit.

:

01:15:24,949 --> 01:15:28,829

Now here's the thing that most people

would never know, and I don't know if I

:

01:15:28,829 --> 01:15:30,449

have a chart, a picture I can show you.

:

01:15:30,959 --> 01:15:36,079

So algae has the highest concentration

of chlorophyll in the world, and we

:

01:15:36,079 --> 01:15:37,449

know that chlorophyll builds your blood.

:

01:15:37,869 --> 01:15:43,519

But what you probably don't know is

that chlorophyll is a fat based pigment.

:

01:15:43,839 --> 01:15:44,859

And here's a picture.

:

01:15:45,068 --> 01:15:49,959

I put some spirulina in a bowl, and the

beautiful blue pigment, which we talked

:

01:15:49,959 --> 01:15:54,679

about earlier, phycocyanin, dispersed,

dispersed evenly through the water.

:

01:15:54,679 --> 01:15:55,959

Look how gorgeous that is.

:

01:15:56,339 --> 01:16:01,139

And then when I did the same thing with

the chlorella, which only has chlorophyll,

:

01:16:01,389 --> 01:16:04,359

it did not disperse evenly and it clumps.

:

01:16:04,639 --> 01:16:09,789

I did this experiment 20 times until

finally I went online and I learned

:

01:16:10,139 --> 01:16:12,329

that chlorophyll is a fat based pigment.

:

01:16:13,049 --> 01:16:16,619

So chlorophyll heals your cell walls.

:

01:16:17,064 --> 01:16:23,024

Just like an omega 3, a D3, a

vitamin E, because it's fat.

:

01:16:23,324 --> 01:16:24,364

It's fat.

:

01:16:24,624 --> 01:16:27,454

And I think this is one of

the reasons why people do, um,

:

01:16:28,084 --> 01:16:29,984

um, juice fasts or something.

:

01:16:30,054 --> 01:16:34,624

Part of it's the cleaning of the cell wall

or the healing of the cell wall from the,

:

01:16:34,934 --> 01:16:38,664

but unfortunately our vegetables don't

have any chlorophyll in them anymore.

:

01:16:38,664 --> 01:16:40,224

They don't have any

nutrients in them anymore.

:

01:16:40,224 --> 01:16:42,814

Even if you're eating organic,

my arugula goes yellow after day

:

01:16:42,824 --> 01:16:44,384

three because there wasn't much.

:

01:16:44,659 --> 01:16:45,159

Chlorophyll.

:

01:16:45,629 --> 01:16:47,329

Algae has the highest

chlorophyll in the world.

:

01:16:47,499 --> 01:16:52,839

Chlorella has 400, chlorophyll

than arugula, and 25 times

:

01:16:52,839 --> 01:16:54,449

more than liquid chlorophyll.

:

01:16:54,919 --> 01:16:57,269

Spirulina has half the amount

of chlorophyll because it's

:

01:16:57,269 --> 01:16:58,369

got that other pigment in it.

:

01:16:58,629 --> 01:17:03,179

So either one that you're taking,

you're benefiting your cell walls

:

01:17:03,189 --> 01:17:05,369

just as if you had with omega 3.

:

01:17:05,379 --> 01:17:09,818

Now the trouble with fish oil in

general is that it goes rancid.

:

01:17:10,119 --> 01:17:11,109

It oxidizes.

:

01:17:11,148 --> 01:17:12,799

It just is what happens.

:

01:17:13,079 --> 01:17:16,979

So in many cases, the fish oil is

either rancid by the time you get it,

:

01:17:17,219 --> 01:17:18,859

or it goes rancid shortly thereafter.

:

01:17:19,129 --> 01:17:22,549

So it's supposed to be taken for

anti inflammatory purposes, and

:

01:17:22,549 --> 01:17:23,779

now it's causing inflammation.

:

01:17:24,939 --> 01:17:29,519

there, I'm sure there's some sources that

are reputable and work better than others.

:

01:17:29,529 --> 01:17:33,369

So I don't want to get into a battle

with cod oil because I know it's been

:

01:17:33,369 --> 01:17:38,219

used safely and effectively, especially

for brain health for centuries.

:

01:17:38,449 --> 01:17:42,419

So honestly, if something's

working for you, Stay with it.

:

01:17:43,029 --> 01:17:47,379

And if you want to experiment, just add

the algae, the spirulina in particular.

:

01:17:47,549 --> 01:17:51,789

I'm not saying take your, your,

uh, cod oil away, but if you want

:

01:17:51,789 --> 01:17:55,059

to up level, it's like the thing

we were talking about earlier.

:

01:17:55,449 --> 01:17:58,879

You always look at change as

being a negative, but it's because

:

01:17:58,879 --> 01:18:00,449

you're not aware of the positive.

:

01:18:00,759 --> 01:18:03,589

You don't know how much

better you could feel.

:

01:18:03,844 --> 01:18:03,974

Right?

:

01:18:04,193 --> 01:18:04,894

Until you try it.

:

01:18:05,264 --> 01:18:08,134

And if you don't want to come to

our website and buy a large bag,

:

01:18:08,644 --> 01:18:12,404

with the 20 percent discount code

we have, Elemental, you could go to

:

01:18:12,404 --> 01:18:15,374

Amazon, buy a little pouch for 6.

:

01:18:15,764 --> 01:18:17,494

Very inexpensive experiment.

:

01:18:17,494 --> 01:18:20,014

They have, you know, if you have prime

shipping, it costs you nothing to ship.

:

01:18:20,574 --> 01:18:23,284

There's nothing like trying

something out on yourself.

:

01:18:23,304 --> 01:18:24,534

In small quantities.

:

01:18:24,894 --> 01:18:27,014

I'm not here to convince

anybody of anything.

:

01:18:27,014 --> 01:18:31,554

I'm just here to to share my knowledge,

provide you with a healthy, safe,

:

01:18:31,914 --> 01:18:36,864

nutrient dense solution that's working

for tens of thousands of people,

:

01:18:37,314 --> 01:18:40,104

hundreds, frankly, including myself.

:

01:18:40,434 --> 01:18:43,914

Um, I just want you to feel as

great as I do, but so you don't

:

01:18:43,914 --> 01:18:45,314

have to give up your cod liver oil.

:

01:18:45,364 --> 01:18:47,934

This is not a, this is

not a political landscape.

:

01:18:48,023 --> 01:18:50,789

Nutrition has turned into a a war.

:

01:18:51,539 --> 01:18:53,759

And I love algae because it's like me.

:

01:18:53,789 --> 01:18:55,159

I just want to be friends with everybody.

:

01:18:55,169 --> 01:18:58,099

Algae wants to work with everybody

and it can work with everybody.

:

01:18:58,099 --> 01:19:04,209

Whatever your choices are, vegan,

vegetarian, paleo, uh, low cal, low carb,

:

01:19:04,489 --> 01:19:08,273

uh, carnivore, It doesn't choose sides.

:

01:19:08,604 --> 01:19:10,334

It's not, it's not the election.

:

01:19:10,964 --> 01:19:11,084

Yeah.

:

01:19:12,434 --> 01:19:14,724

Catharine: It's, it's your, you

know, honestly, it's your best

:

01:19:14,724 --> 01:19:16,924

friend and it's, it's on your side.

:

01:19:17,244 --> 01:19:18,574

So, so is your mitochondria.

:

01:19:18,604 --> 01:19:22,004

They want to do the best job for you,

but they can't put food in your mouth.

:

01:19:23,104 --> 01:19:28,054

only you can, uh, so, or, or, or

limited through intermittent fasting.

:

01:19:28,064 --> 01:19:31,894

So it, um, so it's on

your side and so is algae.

:

01:19:32,193 --> 01:19:36,074

So it just wants to be, it's just there

to help you if you want to try it.

:

01:19:37,344 --> 01:19:37,824

Evan: Catherine.

:

01:19:37,874 --> 01:19:40,174

I knew there was a reason

why we're good friends.

:

01:19:40,544 --> 01:19:40,744

Yeah.

:

01:19:40,794 --> 01:19:42,744

You and I are, we're the same in that.

:

01:19:42,784 --> 01:19:44,554

Um, yeah, honestly, just.

:

01:19:44,984 --> 01:19:46,404

Want to be a friend to all.

:

01:19:46,404 --> 01:19:48,414

And, and like you said, sharing knowledge.

:

01:19:48,414 --> 01:19:51,784

That's what the show is about trying

to make it into bite sized pieces.

:

01:19:51,784 --> 01:19:53,374

Digestible people can.

:

01:19:53,804 --> 01:19:56,264

You know, retain this knowledge and

actually apply it to their life.

:

01:19:56,264 --> 01:19:58,943

So, um, Catherine, thank you so much.

:

01:19:58,954 --> 01:20:02,854

Um, I, I want to provide a little

moment here for you to share any,

:

01:20:02,894 --> 01:20:06,514

any last minute, uh, thoughts or as

well, places where people can connect

:

01:20:06,514 --> 01:20:08,523

with you, find more information.

:

01:20:08,693 --> 01:20:11,104

Of course, I will put that in

the show notes or the description

:

01:20:11,104 --> 01:20:12,224

of this episode as well.

:

01:20:12,424 --> 01:20:15,264

And then aside from that, just think

from the bottom of my heart, appreciate

:

01:20:15,264 --> 01:20:16,443

you always coming on this show.

:

01:20:16,484 --> 01:20:18,114

Catharine: Oh, well, thank you, Evan.

:

01:20:18,114 --> 01:20:21,474

And I'm so grateful for you

because you know, we can't get

:

01:20:21,474 --> 01:20:23,264

this information out any other way.

:

01:20:23,304 --> 01:20:26,864

Um, so just a couple of

things that LG isn't new.

:

01:20:26,864 --> 01:20:27,914

It's just new to you.

:

01:20:27,914 --> 01:20:29,354

It's been used for centuries.

:

01:20:29,354 --> 01:20:32,669

The, uh, Egyptians used it, the

Aztecs used it 250 years ago.

:

01:20:32,669 --> 01:20:36,029

It's been used in Asia

every day for over 60 years.

:

01:20:36,039 --> 01:20:39,859

So scientifically proven, endorsed by

international agencies, United Nations.

:

01:20:40,209 --> 01:20:43,359

It just hasn't been explained

to you properly or at all.

:

01:20:43,579 --> 01:20:47,839

So, uh, give it a try, uh, and stay

open minded, give it a, and then

:

01:20:47,869 --> 01:20:49,429

personally try to experience it.

:

01:20:49,719 --> 01:20:51,919

I will say that I didn't invent algae.

:

01:20:51,919 --> 01:20:52,919

That's mother nature.

:

01:20:53,179 --> 01:20:54,199

Um, but I do.

:

01:20:54,709 --> 01:20:58,309

Uh, grow it so carefully

to preserve the nutrients.

:

01:20:58,309 --> 01:21:03,639

So they are the highest efficacy

that you can possibly get and safety.

:

01:21:03,639 --> 01:21:06,349

So you can give it to any member

of your family, including your

:

01:21:06,359 --> 01:21:07,529

pets and not worry about it.

:

01:21:08,099 --> 01:21:10,619

We try to make it as affordable

as possible with this.

:

01:21:11,229 --> 01:21:15,979

If you use the elemental discount

code, Um, on the website, energybits.

:

01:21:15,989 --> 01:21:19,259

com, um, and the big

bag is their best value.

:

01:21:19,489 --> 01:21:22,409

It will, if you take 10 a day,

it costs you a dollar a day

:

01:21:22,429 --> 01:21:23,689

and will last you three months.

:

01:21:23,969 --> 01:21:27,459

Um, and the only other thing I

will say is we are in a crisis.

:

01:21:27,818 --> 01:21:32,379

We are in a nutritional crisis,

a mental health crisis, a health

:

01:21:32,379 --> 01:21:35,249

crisis, uh, an environmental crisis.

:

01:21:35,669 --> 01:21:39,949

And the irony is algae

can solve all of those.

:

01:21:39,949 --> 01:21:41,229

It's not going to happen overnight.

:

01:21:41,549 --> 01:21:42,539

It's not going to go away.

:

01:21:42,539 --> 01:21:43,869

It's been here for four billion years.

:

01:21:44,169 --> 01:21:49,259

Um, but I, my job is to try to

help you learn more about it, keep

:

01:21:49,269 --> 01:21:51,089

growing it, maybe hopefully soon.

:

01:21:51,154 --> 01:21:56,304

In America, um, because it will, it will

be the answer for feeding our world.

:

01:21:56,314 --> 01:21:57,484

There's no question.

:

01:21:57,824 --> 01:22:00,714

And, uh, so somebody

has to lead the charge.

:

01:22:00,724 --> 01:22:01,804

I guess that's what I'm doing.

:

01:22:02,704 --> 01:22:04,344

Um, so learn as much as you can.

:

01:22:04,344 --> 01:22:04,724

We're here.

:

01:22:04,724 --> 01:22:05,504

We have a blog.

:

01:22:05,834 --> 01:22:08,314

Um, we're also very active

on social media, Instagram.

:

01:22:08,964 --> 01:22:10,273

Our handle is energy bets.

:

01:22:10,273 --> 01:22:11,394

Facebook is energy bits.

:

01:22:11,914 --> 01:22:13,934

Um, come and see us at shows.

:

01:22:14,004 --> 01:22:16,014

We're here to work with you, help you.

:

01:22:16,474 --> 01:22:17,364

And so is LG.

:

01:22:18,414 --> 01:22:19,193

Evan: Yeah, Catherine.

:

01:22:19,193 --> 01:22:20,244

I love it so much.

:

01:22:20,264 --> 01:22:22,124

Um, Thank you as well for mentioning that.

:

01:22:22,124 --> 01:22:22,324

Yeah.

:

01:22:22,324 --> 01:22:25,114

The, uh, for all the listeners,

there will be the code in the

:

01:22:25,114 --> 01:22:26,664

description with the link right there.

:

01:22:26,664 --> 01:22:30,374

So if you do want to go make a purchase,

you'll get that 20 percent discount.

:

01:22:30,554 --> 01:22:34,374

Uh, thank you, Catherine and the whole

team of energy bits for providing that.

:

01:22:34,654 --> 01:22:39,429

Um, and yeah, what a way to end that,

uh, at, End your statement there.

:

01:22:39,429 --> 01:22:40,269

That was beautiful.

:

01:22:40,299 --> 01:22:42,849

Um, like I said, it's a

pleasure to have you on.

:

01:22:42,849 --> 01:22:44,318

Thank you for all the work you're doing.

:

01:22:44,318 --> 01:22:46,898

Congrats as well on the PhD.

01:22:46,904 --> 01:22:47,174

Thank you.

conference quite a while now.

Um, but we'll see you again.

01:22:59,289 --> 01:23:00,068

Catharine: Don't, don't worry.

01:23:00,279 --> 01:23:00,869

Oh, for sure.

:

01:23:00,919 --> 01:23:01,259

For sure.

:

01:23:01,259 --> 01:23:03,809

There's no perfect, but

01:23:04,219 --> 01:23:04,809

Evan: thank you so much.
