Why algae is a FOOD not a supplement
Algae Comparison: Spirulina algae v.s chlorella algae
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.

:kind of unlocking all of the potentials
that are there and understanding what
13
: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
18
:can help with anti-aging or rather
slowing down the aging process
19
:and essentially just allowing you
to perform at your highest level.

44
:So super excited to share today's
episode and hopefully you all
45
:enjoy this incredible information
and, uh, let's jump into 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
