EP 205: Catharine Arnston, founder and Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits, is back for another fascinating conversation—this time focused on women’s health, hormones, and the power of algae. We dive into how spirulina and chlorella support mitochondrial function, balance hormones, and deliver potent antioxidant benefits, all grounded in decades of research.

Catharine's passion for algae began when her sister fell ill, sparking a journey that led to the creation of ENERGYbits. Her deep knowledge and infectious enthusiasm make this a must-listen for anyone curious about how a simple, sustainable superfood can make a big impact.
