Did you know that one gram of algae is the nutritional equivalent to a thousand grams of fruits and vegetables?This could be the most potent and powerful tool to add to your biohacking toolkit. Because algae’s been here for 3 and a half BILLION years - but most people don’t know how powerful it is, how it works, or even that it exists. In this episode of BioHacking Bestie I’m joined by Catharine Arnston, the algae expert, as we discuss the incredible power of this nutrient-rich, detoxifying superfood. She shares algae as a solution to modern agricultural challenges, such as soil depletion due to monocropping, which impacts the minerals and nutrients in our food. We also discuss algae’s impact on gut health and overall wellness, particularly for women in their 30s, and how it can remove toxins and heavy metals from the body, improve gut biome, and aid in recovery from daily stressors. From mental clarity, skin health, energy levels, reduction in biological age markers, and weight management - this really is an impressive superfood. Catharine is the founder and CEO of ENERGYbits - tiny “bits of nutrition” made purely of algae. She started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae - the most nutritionally dense food in the world yet it is virtually unknown outside of Asia.Listen as we discuss…(00:00) It’s never too late to feel great - biohacking for energy and wellness  (11:14) Algae as a food, not a supplement(17:39) The benefits of chlorella - the wellness algae (19:18) The benefits of spirulina - the energizing algae (25:50) The controversy of Ozempic for weight management (44:57) How algae has been shown to reduce biological age markers(51:05) Algae mental clarity, skin health, energy, and weight management.…and more! Grab my brand-new book: Biohack Like a Woman. Order now on Amazon: http://bit.ly/3TYMz5Z Find more from Aggie: Start optimizing your health here: https://biohackingbestie.com/Get daily Biohacking Bestie tips here: https://www.instagram.com/biohackingbestie/Get a 7-Day FREE meal plan here: https://www.fitasfuck.co/mealplanFind more from Catharine:Website: https://energybits.com/Instagram: @energybits Thank you to our sponsors:ENERGYbits: Special code for our listeners, use AGGIE at checkout for 20% off at EnergyBits.comHosted on Acast.
