In this inspiring episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with Catharine Arnston, the visionary founder and CEO of ENERGYBits, to explore her incredible transformation from business executive and interior design publisher to leading expert in algae nutrition, mitochondrial health, and sustainable wellness.
Catharine's journey began as a deeply personal mission—helping her sister heal from breast cancer by adopting an alkaline, plant-based diet. This path led her to discover the transformative potential of spirulina and chlorella, nutrient-dense microalgae rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. We unpack how these ancient superfoods can:

Supercharge mitochondrial function, boost energy, and enhance brain clarity

Offer a sustainable, eco-friendly nutrition source backed by global organizations like NASA and the United Nations

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
