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

  • Support detoxification, gut health, and hormone balance

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

We dive into Catherine’s transition—from a career in interior design and corporate marketing to becoming the “Algae Queen,” spreading awareness to thousands about how algae can support health, longevity, and environmental sustainability.

 Topics Covered in This Episode:

  • The science behind spirulina and chlorella’s effect on mitochondria, brain health, and detoxification

  • Why algae is considered nature’s most nutrient-dense food—yet remains underutilized outside Asia

  • The historical and environmental significance of algae, and its potential to address global nutrition and sustainability crises

  • Loose guidelines for choosing high-quality, toxin-free algae supplements

  • Practical strategies for incorporating algae into your daily routine to enhance focus, energy, and detox cycles


 What You’ll Discover:

  • Why spirulina and chlorella are being called “mitochondria algae”

  • How therapies like red light and cryotherapy can complement algae’s effects

  • Real-life benefits: from clean energy and improved weight management to longevity and skin health

  • Catharine’s vision of making algae simple, accessible, and life-changing for families, athletes, and entrepreneurs

If you're looking for science-backed ways to elevate your health, performance, and purpose, this conversation is your gateway into the world of algae nutrition.
