Dylan Gemelli 0:14
Welcome back to the Dylan Gemelli podcast, everyone. I have an extremely special guest for you today that I am so excited to have here. I've been watching her for several months, but I had the pleasure of meeting her at the A4M recently. And she is an amazing woman. And we have a lot to discuss and talk to you about today. So she is the founder of Energy Bits, which I just was able to get from her and I'm looking forward to. And she's also just became a doctor in September. And this, my friends, is Katherine Arnston. Welcome, Katherine.
Catharine Arnston 0:51
Thank you, Dylan. So great to meet you at the Longevity Summit for A4M in Vegas a couple of weeks ago and be here now. So I'm excited to always share my knowledge of algae. I've been researching it in the science for over 15 years, and I'm actually self-taught on the science. So about three years ago, I thought, well, maybe I should try to get some credentials to back up my knowledge. And as you mentioned, I graduated in September with my PhD, which I'm very proud of. And Anyone who is listening, I also want to point out that I got it. I'm almost 69 and so not far away from 70. So this is proof that if you look after your brain and your health and you have enthusiasm for life and lucky me, I found my path.
Catharine Arnston 1:39
your body and your brain will never stop, but you do have to look after them. We've got some great tips for you. Of course, taking algae is my number one tip and we'll explain why today. Yeah, I don't think that I could have done it without algae. And so I want everybody else to feel as great. I have an expression that says, it's never too late to feel great.
Dylan Gemelli 2:00
I love it. Well, and that's why I wanted to have you on because I, so my wife brought spirulina up to me when I first met her in about it was like 2012 when she first kind of started talking to me about it but I don't I haven't known enough about it because I've been more in like the supplement world and while I do you know natural things this is something that especially recently since I've been watching you that I've learned so much about and I want your knowledge base to To spread this wealth of information to others, because when we have things like this, they can do so much that people really don't know enough about because it's not mainstream enough. You and I both know that I want to help make it mainstream and there's nobody better that I could pick out to help me do that than you.
Dylan Gemelli 2:42
So I just first of all, thank you for for putting so much time and energy into actually helping people. And bringing this to light. So I want to let everybody hear your story first, because, you know, it's why spirulina, why chlorella, why algae? Yeah, right. Tell us your story.
Catharine Arnston 3:00
A little off the beaten trail. Well, I tell people I didn't pick algae, it picked me. And I couldn't imagine life without it, quite honestly. And that's why I'm so eager to help other people use it and learn about it. So I actually wrote a little book recently. It's a booklet actually called The Algae Love Story because... My journey to discover algae and where I am now is definitely a love story. So we all love love stories, right? So it all started, I'm actually Canadian. I've lived in Boston for 35 years, although I am transitioning to Miami where there's a lot of wellness practitioners. Anyways, it all started with my love for my sister. I have two sisters. My younger sister, 15 years ago, developed breast cancer. She's fine. I want everyone to know that. But as she was preparing for her chemotherapy, her oncologist, which is a cancer specialist, advised her to change her diet to an alkaline diet. They didn't tell her why or what it was. So my sister called me. I have an MBA.
Catharine Arnston 3:57
I was doing international business, nothing to do with nutrition, but I'm a good researcher and I love my sister. So I said, I have no idea what this alkaline diet thing is, but I'll find out. And I did. And it turned out to be mostly a plant-based diet for two reasons. One is the plants have phytonutrients in chlorophyll, which have been proven to build your immune system.
