Updated: Jun 1


Graphic that says 4 big health breakthroughs
The Power of Algae





If you’re a woman looking to reclaim your health and energy, especially in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, you'll want to hear about Algae.


This one is a must-listen for anyone navigating the challenges of menopause, perimenopause, low energy, or lingering mystery symptoms.


Natalie sits down with algae expert Catharine Arnston to reveal the nutrition powerhouse almost nobody is talking about: microalgae. Backed by decades of scientific research but still a hidden gem in the Western wellness world, microalgae like spirulina and chlorella could be the missing link in your quest for better energy, mental clarity, and lasting vitality.


Why You’ve Never Heard of This Health Secret—But Absolutely Need To

with Catharine Arnston (Founder, Energybits)


Forget the idea of “pond scum”—Catharine breaks down the science, safety, and powerful benefits of microalgae for women, particularly those experiencing hormonal shifts and menopause. She shares why spirulina and chlorella are taking Asia (and pro sports teams!) by storm, and how they fill major nutritional gaps while supporting your body’s natural detox.


Whether you’re battling brain fog, fatigue, gut health struggles, or want to protect your aging mitochondria for maximum longevity, this episode answers the questions you never knew to ask—plus, how you can feel the effects of algae for yourself in just 20 minutes.


“This is not a supplement—it’s a superfood. And it can be a game-changer for women’s health, hormones, and brain.” – Catharine Arnston


Ready to learn:


• Why most supplements don’t measure up to microalgae

• The powerful role of superoxide dismutase and chlorophyll in aging and menopause

• What to actually expect when you start taking spirulina and chlorella (hint: energy, focus, and more)

• How Catharine reversed chronic symptoms in her own family through nutrition

• Why algae is endorsed by global health leaders for protein and detox—yet barely known in the U.S.
