Is it possible that the most powerful longevity hack on the planet has been hiding in plain sight?
In this episode of How to Stay Human, Tori sits down with Catherine Arnston, founder and CEO of ENERGYbits, to talk about the science and soul behind spirulina and chlorella—two of the most nutrient-dense algae on Earth.
What starts as a conversation about supplements quickly turns into a masterclass in cellular energy, detoxification, brain health, and the future of aging.
Catherine breaks down how algae supports mitochondrial health, how it’s been used for decades by NASA and the UN, and why your brain, gut, skin, and hormones need this microalgae more than ever.
This isn’t just another wellness trend. This is ancient wisdom backed by modern science—and it could be the simplest, most effective way to nourish your body in a world that’s moving faster than your nervous system can handle.
