About My Guest Catharine Arnston

Founder & CEO of ENERGYbits® Inc. Algae Nutrition Expert Catharine Arnston is an expert in algae nutrition, a wellness thought leader, an experienced entrepreneur, and a sought-after speaker. Catharine has a PhD, MBA, BA Hons, and is a board-certified health coach. Catharine's journey into the fascinating world of algae began in 2008 when her younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would improve her healing. Catharine left her 25- year corporate career to help her sister identify which foods were alkaline and this led her to algae - the most alkaline, chlorophyll-rich, high-protein, nutrient-dense food in the world. When Catharine learned that algae's vast healing properties were documented in tens of thousands of scientific studies but that none of these studies or benefits were known outside of Asia, she knew she needed to do something. And so ENERGYbits® was born. Catharine has spent the last fifteen years researching algae, writing papers, giving presentations, lecturing at conferences, and speaking on 300+ podcasts to explain the benefits of algae. To do this, she read thousands of scientific papers that detailed, validated, and confirmed algae's nutritional, health, longevity, and global benefits. Remarkably none of these findings are known by consumers. It is Catharine's vision and passion to change this and her PhD in natural health has given her the scientific fluency that allows her to explain algae with such simplicity and clarity, it quickly becomes obvious why algae is something we all urgently need. Catharine's passion for algae is contagious, inspiring and thought-provoking. Her efforts have led to algae being better understood by educators, consumers, doctors, and wellness practitioners. Catharine's extensive knowledge and playful personality is both entertaining and educating and her speaking style leaves audiences informed, uplifted, and hopeful.

MY PARTNERS:

One of the things I’ve been working on improving is my sleep. Sleep is extremely important for many different functions in the body, yet sometimes we can have trouble falling or staying asleep. That’s why, I’ve not only ensured my sleep hygiene practice is supportive, I have a herbal ally that I have by my bedside at night in case I wake up and am having trouble falling back to sleep. And that my friends is WishGarden Herbs Sleepy Nights which includes passionflower, skullcap and hops. It helps calm my system and helps me fall back to sleep if I wake.

 

Crafted for rapid absorption, WishGarden’s remedies provide swift and potent benefits that you’ll feel in minutes. With no fillers, gums, binders, or sugars, they harness the full strength of botanicals in their purest and most effective form. 

 

I add a few pumps of Sleepy Nights to my water and keep it by my bedside. They also have a wide array of other amazing herbal allies to help with mood, women's hormones and MUCH more.
