First, we challenge the myths around trendy “superfoods” and reveal why algae, particularly spirulina and chlorella, reign supreme for mitochondrial health and cellular energy. Catharine shares her 15 years of research on algae, explaining how it protects your cells, enhances brain function, and even supports cancer prevention. 

Next, we explore cutting-edge science on how algae supercharge mitochondrial performance, with Catharine revealing new clinical trial data that shows a 20% boost in mitochondrial function in just seven days. 

Finally, we break down the real-life impacts—improved brainpower, glowing skin, and detoxified cells—showing how this powerhouse algae can revolutionize the way you think about your health. This episode will change the way you approach superfoods and biohacking forever.
