Algae for lunch to live longer? | Catharine Arnston
04/14/24 • 50 min
Could the regular consumption of algae help us age better and live healthier lives?
Catherine Arnston, founder and CEO of EnergyBits, is on a mission to introduce algae to everyday diets for health and longevity. Touted for its potent healing and nourishing properties, algae, particularly spirulina and chlorella, have garnered support from organizations like the United Nations and NASA for their dense nutritional profiles and potential in combating world hunger.
In this interview with Peter Bowes, Arnston focusses on the apparent benefits for mitochondrial health — a key factor in energy production and aging. Highlighting the ease of incorporating algae into daily routines through tablets, she believes it to be a simple yet effective tool to extend healthspan - the number of years that we enjoy the best of health.

Harnessing the power of placebo | Brandy Gillmore
Brandy Gillmore went from being wheelchair-bound, on morphine, and given no hope by doctors, to a full recovery and an active life. It is a remarkable turnaround in fortunes - following two serious accidents and years of searching for a solution.
Now, the former network engineer is telling her story in a new book, Master Your Mind and Energy to Heal Your Body. Gillmore offers compelling evidence on the impact of an optimistic mindset and demonstrates the potential of the mind to overcome physical limitations and chronic pain.
In this interview we dissect the placebo, a sham medical treatment that sometimes results in patients feeling better, even though they have not received a drug or form of treatment that is known to induce healing. It was a deep dive into the placebo effect that launched Gillmore's journey to recovery and led her to challenge the boundaries of traditional medicine. She now helps others facing similar health struggles.

Topics include:
- Searching for Solutions: Despite her prognosis, Gillmore continued to explore alternative methods, seeking further opinions and alternative treatments, including a clinical trial which ultimately fell through.
- Placebo Effect: The placebo effect intrigued Gillmore because it highlighted the potential of fake treatments to induce real healing responses.
- Mind-Body Connection: How stress can manifest as physical ailments.
- Healing Journey: How the feeling of optimism can speed up healing.
- Addressing Skepticism: Doubts about mind-body healing.
- Current Work: Helping others to leverage their mind to promote healing.
- Sleep and Mindset: The correlation between mindset and sleep quality — an important factor in overall longevity health.
