NUTRITION: How Algae Can Heal Your Body, All About Spirulina and Chlorella with Catharine Arnston
Curious about how to heal your body naturally? Listen up for this episode is all about algae, specifically chlorella and spirulina! The two powerhouses have more amino acids, nutrients and minerals than most food. Guest BioCatharine Arnston is the Founder/CEO/Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits® and an expert in algae for wellness, nutrition, beauty, biohacking and longevity. She is a nationally recognized thought-leader, seasoned corporate executive, experienced entrepreneur, and sought-after speaker. Catharine has an MBA, BA Hons and Certificate in Health Coaching.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 which led her to discovering 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 algae’s benefits were known outside of Asia, she knew she needed to do something. And so ENERGYbits® was born.Guest Links energybits.com @energybits@beautybitsUse Code: BHP for 20% off!Episode Links and ResourcesFollow me on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3hj9jt1Follow the show on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3JWAqpXSubscribe to The Better Health Podcast here: https://bit.ly/3Hu0ffG🧬 Get your Genetics Tested: https://bit.ly/3k4GIc4 ✏️Take the genetic motivator quiz: https://bit.ly/3IjxjsE

NUTRITION: A Journey From An Unhealthy Relationship with Food to Insta Famous Food Blog Lovely Delites, Hannah Kling
Are you or have you gone through an unhealthy relationship with food? Do you feel like it is hard to eat healthy while still being able to eat delicious food? Then listen up because Hannah has gone through just that and is now empowering others to overcome and enjoy life through food.

I started my account about 3.5 years ago as a creative outlet for me as a way to share recipes that I loved and adored but made with simpler and healthier ingredients. I had just quit my dream of pursuing a career in modeling and was trying to navigate what a healthy relationship with food looked like for me. In order to book jobs in the modeling industry, I was instructed by agents that I needed to lose a lot of weight, which I did. But in turn I developed a really unhealthy and restrictive relationship with food. When I started my account I was fully vegan because it was a way for me to restrict the foods that I loved, I thought the less that I was allowed to eat then the more weight I would lose. For the first two years working on Lovely Delites I shared full vegan and gluten-free recipes even though behind the scenes, I was working with lifting all restrictions on my diet. Since then, I have started to share non-vegan recipes too, however my page still remains with an emphasis on vegan and gluten-free recipes. This is because cooking this way makes me feel good and also it's very inclusive for anyone and any diet. Even if you are not v/gf you can still enjoy these types of recipes. Since I've adapted into more of a flexitarian diet, I have fully healed my relationship with food and now I share online with my audience that you can also still include your favorite foods into your diet and still live a healthy and balanced lifestyle. I no longer restrict anything, I honor my cravings and I am the healthiest I have ever been in my life. My goal is to hopefully inspire anyone who may be dealing with a restrictive diet that it's okay, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that you can truly have both.
