Beschreibung

Algae is often overlooked, but it may be one of the most powerful tools for supporting energy, detoxification, and cellular health. In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with Catharine Arnston, PhD, founder of ENERGYbits, to unpack the science behind spirulina and chlorella and why these ancient organisms are gaining attention in modern health. They explore how algae supports mitochondrial function, reduces oxidative stress through compounds like superoxide dismutase (SOD), and helps the body manage toxins and nutrient deficiencies. Catharine also explains the key differences between spirulina and chlorella, how each impacts the body, and how to incorporate algae into a daily routine for sustained energy, metabolic resilience, and long-term wellness. Catharine Arnston, PhD, is the Founder, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits, a premium algae nutrition company. After a 25-year corporate career, she pivoted into health and wellness following her sister’s breast cancer diagnosis, which led her to discover the powerful benefits of algae. Now a Board-Certified Health Coach with a PhD in Natural Health, Catharine has spent nearly two decades researching spirulina and chlorella and their impact on mitochondrial health, oxidative stress, and longevity. She is a leading voice in algae nutrition and a frequent guest on top health podcasts.

Episode The Root Cause of Pain Most Treatments Miss Cover

The Root Cause of Pain Most Treatments Miss

What if chronic pain isn’t caused by aging—but by tissues that never fully healed? In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with osteopathic physician Dr. David Nebbeling to explore how osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM), prolotherapy, neurotherapy, and regenerative medicine help the body repair itself instead of simply masking symptoms. They discuss why structure and function are inseparable, how scars and the nervous system can become hidden pain generators, and why many patients continue to hurt even after surgery or injections. From ligament healing to platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cells, and the philosophy behind osteopathic medicine, this conversation highlights a truly root-cause approach to pain and recovery.  Dr. David Nebbeling, DO, is a pioneering osteopathic physician and the founder of Advanced Osteopathic Health in Lansing, Michigan. With nearly four decades of clinical experience, he has dedicated his career to helping patients move beyond symptom management by addressing the root causes of chronic pain. Combining osteopathic manipulative medicine, prolotherapy, neurotherapy, ozone therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and regenerative medicine, Dr. Nebbeling specializes in restoring structural integrity and supporting the body's innate healing capacity. He is also an educator, speaker, and longtime mentor in regenerative medicine and osteopathic principles.

Episode Why Progesterone Is The Most Overlooked Hormone In Women’s Health Cover

Why Progesterone Is The Most Overlooked Hormone In Women’s Health

When most people think about hormone balance, they think about estrogen. But according to pharmacist and hormone expert Carol Petersen, progesterone may be the hormone women need most—and the one most often overlooked. In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with Carol to discuss the critical role progesterone plays in perimenopause, menopause, PMS, heavy menstrual bleeding, fertility, sleep, mood, and nervous system health. They explore why progesterone deficiency often begins long before menopause, how chronic stress impacts hormone production, and why many women are being undertreated or improperly balanced with hormone therapy. This conversation offers a fresh perspective on bioidentical hormones and what true hormone balance really looks like. Carol Petersen, RPh, CNP, is a compounding pharmacist, certified nutritional practitioner, and founder of The Wellness by Design Project. With more than three decades of experience specializing in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, Carol has become a respected voice in women’s health and personalized medicine. Through education, coaching, writing, and clinical consultation, she helps women better understand hormone balance, navigate perimenopause and menopause, and make informed decisions about their health.
