Using Algae for Detox, Mitochondrial Health and Longevity with Dr. Catharine Arnston

Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Dr. Catharine Arnston explain how spirulina and chlorella support mitochondrial health, boost cellular energy, and fill nutritional gaps. You’ll learn why these algae are more than supplements—they’re essential for detox and overall cellular function.

Discover how chlorella pulls heavy metals, pesticides, mold, and other toxins from your cells, freeing up space so vital nutrients can be absorbed. Dr. Arnston breaks down how this process protects your body from chronic inflammation and supports long-term health.

Find out how spirulina’s unique antioxidants protect mitochondria from free radical damage, enhance focus, and promote longevity. You’ll hear how algae nourishes, energizes, and helps your body repair at the cellular level.
