1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,240 What's going on ladies and gents, Robert Sykes, Keto, 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,520 savage.com. And today I have special guest 3 00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:18,280 Catherine Arnston on the line. She is the founder, CEO, 4 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,600 scientific research specialist and pretty much everything with 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,400 regard to energy bits. So she's going to dive in deep 6 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,640 with regard to spirulina, chlorella, algae in general. 7 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,870 How are you, Catherine? Awesome. 8 00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:34,790 I'm loaded with algae so how else could I be Now this is good 9 00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:37,350 I've I'm excited to dive into this because this is an area 10 00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:40,350 that I have very little experience and expertise so 11 00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:44,350 basically none. So to treat me as such and and 12 00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:47,190 just totally enlighten me and the listeners and and give us 13 00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:50,790 kind of a good overview of what algae is, how it can be used and 14 00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:53,270 its benefits in the keto space and beyond. 15 00:00:53,850 --> 00:01:00,610 OK, well that's I could talk for days on that but I won't but 16 00:01:00,850 --> 00:01:03,490 thank you for giving me this opportunity and and there is no 17 00:01:03,490 --> 00:01:06,130 shame about not knowing about algae because. 18 00:01:06,570 --> 00:01:12,330 You are with the majority of the world outside of Asia and that's 19 00:01:12,330 --> 00:01:15,850 why I exist. And I'll just give you a quick 20 00:01:15,850 --> 00:01:18,170 backdrop. I didn't plan to be an algae 21 00:01:18,170 --> 00:01:20,930 expert, trust me. I was following a traditional 22 00:01:21,410 --> 00:01:23,330 corporate career. I had an MB, A doing 23 00:01:23,330 --> 00:01:25,050 international business, blah blah blah. 24 00:01:25,330 --> 00:01:28,770 And then my younger sister up in Canada developed breast cancer 25 00:01:28,770 --> 00:01:32,570 and her oncologist who the cancer doctor, told her she 26 00:01:32,570 --> 00:01:34,690 needed to change her diet to an alkaline diet because it would 27 00:01:34,690 --> 00:01:36,330 help her heal. They didn't tell her what it 28 00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:37,410 was. Or why it would work. 29 00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:40,290 And she's my baby sister. So I said I have no idea what it 30 00:01:40,290 --> 00:01:42,610 is either, but we'll figure this out together. 31 00:01:42,810 --> 00:01:45,810 And I did research for her and found that it's basically a 32 00:01:45,810 --> 00:01:49,650 plant based diet because of the phytonutrients and the 33 00:01:49,650 --> 00:01:51,330 chlorophyll that builds your immune system. 34 00:01:51,770 --> 00:01:55,370 So she did go through her her chemo, she did change her diet. 35 00:01:55,370 --> 00:01:58,130 She completely healed. 10 years later, she's still cancer free. 36 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,960 Meanwhile, I started reading more about plant based 37 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,920 nutrition, found out how powerful it was and well 38 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,720 documented and thought that this knowledge needed to get out to 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,800 America. So I thought, heck, I guess I'll 40 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,800 I'll do what I can and gave up my career corporate career. 41 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,880 Went back to school, study nutrition and try to get people 42 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,800 to eat more greens, but found out they're either on a keto 43 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,680 diet so they didn't want to eat greens or they don't like the 44 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,680 flavor or it's too much work. So I thought, well, gosh, if I 45 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,160 can't get people to be healthier with greens. 46 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,920 I got to find something that will give them all the greens 47 00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:34,240 that they need without the work. That's keto. 48 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,880 And that led me down a rabbit hole. 49 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,640 And I thought where I found algae and when I discovered 50 00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:42,000 algae and that scientific profile and that it was 51 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,320 ketogenic and paleo and vegan and the most nutrient dense food 52 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,480 in the world and the highest concentration of protein in the 53 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,200 world. And endorsed by the United 54 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,400 Nations, NASA, and just about everybody else. 55 00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:57,430 But unknown outside of Asia, I decided that was nine years ago. 56 00:02:57,430 --> 00:03:00,870 I would devote the rest of my life to helping people 57 00:03:00,870 --> 00:03:04,870 understand the power of this wonderful nutrient, this food. 58 00:03:04,870 --> 00:03:09,350 It's a gorgeous crop and because it can, it will change lives and 59 00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:12,150 it will change our our world because it's the most eco 60 00:03:12,150 --> 00:03:14,590 friendly, sustainable crop in the world as well. 61 00:03:14,590 --> 00:03:20,350 So with that being the backdrop, and I've now spent nine years 62 00:03:20,350 --> 00:03:22,390 researching algae, I will apologize. 63 00:03:22,830 --> 00:03:25,070 Upfront to you and your listeners for being 64 00:03:25,470 --> 00:03:29,030 extraordinarily passionate about algae, because when you know as 65 00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:33,350 much about something that's so good as I do, you are eager to 66 00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:35,910 share it. It's like I've got this this. 67 00:03:36,580 --> 00:03:41,620 I feel like the genie with the the, you know, the little gizmo 68 00:03:41,620 --> 00:03:43,620 that you can rub and all your wishes will come true. 69 00:03:43,980 --> 00:03:46,780 And inside it is algae, and I want everybody's wishes to come 70 00:03:46,780 --> 00:03:48,140 true. If I could just get them to take 71 00:03:48,140 --> 00:03:49,980 the algae, it would probably happen. 72 00:03:50,020 --> 00:03:51,060 No. I love it and love it a. 73 00:03:51,060 --> 00:03:55,540 Little history about algae, and this is also what makes me so 74 00:03:55,540 --> 00:03:59,580 determined to get the knowledge of this little plant out to the 75 00:03:59,580 --> 00:04:03,060 world, is that most people probably do not realize that 76 00:04:03,060 --> 00:04:05,940 algae was the first life on earth. 77 00:04:06,450 --> 00:04:11,050 Not just the first plant, the first life on Earth 4 billion 78 00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:15,330 years ago, before algae, Earth was just gas and water. 79 00:04:15,450 --> 00:04:19,930 I have no idea why algae, and it was spirulina in particular. 80 00:04:19,930 --> 00:04:22,770 It's a single cell Organism and frankly it's a bacteria and 81 00:04:22,770 --> 00:04:23,930 we'll talk about that in a minute. 82 00:04:25,050 --> 00:04:28,610 It started growing and algae releases oxygen while it's 83 00:04:28,610 --> 00:04:32,610 growing, and in fact almost 90% of all oxygen on Earth even to 84 00:04:32,610 --> 00:04:35,370 this day. Is provided by algae. 85 00:04:35,370 --> 00:04:37,490 Algae in the wall, in the oceans, in the lakes. 86 00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:40,410 That is what allows us to to breathe. 87 00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:43,730 And so after about a billion years of spirulina growing and 88 00:04:43,730 --> 00:04:47,330 they have fossils to prove the, you know that carbon data to 89 00:04:47,450 --> 00:04:51,170 almost 4 billion years ago, there was enough oxygen on Earth 90 00:04:51,530 --> 00:04:54,770 that other plant life could take take form. 91 00:04:55,050 --> 00:04:59,010 And that's how life on earth started nurturing itself. 92 00:04:59,330 --> 00:05:02,890 So I tell people there's got to be some things magical. 93 00:05:03,490 --> 00:05:08,210 That was the first living form on Earth and by the way has 94 00:05:08,250 --> 00:05:12,890 outlived everybody. Ice ages, stone ages and it's 95 00:05:12,890 --> 00:05:16,530 still here. So that is also very compelling 96 00:05:16,530 --> 00:05:20,170 to me as someone who's quite interested in the history of the 97 00:05:20,170 --> 00:05:22,410 world and I hope your listeners feel as well. 98 00:05:22,770 --> 00:05:27,130 So let me there's probably about 25,000 strains of algae. 99 00:05:27,130 --> 00:05:31,890 They grow everywhere as I mentioned, but about. 99.999% of 100 00:05:31,890 --> 00:05:34,930 them are poisonous and you certainly do not want to stick 101 00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:38,250 your hand in your local swimming pool or pond and scoop up a 102 00:05:38,250 --> 00:05:40,610 bunch of algae because I promise you it will make you sick. 103 00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:44,130 And algae absorbs whatever it is in the water, so if it's in a 104 00:05:44,130 --> 00:05:49,650 stagnant pool, it's absorbing whatever toxins and are in 105 00:05:49,650 --> 00:05:52,970 there. So the algae that has grown for 106 00:05:53,450 --> 00:05:58,360 consumption is a crop. That is no different than kale 107 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,960 or broccoli and it's your listeners will find this 108 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,000 interesting to know that it's not grown in the ocean. 109 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,800 The the algae that you consume in from us or from other 110 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,480 companies is a crop that's grown in fresh water. 111 00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:17,160 It's related to seaweed, which is from the ocean, but algae is 112 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,160 grown in fresh water and we grow ours in. 113 00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:22,630 Are in Taiwan, which is world renowned. 114 00:06:22,630 --> 00:06:25,390 We're having the highest constant, highest quality algae 115 00:06:25,750 --> 00:06:29,870 and we grow ours outdoors because I feel that's the that 116 00:06:29,870 --> 00:06:33,710 was the original way Mother Nature had it and it's grown in 117 00:06:33,790 --> 00:06:37,110 triple filled ours is grown in triple filtered spring mountain 118 00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:39,270 water. So again algae absorbed 119 00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:42,710 whatever's in the water. So you need a very clean source 120 00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:45,350 of water to ensure that you've got really high quality algae. 121 00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:48,680 So the two. Crops, algae, crops that are 122 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,480 grown for consumption are spirulina and chlorella, and 123 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,560 some people have heard the expression blue-green algae, 124 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,240 Well that's spirulina and Chlorella is a green algae. 125 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,120 They think of, you know you have fruit and within the fruit 126 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,960 category you have bananas and oranges and apples or 127 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,600 vegetables. You have within the category 128 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,920 vegetables you have, you know, bean sprouts and kale. 129 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,280 Well, within algae as a category you have. 130 00:07:15,930 --> 00:07:19,010 Chlorella and spirulina. So let's talk about the 131 00:07:19,010 --> 00:07:21,970 differences between the two of them and what they do in your 132 00:07:21,970 --> 00:07:23,810 body. And then we can later on talk 133 00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:26,970 about why they're important for either sports or a ketogenic 134 00:07:26,970 --> 00:07:30,530 diet or for health benefits. So spirulina, as I mentioned, 135 00:07:30,730 --> 00:07:33,730 was the very first plant life on Earth and it is what's called a 136 00:07:33,730 --> 00:07:36,570 blue-green algae. And the reason why it's called a 137 00:07:36,570 --> 00:07:39,650 blue-green algae is because it has two pigments in it. 138 00:07:40,090 --> 00:07:43,090 One pigment is called phygocyanin and it has certain 139 00:07:43,090 --> 00:07:45,450 healing properties and the other pigment which most people will 140 00:07:45,450 --> 00:07:49,970 be familiar with is chlorophyll. Now spirulina technically is a 141 00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:52,210 bacteria. Up until a few years ago, I 142 00:07:52,210 --> 00:07:54,090 hesitated to tell people this because. 143 00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:57,260 Up until a few years ago, people were quite concerned about 144 00:07:57,260 --> 00:07:58,940 bacteria. And now, thank goodness, 145 00:07:58,940 --> 00:08:02,860 everyone realizes that we actually have more bacteria in 146 00:08:02,860 --> 00:08:06,260 our bodies and we do cells. And the bacteria, if you have 147 00:08:06,260 --> 00:08:09,940 good bacteria, they are almost more important to your health 148 00:08:09,940 --> 00:08:12,140 than even your own cellular structure because they 149 00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:16,620 contribute to the health of your immune system to digestion. 150 00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:20,740 So I'm quite proud now to tell people that spirolina is a 151 00:08:20,740 --> 00:08:24,420 bacteria, and what that means is the reason why that's important. 152 00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:27,580 Is a couple of reasons. First of all, it does not. 153 00:08:27,580 --> 00:08:32,620 Spirulina does not have a cellulose wall, so it gets 154 00:08:32,620 --> 00:08:35,740 absorbed into your bloodstream almost instantly because there's 155 00:08:35,740 --> 00:08:37,500 nothing for your body to break down. 156 00:08:38,340 --> 00:08:41,980 The other really interesting thing about spirulina is that it 157 00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:45,260 has the highest concentration of protein in the world, all of 158 00:08:45,260 --> 00:08:47,460 which are already in amino acid form. 159 00:08:47,620 --> 00:08:51,260 So again, nothing for your body to break down when you eat. 160 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,720 Animal protein, it can take up to three days for your body to 161 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,760 break that down into amino acids, and if you are missing 162 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,400 all some factors and cofactors, you could well end up only 163 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,200 absorbing, you know, 10% of that. 164 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,080 And so all of that is done, doesn't all, all of the protein 165 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,000 is what's called bioavailable because there's nothing for your 166 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,840 body to have to break down. So spirulina. 167 00:09:17,550 --> 00:09:21,350 Because it has this protein that has all these gorgeous amino 168 00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:25,270 acids, and it's loaded with vitamin B, which of course 169 00:09:25,470 --> 00:09:30,950 converts glucose to energy. It gives you and your body 170 00:09:30,950 --> 00:09:33,710 energy naturally in a very steady form. 171 00:09:34,590 --> 00:09:37,950 It's also loaded with iron, which carries oxygen, so you 172 00:09:37,950 --> 00:09:41,030 have energy. It's It's also loaded with 173 00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:44,830 essential fatty acids, both the Omega threes and something 174 00:09:44,830 --> 00:09:49,270 called GLA, which is. Typically an omega-3 but behaves 175 00:09:49,270 --> 00:09:52,670 like an Omega or technically Omega 6 behaves like an omega-3 176 00:09:52,670 --> 00:09:55,790 because it reduces inflammation and it's also loaded with 177 00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:59,590 antioxidants. So spirulina is known as being 178 00:09:59,590 --> 00:10:02,910 an energizing algae. And now it's not energizing like 179 00:10:02,910 --> 00:10:06,590 sugar or caffeine. You don't get any sugar shakes. 180 00:10:07,870 --> 00:10:10,990 It's our first customers actually were endurance 181 00:10:10,990 --> 00:10:15,090 athletes, Olympic athletes. Run marathon runners because it 182 00:10:15,090 --> 00:10:18,650 gave them steady energy and didn't upset their stomach like 183 00:10:18,650 --> 00:10:23,330 all those sugary gels did. And it's certainly not you 184 00:10:23,330 --> 00:10:25,010 don't. If you're a keto athlete, you 185 00:10:25,010 --> 00:10:26,650 don't want to be taking those anyway. 186 00:10:26,650 --> 00:10:33,610 So it's a terrific food source for having energy at work, 187 00:10:34,530 --> 00:10:38,490 energy before your workout. We have surgeons, truck drivers. 188 00:10:38,490 --> 00:10:41,810 It just improves your focus. We have parents whose children 189 00:10:41,810 --> 00:10:45,570 don't have a DHD&E. Any longer, and it's the reasons 190 00:10:45,570 --> 00:10:48,890 why it works so well, are all just based on the nutrient 191 00:10:48,890 --> 00:10:52,650 profile of spirulina. There are no additives, no 192 00:10:52,650 --> 00:10:55,850 caffeine, no sugars, no chemicals, no toxins, nothing. 193 00:10:56,130 --> 00:11:05,530 It is just clean, pristine keto 0 carb nutrition 1 ingredient, 194 00:11:05,930 --> 00:11:09,570 40 vitamins and minerals 64% protein, which is 3 times the 195 00:11:09,570 --> 00:11:11,450 amount in in animal protein. So. 196 00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:16,420 It is a slam dunk when you want some energy or you want your 197 00:11:16,420 --> 00:11:19,540 hunger satisfied. The only downside to spirulina 198 00:11:19,740 --> 00:11:22,420 is probably that it doesn't taste very good. 199 00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:26,740 Yeah, you'll have a swallowing habit though, which makes it 200 00:11:26,740 --> 00:11:28,420 nice. But you know, my algae are like 201 00:11:28,420 --> 00:11:32,100 my children to me. And so, you know, so it has, you 202 00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:35,380 know, it makes it gives a personality that you that it's 203 00:11:35,380 --> 00:11:39,820 got this sort of side to it. I personally love to chew mine 204 00:11:39,820 --> 00:11:43,370 because I love. This the feeling of eating 205 00:11:43,370 --> 00:11:46,530 something, and I eat them with almonds and sea salt, which 206 00:11:46,770 --> 00:11:50,410 helps improve the flavor. And I remind people that there's 207 00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:53,610 another product that I can't, you know, that a lot of people 208 00:11:53,610 --> 00:11:55,570 take. I don't endorse it at all. 209 00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:58,850 It's Red Bowl and it's not good for you at all. 210 00:11:58,850 --> 00:12:01,690 It's got all sorts of terrible chemicals in it, and people 211 00:12:01,690 --> 00:12:04,610 don't like that flavor either, but they use it and so. 212 00:12:05,060 --> 00:12:07,700 You would get better energy from spirulina. 213 00:12:08,260 --> 00:12:10,700 Again, it's a flavor that you would probably need to get 214 00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:13,940 adjusted to, but if you do not like the flavor, you can grind 215 00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:17,100 it up and put it into smoothie, or you can just swallow it. 216 00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:20,980 We made them very, very tiny. So that's why we call them bits, 217 00:12:20,980 --> 00:12:22,180 because we think they're so cute. 218 00:12:22,540 --> 00:12:25,260 They're bits of food, but you can swallow them and you get 219 00:12:25,260 --> 00:12:27,580 exactly the same benefits as if you swallow them. 220 00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:33,100 So Spirulina blue-green algae generally used for either energy 221 00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:34,740 satisfying your hunger. Intermittent. 222 00:12:35,020 --> 00:12:37,500 Fasting, it's fantastic for intermittent fasting because it 223 00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:41,220 does not decrease your ketones or increase your glucose. 224 00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:44,180 It's great if you're diabetic. Again it lowers your glucose if 225 00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:48,020 you're diabetic. And also we we have a very, it's 226 00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:53,460 a terrific preworkout fuel that's natural and not a single 227 00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:55,860 additive. And and again the tablets are 228 00:12:55,860 --> 00:12:58,860 very easy to travel with. We give you a little tin inside 229 00:12:58,860 --> 00:13:01,060 our bag so you can refill them and all that sort of. 230 00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:05,500 So it's it's been used for. Hundreds of years, quite 231 00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:10,020 honestly. But in in Mexico in the 1600s, 232 00:13:10,020 --> 00:13:14,180 the Mexicans were using it. It was discovered by the Dutch 233 00:13:15,140 --> 00:13:17,860 chemist in the late 1800s to have the highest concentration 234 00:13:17,860 --> 00:13:18,700 of protein. So. 235 00:13:18,940 --> 00:13:21,420 So it is really amazing food crop. 236 00:13:21,940 --> 00:13:26,740 So that's spirulina. Now its sister is Chlorella. 237 00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:30,260 Chlorella developed about 100, about a billion years after 238 00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:33,510 Spirulina. And it is officially in the 239 00:13:33,510 --> 00:13:37,230 Plant Kingdom because it has a not only does it have a 240 00:13:37,230 --> 00:13:40,870 cellulose wall where spirulina does not, it has the hardest 241 00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:42,470 cellulose wall in the Plant Kingdom. 242 00:13:42,750 --> 00:13:45,910 So hard, in fact, that it has to be cracked at production. 243 00:13:46,350 --> 00:13:48,710 But and so it does take a little longer to get into your 244 00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:50,150 bloodstream. But here's one of the beautiful 245 00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:54,110 things about this remarkable the hard exterior cell wall. 246 00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:57,990 It attaches to toxins and chelates them out of your body 247 00:13:58,270 --> 00:14:01,350 like nothing else it's been used by. 248 00:14:01,670 --> 00:14:04,990 Biological dentist for decades for pulling out mercury when 249 00:14:04,990 --> 00:14:07,270 they take out people's ammograms. 250 00:14:07,510 --> 00:14:10,230 It's been used by Mercury Poisoning Association. 251 00:14:10,350 --> 00:14:13,430 It also pulls out radiation. It was used at Chernobyl. 252 00:14:15,070 --> 00:14:19,430 Fukushima Hiroshima because it's known as the only thing that 253 00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:21,870 pulls out radiation. It will pull out lead. 254 00:14:22,070 --> 00:14:24,470 It will pull out. Athletes love it because it 255 00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:27,510 pulls out lactic acid. So they use the spirulina as a 256 00:14:27,510 --> 00:14:30,430 preworkout and they use the chlorella as a post workout so 257 00:14:30,430 --> 00:14:31,950 your muscles aren't sore the next day. 258 00:14:32,630 --> 00:14:36,550 It also pulls out alcohol, so if you take it after you drink 259 00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:40,270 alcohol, whether it's beer, wine, spirits, you don't, you 260 00:14:40,270 --> 00:14:44,700 are sober in an hour and a half. And you will never have a 261 00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:47,300 hangover. So it's very it's known as a 262 00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:51,820 very powerful chelator, far better than activated charcoal. 263 00:14:52,060 --> 00:14:57,140 Activated charcoal pulls out all minerals in your body, all that, 264 00:14:57,140 --> 00:14:59,220 you know, it pulls toxins, but all minerals. 265 00:15:00,140 --> 00:15:04,060 Chlorella does not do that. Chlorella only pulls out toxins. 266 00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:07,060 And in fact it's loaded with 40 vitamins and minerals. 267 00:15:07,460 --> 00:15:10,220 So it it only it restores minerals. 268 00:15:10,580 --> 00:15:14,580 And does not take minerals out, it only pulls out toxins. 269 00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:17,540 I I call it intelligent food for two reasons. 270 00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:21,180 You have to be intelligent to take it and it knows what to do 271 00:15:21,180 --> 00:15:22,860 in your body. It's it's considered an 272 00:15:22,860 --> 00:15:25,220 adaptogen. So in addition to being longing 273 00:15:25,220 --> 00:15:28,060 to the plant Kingdom, well let me say one other thing, it does 274 00:15:28,060 --> 00:15:31,060 belong to the plant Kingdom, but it's not technically a plant. 275 00:15:31,420 --> 00:15:33,180 It's considered a seed vegetable. 276 00:15:33,180 --> 00:15:37,340 And the reason for that is chlorella and spirulina do not 277 00:15:37,340 --> 00:15:41,140 have any of the downsides. Of plant of plants, there's 278 00:15:41,140 --> 00:15:45,620 what's called antinutrients, phytic acid lectins that are 279 00:15:45,620 --> 00:15:49,820 found in a lot of plants that can cause damage to your stomach 280 00:15:49,820 --> 00:15:55,660 lining and lead to food allergies and inflammation, 281 00:15:55,940 --> 00:16:00,100 fatigue, and there are no lectins, there are no phyto, 282 00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:04,780 none of these, what I call antinutrients in either of the 283 00:16:04,860 --> 00:16:07,500 algae. So even though Chlorella does 284 00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:09,260 belong to the plant Kingdom, it's technically. 285 00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:12,580 We call a sea vegetable because it doesn't have any downsides, 286 00:16:12,580 --> 00:16:15,300 only upsides. A couple other really amazing 287 00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:17,780 things about Chlorella. Remember, spirulina has the 288 00:16:17,780 --> 00:16:21,300 highest protein in the world. Chlorella has the highest 289 00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:23,700 chlorophyll in the world, and most people know that 290 00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:27,060 chlorophyll is what makes your plants green, and that's why 291 00:16:27,060 --> 00:16:28,820 your mother's told you to eat your. 292 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,280 Veggies when you're young. So what does chlorophyll do? 293 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,840 Well, chlorophyll is a fat based pigment and the reason why this 294 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,680 is important is because anything that's fat based is going to 295 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,040 heal your cell walls. And we're all learning that, you 296 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,040 know, aging and health all starts in the cell, the cell 297 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,520 wall, the mitochondria. You need to do things that are 298 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,240 going to keep those mitochondria healthy and your your cell walls 299 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,160 nice and lubricant so that the nutrients can get in and the 300 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,800 toxins can get out. So, chlorella. 301 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,440 In addition to pulling out toxins because of the chi 302 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,240 chlorophyll, it builds your cells, it builds your immune 303 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,440 system, all those phytonutrients. 304 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,680 And in fact during World War One when the injured when they ran 305 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,280 out of blood transfusions for the injured, they would give 306 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,119 them liquid chlorophyll and they would heal just as fast as if 307 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,800 they'd had a blood transfusion. And if you know a lot of people 308 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,200 may not believe me, but then I invite you to look at the 309 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,390 cellular structure. Of chlorophyll, and you will 310 00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:32,190 find that is identical to the cellular structure of your 311 00:17:32,190 --> 00:17:36,070 hemoglobin, Absolutely identical X with one exception. 312 00:17:36,350 --> 00:17:39,670 In the centre of your hemoglobin is an iron atom and then the 313 00:17:39,670 --> 00:17:42,790 centre of. Chlorophyll is a magnesium atom. 314 00:17:43,070 --> 00:17:46,670 Now if that one atom wasn't there, our blood, our blood 315 00:17:46,670 --> 00:17:50,030 literally would be green. And the reason why that that 316 00:17:50,550 --> 00:17:53,430 iron atom is important because that's what carries oxygen in 317 00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:56,710 your blood and helps gives you an oxygen of course gives you 318 00:17:56,710 --> 00:17:58,950 energy. So you have to say to yourself, 319 00:17:58,950 --> 00:18:02,470 huh, if something is virtually identical to our blood 320 00:18:02,550 --> 00:18:05,670 hemoglobin structure, it's got to be something important about 321 00:18:05,670 --> 00:18:07,590 it. So you do need to have it in 322 00:18:07,590 --> 00:18:12,120 your. In your daily diet, and I know 323 00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:15,360 we'll circle back to the keto diet and very few people are 324 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,400 eating a lot of greens because they don't want the carbs. 325 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,200 But so you're you know you're cheating your body and your 326 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,560 longevity by depriving yourself of chlorophyll so you can get. 327 00:18:26,930 --> 00:18:28,850 Way more. You can have a room full of 328 00:18:29,130 --> 00:18:30,730 chlorophyll. It's, you know, you would have 329 00:18:30,730 --> 00:18:35,450 to eat a room full of kale to get the equivalent chlorophyll 330 00:18:35,450 --> 00:18:37,570 that might be in a couple servings of the chlorella. 331 00:18:37,570 --> 00:18:41,450 So it's very, again very efficient nutrition and 332 00:18:41,450 --> 00:18:43,290 ketogenic. So you're never coming out of 333 00:18:43,290 --> 00:18:45,540 ketosis. And still you're getting your 334 00:18:45,540 --> 00:18:48,460 chlorophyll met needs met. Chlorella just a couple other 335 00:18:48,460 --> 00:18:51,860 top notes of Chlorella has the highest concentration of RNA and 336 00:18:51,860 --> 00:18:55,300 DNA in the world. What that means is it helps as 337 00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:59,420 you age your DNA and RNA are damaged and so this helps them 338 00:18:59,420 --> 00:19:04,420 to grow back healthier. So that's very good news for 339 00:19:04,420 --> 00:19:09,940 those of us who are over 20 and also has as I mentioned very 340 00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:14,620 high amounts of of iron, so that boost your your oxygen and 341 00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:17,940 reduces fatigue. And there was something else 342 00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:21,260 that was going to say, Oh yes, the chlorophyll, it's very high 343 00:19:21,260 --> 00:19:24,300 in K2. Are are you familiar with K2? 344 00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:26,700 But the importance of K2? Yes, yes. 345 00:19:27,220 --> 00:19:30,580 So vitamin K2 is a relatively new vitamin they discovered at 346 00:19:30,580 --> 00:19:32,940 about 25 years. Ago, which I guess is new in the 347 00:19:32,940 --> 00:19:36,580 science world and it's so different from K1. 348 00:19:36,580 --> 00:19:39,540 People know that K1 is in green vegetables and helps your blood 349 00:19:39,540 --> 00:19:42,700 clot. What K2 does is it removes 350 00:19:43,060 --> 00:19:49,100 calcium from soft tissue like blood vessels, your skin organs, 351 00:19:49,140 --> 00:19:54,420 your brain and it moves it into your bones where calcium should 352 00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:57,900 belong. So in one fell swoop, it K2 will 353 00:19:57,900 --> 00:20:01,140 help reduce heart disease Alzheimer's. 354 00:20:02,730 --> 00:20:07,930 Kidney stones, wrinkles and help prevent osteoporosis because 355 00:20:08,250 --> 00:20:11,330 everyone's taking calcium and they're taking D3 to help 356 00:20:11,330 --> 00:20:14,800 absorption with calcium. But it's being absorbed in the 357 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,600 wrong places. And chlorella, both spirulina 358 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,280 and chlorella have K2, but Chlorella has twice the amount 359 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,960 of K2 in in it that spirulina does, and there's very few food 360 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,960 sources that have K2. They are. 361 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,280 It's really only it can only be found in grass fed animal 362 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,840 protein or a dish called nata which nobody in America eats. 363 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,600 And the reason why it's only in grass fed animal protein is that 364 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,440 animals have extra bacteria in their gut that allow them to 365 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:48,240 convert convert K1 into K2. So when we eat animal protein we 366 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,920 do get the K2 because it's already in the in the animal. 367 00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:56,200 But not everybody can afford grass fed animal protein and it 368 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,080 may be difficult to find and you still may not be able to eat 369 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,110 enough of it to get sufficient K2 into your diet. 370 00:21:02,110 --> 00:21:04,870 And there are K2 supplements now. 371 00:21:05,230 --> 00:21:09,830 But K2 has multiple different variations and all the 372 00:21:09,830 --> 00:21:14,790 supplements are made with something called MK47 which is 373 00:21:14,790 --> 00:21:18,990 an artificial it's made from I think fermented chickpeas and 374 00:21:18,990 --> 00:21:22,950 algae and animal fed protein has M4. 375 00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:28,390 And the reason why I I feel M4 is the better K2 is a couple of 376 00:21:28,390 --> 00:21:32,270 reasons. One is M4 is the only K2 version 377 00:21:32,270 --> 00:21:34,790 that can get into your brain your. 378 00:21:35,630 --> 00:21:41,290 So you know, brain health is obviously very important and if 379 00:21:41,690 --> 00:21:45,290 I am also just a believer in sort of the more natural sources 380 00:21:45,290 --> 00:21:48,730 for health and nutrition. So I'm really trying to get 381 00:21:48,730 --> 00:21:52,010 people to take what you know is more natural because if it comes 382 00:21:52,010 --> 00:21:54,610 from food, it has all the factors and cofactors so your 383 00:21:54,610 --> 00:21:56,890 body knows how to absorb it and what to do with it. 384 00:21:57,330 --> 00:22:01,880 So in summary, Florella is a Wellness algae, that's what we 385 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,600 call it recovery bits. Ours is recovery bits because it 386 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,160 helps you recover your health or recover from sports. 387 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,880 It's got the chlorophyll that builds your immune system, It 388 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,240 pulls out toxins. It's got the K2 to prevent heart 389 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,400 disease or osteoporosis. It's got the RNA&DNA that speeds 390 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,160 up your, you know, it keeps your RNA&DNA healthy and it has this 391 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,720 interesting thing. They didn't know what else to 392 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,400 call it. So they call it Chlorella growth 393 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,720 factor. Chlorella is the fastest growing 394 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,720 Organism in the world. If you've read anything about 395 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,520 alternative fuel, biofuel, they were always using Chlorella as 396 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,080 the material they were trying to trap the energy from when the 397 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,520 cells divide because it's the fastest growing Organism. 398 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,000 So what that means for you and your health is that when you 399 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,880 take Chlorella because you've got this RNA and DNA and all 400 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,080 these other wonderful nutrients, it helps your cells grow faster 401 00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,200 and so you heal from injury or surgery in in much less time 402 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,840 with thanks to all these wonderful nutrients in 403 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,160 Chlorella. It is, it is hands down to me I 404 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,400 believe the most important food frankly in the world. 405 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,400 I think it's even more important than spirulina because we're so 406 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:19,400 full of toxins in our world and and we're struggling to stay 407 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,840 ahead of, you know, eliminating them, the ones that have been 408 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,760 gathering in our bodies and trying to get rid of the ones on 409 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,520 a daily basis. So. 410 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,400 So I think Chlorella is very powerful. 411 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,320 Spirulina has all that wonderful protein, but the Chlorella is 412 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,880 very, very detoxifying. So those are the 2 main algae 413 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,960 that are grown for consumption purposes. 414 00:23:44,380 --> 00:23:49,940 And they are, if you grow them carefully like we do, I the 415 00:23:49,940 --> 00:23:55,540 safest, purest, nutrient dense food, bar none in the world. 416 00:23:55,900 --> 00:24:00,980 And the irony is, they're a multibillion dollar industry in 417 00:24:00,980 --> 00:24:06,660 Asia and they're all it's all grown in Asia, India, Taiwan, 418 00:24:06,860 --> 00:24:09,980 Japan, China. Don't ever get any from China 419 00:24:09,980 --> 00:24:12,840 because you can't trust the labeling there or even the 420 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:18,080 purity and the quality. So I was thrilled to see that in 421 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,200 January of this year, the White House and Senate, Congress, 422 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:27,760 everybody, they sign into into being the very first algae 423 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,040 agricultural act as part of the farm bill because they're 424 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,800 realizing that algae is the most nutrient dense food in the world 425 00:24:37,070 --> 00:24:39,710 is most cost efficient. You can, you know when you grow 426 00:24:39,710 --> 00:24:42,230 corn or wheat, you get one crop a year, right? 427 00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:44,750 And and it's mono cropping and you're killing the soil and it's 428 00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:47,310 not good for the planet. It's not gluten's not good for 429 00:24:47,310 --> 00:24:50,310 us anyway. So but farmers get lots of 430 00:24:50,310 --> 00:24:53,110 subsidies to grow this stuff. So it's bad for everybody. 431 00:24:53,590 --> 00:24:57,270 And yet with algae, because it takes a month to grow, you can 432 00:24:57,270 --> 00:25:00,550 have 10 or 11 crops a year, not just one. 433 00:25:00,950 --> 00:25:07,210 And since it grows in water, it can be grown in in arable areas. 434 00:25:07,210 --> 00:25:11,010 So you can grow it in a desert and it uses a tenth of the land 435 00:25:11,010 --> 00:25:13,690 to get 100 times more protein and it uses a fifth of the 436 00:25:13,690 --> 00:25:17,000 water. So they've realized it's eco 437 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,280 friendly, sustainable, nutrient dense and it needs to be grown 438 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,880 in America. So I'm so excited about that 439 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,040 because now LG farmers will start to get some respect and so 440 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,240 maybe some money to to grow it because it needs we need it here 441 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,040 in America, we need it everywhere in the world. 442 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,880 I don't know. You probably aren't aware of 443 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,760 this, but back in the 70s, nineteen 74, the United Nations 444 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,960 had a global conference on on spirulina and declared it then 445 00:25:44,350 --> 00:25:48,390 as the answer to world hunger because of its high protein 446 00:25:48,710 --> 00:25:52,350 concentration. So there's so much science about 447 00:25:52,350 --> 00:25:54,350 allergy. There's almost 100,000 studies 448 00:25:54,350 --> 00:25:56,590 on the health benefits. So it's all evidence based. 449 00:25:56,990 --> 00:26:00,590 But the problem is the knowledge and all this science has been 450 00:26:00,590 --> 00:26:04,710 stuck in the scientific world and it hasn't made its way out 451 00:26:04,710 --> 00:26:07,590 to consumers or practitioners or athletes. 452 00:26:07,990 --> 00:26:10,590 And so that's basically what I've done. 453 00:26:10,590 --> 00:26:14,430 We've made sure our quality is, is is unquestionable and we do a 454 00:26:14,430 --> 00:26:17,430 third party lab test here to be sure that doctors can feel 455 00:26:17,430 --> 00:26:19,630 confident when they recommend it to their patients. 456 00:26:19,630 --> 00:26:23,790 But but I pride myself on going through the science, digging 457 00:26:23,790 --> 00:26:26,990 through, trying to connect the dots for people and making it 458 00:26:27,030 --> 00:26:30,070 easier for them to understand what this stuff is. 459 00:26:30,070 --> 00:26:33,830 It's not pond scum. It's a nutritional rock star. 460 00:26:33,830 --> 00:26:36,990 And the good news about chlorella, Remember I mentioned 461 00:26:36,990 --> 00:26:39,520 spirulina is a little tough flavor to get to. 462 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,560 To around. Chlorella tastes delicious. 463 00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:46,600 It tastes more like a soy nut. It's very dry and when you put 464 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:51,040 sea salt on it or you mix it with almonds or macadamia nuts, 465 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,880 you swear you're eating potato chips. 466 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:58,480 It is off the charts fantastic. So I can hardly wait to launch 467 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,360 a, you know, a trail mix or something, because if we can 468 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,220 show people how this tastes really good, especially the 469 00:27:05,220 --> 00:27:07,700 Chlorella. And while you're eating 470 00:27:07,700 --> 00:27:10,940 something that's tasty and you're basically giving your 471 00:27:10,940 --> 00:27:15,020 body all the nutrients that it needs to either combat an 472 00:27:15,020 --> 00:27:18,700 illness or prevent one, it just doesn't get any better. 473 00:27:19,380 --> 00:27:22,700 At least I don't think so. Yeah, no, I think, I mean, I 474 00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:24,780 just listen to your talk. It's it's apparent that you're 475 00:27:24,780 --> 00:27:28,620 very passionate about it and for good reasons too. 476 00:27:28,620 --> 00:27:32,300 I mean, I've dug into algae a little bit and. 477 00:27:32,860 --> 00:27:35,420 The research that I've uncovered is is pretty pretty profound. 478 00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:38,500 I mean, I don't think that people realize how beneficial 479 00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:41,380 this stuff truly can be. Out of curiosity, why do you 480 00:27:41,380 --> 00:27:44,340 think the States are so far behind Asia? 481 00:27:44,580 --> 00:27:46,580 Sure. Well, it's not just the States, 482 00:27:46,580 --> 00:27:50,260 it's any country outside of Asia. 483 00:27:50,260 --> 00:27:54,260 And and there's three main reasons that I have I believe is 484 00:27:54,260 --> 00:27:59,420 why it's it's not well known. One is that as I mentioned it, 485 00:27:59,740 --> 00:28:04,460 it's all grown in Asia. So just like you know they've 486 00:28:04,460 --> 00:28:07,700 been using, you've been eating sushi for decades and they've 487 00:28:07,740 --> 00:28:10,060 been eating green tea for decades. 488 00:28:10,860 --> 00:28:14,340 When your market is close to the source of your product, the the 489 00:28:14,340 --> 00:28:18,240 awareness is just more is just deeper. 490 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:23,720 So algae's been sold in America for 50 years, but because the 491 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,520 market isn't very well developed, the Asian suppliers 492 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,160 basically have been selling the product here with the same Asian 493 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,280 packaging maybe just made it English, but it looked it looks 494 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,080 weird, it looks like it should be on the bottom shelf of some 495 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,560 Chinese, you know pharmacist so so that's not very consumer 496 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,440 friendly. So that's one reason is that 497 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,450 just the packaging has been unfamiliar to people and you 498 00:28:49,450 --> 00:28:56,410 know it's not very welcoming #2 is there are homeopaths and some 499 00:28:56,410 --> 00:28:59,730 vegan trainers, A handful of people in America that are aware 500 00:28:59,730 --> 00:29:02,570 of algae and back in the 60s there was a little boom of 501 00:29:02,850 --> 00:29:07,130 interest as sort of part of the anti war anti whatever. 502 00:29:08,010 --> 00:29:12,150 But most of that came from China and it was discovered that a lot 503 00:29:12,150 --> 00:29:15,950 of it was poor quality or they, you know, there might have been 504 00:29:15,950 --> 00:29:19,310 some toxins included in there or they, you know, I've got 505 00:29:19,310 --> 00:29:21,550 pictures where you know, they were in capsules, they had 506 00:29:21,550 --> 00:29:25,990 ground up rocks to dilute the quality and the efficacy of of 507 00:29:25,990 --> 00:29:27,950 the algae get you know get more for their money. 508 00:29:27,950 --> 00:29:32,750 So the most of the suppliers up until recently, certainly until 509 00:29:32,830 --> 00:29:36,670 us, have been focused on high volume, low quality. 510 00:29:36,750 --> 00:29:40,470 So when I I wasn't even planning on starting a company, I just 511 00:29:40,470 --> 00:29:42,470 want to help my sister and then I could help more people. 512 00:29:42,710 --> 00:29:46,830 So I just decided for me quality was #1. 513 00:29:47,110 --> 00:29:50,630 So it took me years to find which countries had the best 514 00:29:50,630 --> 00:29:53,470 algae, which, you know, companies I could work with. 515 00:29:53,790 --> 00:29:57,390 And so I'm very proud that we have very, very high and 516 00:29:57,390 --> 00:30:00,590 stringent controls. And because we sell our algae 517 00:30:00,590 --> 00:30:03,230 through doctors and chiropractors and homeopaths and 518 00:30:03,230 --> 00:30:06,190 natural paths they have to be sure that the quality is 519 00:30:06,670 --> 00:30:09,860 unquestionable. So we do third party lab tests 520 00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:14,300 by FDA at FDA approved lab so that show that there are no 521 00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:17,020 toxins. The nutrients are exactly what 522 00:30:17,020 --> 00:30:20,460 they we say they are So we so that so we've eliminated the 523 00:30:20,660 --> 00:30:23,500 problem with quality because that you know a lot of people if 524 00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:26,460 you're a trainer and you've got athletes on your team you don't 525 00:30:26,460 --> 00:30:29,460 want to recommend something to them that could be hazardous to 526 00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:32,060 their health and get them kicked out of their sport. 527 00:30:32,060 --> 00:30:38,180 So, so number one, we made the packaging more friendly, #2, we 528 00:30:38,180 --> 00:30:42,660 eliminated the quality issue. The other reason is that nobody 529 00:30:42,940 --> 00:30:47,620 has taken the time like we have to go through the science and it 530 00:30:47,620 --> 00:30:49,900 takes a lot, it's a lot of work to go through. 531 00:30:50,500 --> 00:30:53,540 You know, I haven't gone, I haven't gone through 100,000 532 00:30:53,540 --> 00:30:57,020 studies, but I've gone through thousands, certainly thousands 533 00:30:57,020 --> 00:31:01,980 of studies to try to understand the and pull out the, the most 534 00:31:01,980 --> 00:31:04,890 important connections. For example, I think I'm the 535 00:31:04,890 --> 00:31:06,970 first person that really realized that the nutrient 536 00:31:06,970 --> 00:31:09,890 profile of spirulina is almost identical to mother's breast 537 00:31:09,890 --> 00:31:12,210 milk. And I only stumbled across that 538 00:31:12,210 --> 00:31:15,090 because I saw some chart with mother's breast milk and I 539 00:31:15,090 --> 00:31:18,230 looked at all the amino acids and I thought, gosh, that looks 540 00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:19,350 a lot. That looks familiar. 541 00:31:19,350 --> 00:31:22,630 And then I ran to our chart that showed all of our amino acids 542 00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:24,390 and spirulina and everything else that was in it. 543 00:31:24,750 --> 00:31:28,150 My gosh, it's the exactly same amino acids in the exactly same 544 00:31:28,150 --> 00:31:30,030 proportion. And then had other other 545 00:31:30,030 --> 00:31:33,190 nutrients and and you know, we all know that mother breast milk 546 00:31:33,190 --> 00:31:35,550 is, you know, mother's nature's perfect food. 547 00:31:35,750 --> 00:31:37,870 Well, you know what? So is spirulina because it's 548 00:31:37,870 --> 00:31:39,750 virtually identical to mother's breast milk. 549 00:31:40,150 --> 00:31:42,910 I thought that was a pretty cool revelation. 550 00:31:42,910 --> 00:31:46,930 So I'm quite proud that we've, I've taken a lot right. 551 00:31:46,930 --> 00:31:50,370 And I personally have taken a lot of time to try to do the 552 00:31:50,370 --> 00:31:53,170 heavy lifting on the science. So that I could explain to 553 00:31:53,170 --> 00:31:57,570 people in sort of more layman's terms what these nutrients are 554 00:31:57,570 --> 00:32:00,570 doing and what nutrients your body needs to perform at its 555 00:32:00,570 --> 00:32:06,250 best to reduce inflammation to protect yourself from virtually 556 00:32:06,250 --> 00:32:09,130 anything. Because our food supply is so 557 00:32:09,130 --> 00:32:13,560 damaged or crops and our soils are so over farmed, there's 558 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,560 nothing really left for the poor old plants to pull out of the 559 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,520 root. They've got all kinds of toxins. 560 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,480 Even if you eat organic that's you're still not getting the 561 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,240 nutrients. They're finding that because of 562 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,170 the CO2 levels and the ozone layer is being just, you know, 563 00:32:28,170 --> 00:32:33,650 ruined, decreased plants these days have more sugar and fewer 564 00:32:33,650 --> 00:32:35,370 nutrients than they did 50 years ago. 565 00:32:35,370 --> 00:32:40,130 So we're just nutrient deprived. We had somebody once who we 566 00:32:40,130 --> 00:32:42,250 recommend 30 tablets for a single serving. 567 00:32:42,250 --> 00:32:46,410 We had somebody e-mail us. They had two tablets and they 568 00:32:46,410 --> 00:32:48,250 were anemic. And man, she said she had so 569 00:32:48,250 --> 00:32:51,930 much energy, she went for a run and she redecorated her house 570 00:32:51,930 --> 00:32:55,050 and painted her kitchen. You know, it's like, if that 571 00:32:55,050 --> 00:32:58,490 just doesn't tell you something. I mean, man, if we could get 572 00:32:58,490 --> 00:33:03,130 proper nutrients into people and their children and this stuff is 573 00:33:03,130 --> 00:33:08,220 safe for any age. Newborns, pets, granddads, I 574 00:33:08,220 --> 00:33:11,180 know we could help people be healthier, avoid a lot of 575 00:33:11,180 --> 00:33:16,500 illnesses, have more energy, just enjoy life and live longer 576 00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:22,020 with higher quality of life. And that's very, you know, very 577 00:33:22,020 --> 00:33:24,340 compelling. So the reason why algae isn't 578 00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:28,300 known in a in America or anywhere else is lack of 579 00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:33,100 education, lack of poor of good packaging, poor poor quality 580 00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:36,500 control, and let's face it, the Pharmaceutical industry and the 581 00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:40,490 bio biotechs, they want you on drugs. 582 00:33:40,730 --> 00:33:43,170 They're not going to, they're not going to spend time 583 00:33:43,170 --> 00:33:45,650 researching something that they can't get a patent on. 584 00:33:45,650 --> 00:33:47,570 This is you can't patent broccoli. 585 00:33:47,570 --> 00:33:50,570 You can't patent kale. You can't patent algae either. 586 00:33:50,570 --> 00:33:53,410 It's a it's a food crop, so they're not going to do it. 587 00:33:53,810 --> 00:34:00,170 And the food industry, big corporations, what they they 588 00:34:00,170 --> 00:34:02,810 don't nurture and develop new markets. 589 00:34:03,050 --> 00:34:06,750 They wait for somebody else, a little company like us, to find 590 00:34:06,750 --> 00:34:10,350 an opportunity, nurture it, educate people, and then they 591 00:34:10,350 --> 00:34:12,750 eventually acquire it. That's what's happened with, you 592 00:34:12,750 --> 00:34:14,949 know, CBT. That's what's been happening 593 00:34:14,949 --> 00:34:19,750 with Paleo, that's what's been having collagen, lots of keto 594 00:34:19,750 --> 00:34:23,510 products, whether you know Kettle and Fire, any of these 595 00:34:23,510 --> 00:34:28,909 wonderful young companies that have been developing products 596 00:34:29,190 --> 00:34:32,150 that are healthy, full of nutrients. 597 00:34:32,590 --> 00:34:35,760 They've had to do it from scratch because we companies 598 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,800 don't do that sort of thing. So it's really left to people 599 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,639 with passion who choose to pursue something because they 600 00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:45,280 want to make a difference like myself. 601 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,040 And that's what carries us through the difficult times, 602 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,120 trying to get people to take a look at something that's good 603 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,400 for them. And we're doing it because we 604 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,160 know it's good for them. We just want them to take the 605 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,800 time to understand why. Yeah, I really, really 606 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,440 appreciate that. I think a lot of companies, you 607 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,260 know, they're just out there to. To find a part that makes the 608 00:35:06,260 --> 00:35:09,420 money as opposed to finding a part that fits a need and fills 609 00:35:09,420 --> 00:35:12,780 that gap And and you being motivated originally by your 610 00:35:12,780 --> 00:35:14,540 sister. I mean that right there. 611 00:35:14,660 --> 00:35:16,860 I mean to me that it just gives you so much more weight in 612 00:35:16,860 --> 00:35:18,660 everything that you said today. You know, like I really 613 00:35:18,660 --> 00:35:20,630 appreciate. What you're driving motivation 614 00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:25,750 is yeah and and it's it's the truth and you know I live for 615 00:35:25,750 --> 00:35:28,270 the emails we get from our customers about their cancer 616 00:35:28,270 --> 00:35:30,230 going into remission or they have normal blood pressure 617 00:35:30,230 --> 00:35:32,910 reading for the first time or they're a 70 year old who's now 618 00:35:32,910 --> 00:35:36,030 running races again and and winning in their category. 619 00:35:36,070 --> 00:35:40,670 I mean we're making a difference and it and when you build a 620 00:35:40,670 --> 00:35:44,790 company with that in mind it it informs every single decision. 621 00:35:44,790 --> 00:35:48,540 It changes how I hire people, the way we spend our money. 622 00:35:48,540 --> 00:35:51,220 Once we get bigger, you know, we'll just pour all the money 623 00:35:51,220 --> 00:35:53,540 back into organizations that we can support. 624 00:35:53,540 --> 00:35:56,980 Might, might, long term dream is to give this stuff away at 625 00:35:56,980 --> 00:36:01,300 disaster areas and put in, get in school lunches. 626 00:36:01,940 --> 00:36:04,260 Algae never technically goes bad. 627 00:36:04,260 --> 00:36:07,500 It's either in its packaged form or even it's growing. 628 00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:11,100 I'll tell you a funny story, algae is the only crop that 629 00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:14,580 never dies. It will just go dormant for as 630 00:36:14,580 --> 00:36:17,180 long as it is required and then it will start growing again. 631 00:36:17,180 --> 00:36:21,780 I I I read an article in the National Geographic, some some 632 00:36:22,140 --> 00:36:26,460 researchers went up to the North Pole and they got some, they 633 00:36:26,460 --> 00:36:30,420 excavated some rock from some prehistoric glacier from, you 634 00:36:30,420 --> 00:36:33,420 know 3 billion years ago and they brought it back to the lab 635 00:36:33,420 --> 00:36:36,140 and they found some algae in the in the rock. 636 00:36:36,340 --> 00:36:39,100 And out of curiosity, they, they took a little bit of it and they 637 00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:42,360 put it into a Petri dish and put it in some water and lo and 638 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,240 behold, it started growing again. 639 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:51,520 Like, how crazy is that? So I and we get people emailing 640 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,160 us, you know the expirations dates gone by. 641 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,680 Is this still safe? It's safe forever. 642 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,280 That's why I would I talk about giving it to disaster areas. 643 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,080 I mean we could airlift this stuff to places and it could be 644 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,920 there for 10 years and it would still be fine. 645 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,320 So it's it's a remarkable food that way. 646 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,460 It's a remarkable, unusual plant that can do amazing things. 647 00:37:12,460 --> 00:37:16,060 But yeah, I'm I'm very passionate because I know I've 648 00:37:16,100 --> 00:37:18,100 seen the science, I know what it does. 649 00:37:18,100 --> 00:37:22,100 I just want more people to bring it into their life so they can 650 00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:25,100 start feeling great again. Absolutely. 651 00:37:25,620 --> 00:37:28,220 There's a, you know, I look at several of the graphs and 652 00:37:28,700 --> 00:37:31,700 whatnot comparing, you know, vegetable nutrient profile to 653 00:37:31,700 --> 00:37:33,140 that of like a meat, for instance. 654 00:37:33,140 --> 00:37:35,860 And especially, like in the the keto space, there's a pretty 655 00:37:35,860 --> 00:37:38,340 popular graph that illustrates, you know, meat just totally 656 00:37:38,340 --> 00:37:40,480 blowing. Kind of like I think a broccoli 657 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,000 out of the water as it relates to, you know, nutrient density 658 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,920 where where does you know chlorella and spirulina stack up 659 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,560 against other vegetables is there? 660 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,480 I mean I know it, it totally blows them out with with regard 661 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,960 to most things, but is there any hole in that graph whatsoever? 662 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,760 Like is there anything that is not met with the same kind of 663 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,360 density as another vegetable or or no? 664 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,160 Well, we have a nice quote from Nasau that says 1 gram of 665 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,990 spirulina has the nutrient equivalent of 1000 grams of any 666 00:38:09,990 --> 00:38:12,790 other fruits or vegetables. So that's pretty powerful. 667 00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:15,190 That's why they feed it to the astronauts and in fact I read 668 00:38:15,590 --> 00:38:20,750 today in in an article that they're they really want to grow 669 00:38:20,750 --> 00:38:24,430 algae in their their missions to Mars. 670 00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:27,230 Not only because it releases so much oxygen like I mentioned 671 00:38:27,230 --> 00:38:29,510 before, but because it is so nutrient dense. 672 00:38:30,830 --> 00:38:38,230 But in it, it is a complete protein number one, and with 40 673 00:38:38,230 --> 00:38:43,190 vitamins and minerals it's it can replace your vitamin, your 674 00:38:43,190 --> 00:38:45,390 multivitamin. It can replace your minerals, 675 00:38:45,390 --> 00:38:47,750 your calcium, magnesium, potassium. 676 00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:51,230 You probably don't need Co Q10. You definitely don't need fish 677 00:38:51,230 --> 00:38:55,110 oil as most people know that. You may or may not know most 678 00:38:55,110 --> 00:38:57,590 fish oil goes rancid. It's just the nature of 679 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,440 oxidation. It can't be prevented. 680 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,440 So it's not your best source of omega-3. 681 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,840 Even though omega-3 is very, very important, and I tell 682 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,160 people, guess where the fish get the omega-3 from, they get it 683 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,120 from algae. So, so and algae will give you 684 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,200 all the omega-3 and other eccentrified acids that you 685 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,000 need. And they are in smaller 686 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,010 quantities, but they don't, you know, they don't go rancid and 687 00:39:22,010 --> 00:39:26,010 they're certainly vegan. I will say, however, there is 688 00:39:26,290 --> 00:39:33,010 virtually no vitamin C in algae. So what I do to compensate for 689 00:39:33,010 --> 00:39:37,290 that is I when I get up in the morning, I always have a couple 690 00:39:37,290 --> 00:39:40,050 of glasses of water with lemon squeezes in them. 691 00:39:41,090 --> 00:39:44,210 So if you're on a keto diet and you don't want, you know, fruit 692 00:39:44,210 --> 00:39:47,490 is not something that's obviously going to be on your 693 00:39:48,370 --> 00:39:52,610 regular routine, mutine, I think the, the, you know, if you want 694 00:39:52,610 --> 00:39:54,530 to take a vitamin C tablet, that's great. 695 00:39:54,850 --> 00:39:58,090 Or the lemon, the lemon juice would also be an alternative. 696 00:39:58,730 --> 00:40:03,290 So that's the only nutrient that I feel that is important because 697 00:40:03,290 --> 00:40:06,570 it is an antioxidant. But there's other really 698 00:40:06,570 --> 00:40:09,570 powerful antioxidants in the algae. 699 00:40:09,730 --> 00:40:11,410 Chlorophyll obviously is one of them. 700 00:40:11,690 --> 00:40:16,410 And in Spirulina, there's something called SOD superoxide 701 00:40:16,410 --> 00:40:21,010 vismutase that actually is. Even more powerful as an 702 00:40:21,010 --> 00:40:24,450 antioxidant than anything else. And there's it's very difficult 703 00:40:24,450 --> 00:40:29,370 to find in any other food. But other than the the vitamin C 704 00:40:29,770 --> 00:40:31,850 and there's not a lot of D3 either. 705 00:40:31,850 --> 00:40:37,330 So I will probably, you know, suggest that people take D3, but 706 00:40:37,330 --> 00:40:40,570 if you live in the South you you're good to go because you 707 00:40:40,570 --> 00:40:44,490 can just go step outside. Yeah, I mean, it sounds like I'm 708 00:40:44,490 --> 00:40:47,010 always listening to your different podcast guests and. 709 00:40:47,490 --> 00:40:50,290 Experts in nutrition to see what I can do differently with my 710 00:40:50,290 --> 00:40:53,410 nutrition and it sounds like if I just stick with the, you know, 711 00:40:53,890 --> 00:40:57,290 high quality sourced red meat with. 712 00:40:57,890 --> 00:41:01,330 You know, some energy, bits and squeeze of lemon in my juice 713 00:41:01,330 --> 00:41:04,210 with with one of my keto bricks. I'd be good, good to go for the 714 00:41:04,210 --> 00:41:05,530 day. That's all I need really, for 715 00:41:05,530 --> 00:41:08,570 your energy. Yes, and and and so generally we 716 00:41:08,570 --> 00:41:11,930 suggest because people like the energy throughout the day to 717 00:41:11,930 --> 00:41:14,970 take the spirulina in the morning or the afternoon. 718 00:41:15,930 --> 00:41:19,090 But definitely don't cheat yourself out of the chlorella. 719 00:41:19,690 --> 00:41:22,930 And because your body goes through a natural detox at 720 00:41:22,930 --> 00:41:26,770 night, if you wanted to get into a routine, we would say take 721 00:41:26,770 --> 00:41:29,090 your spirulina in the morning, in the afternoon and take your 722 00:41:29,090 --> 00:41:31,970 chlorella at night. And and the reason for that is 723 00:41:31,970 --> 00:41:34,130 your body is you're sleeping, you're going through natural 724 00:41:34,130 --> 00:41:36,530 detox. Also, chlorella has the highest 725 00:41:36,530 --> 00:41:39,050 concentration of tryptophan. So it does help you sleep. 726 00:41:39,290 --> 00:41:42,850 Now it won't, it won't make you sleepy during the day, but it 727 00:41:42,850 --> 00:41:46,610 will cause you to, you know, have because trypophan is a 728 00:41:46,610 --> 00:41:48,930 precursor to melatonin which helps you sleep. 729 00:41:49,690 --> 00:41:54,580 So it does facilitate that. Also take it after a workout. 730 00:41:54,580 --> 00:41:56,980 So spirulina is good for a preworkout, Chlorella is good 731 00:41:56,980 --> 00:42:00,540 for a post workout. And again, you don't need any of 732 00:42:00,540 --> 00:42:04,980 those carbs when you're, you know, when people transition to 733 00:42:04,980 --> 00:42:09,300 keto, there's often this what's called the keto flu and it's 734 00:42:09,300 --> 00:42:13,820 because your body is releasing so much water and when the water 735 00:42:13,820 --> 00:42:16,420 is being released, it's carrying lots of minerals and so 736 00:42:16,540 --> 00:42:19,180 including, you know salt. And so it's the it's the 737 00:42:19,700 --> 00:42:23,180 deprivation of those minerals that can cause you to feel a 738 00:42:23,180 --> 00:42:27,740 little fatigued. So in but the the algae, both 739 00:42:27,740 --> 00:42:31,420 Spirulian and Chlorella are loaded with minerals, potassium, 740 00:42:31,420 --> 00:42:33,620 magnesium, a little bit of sodium. 741 00:42:33,820 --> 00:42:38,460 So it's really helps prevent that keto flu, although I do 742 00:42:38,460 --> 00:42:41,220 also still encourage people that, you know, that's why one 743 00:42:41,220 --> 00:42:44,820 of the reasons I like to suggest putting the sea salt on your 744 00:42:44,820 --> 00:42:47,620 algae, if you like the chlorella, now you're getting 745 00:42:47,860 --> 00:42:51,860 even more salt and the minerals and you're boosting your immune 746 00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:55,260 system at the same time. So it helps alleviate that keto 747 00:42:55,260 --> 00:42:59,060 flu and then you know it just keeps you topped off as you keep 748 00:42:59,060 --> 00:43:01,140 going. And you're recommending, you 749 00:43:01,140 --> 00:43:03,020 said, what, 3030 of these tablets. 750 00:43:03,020 --> 00:43:06,180 Today, that's what we recommend. And the reason people say, well, 751 00:43:06,180 --> 00:43:08,500 how did you get to 30? When we first started? 752 00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:11,380 As I may have mentioned, we were working with a lot of athletes, 753 00:43:11,500 --> 00:43:14,380 marathon runners, triathletes, Olympic athletes. 754 00:43:14,980 --> 00:43:16,260 We actually had so many Olympic athletes. 755 00:43:16,260 --> 00:43:19,140 I sent two of my team to the Winter Olympics and Sochi, and 756 00:43:19,460 --> 00:43:24,500 we were invited into the Olympic Village for both the American 757 00:43:24,620 --> 00:43:27,780 Olympic Village and the Canadian, because I'm Canadian. 758 00:43:28,420 --> 00:43:30,300 But where was it going with this? 759 00:43:30,300 --> 00:43:32,380 So. So we, we found that, you know, 760 00:43:32,580 --> 00:43:35,940 for the athletes to get energy. We started with 10, then we went 761 00:43:35,940 --> 00:43:39,680 to 2025. It wasn't until we hit 30 that 762 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,520 they consistently felt a boost of energy. 763 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,000 We've so that's how we we do single servings with 30 and we 764 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,400 recommend 30. But since then we've realized 765 00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:54,720 the average person is so nutrient deprived that even 5 or 766 00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:58,480 10 at a time will make a difference in your health. 767 00:43:59,390 --> 00:44:02,550 And it's like a lot of things you kind of have to sort of play 768 00:44:02,550 --> 00:44:05,270 around with what your perfect blend is. 769 00:44:05,270 --> 00:44:08,710 I still personally like to suggest 30 if you are doing a 770 00:44:08,710 --> 00:44:11,870 workout or you're getting started in the day. 771 00:44:11,870 --> 00:44:16,470 But if if you get energy from 5:00 or 10:00 then that's that's 772 00:44:16,470 --> 00:44:19,950 cool, take 5 or 10, it'll certainly make your your LG last 773 00:44:19,950 --> 00:44:22,470 longer. On the other hand there is no 774 00:44:22,470 --> 00:44:24,710 upper side. It's like you can't eat too much 775 00:44:24,710 --> 00:44:30,650 salad or you we have we fuel 5 NHL teams and they take they 776 00:44:30,650 --> 00:44:36,490 have 75 or 100 spirulina ground up in their smoothies before a 777 00:44:36,490 --> 00:44:40,610 game and then they take the same amount of the Chlorella tablets 778 00:44:40,650 --> 00:44:43,690 after the game to pull out the lactic acid. 779 00:44:43,970 --> 00:44:48,410 And I personally have about that much myself anyways, and I have 780 00:44:48,410 --> 00:44:51,290 for about the last eight years, and I couldn't live without this 781 00:44:51,290 --> 00:44:54,790 stuff. So it's just like a very healthy 782 00:44:55,550 --> 00:44:57,750 food snack. You can't, you know, or 783 00:44:57,750 --> 00:44:59,270 vegetable. You can't have too much of it. 784 00:44:59,270 --> 00:45:01,990 And because there's only one calorie and there's zero carbs 785 00:45:02,270 --> 00:45:06,950 and it's ketogenic and vegan and pure and toxin free and all 786 00:45:06,950 --> 00:45:11,070 those other jolly good things, it's a it's a real blessing to 787 00:45:11,070 --> 00:45:14,350 your body. So if you want to start with a 788 00:45:14,350 --> 00:45:17,190 smaller quantity to see how you feel, that's great. 789 00:45:17,190 --> 00:45:21,810 It's also great for children and we recommend 1 tablet per age. 790 00:45:21,810 --> 00:45:25,050 So if they're three, we suggest maybe three a day. 791 00:45:25,650 --> 00:45:27,330 If they're five, give them five a day. 792 00:45:28,170 --> 00:45:30,770 And pets. I'll just warn you, your pets 793 00:45:30,770 --> 00:45:34,650 will love this stuff and it will become a, you know, a very 794 00:45:34,650 --> 00:45:38,890 habit, a very expensive treat if they if they start using it. 795 00:45:38,890 --> 00:45:42,210 But I I also say, hey, how many, how many foods can you and your 796 00:45:42,210 --> 00:45:46,300 pet enjoy together, right? Yeah, yeah. 797 00:45:47,020 --> 00:45:49,540 No, this is good. I did not even know it can be 798 00:45:49,540 --> 00:45:51,020 applied to that. But I mean, it makes total 799 00:45:51,020 --> 00:45:52,900 sense. We have our dogs Keto now, so it 800 00:45:52,900 --> 00:45:54,660 only makes sense to to give them this. 801 00:45:54,900 --> 00:45:58,300 Yeah, yeah, well, I have some friends who you know this one 802 00:45:58,300 --> 00:46:01,380 friend. She had a small lap dog and she 803 00:46:01,380 --> 00:46:05,220 made the mistake of leaving her bag of spirulina tablets on the 804 00:46:05,220 --> 00:46:08,500 counter and somehow this little lap dog jumped up on the 805 00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:12,660 counter, got to the bag and ate the entire bag. 806 00:46:12,660 --> 00:46:15,300 So almost 1000. She was so worried that she was 807 00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:18,140 going to die and I said no, no, no, he'll just throw up what she 808 00:46:18,140 --> 00:46:19,500 did. He was perfectly fine. 809 00:46:19,780 --> 00:46:23,380 But this dog had tried them and man, when he realized they were 810 00:46:23,380 --> 00:46:26,660 up there, he was going to do everything he could to get 811 00:46:26,660 --> 00:46:28,980 access to them. And another friend of mine has a 812 00:46:29,220 --> 00:46:37,000 she lives in a three story house and she has five cats. 813 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,640 And she said she could be pulling her bag out of the 814 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,560 fridge and it'll rustle a little bit. 815 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,860 And those cats, they will hear that and they will run down the 816 00:46:45,860 --> 00:46:49,620 stairs and circle around her legs waiting for her to give 817 00:46:49,620 --> 00:46:52,620 them some. So it's very, it'll be very 818 00:46:52,620 --> 00:46:55,180 interesting. I would love to have you give 819 00:46:55,180 --> 00:46:57,860 your dog summons and let me know what the reaction is. 820 00:46:57,860 --> 00:47:01,140 Because animals are very smart, they know it's good for them. 821 00:47:01,620 --> 00:47:04,260 Instinctively, they go and eat grass when they're not feeling 822 00:47:04,420 --> 00:47:08,240 well because they know that the chlorophyll and the grass is 823 00:47:08,240 --> 00:47:11,120 very healing. So they know that there's so 824 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,520 much chlorophyll and stuff in this in the algae that it's good 825 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,680 for them. Absolutely, absolutely. 826 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:22,040 So what about just kind of dive into the process of how it's 827 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,280 made? Cuz like, I've seen the videos. 828 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,880 I've seen not videos, but I've seen some pictures of like these 829 00:47:27,240 --> 00:47:30,280 I call like plantations, algae plantations almost, I guess. 830 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,920 Yeah, that's probably a good term for it, Yeah. 831 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,660 So just walk me through that. Sure. 832 00:47:34,700 --> 00:47:38,020 Well, the farms are not small, so this isn't something like you 833 00:47:38,020 --> 00:47:42,580 would have in your local garden. They can be as large as, you 834 00:47:42,580 --> 00:47:47,260 know, football stadiums and you can tell what kind of LG farm 835 00:47:47,260 --> 00:47:52,060 you're looking at based on the shape of the of the farm space. 836 00:47:52,220 --> 00:47:56,860 So spirulina is called spirulina because it grows in a spiral. 837 00:47:57,100 --> 00:48:01,990 So it first they started in a, they started in little test 838 00:48:01,990 --> 00:48:04,790 tubes just to grow it to get sort of like a little seedling 839 00:48:05,070 --> 00:48:09,830 and then they move it out into the the water tank, I call it a 840 00:48:09,830 --> 00:48:11,310 tank. I don't know what some people 841 00:48:11,310 --> 00:48:16,430 refer them As for spirulina, A runway, because spirulina is the 842 00:48:16,430 --> 00:48:19,630 way it's farmed. You put the beginning, you know 843 00:48:19,830 --> 00:48:24,430 it's almost the the seedlings at one end and it it's, it's sort 844 00:48:24,430 --> 00:48:27,410 of like a rolling lane. It's very long and narrow 845 00:48:27,410 --> 00:48:29,810 because what it will do is grow from one end. 846 00:48:30,090 --> 00:48:34,970 It will spiral its way, filling up the runway with this sort of 847 00:48:34,970 --> 00:48:40,770 stringy CBD looking kind of fiber until it reaches the end. 848 00:48:41,590 --> 00:48:46,390 So that's spirulina grows in spirals in long, narrow, as I 849 00:48:46,390 --> 00:48:48,830 say they call them runways and chlorella. 850 00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,990 It actually grows, it puffs out. Remember I said it was the 851 00:48:52,990 --> 00:48:57,230 fastest growing Organism, So it puffs out in in a circular 852 00:48:57,230 --> 00:49:02,830 fashion, so it's in round tanks, and so it grows. 853 00:49:02,830 --> 00:49:05,910 It starts in the middle and it grows out to the sides of the 854 00:49:05,910 --> 00:49:09,190 circle. So what makes a difference in 855 00:49:09,190 --> 00:49:11,230 the quality? First of all, there's different 856 00:49:11,230 --> 00:49:14,640 strains of algae, just like there's different quality meats. 857 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,400 You know, you can have Kobe beef and grass fed beef and then you 858 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,600 have that stuff, I think they call it beef at McDonald's. 859 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:25,520 But you know there's variations. So same with algae, there's 860 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,560 different strains and some have more nutrients and some have 861 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,760 more protein. So we use the highest strain and 862 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,320 then it, you know, it depends on the quality of the water which 863 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,680 so ours is triple filtered spring mountain water because 864 00:49:37,720 --> 00:49:42,490 you want to be sure that there's no toxins and then you gather up 865 00:49:42,490 --> 00:49:48,130 the algae and dry it. Now we don't use high heat to 866 00:49:48,130 --> 00:49:50,610 dry ours. We just sort of shoot it up into 867 00:49:50,610 --> 00:49:54,010 the air and this and it's, it dries naturally, it filters down 868 00:49:54,010 --> 00:49:55,730 into a pile and do that multiple times. 869 00:49:55,770 --> 00:49:59,920 And the reason we don't use high heat is to preserve the enzymes. 870 00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:01,920 So it's still considered a raw food. 871 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,360 A lot of companies and this was again stuff that you'll find at 872 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:10,520 Target or some of these now foods or what very inexpensive 873 00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:14,160 algae, they use high heat because they're a volume 874 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,200 producer. So that kills the new, the 875 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,600 enzymes and it also deteriorates the quality of some of the 876 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,600 nutrients. So that's you want to be careful 877 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:29,180 of that And then we what's called tablet we we push the 878 00:50:29,180 --> 00:50:30,700 water. There's a you know conveyor belt 879 00:50:30,700 --> 00:50:35,580 that push the water out of the out of the dried algae and put 880 00:50:35,580 --> 00:50:37,700 into almost like little muffin tins. 881 00:50:38,140 --> 00:50:39,620 So it forms these little tablets. 882 00:50:39,620 --> 00:50:41,700 There isn't. There are no binders. 883 00:50:42,070 --> 00:50:45,030 There's nothing else in it. When a lot of companies have to 884 00:50:45,030 --> 00:50:48,590 use binders to keep the LG together or they what they do is 885 00:50:48,590 --> 00:50:51,910 they put it in a powder inside a capsule, but sometimes they 886 00:50:51,910 --> 00:50:54,630 could put other fillers in that capsule and you don't really 887 00:50:54,630 --> 00:50:57,950 know what that's in there. So we don't do any of that. 888 00:50:57,950 --> 00:51:01,030 We make sure ours is just 100%, there's only one ingredient and 889 00:51:01,030 --> 00:51:05,460 that's that and that's it. Nothing else and and on that 890 00:51:05,460 --> 00:51:08,820 note I just want to make one sort of distinction between 891 00:51:08,820 --> 00:51:11,820 spirulina and Chlorella. Remember I said spirulina is a 892 00:51:11,820 --> 00:51:14,620 bacteria and does not have a cellulous wall. 893 00:51:15,020 --> 00:51:18,300 Chlorella has the hardest cellulous wall that I mentioned 894 00:51:18,300 --> 00:51:20,300 earlier needs to be cracked in production. 895 00:51:20,900 --> 00:51:24,260 So when I started the company I found out that the common 896 00:51:24,460 --> 00:51:28,300 technique used to crack the chlorella is they tumble it 897 00:51:28,300 --> 00:51:31,580 physically with glass beads. Now this technique was 898 00:51:32,070 --> 00:51:35,790 formulated by the granddaddy of Chlorella, which we're very 899 00:51:35,790 --> 00:51:38,150 grateful that they learned how to grow Chlorella. 900 00:51:38,150 --> 00:51:40,550 It's called Sun Chlorella. So I'm very, very grateful for 901 00:51:40,550 --> 00:51:42,630 them for starting this back in the 50s. 902 00:51:43,110 --> 00:51:45,670 And they patented this technique, it's called Dyno Mill 903 00:51:46,590 --> 00:51:49,550 and virtually every other Chlorella company in the world 904 00:51:49,790 --> 00:51:53,550 uses their technique, which is to tumble the the Chlorella with 905 00:51:53,550 --> 00:51:56,750 the glass beads. So it basically pulverizes the 906 00:51:57,590 --> 00:52:00,910 cell wall so that because if it wasn't pulverized or cracked, 907 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,600 your body could not absorb the nutrients inside. 908 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,560 However, there was always suspicion that the heat from the 909 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,320 glass, the glass heated up and that lead was leaking from the 910 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,040 glass into the chlorella. Now they denied that this was 911 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,640 happening, but just when I was starting the company, just the 912 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,160 state of California was informed of this potential problem. 913 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,800 So they did some tests on their chlorella and did indeed find 914 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,760 that the amount of lead exceeded acceptable levels. 915 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,840 I tell my my team, well, how much lead could be too much 916 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,760 lead, you know, would it be any lead. 917 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,320 So I decided we could not use that technique because the state 918 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:42,160 of California had determined that that technique was not was 919 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,520 harmful to your health and they forced the company. 920 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,440 They said you can either stop selling or put a warning on your 921 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,880 label. So they do have a warning on 922 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,640 their packaging that says, you know, this, this, this contains 923 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,960 A substance known by the state of California to cause, you 924 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,240 know, brain, brain defects and whatever. 925 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,760 And so I found a new technique right around that time that had 926 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,360 been developed with more expensive where they passed the 927 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:11,080 clarella through a sound chamber and it's the vibrations that 928 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:15,470 crack the clarella. So no heat, no lead, That's. 929 00:53:15,470 --> 00:53:18,350 So that's what we use. And I was telling this to 930 00:53:18,350 --> 00:53:22,710 somebody a few days ago and they said, oh, good vibrations in 931 00:53:22,710 --> 00:53:25,950 your Chlorella. Yeah, I'm. 932 00:53:26,030 --> 00:53:27,990 And I'm, you know, I'm actually a Reiki healer too. 933 00:53:28,190 --> 00:53:30,910 And I'm all about energy and vibration. 934 00:53:30,910 --> 00:53:35,560 So I'm very, very happy that we have clean Chlorella and 935 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:40,120 spirulina but and it's good vibrations and we've had, we've 936 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,640 had lots of people actually contact us and tell us that 937 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:44,960 they've muscle tested. They've never been able to take 938 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,640 Chlorella before but they muscle tested ours and found out that 939 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,240 they could take it and I think it's because it's doesn't have 940 00:53:51,240 --> 00:53:53,680 the lead in it. So, so yeah, so Chlorella has to 941 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,080 be cracked to production and we pass our through the sound 942 00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:00,560 chamber and then we package it into UV protected bags. 943 00:54:01,490 --> 00:54:04,210 And the reason why this is important is because sunlight 944 00:54:04,450 --> 00:54:08,090 will if if you have light packaging or you know light 945 00:54:08,090 --> 00:54:11,170 colored bottles for your spirulina or Chlorella, the 946 00:54:11,170 --> 00:54:12,890 light will pull the Chlorella out. 947 00:54:12,890 --> 00:54:16,490 No, it's not damaging to the algae, but it means that you're 948 00:54:16,490 --> 00:54:19,250 losing some of the power of the chlorophyll which is very 949 00:54:19,250 --> 00:54:21,690 cleansing. So we made, we made sure that 950 00:54:21,690 --> 00:54:25,690 our packages were 99% UV protected. 951 00:54:25,690 --> 00:54:30,140 So we have large bags that are sold on our website and then we 952 00:54:30,380 --> 00:54:33,060 sell single servings through doctors and nutritionists and 953 00:54:33,060 --> 00:54:36,340 chiropractors and you can find and and and Amazon, we sell them 954 00:54:36,340 --> 00:54:39,540 on Amazon. So, so that's and our packaging 955 00:54:39,540 --> 00:54:43,700 is all done under proper FDA regulations and then we do the 956 00:54:43,780 --> 00:54:49,180 when we we import the algae in bulk from Asia for the packaging 957 00:54:49,180 --> 00:54:54,240 and then we have each batch tested at a third party lab 958 00:54:54,240 --> 00:54:57,600 that's been approved by the FDA and we get those and we share 959 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,560 those lab tests with all of our doctors and nutritionists and 960 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,800 people who recommend or sell our product to their patients and 961 00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,720 clients because we want them to know that we have nothing to 962 00:55:07,720 --> 00:55:11,200 hide and that everything is safe and pure and clean and toxin 963 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,680 free. So we're doing everything we can 964 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:21,080 to ensure a healthy, safe, nutrient dense product that 965 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,960 will, you know, can be used for many reasons, whether it's 966 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:29,240 therapeutic or as a snack or for, you know, athletic 967 00:55:29,240 --> 00:55:31,440 performance or keto diets, whatever. 968 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:35,160 And we were just at the Metabolic Health Summit in Long 969 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,720 Beach 2 weeks ago. Dominique D'agostino is one of 970 00:55:38,720 --> 00:55:42,160 the founders of that. Yeah, I was there. 971 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:43,440 I saw your booth. Were you there? 972 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,040 Yeah. Yeah, I I needed. 973 00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:48,960 I guess you were there then. I didn't even think that the 974 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,860 swing by and shake your hand. Oh man, Oh well, we'll be there 975 00:55:51,860 --> 00:55:54,900 again next year. So, so wow, that's so exciting. 976 00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:56,380 I'm hoping to speak out next year. 977 00:55:56,900 --> 00:55:58,420 Yeah, yeah. Are you going to any of the 978 00:55:58,420 --> 00:56:00,020 other conferences? Well, we do. 979 00:56:00,460 --> 00:56:02,140 We're doing about 20 conferences this year. 980 00:56:02,140 --> 00:56:06,980 We do a lot of chiropractic conferences and we're going to a 981 00:56:06,980 --> 00:56:10,700 lot of Plantbased Dr. conferences. 982 00:56:11,900 --> 00:56:14,100 We're starting to work a little bit in the spa industry. 983 00:56:14,100 --> 00:56:18,020 So I think it's too late for us to be at Keto Con, but we'll 984 00:56:18,020 --> 00:56:21,060 probably be there next year, but we'll definitely be at the that 985 00:56:21,340 --> 00:56:22,740 metabolic health again next year. 986 00:56:22,740 --> 00:56:27,100 And and for the last three years we've been at low carb USA and 987 00:56:27,100 --> 00:56:29,420 I've spoken at them for the last three years as well. 988 00:56:29,420 --> 00:56:30,900 Have you ever been to any of those? 989 00:56:31,020 --> 00:56:34,060 Not the low carb USA I was. I was going to go to that one, 990 00:56:34,060 --> 00:56:37,340 but I had to pull the trigger on the meta and go to the Metabolic 991 00:56:37,340 --> 00:56:39,020 Health Summit, so I opted for that one instead. 992 00:56:39,710 --> 00:56:41,310 But I plan to go there next year. 993 00:56:41,390 --> 00:56:44,030 Yeah. Met of all outstanding and I've 994 00:56:44,030 --> 00:56:46,790 told them that and we're we're going to support them and do as 995 00:56:46,790 --> 00:56:49,990 much as we can to help them because they're doing all the 996 00:56:49,990 --> 00:56:52,310 right things. They get really great speakers 997 00:56:52,310 --> 00:56:55,270 that's a very, you know it's so wonderful to be part of this 998 00:56:55,270 --> 00:56:57,230 community. We're all helping one another 999 00:56:57,230 --> 00:57:01,110 and connecting one another and it's it's it's like a big 1000 00:57:01,110 --> 00:57:03,150 family. So because we've got an 1001 00:57:03,510 --> 00:57:06,270 important message to share. So you were there to see the 1002 00:57:06,790 --> 00:57:07,750 BMX. Yeah. 1003 00:57:08,030 --> 00:57:11,630 Yeah, Josh Perry was there. Yeah, that was awesome. 1004 00:57:11,630 --> 00:57:14,590 That was really in the Charlie Foundation. 1005 00:57:14,710 --> 00:57:16,110 It's such a great group of people. 1006 00:57:16,110 --> 00:57:18,670 We really love them. Well, I can definitely tell that 1007 00:57:18,670 --> 00:57:21,990 Y'all Energy Bits is breaking out into the keto space. 1008 00:57:21,990 --> 00:57:25,390 I mean, I think I heard of Y'all's product initially on a 1009 00:57:25,390 --> 00:57:27,190 Tim Ferriss podcast, I wanna say. 1010 00:57:28,300 --> 00:57:31,740 I think he was using it, but I mean it was just so cool to see. 1011 00:57:31,740 --> 00:57:34,260 I mean y'all are. I mean your brain has kind of 1012 00:57:34,260 --> 00:57:36,660 become more in line with keto. I see that in the space and it's 1013 00:57:36,660 --> 00:57:39,900 just just cool to see you know how the cross can path, how the 1014 00:57:39,900 --> 00:57:43,220 paths can cross rather and it benefit you know all groups no 1015 00:57:43,220 --> 00:57:44,980 matter what your nutritional protocol is exactly. 1016 00:57:45,910 --> 00:57:49,230 We're also going to be at Fitcon in the keto corner section 1017 00:57:49,830 --> 00:57:52,590 because I don't believe there are any other keto sports 1018 00:57:52,590 --> 00:57:54,910 nutrition products out there. Everything's carb and sugar 1019 00:57:54,910 --> 00:57:59,910 based and there's a growing number of keto athletes and we 1020 00:57:59,910 --> 00:58:04,110 want to know that we're here to support them because the out the 1021 00:58:04,110 --> 00:58:07,270 spirulina will give them the energy and keep their keto, keep 1022 00:58:07,270 --> 00:58:10,110 them in ketosis and the Chlorella will pull out their 1023 00:58:10,110 --> 00:58:12,110 lactic acid and speed up the recovery. 1024 00:58:12,110 --> 00:58:15,510 So we're very excited. We haven't even done a fitness 1025 00:58:15,860 --> 00:58:20,340 show in five years. So and we and they we met the 1026 00:58:20,340 --> 00:58:24,540 keto, the Fitcom people at this metabolic health summit, they 1027 00:58:24,540 --> 00:58:26,620 said please come to the keto section. 1028 00:58:26,620 --> 00:58:28,940 So we said, all right, we're in, we're gonna be there. 1029 00:58:29,780 --> 00:58:30,620 That's awesome. Yeah. 1030 00:58:30,620 --> 00:58:32,420 I mean, keep doing what you're doing, keep spreading the word 1031 00:58:32,420 --> 00:58:34,100 like you are. And I mean, I mean that's that's 1032 00:58:34,420 --> 00:58:36,700 the best way to go about it, just spreading it organically 1033 00:58:36,700 --> 00:58:38,620 naturally like that. I mean, that's how you really 1034 00:58:38,620 --> 00:58:40,340 gain momentum. Yeah. 1035 00:58:40,700 --> 00:58:44,740 And I I am available to answer any questions anyone has, 1036 00:58:44,980 --> 00:58:49,020 because I want everyone to understand that this isn't 1037 00:58:49,020 --> 00:58:52,460 something it may They may think algae is weird, but but it's 1038 00:58:52,460 --> 00:58:54,060 not. It's just unknown. 1039 00:58:54,060 --> 00:58:58,620 It's it's just unfamiliar. So just like keto was unknown 1040 00:58:58,620 --> 00:59:01,300 and unfamiliar, and first people thought it was weird and there's 1041 00:59:01,300 --> 00:59:05,340 pushback, but now the science is trickling out to show that 1042 00:59:05,340 --> 00:59:07,980 there's benefits, especially even if you can't get to the 1043 00:59:07,980 --> 00:59:10,780 full keto state low carb, you've got it. 1044 00:59:11,060 --> 00:59:13,540 People have got to get rid of those carbs and sugar. 1045 00:59:13,540 --> 00:59:17,060 I mean, it's so damaging. It's just crazy to think about 1046 00:59:17,060 --> 00:59:18,500 it. It's gone as long as it has. 1047 00:59:18,500 --> 00:59:22,860 So we're no sugar. Keto, vegan. 1048 00:59:22,860 --> 00:59:27,220 Whatever your dietary protocol is, I have the science that will 1049 00:59:27,220 --> 00:59:28,940 help you understand why it works. 1050 00:59:29,420 --> 00:59:31,940 Because you know, knowledge is power, right? 1051 00:59:31,940 --> 00:59:35,900 And so, and if I don't have an answer, I will, I will find it. 1052 00:59:38,410 --> 00:59:40,570 I could tell you you're very passionate about this, which is 1053 00:59:40,570 --> 00:59:42,370 just invigorating and exciting to witness. 1054 00:59:42,650 --> 00:59:45,610 Yeah, yeah.

And I I tell people selfishly, I 1058 00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,880 need people to take the algae because I have a feeling Dave 1059 00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:02,440 Asprey and I are going to be the ones that are going to live 180 1060 01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:03,880 years. And then I I need to be sure 1061 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,840 people are my friends are around to hang out with me. 1062 01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,000 So.
