What if the algae tablets in your cupboard are missing the nutrients that make algae worth taking? How algae is grown and dried may matter as much as what it is.

Dr. Yi Song sits down with Catharine Arnston, founder of ENERGYbits, who holds an MBA and a PhD in natural health and has spent 17 years researching spirulina and chlorella algae. Catharine explains how her sister's breast cancer diagnosis led her into plant-based nutrition, why algae is a whole food rather than a supplement, and why she grows hers in triple filtered spring mountain water in southern Taiwan with third party lab testing.

The conversation covers why high heat during drying may deactivate superoxide dismutase (SOD) and phycocyanin, how spirulina and chlorella differ (spirulina for energy and brain health, chlorella for detox, sleep and gut health), why she points to the electron transport chain inside the mitochondria as a source of chronic inflammation, and how post-war hunger in Japan built the algae industry in Asia. Catharine also shares practical dosing, why people on GLP-1 medications may need more protein, and her own daily routine at nearly 70.

This is an educational conversation for anyone curious about cellular energy, mitochondrial health, and how food quality shapes long-term wellbeing.

Most nutrition advice stops at macros and calories. It treats food as fuel and nothing else.

Lainie Sevante Wulkan, food scientist, fourth generation intuitive, and founder of the Center for Intuitive Food Therapy, joins Dr. Yi Song on Regeneration Effect to make the case that food carries information as well as nutrition. She traces her path from a university food science program in the early nineties, through the work of Masaru Emoto, Bruce Lipton, and David Hawkins, to the Food Healing Oracle Deck now used in 45 countries.

The conversation covers why the artichoke became the forgiveness card and cilantro the confusion card, how heavy metal chelation and pH sit alongside the metaphor, what muscle testing adds to a reading, and how her recent work in DNA, blood type, and food cravings pulls the practice back toward measurable science. She also describes Hope from the Himalayas, a documentary on an Ayurvedic herbal infusion company in Nepal that is funding economic independence for girls at risk of trafficking, and the retreats she runs each year in Florida, Sicily, and now Nepal.

This is an educational conversation for those exploring nutrition, intuition, and the space where traditional practice meets modern research.

Most supplement stacks treat aging like a supply chain problem: add NAD here, CoQ10 there, something for mitochondria, something for enzymes. The molecule designed to handle most of that work has been known for over a century. The problem was always getting it inside the cell.

Pharmacist Nayan Patel, author of The Glutathione Revolution, joins Dr. Yi Song to trace glutathione from its discovery through the six-year cyclodextrin breakthrough that finally makes it bioavailable at the cellular level. They cover the three-tier antioxidant framework, why standard formulations never deliver the intact molecule, what NAD actually does and does not do, why blood tests for glutathione are almost always misleading, and how oxidative stress may be the defining health challenge of this century.

This is an educational conversation for those exploring cellular health, antioxidant science, and longevity supplementation.
