2 Reasons Why Everyone Needs Phytoplankton! By Dr. Lana Kontos

Hi GPA Family!

I’m so excited to officially welcome you into the Global Phytoplankton Alliance community - whether you’re a dedicated practitioner or someone taking phytoplankton every day to support your health. From here on out, I’ll be checking in each week with a new wellness vlog, packed with useful tips you can share with the whole family.

To kick things off, I want to talk about two major issues most of us face—two things that are quietly working against our health, no matter how clean we eat or how often we move our bodies.

1. Gut Health Disruption (a.k.a. Dysbiosis)

Most people today live with an imbalanced gut microbiome. That’s a fancy way of saying we have more harmful bacteria than helpful bacteria in our digestive system. You could be eating the cleanest organic fruits and vegetables, but if your gut wall isn’t functioning properly, those nutrients aren’t making it into your bloodstream—let alone your cells.

The modern lifestyle—processed foods, sugar, alcohol, medications (yes, even over-the-counter cold meds)—disrupts our gut flora. Simply living in the Western world makes it nearly impossible to avoid. And when the gut is off, your nutrient absorption suffers.

2. Clogged or Misshapen Cell Membranes

Here’s something not enough people talk about: your cells might be blocked from receiving nutrients even after they enter your bloodstream. Why? Because over time, our cell membranes become less permeable, clogged or misshapen due to things like:

• High-fat, processed foods

• Sugars and oils

• Prescription medications

• Stress

• Illnesses, viruses, and even vaccines

When the “doors and windows” of your cells can’t open properly, it doesn’t matter how nutrient-rich your food is—it won’t get where it needs to go.

The Good News: A Simple Solution That Works

Now for the part I love to share: Global Phytoplankton Alliance’s Gatana and Tetras. These two formulas are designed to solve both of the problems above.

Each tiny jar delivers 30 servings and 90 billion plant cells—nutrients in their most perfect, bioavailable form. The beauty of phytoplankton is that:

• It’s nature’s first food—pure and complete

• It bypasses the need for a healthy gut microbiome

• It penetrates even clogged or damaged cell membranes

• It delivers what many call “God’s nutrition” straight to your cells

And it works for everyone—no matter your age, your gut health, your medications, or your history.

So, if you needed a reason not to miss a single day of GPA, this is it.

To your health,
