Episode 235
In this episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski teams up again with Don Bailey, CMO of BioLight, for a fast-paced Q&A session that delves into the essentials of mitochondrial health. Unlike last week’s long-form conversation, this episode brings a rapid-fire format — Don poses questions and Dr. Mike answers in 60 seconds or less.
The result? A high-energy episode that delivers bite-sized yet powerful insights into how your mitochondria drive energy, longevity, and resilience.
From everyday lifestyle choices to cutting-edge supplements like methylene blue, carbon 60, and urolithin B, Dr. Mike breaks down the science of mitochondrial optimization into clear and practical takeaways.
Key Topics CoveredMitochondria 101: Why they’re called the power plants of the cell and why density matters for energy and health
Quality Control & Renewal: Autophagy and mitophagy as cellular “cleanup crews” clearing zombie mitochondria
Lifestyle Impacts: Sleep, light, grounding, emotional health, and EMF exposure as daily influences on mitochondrial function
Exercise & DNA: Why no single type of workout fits everyone, and how genetic differences shape exercise outcomes
Eating Patterns: Intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, and the ketogenic diet’s link to deuterium depletion
Supplement Spotlight:
Methylene Blue & Leucomethylene Blue: restoring electron flow in mitochondria and synergizing with red light
Carbon 60: a powerful regenerative antioxidant that mitigates oxidative stress
NAD+ Precursors (NMN/NR): boosting energy efficiency in the electron transport chain
PQQ & Urolithin B: driving mitochondrial biogenesis and clearing out dysfunctional mitochondria
Mushrooms, Shilajit, and synergistic blends in BioBlue’s new Fountain of Youth supplement
Big Unknowns: What researchers still don’t know about mitochondrial fusion, fission, and their roles in disease
“The more energy we produce per cell, the healthier we are. Less energy brings us closer to disease.”
“Thoughts and emotions literally shape your mitochondrial health by imprinting on the water in your body.”
“Methylene blue can literally restore energy production in a dysfunctional mitochondrion.”
Key Quotes from Don Bailey
“I love this rapid-fire style — it keeps us moving from question to question, making it easier to grab key nuggets.”
“That’s why I talk on speakerphone all the time — I don’t want my mitochondria fried by EMFs.”
