Minerals: The Ultimate Approach to Redox, Detox & Gut Health


Episode 239


In this week’s solo episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski introduces a brand-new addition to what he calls the Mitochondrial Matrix: minerals. Often overlooked in the world of biohacking, minerals are the true foundation of energy production, cellular repair, and mitochondrial performance.

 

Dr. Mike dives deep into the biophysics of mineralization — why trace minerals like magnesium, copper, iron, and selenium are indispensable for redox balance, ATP synthesis, and overall cellular vitality. You’ll learn how mineral depletion from modern farming and processed foods is silently driving fatigue, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction — and how to rebuild that foundation with the right forms of mineral support.

 

This episode also unpacks the three pillars of mineralization — Folic Acid, Humic Acid, and Marine Minerals—revealing how each uniquely restores redox balance, enhances detoxification, and recharges your mitochondria. Plus, Dr. Mike announces BioLight’s newest supplement, BioMinerals, combining all three of these powerhouse ingredients in one synergistic formula.

 

Expect an eye-opening blend of ancient wisdom, modern biophysics, and practical strategies for anyone looking to upgrade their biology from the inside out.

Key Topics Covered
  • Why minerals are the unsung heroes of mitochondrial energy

  • The connection between mineralization and redox potential

  • How folic acid enhances nutrient absorption and mitochondrial performance

  • The gut-protective power of humic acid and Shilajit

  • The mitochondrial synergy between minerals, CoQ10, and energy production

  • How marine minerals (like Quinton seawater) mirror human plasma

  • Introducing BioMinerals: the most comprehensive mineral elixir for cellular energy

  • A “low and consistent” approach to consistent re-mineralization for long-term vitality

Key Quotes from Dr. Mike

 

“Minerals might sound boring — but they’re foundational to energy itself.” “Your mitochondria run on electrons, and minerals are their conductors.” “A mineralized body is an energized body.” “BioMinerals is essentially Powerade on steroids — but without the sugar and with real science.” Episode Timeline
