Research: Urolithin A — Game-Changer for Nerve Regeneration & Immune Rejuvenation
In this solo episode of The Energy Code, Mike dives into two cutting-edge studies that expand the already impressive profile of Urolithin A, the postbiotic powerhouse derived from pomegranate. The first paper explores how Urolithin A promotes peripheral nerve regeneration via TFEB-mediated mitophagy and suppression of the NLRP3 inflammasome, while the second study—a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in humans—uncovers Urolithin A’s ability to rejuvenate the immune system by increasing naive CD8+ T cells, boosting fatty acid oxidation, and reprogramming immune gene expression.   Key topics include: The dual role of Urolithin A in nerve repair: clearing damaged mitochondria & suppressing inflammation Why mitophagy is a linchpin in mitochondrial health, longevity, and disease prevention How TFEB acts as a master switch for cellular detox and mitochondrial renewal New clinical data showing Urolithin A’s impact on immune cell function and inflammatory aging Why mitochondrial-targeted compounds (Urolithin A, methylene blue, PQQ, etc.) are foundational to healthspan   Plus, Mike teases the release of two new BioBlue formulations — BioBlue Lite and BioBlue Leuco Lite — featuring a simplified formula of just deuterium-depleted water and pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue or leucomethylene blue.   🔗 Listen now to get a front-row seat to the future of mitochondrial medicine and discover why Urolithin A may be one of the most versatile compounds in the longevity space.   Key Quotes from Dr. Mike “Urolithin A isn’t just for energy. It’s a bioenergetic modulator that may influence neuroregeneration, immune aging, and so much more.”   “Mitophagy is one of the most underrated physiological processes in the longevity space. Without it, you’re just accumulating dysfunctional mitochondria—and that’s a recipe for decline.”   “This human trial shows that Urolithin A doesn’t just change immune cell counts—it reprograms their gene expression toward a younger, more resilient state.”   “We think of each of these mitochondrial compounds—Urolithin A, methylene blue, PQQ—as doing one thing. But the ripple effect is massive. Fix the mitochondria and you fix everything downstream.” Episode Timeline 00:00 – Intro + BioBlue Announcements   04:10 – Study #1: Urolithin A and Peripheral Nerve Regeneration   07:18 – Mechanism: TFEB, Mitophagy, and NLRP3 Inflammasome   11:36 – Study Results and Implications for Nerve Healing   14:50 – Expanding the Lens: Mitochondrial Compounds Beyond Energy   17:18 – What is TFEB and Why It Matters   20:02 – Study #2: Urolithin A and Immune Rejuvenation in Humans   23:40 – Metabolic Reprogramming of the Immune System   26:30 – Key Takeaways + Big Picture Insights   28:40 – Final Thoughts + What’s Coming Next Resources & References Urolithin A promotes peripheral nerve regeneration via TFEB-mediated mitophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome suppression Journal: International Immunopharmacology Published: October 30, 2025 Key Insight: Urolithin A enhances sciatic nerve repair in rats by activating TFEB-driven mitophagy and suppressing neuroinflammation.   Effect of the mitophagy inducer Urolithin A on age-related immune decline: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial Journal: Nature Aging (or equivalent high-impact journal, assumed from context) Published: October 31, 2025 Key Insight: Four weeks of 1,000 mg/day Urolithin A in healthy middle-aged adults improved CD8+ T cell profiles, immune metabolism, and mitochondrial biogenesis.  🔥 Fire Sale!!! 🔥 As we prepare for the official launch of our updated, upgraded BioBlue formula, we are having a 35% fire sale for the remaining outstanding inventory of the original BioBlue liquid supplements. First come, first serve until we run out of inventory!   This 35% Fire Sale are THE BEST prices that will ever be available for BioBlue liquid supplements. (Fire Sale discount applies only to the four BioBlue liquid supplements)We anticipate to quickly sell out

The New Era of BioBlue: Inside the Upgraded Mitochondrial Formula
In this solosode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike unveils the most comprehensive update yet to BioLight’s flagship supplement — BioBlue — and takes listeners deep inside the quantum bioenergetic thinking that shaped its redesign. What began as a methylene-blue-based mitochondrial catalyst has evolved into a next-generation longevity systemintegrating deuterium-depleted water, elevated NMN, taurine, and trace gold-silver resonance compounds.   Dr. Mike breaks down the science and reasoning behind each refinement: why Litewater’s 10 ppm deuterium-depleted water now forms the clean matrix for all BioBlue liquids, how NMN has been increased ten-fold (10 mg → 100 mg) to meaningfully expand NAD⁺ pools and drive biogenesis, and how taurine stabilizes mitochondrial membranes and calcium signaling for endurance and resilience. He explains the subtle yet powerful tweaks — like a 50 % increase in colloidal gold and silver and a 40 % reduction in fulvic acid — that sharpen redox coherence and enhance longevity signaling.   Dr. Mike dives into: Overview of how BioBlue progressed from a simple methylene-blue solution to a full mitochondrial optimization system. Why all BioBlue liquids now utilizes Litewater for cleaner proton flow and improved ATP efficiency. Why NMN increased from 10 mg → 100 mg per dose to meaningfully raise NAD⁺ levels, drive biogenesis, and enhance DNA repair. Why the addition of Taurine – 100 mg per serving for membrane stability, calcium regulation, and long-term mitochondrial resilience. Enhanced Trace Elements – 50 % more colloidal gold & silver plus refined fulvic acid for smoother redox flow and higher photodynamic efficiency.   This episode isn’t just about formulation — it’s about why every molecule matters in the pursuit of mitochondrial efficiency, redox stability, and long-term cellular youthfulness. Mike also previews BioLight’s upcoming new website, pre-Black-Friday event, and a soon-to-launch BioBlue Lite product line for those seeking simplicity without compromise.   Key Topics Covered Evolution of BioBlue — from the original methylene blue + NMN formula to a comprehensive mitochondrial optimization system. Integration of Deuterium-Depleted Water (Litewater, 10 ppm) — explanation of how lowering deuterium enhances ATP production, redox efficiency, and longevity potential. NMN Upgrade (10× Increase) — new 100 mg per serving dosage for boosting NAD⁺ levels, mitochondrial biogenesis, DNA repair, and energy metabolism. Addition of Taurine (100 mg per serving) — supports membrane integrity, calcium balance, ROS buffering, and cellular longevity signaling. Enhanced Colloidal Gold & Silver (50 % Increase) — improved redox stability, electron flow, and photodynamic synergy with methylene blue and red light. Refined Wu Jin Sun Fulvic Acid (−40 %) — optimizes redox balance and mineral transport while improving synergy between all active compounds. Comprehensive Mitochondrial Benefits — improved ATP efficiency, autophagy, and mitochondrial biogenesis for cleaner, more resilient energy production. New Product Lineup — introduction of BioBlue Lite and BioBlue Leuco Lite (simplified methylene blue + water versions) for accessible mitochondrial support. Key Quotes from Dr. Mike   “Deuterium-depleted water doesn’t just make the mitochondria go faster—it helps them run truer, cleaner, and more efficiently.”   “We’ve moved BioBlue from a trace metabolic nudge to a real mitochondrial optimization protocol that supports redox cycling, biogenesis, and longevity pathways in a quantifiable way.”   “Taurine turns BioBlue from a fast-acting energy compound into a cellular longevity stack—supporting repair, recycling, and resilience.”   “By increasing colloidal gold and silver within their optimal bio-signal zones, BioBlue transforms from a chemical redox supplement into a biophysical energy transducer.”   “Each change — from Litewater to taurine — was made to help your mitochondria run longer, clean

Lee’s newly released book, The Mitochondriac Manifesto 2, Dr. Mike unpacks the concept of mitophysics — the physics of the mitochondria and our connection to sun, earth, water, and magnetism. He explains why biophysics sits above food, exercise, and even genetics, and how ignoring these primary forces has led to widespread chronic disease and dysfunction.​   This episode also dives into the six mitochondrial pillars: light and circadian alignment, nutrition and molecules, stressors and adaptation, sleep and recovery, environmental inputs, and mind and nervous system. You’ll hear practical strategies to integrate morning sunlight, red and near-infrared light, clean water, EMF mitigation, breathwork, and more into a mitochondria-centered lifestyle.     Expect both a big-picture paradigm shift and a toolkit of actionable health strategies designed to help you protect, support, challenge, and align your mitochondria for limitless vitality. Key Topics Covered: Why mitochondrial foundations matter more than “shiny object” health hacks How metaphysics reframes human health through light, water, and magnetism The six pillars of mitochondrial optimization and their practical strategies Why bio-individuality shapes how we respond to red light therapy, fasting, and more The dangers of over-supplementation (including melatonin) How EMF mitigation, grounding, and circadian alignment directly impact energy The philosophy of “protect, support, challenge, align” for mitochondrial sovereignty Key Quotes from Dr. Mike: “Your body isn’t defective. More often than not, it’s your environment that’s broken.” “Psychological stress is a mitochondrial toxin. Calm states optimize energy efficiency.” “When you protect, support, challenge, and align your mitochondria, you reclaim sovereignty over your health.” “Biophysics is the boss in charge of all biology — everything else takes orders from it.” Episode Timeline:   00:00 – Welcome + why mitochondrial foundations matter 03:00 – Introducing Mitochondria Manifesto 2 14:00 – Biophysics as the “boss” of biology 20:00 – Metaphysics explained: light, water, magnetism & circadian rhythms 22:00 – Six environmental disruptors sabotaging mitochondrial health 26:00 – Why your body isn’t broken—it’s your environment 31:00 – Health is no longer a hobby in a 5G world 39:00 – The six mitochondrial pillars + practical tools 45:00 – Sleep, melatonin, and why supplementation may backfire 48:00 – EMF hygiene and mitochondrial protection 51:00 – Breathwork, vagus nerve, and stress management 53:00 – Closing philosophy: protect, support, challenge, align Resources & References: The Mitochondriac Manifesto 2 - R.

Connecting the Dots with TCM and Mitochondria, Magnetism, & Gut Health w/ Dr. Chris Motley
In this episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with Dr. Chris Motley, a renowned expert in frequency-based medicine and vibrational health. The conversation dives deep into how the body communicates through electrical and energetic signals, and how emotions, pathogens, and toxins disrupt these natural frequencies—ultimately impacting mitochondrial function, chronic illness, and overall health.Dr. Motley introduces the concept of biological resonance, where the body either syncs or falls out of harmony with its environment. He shares how frequency diagnostics and therapies—like sound therapy, Rife frequencies, and muscle testing—can help uncover and treat hidden imbalances. Together, they explore the Eastern and Western integration of medicine, highlighting the importance of energy meridians, the liver’s role in mitochondrial signaling, and how emotions like fear and anger are stored in organ systems.Key topics include:• The connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and trapped emotional energy• How pathogens like Lyme and mold distort biological frequency• Why liver and gallbladder imbalances often precede systemic mitochondrial stress• The use of vibrational therapies, including tuning forks and lasers, in clinical healing• The role of frequencies in detoxification, trauma healing, and bioenergetic coherenceThis episode is a fascinating blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science, offering listeners a fresh lens through which to view energy, health, and longevity.

Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health! - Key Quotes from Dr. Chris Motley: “Mitochondria are like antennas. They pick up signals from pathogens, food, and emotions. If they’re overwhelmed, they stop sending coherent messages.” “The body remembers. If someone hasn’t processed grief, it might be stored in their lungs or colon, showing up as chronic inflammation or fatigue.”“If we can identify the frequency a pathogen or trauma emits, we can match or cancel it, just like noise-canceling headphones.”   “Mold and Lyme don’t just infect—they distort your body’s frequency. That’s why they’re so hard to detect and treat with conventional methods.”“If we can identify the frequency a pathogen or trauma emits, we can match or cancel it, just like noise-canceling headphones.” - Key points: 00:00 – Introduction: Dr. Chris Motley Returns for Fourth Episode01:44 – Building a Friendship Through Shared Health Passion02:33 – Biohacking Conferences: Trends and Insights03:09 – Blood Flow and Longevity in Biohacking04:14 – Chronic Infections and Blood Clotting Issues05:34 – Red Light’s Impact on Blood Health and Cardiovascular Benefits06:56 – BioCharger: Light and Frequency Healing Technology08:18 – Anecdotal Success with BioCharger for Parasites10:03 – Genetic Testing for Personalized Health Solutions13:46 – Genetic Testing for Hair and Skin Health15:15 – Molecular Hydrogen: Benefits and Emerging Devices18:29 – Challenges with Subpar Health Products in the Market21:04 – Importance of Trustworthy Health Products and Testing24:21 – BioLight’s Upcoming Scientific Studies on Products27:34 – Red and Blue Light Toothbrush for Oral Health31:12 – TCM: Teeth, Kidneys, and Meridian Connections36:50 – Light Therapy’s Impact on Kidney and Adrenal Health39:11 – Oral Health and Its Link to Brain Function43:40 – Gut Health’s Role in Kidney and Bladder Issues47:09 – Neti Pot and Red Light for Sinus Health51:39 – Gut-Brain Connection and Glyphosate’s Impact54:13 – TCM Approach to Healing Leaky Gut58:58 – Glyphosate’s Effect on Copper and Joint Health01:03:54 – Magnetism’s Role in Detox and Mitochondrial Health01:07:06 – Schumann Resonance and Health Impacts of Low Magnetism01:10:12 – Magnetic S
