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.

Mitochondria 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.”

“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.”
