April 18, 2024Learning From the Experts: Water For Optimal Health & Wellness
I just got back from San Diego where I attended an outstanding "meeting of the minds" water summit put on by Tracy Duhs. I walked in with a respect for water and its importance for our health; I left with a reverence for water and its role it plays in all aspects of life. It's simply mind-blowing!

Tracy corralled the top researchers and thought leaders in the water space and had me wrap up the weekend by presenting on red light therapy. While listening to presentations, I recorded video clips that I was posting to my personal Instagram stories (@dr.mikebelkowski) all weekend. I thought it would be fun if I shared those clips with you in a podcast episode so that you could be a fly on the wall and listen in on some of the presentations.

In today's episode, you will hear audio clips from the following experts that presented at the HYDRATE Summit: Geoffrey Montague-Smith, Dr. Gerald Pollack, Veda Austin, Tyler LaBaron, Carrie Bennett, Dr. Roumiana Tsenkova, Robert Gourlay and Robert Slovak. Needless to say, you're about to listen to the absolute BEST of the best! Enjoy learning about water and the many ways it impacts our wellness.

If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)

As always, light up your health!

April 11, 2024The Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocol Ecosystem
Developing a red light therapy treatment protocol has never been so easy and individualized! My passion project for the last 6 - 10 months has been putting together an ecosystem that will allow anyone with any type of red light therapy device from any company to easily and accurately produce a protocol based on what they are trying to treat. At the end of the day, I believe that this tool will become ubiquitous amongst the red light therapy space — from those using RLT on themselves all the way to physicians and medical facilities utilizing RLT for their patients.

As it currently stands, people have been typically been provided with the archaic advice of, "Do red light therapy 20 - 30 minutes every day!" But what if one person has a higher-powered RLT panel or laser compared to someone that has a lower-powered RLT or handheld device? What if someone is utilizing RLT for anti-aging skin versus someone employing RLT for dementia or TBI? Let's not forget that every single person responds to a given treatment differently! So a blanketed statement of advice, such as the one above, never made sense to me.

Thus, I set out to develop protocols that you have all seen in the first four editions of the eBook. But it hit me last year that while that was a great step in the right direction, it still handcuffed a lot of people because those protocols are essentially centered around a particular light irradiance. So I set out to create the ecosystem that is being released today that, again, allows a person with any type of RLT device to produce an effective, nuanced protocol based on what they are trying to treat. Listen to the episode to learn more details!

April 04, 2024Research: Methylene Blue For TBI, Brain Ischemia & Alzheimer's; Antioxidant Therapeutics Targeting the Mitochondria For TBI
The average brain weighs about three pounds (less than 2% of the average human weight), yet it accounts for about 20% of the body's total energy consumption. That inherently means the brain is extremely mitochondrial dense, as the mitochondria produce ~95% of all the energy in body. Ok, so all numbers aside, the brain is an immensely important organ from a health, energy and, thus, mitochondrial perspective. That means we need to have strategies in place for both acute trauma to the brain and for chronic conditions like neurodegeneration.

In today's solosode, we will review two hot-off-the-press articles that happen to surround this very topic. The first article looks at the potential of methylene blue (MB) as a key substance that can effectively address three exceptionally varying brain conditions: traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), ischemia and Alzheimer's disease. At the end of the day, MB has a profound role to play in all of those ailments.

The second article hones in on TBIs and antioxidant therapeutics that specifically target the mitochondria. Based on the abundant information provided in the article (albeit they did not include MB or C60 as an antioxidant strategy; I imagine there results would be even more staggering if they did!), it is quite clear that even in an acute injury, such as TBI, the mitochondria play an ever central role — in this case, both the damage from the physical trauma and also the healing and recovery process.

Hint hint: we already know that red light therapy is becoming widely accepted as an effective modality for treating head traumas, such as concussions, TBIs, etc,. Now we have this new research looking at the impact of antioxidant therapeutics that target the mitochondria. Antioxidants donate electrons. Methylene blue and C60 are some of the best electron donors available as therapeutics. However, unlike most other antioxidants, both MB and C60 can actually get inside the mitochondria. The Mitochondrial Triad has a massive role to play here!

March 28, 2024Research: Benefits of C60, Red Light Therapy Reduces Time in ICU & Photobiomodulation of Dysmenorrhea
Did you know C60 can be beneficial for the health of dogs and other pets just like it is for humans? It should make sense, as, after all, our pet / family members have mitochondria just like us! I've personally been giving my german shepherd some BioC60 in the morning and evening with his meals. But now there is some interesting research demonstrating that C60 mixed in oil can significantly reduce the blood levels of CRP in dogs, which is a blood marker for inflammation.

In today's episode, I review that very study on C60 and also discuss how different types of oils (i.e., MCT oil vs. avocado oil vs. olive oil) allow for different concentration levels of C60. Do you know which oil allows for maximal C60 concentration? That same article also looks at C60 for skin health and demonstrates many ways that carbon 60 can augment our integumentary system.

I also review two photobiomodulation studies that are hot off the press and published this year: one that looks at how red light therapy can reduce the stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) by 30% and another that provides compelling evidence for red light therapy to reduce pain associated with dysmenorrhea.

Lastly, I cover a german article published last month that suggests that dysfunctional mitochondria may play a large role in individuals dealing with migraines. And if that is truly the case, it would make sense that methylene blue would have a major role to play by reversing the energy crisis caused by dysfunctional mitochondria

March 21, 2024A Methylene Blue (and Leucomethylene Blue) Conversation w/ Dr. Yoshi Rahm
As methylene blue becomes more and more popular, it becomes paramount to seek out and learn from trusted sources and experts in the area. Luckily, I was able to sit down and have a fireside chat with the highly-respected and sought out osteopathic family physician, Dr. Yoshi Rahm. What I appreciate about Dr. Yoshi is that he not only speaks about methylene blue from a high-level, didactic perspective, but he can offer invaluable insight and wisdom since he utilizes IV methylene blue with his patients in his clinic. What Dr. Yoshi really drives home about methylene blue is really just how safe it is, even at doses much higher than you would expect!

Thanks to our mutual connection of Dr. Katie Carter, whom plays host in this episode and suggested that Dr. Yoshi and I meet and discuss all things methylene blue, we have an engaging and spirited discussion about methylene blue and also leucomethylene blue, which Dr. Yoshi was less familiar with due to their being a lack of available product on the market (until BioBlue Leuco!). We also cover other topics, such as the new RLT treatment protocol ecosystem I am about to release and why I believe it will become a ubiquitous tool and resource for anyone and everyone that utilizes red light therapy.

My hope is that you come away from this conversation with more excitement, belief and/or trust in methylene blue after listening and learning from Dr. Yoshi. He is a wealth of knowledge and I have no doubt we will be having more of these conversations on the podcast in the future.

I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Dr. Yoshi Rahm. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

As always, learn lots and light up your health!

March 07, 2024The Mitochondrial Theory of Aging & the Top 10 Health Benefits of the Third Pillar of The Mitochondrial Triad
With the full reveal of The Mitochondrial Triad coming soon, it begs the question: why do I believe the focal point of our health, wellness, and, more precisely, our longevity is centered around or organelle friends, the mitochondria? And with the first two pillars being disclosed, in red light therapy and methylene blue, what is the third pillar? All of these questions are answered in today's solosode!

For decades, the primary thesis for why we age was The Free Radical Theory of aging. However, this doesn't hold up in instances where someone consistently exercises (and, thus, produces more ATP that inherently produces more of the natural byproduct of free radicals) that leads to health- and longevity-promoting benefits. That's where The Mitochondrial Theory of Aging emerges and is currently the most respected postulation on why we age. However, the first rendition of this theory still included free radicals as a main culprit for aging; this was remedied in the second version, which removed free radicals as the central causation for aging and suggested the main source was in the numerous mechanisms lying within the mitochondria. Ultimately, this is the genesis that fuels the importance of The Mitochondrial Triad.

After a thorough discussion on The Mitochondrial Theory of Aging, I cover the third pillar of The Mitochondrial Triad! I dive into the top 10 health benefits and numerous other health benefits that have been proven out in the research. Disclaimer: I never say the actual name of the third pillar and refer to it in this portion of the episode as, "the thing." Yes, I know... very descriptive. But you didn't think I would actually reveal it yet, did you?! We'll save that for next week's episode...

I hope you enjoy the information in today's solosode. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

As always, light up your health!

February 29, 2024Circadian Health, Quantum Biology & Leptin Sensitivity w/ Sarah Kleiner
I jump at any chance I get to listen, learn and converse with an expert in the area of circadian and quantum health. Luckily, one of my favorite educators in this domain, Sarah Kleiner, was available to sit down for an engaging chat. Sarah is phenomenal at breaking down rather complex subjects and lucidly explaining the "low hanging fruit" of quantum health with such simplicity, even a cave man could do it! Yes, pun intended.

In today's conversation, we cover an array of topics ranging from morning routines and sun exposure to the importance of eating breakfast and leptin sensitivity to red light therapy's impact on wellness to the role of mitochondria in quantum health to a relatively new theory showing that deuterium-depleted water may be a more important end-product of oxidative phosphorylation than ATP (yes, that token of energy)... and much, much more!

Sarah Kleiner is a Quantum Health Coach with the Quantum Biology Collective (levels 1 & 2), a Certified Nutrition Coach with NASM, and just completed the New Biology Curriculum with Dr. Tom Cowan. Sarah has over 14 years of experience working one on one with clients to optimize nutrition, lifestyle & mindset. Her goal is to shift the paradigm when it comes to circadian rhythms, health & light, and help people integrate these principles into their lives in a modern world.

As I mention in this episode, Sarah has a monumental archive of quantum and circadian health education on her Instagram feed (@sarahkleinerwellness) that you could spend days and days sifting through and learning to your heart's content.... which I highly, highly recommend you do. She also has amazing free education and deeper dives via her courses that can be found on her website (link can be found in the podcast show notes).

I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Sarah Kleiner. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

As always, learn lots and light up your health!

February 22, 2024The Mitochondrial Triad & Killing a Virus in 48 Hours w/ Methylene Blue
There seems to be another wicked virus going around and I seemed to find (or, more accurately, it found me) during my trip to Seattle. Luckily, I had packed my BioBlue Leuco! So while it was a miserable experience consisting of intense full-body aches, zero appetite, extremely low energy and the inability to sleep because of those aforementioned symptoms, it provided me with an amazing methylene blue, or in this case leucomethylene blue, anecdote. Compared to the typical recovery time of 4 - 7 days or more, getting back to my normal self in 48 hours was nothing short of astounding. So I felt compelled to share that story with you guys today.

For quite some time now, I have been working on a concept that is predicated on all of the information I have been absorbing for the past 5+ years about optimizing health, wellness and longevity. And based on my synthesis of all of this information, and information I continue to learn on a daily basis, it has become abundantly clear that the lowest hanging fruit and the ultimate root source of our health and vitality is (surprise, surprise): mitochondrial function.

With that being said, in today's episode I reveal my conceptualization: The Mitochondrial Triad. As the name implies, there are three pillars to this triad. Listen to find out what they are!

I hope you enjoy the information in today's solosode. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

As always, light up your health!

February 15, 2024Red Light Therapy & Acupuncture, Fascia & Cupping: A Deep Dive into Health Strategies w/ Dr. Chris Motley
The more and more I learn about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture, the more I am intrigued and it just makes intuitive sense. It also helps when you learn this deep and complex knowledge from someone as intelligent and articulate as (now) three-time guest, Dr. Chris Motley. Long-time listeners of the show are familiar with Dr. Motley and his amazing command and intuition when it comes to TCM and other holistic modalities; new listeners.... you are in for a treat! He is by far one of my favorite humans to talk with, on and off the mic.

Dr. Motley not only speaks from his depth of learning the information, but even more so from hands-on experience from his full day's of treating patients. During our conversation today, he details some fascinating discoveries he's made via experimenting with red light therapy and acupuncture points; he has observed some profound results particularly with viruses!

We also take a deep dive into the importance of our fascial system and why it is a crucial (and, unfortunately, a highly underrated and overlooked organ system) facet of our overall wellbeing. Most commonly known for playing a major role in our mobility and flexibility, the fascia plays a much deeper role in our vitality. Dr. Motley and I also discuss the invaluable role that cupping plays in optimizing fascial health, which leads to innumerable benefits that we detail during our talk.

We also delve into some intriguing topics that are of special interest to Dr. Motley currently, including psychological aspect of physiological growth, the connection between psychological stress and organ growth patterns and the exploration of devices that detect static charges on the skin for diagnostic purposes

I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Dr. Motely. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

As always, learn lots and light up your health!
