In this powerhouse episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski welcomes high-performance coach Brian Buck, former MLB athlete and biomechanics/data training expert, to talk all things injury recovery, performance optimization, and the often-overlooked power of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training.

They dive deep into how BFR is revolutionizing not only rehab but also daily performance and muscle growth, especially when paired with modalities like red light therapy and methylene blue. Brian breaks down how he uses BFR with NFL players like Myles Garrett, how it’s helping him recover from a torn pec, and why it’s going to be mainstream in the coming years.

Expect an energetic deep dive into soft tissue health, fascia-focused recovery, and how data-driven training is redefining human performance. If you’re serious about longevity, athletic recovery, or optimizing your health — this one’s a must-listen.

In this re-released solo episode from 2023, Dr. Mike Belkowski revisits one of the most pivotal topics in the world of mitochondrial health: methylene blue. As interest in this powerful compound continues to grow, Dr. Mike brings back an essential conversation outlining its top ten benefits — from brain function and mood to immune support to antiviral activity and beyond!

He also shares exciting updates about the future of the podcast, including a rebrand launching in August and a major expansion of the Mitochondrial Triad into the Mitochondrial Core Four. You’ll also hear about BioLight’s newest supplement, BioBlue Fountain of Youth, and how combining methylene blue with red light therapy can lead to powerful healing synergy.

Whether you’re brand new to methylene blue or a longtime user, this episode will deepen your understanding of why this blue dye might just be the missing link in your health toolkit. If you care about energy, mood, memory, immunity — or just want to future-proof your brain — this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss!

Key Quotes from Dr. Mike Belkowski:

“Red light therapy and methylene blue on their own are powerful tools. But when you use them together, you’re getting a synergistic benefit that may be unmatched in the world of mitochondrial health.”

“The more I read, the more I research, the more I realize: this compound that started as a dye might be one of the most important mitochondrial tools we have.”

“Methylene blue has been around since the 19th century. It’s safe, it’s effective, and the amount of research backing its antiviral, neuroprotective, and metabolic benefits is staggering.”

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 coherence

This 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.
