In this week’s episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski takes listeners on a fascinating deep-dive into the origins, science, and cutting-edge clinical research behind deuterium-depleted water (DDW) — specifically Litewater, the most depleted DDW on the planet at just 10 ppm.   Drawing from a decades-long historical arc, from the Big Bang to Soviet gerontology labs to modern mitochondrial biochemistry, Dr. Mike breaks down how deuterium impacts ATP production, aging, longevity, cancer metabolism, and cellular repair. He also explains why deuterium depletion may be one of the strongest yet overlooked tools for increasing mitochondrial function and long-term resilience.   Listeners also get a rare behind-the-scenes look at Victor Sagalovsky’s A Brief History of Deuterium-Depleted Water and the scientific breakthroughs that shaped the modern DDW field. Dr. Mike shares how BioLight’s updated BioBlue formulas now use 100% Litewater, and why lowering deuterium levels below 120 ppm may be a cornerstone of anti-aging protocols.

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

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
