Urolithin A: Mitophagy & Biogenesis

In this week’s Energy Code episode, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with returning co-host Don Bailey for a deep-dive “year in review” — breaking down BioLight’s explosive year of innovation, the science behind the brand’s newest product line, and the mitochondrial philosophy shaping BioLight’s future.

 

Together, they unpack how BioLight evolved from red-light therapy devices into a full-stack mitochondrial optimization company, why autophagy and muscle preservation matter more than ever, and how ingredients like methylene blue, taurine, urolithin A/B, fulvic & humic acids, and deuterium-depleted water are transforming the way the health world thinks about energy.

 

From conference breakthroughs to updated branding, from the creation of BioLithin to the launch of BioMinerals and Litewater integrations — this episode reveals the why behind every major BioLight decision of 2024–2025. It’s the most comprehensive look yet into the science-driven ethos powering the Energy Code.

🔬 In This Episode, Dr.  Mike & Don Cover:

⚡ The moment that sparked everything: Don’s “eureka” mitochondrial experience with hydrogen + methylene blue

🧬 Why mitochondria decline with age — and how BioLight’s product stack addresses each pillar
