Food Versus Supplement: Why Supplementation Wins

This is the #2 episode from 2025. Enjoy!

-

In this inaugural episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski officially launches the podcast’s next evolution—expanding beyond red light therapy into a broader framework of mitochondrial health, performance, and longevity.

 

Dr. Mike explains why The Red Light Report is rebranding and how this new chapter will embrace the Mitochondrial Matrix—a flexible, expanding framework of modalities, molecules, and lifestyle strategies designed to upgrade your cellular energy system.

 

At the heart of this episode is a deep dive into urolithin A and B, two emerging powerhouse compounds shown to activate mitophagy, optimize mitochondrial efficiency, support muscle strength, and even protect against neurodegeneration and osteoarthritis. You’ll learn how these metabolites—found in pomegranates but best delivered in supplement form—fit into the mitochondrial matrix, and why they may become a cornerstone for anti-aging and vitality.

 

Finally, Dr. Mike introduces BioLithin, BioLight’s brand-new supplement that combines high-purity urolithin A, urolithin B, and taurine from pomegranate peel for unmatched mitochondrial support.

 

Expect both a big-picture reframe of the podcast’s mission and practical insights into how to leverage cutting-edge science to keep your mitochondria young, strong, and resilient.

Key Topics Covered:

• Why The Red Light Report is evolving into The Energy Code

• The shift from the Mitochondrial Triad to the Mitochondrial Matrix

• What mitophagy is and why it’s critical for health and longevity

• How urolithin A and B enhance mitochondrial function, strength, and resilience

• The latest research on urolithins for anti-aging, cancer, cognition, and anxiety

• Why supplement sourcing (pomegranate peel vs. juice) matters for efficacy

• The launch of BioLithin: the first supplement to combine urolithin A, urolithin B, and taurine

Key Quotes from Dr. Mike:

• “Urolithin A doesn’t hype your mitochondria—it housekeeps them.”

• “Strength loss is one of the biggest contributors to aging. If urolithin B helps maintain muscle, that’s a game-changer.”

• “Instead of chasing the next biohack, we’re building the Mitochondrial Matrix—a foundation you can layer for compounding benefits.”

• “With the right tools, your body knows how to heal. All we’re doing is fueling the mitochondria to do their job.”

⚡️ NEW PRODUCT FROM BIOLIGHT!! ⚡️

Introducing....  BioLithin!!!

  Your cells are powered by mitochondria — the tiny engines that produce the energy you need to move, think, and thrive. As we age, mitochondrial efficiency naturally declines, which can affect everything from vitality and stamina to how quickly you recover.

 

Unlike most supplements that focus only on Urolithin A, BioLithin pairs Urolithin A and Urolithin B with taurine, creating a more comprehensive approach to mitochondrial optimization. This three-pronged formula is designed for individuals seeking to maximize their energy, longevity, and daily performance at the cellular level.   Why Choose BioLithin?

• • • Dual-action urolithins (A + B) from pomegranate peel
    • Synergistic taurine for mitochondrial resilience
    • Clean, effective, and science-driven formulation
    • Made for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, and anyone looking to sustain their cellular energy over time
