How Antioxidants and the Body's Own Defenses Work

In this week’s episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski is joined by BioLight CMO Don Bailey, who takes over the mic to ask Dr. Mike the questions you’ve always wanted answered about one of the most foundational — yet misunderstood — pillars of health: redox potential.

 

What exactly is redox potential, and how does it impact your energy, aging, and healing? Dr. Mike breaks down how the modern world drains your body of electrons — and what you can do to recharge. From oxidative stress to grounding, water quality to quantum tunneling, this conversation connects the dots between light, electricity, and vitality at a cellular level.

 

Expect a powerful exploration of how redox balance determines everything from mitochondrial function to mood, recovery, and longevity — and practical tools to raise your “internal charge.”

Key Topics Covered

 

Redox Potential 101 – What it means, how it’s measured in millivolts, and why “more negative” means better health.

Oxidation vs. Reduction – How too much oxidation leads to stress and disease, and how balance is key to healing.

Modern Electron Deficiency – The surprising ways EMFs, processed food, poor water, and even emotions strip electrons.

The Mitochondrial Connection – Why improving redox potential automatically enhances energy production and longevity.

Breathing, Stress & Redox – How proper breathing, meditation, and HRV impact your cellular charge.

Antioxidants & Electrons – Why 90%+ of your antioxidant power comes from your body — not your diet.

Quantum Biology & Energy Medicine – Exploring the quantum spin and tunneling that link methylene blue and mitochondrial repair.

Everyday Upgrades – Simple habits to raise your redox potential: grounding, sunlight, hydration, and better sleep.

Key Quotes

 

Dr. Mike Belkowski:

 

“Anything that’s inherently bad for your health is lowering your redox potential. Anything that’s health-promoting is giving you electrons and raising it.” “Low redox potential means low healing capacity. High redox potential means vitality.” “Modern living steals electrons — from EMFs to stress to poor water. If you don’t replace them, you’re running on empty.”

 

Don Bailey:
