The Six Pillars of Mitochondrial Health
17 minutes ago
17 minutes ago
In this deep-dive episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski takes you beyond the basics to explore why mitochondrial function is the true driver of health—and disease. After contrasting centralized vs. decentralized health paradigms, he reveals the root causes and systemic effects of mitochondrial dysfunction, using vivid analogies like “rocks in a river” to explain electron leakage and oxidative stress. From there, Mike unpacks the Six Pillars of Mitochondrial Health:
1. Energy Production – ATP synthesis & structured “EZ” water batteries
2. Biogenesis – Growing new mitochondria via PGC-1α, NRF1/2, TFAM
3. Mitophagy – Recycling damaged mitochondria through PINK1/Parkin
4. Fusion/Fission – Dynamic balancing of mitochondrial networks
5. Oxidative Stress Protection – Internal and supplemental antioxidants
6. Light Interaction – How red/NIR light supercharges bioenergetics
Along the way, learn why methylene blue and red light therapy are synergistic brain- and mitochondria-boosters, why proper breathing and oxygen availability are non-negotiable, and how lifestyle tactics—from grounding to sun exposure—tie back to cellular power. Mike closes with a sneak peek at an upcoming all-in-one mitochondrial optimization product designed to tackle all six pillars at once.

Thursday Apr 17, 2025
In this episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski returns fresh from the Health Optimization Summit in Austin, Texas, where he reconnected with the vibrant biohacking community. While the event buzz was exciting, Dr. Mike dives right back into what he does best: breaking down cutting-edge research in mitochondrial health and red light therapy.
Key Topics Covered:
1. The Mitochondria–Gut Microbiota–Cardiovascular Axis
Dr. Mike reviews a pre-release study that uncovers the two-way relationship between our gut microbes and mitochondrial function. Disruptions here may fuel inflammation and oxidative stress, leading to cardiovascular disease. The fix? Support both systems with red light therapy, methylene blue, probiotics, and lifestyle upgrades.
2. Phytochemicals & Gut Health
A second study emphasizes how plant compounds like polyphenols and phytochemicals can rebalance gut flora and reduce inflammation. The takeaway: what we eat shapes our gut — and therefore our aging process and mitochondrial efficiency.
3. Red Light Therapy for the Gut-Brain Axis
Dr. Mike explores three new studies showing that red and near-infrared light applied to the abdomen can:
• Boost beneficial gut bacteria
• Improve cognitive and motor function (even in Parkinson’s patients)
• Decrease harmful microbes
He shares exact dosages and frequencies from the research — including exciting applications of pulsed frequencies (e.g., 700Hz) and intranasal photobiomodulation.
4. BioLight’s New Methylene Blue Blend – BioBlue
Mike reintroduces his company’s enhanced methylene blue product, BioBlue, which includes NMN, colloidal gold/silver, and fulvic acid for boosted mitochondrial absorption and synergy with red light therapy.
5. Mitochondrial Inheritance Bombshell
To close the episode, Dr. Mike unpacks a groundbreaking (but still early-stage) study suggesting that mitochondria might not be passed down exclusively from mothers. Some animal studies hint that paternal mitochondrial inheritance might occasionally occur — a potential paradigm shift in mitochondrial genetics.

Methylene Blue Myths, Taurine Truths
Thursday Apr 10, 2025
Thursday Apr 10, 2025
The second topic entails a prelude about deuterium: what it is, how it impacts our mitochondrial function and some strategies to help mitigate its negative effects. We first discuss deuterium, because the research article we cover today is about taurine and its implications for helping the body produce deuterium-depleted water and/or helping the body decrease its deuterium content altogether. This not only has implications for overall health, but countless diseases and cancers as well.

The first topic is red light therapy (RLT) for tendinopathy (i.e. pain from overuse in tendons), where I discuss the mechanisms of how RLT has the potential to help heal this type of an injury, review the most relevant research and then provide some practical application for what a real treatment would look like with a RLT devce.
The second topic is how to apply The Mitochondrial Triad for fertility. I first examine the role that mitochondrial dysfunction plays in facilitating low fertility rates and then scrutinize how/why RLT, methylene blue and C60 may have efficacious, profound potential for improving and optimizing fertility — both from the female and male perspective. I also offer some practical application for each aspect of The Mitochondrial for women and men.

I wanted to take to the mic and address some of this misinformation and concern head-on. One issue that I see arise is around the quality of MB and, more specifically, the fact that MB can be derived from petroleum substances. Notice how I said, "can be." Yes, different industrial use cases may obtain their MB from petroleum-based sources, but is not the same MB that would be considered safe for human consumption. Also, there is a notion going around that you can make "homemade" leucomethyene blue simply be adding vitamin C to MB. I explain why this is a half-truth and does not lead to the same quality, purity, stability, bioavailability or effectiveness in mitochondria.
The study covered in today's episode demonstrates how the mitochondria are being recognized as an integral therapeutic target for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). That would mean a.) mitochondrial dysfunction is a large part of the brain damage (and, thus, recovery) associated with TBIs and, presumably, other head trauma, such as concussions; and b.) anything that can improve mitochondrial function, particularly things that can positively affect the brain, has a large potential role to play in the recovery from TBIs and other head trauma. The Mitochondrial Triad ticks all of those boxes.
As always, light up your health!

While Landon is a wildly successful entrepreneur today, which is a grind in its own right, his days as an NFL defensive lineman (and, of course, the years and year of collegiate and high school football) took a major toll on his body and, even more so, his mind and brain. This is secondary to the perpetual banging of pads and helmets every single play between the offensive and defensive lineman. Being drafted in 2008, Landon played in an era where the repercussions of concussions was not yet on the radar in football. Fast forward to early last year, Landon was recommended by a friend to try some BioBlue and red light therapy to see if it would help with his post-NFL body and mind. According to Landon, BioBlue played a major role in regaining his sharp mind and cognition/focus, while the red light therapy (combined with the BioBlue) helped reduce so lingering aches and pains. Needless to say, he is a massive advocate of both modalities.
Along with discussing his experience with MB and RLT, Landon talks about the differences between his health and wellness mindset as an NFL player vs. his mindset in his post-NFL life, his desire and motivation to live a "clean lifestyle", how/why he wakes up around 3 every morning to start his day, his viewpoints on diet/food and some other fun topics, such as crypto, blockchain, AI and much, much more!

Thursday Feb 20, 2025
I discuss my thoughts on the above, and more, when I dive into today's first study that looks at red light therapy for low-to-moderate myopia. I also discuss the physiology and pathology that leads to early onset (and, by nature, full blown) myopia. Hint, hint — blue light may play a critical role. I outline what I would do for an eye treatment and provide insight as to what someone should consider in a device if eye health is the main motivation.
In the second article that is hot sizzling off the press, we take a special detour to look at the impact of violet light and its photobiomodulation effects on depression. There is some fun rabbit holes secondary to this study, such as learning the impact of violet light for circadian rhythm, the role of OPN5 (a special neuropsin that plays a role in depression) and much more!
As always, light up your health!
