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: “It's fascinating how our technological advancements have divorced us from nature — and now we're forced to supplement what our ancestors got for free.” Episode Timeline 00:00 – Intro: Why modern living depletes your electrons 02:00 – What redox potential actually means 06:00 – Oxidation, reduction, and balance in the body 12:00 – How excess free radicals and EMFs steal your health 17:00 – Antioxidants, glutathione, and your body's self-defense system 19:00 – Reading from The Mitochondria Manifesto: “Modern Living Steals Electrons” 26:00 – How modern tech separates us from nature 33:00 – Redox potential and disease prevention 36:00 – Aging, telomeres, and oxidative breakdown 38:00 – The redox-mitochondria connection 41:00 – Can we measure redox potential? 43:00 – How breathing and meditation improve redox 46:00 – Redox and quantum biology 49:00 – Rapid fire Q&A: fatigue, brain fog, mood, and stress 55:00 – Simple hacks to raise redox potential today 57:00 – Closing: Could mastering redox be the real Fountain of Youth?

Loneliness isn't just in your head… it impacts your body, mood, longevity and emotional health. There's real science behind why we crave connection, so in today's episode, we dive into the concept of the “social biome” (your personal ecosystem of relationships and daily interactions) and how it can transform your wellbeing. Founded by researchers Dr. Jeffrey Hall and Dr. Andy Merolla, the social biome is a framework for strengthening relationships and cultivating a real sense of community in a culture that's starved of real life connection.Whether you're introverted, socially anxious, super busy, or just craving more genuine relationships, invest in your social fitness with these doable strategies to help you build your social biome and connections.Tune in to learn:Why connection is “social nutrition” and how to feed your social health every day.The Ladder of Connection framework to move from restorative solitude to strong, meaningful friendships.How small, low-stakes interactions (“weak ties”) boost your mood and help you feel less isolated.Using social media and technology as a way to connect rather than compare and consume.Practical tips to actually make friends as an adult, nurture existing bonds, and create a supportive community.For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Last month I got an email that reassured me that all will be well with the world. That joy and blessing are very much alive.The email attached a photo of two women who are long-time members of our congregation. The younger one is only 103. The older one is 104. They have been friends since they were 12. Do the math, and that is one long, rich friendship. They were having lunch with their daughters. The picture is of the four of them all smiling at their lunch. Both women read the paper every day. Both women exercise every day. Both women talk to their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and friends every day. Both women are totally up on what is happening in the world. Their beautiful lives, 103 and 104 years old, and still living, feels biblical. And it is. Their lives evoke Moses who, at the end of his life at the age of 120, is described as loh khahatah eino v'loh nas lechoh, Moses's vision was undimmed and his vigor unabated. He lives, richly, until his last breath.I had always thought that only Moses, and rare people like our 103- and 104-year old friends, get this treatment. Until I read Peter Attia's book Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, which makes the case that all of us can be Moses in the sense that all of us have more control than we might think about living richly all the years of our lives.We all know the word lifespan. Lifespan is the number of years we get to live. But Attia taught me a new word: healthspan. Healthspan is the quality of our health—physical, cognitive, emotional, spiritual, relational—throughout the years of our life. Attia's main point is that what we do now can impact how we live later. What we do in our earlier years can shape not just our lifespan but our healthspan, not just the quantity of our years, but the quality of our years. The habits we live by in our 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s can dramatically affect the vitality of our 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond. Our current practices shape our future years. And this is a decidedly Jewish issue.

Send us a textWhat if one of the most powerful tools for slowing biological aging has been hiding in plain sight for decades?This week on The Daily Apple, Dr. Brad Younggren joins us to unpack therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and why it could be a game-changer for longevity. Dr. Younggren is an emergency medicine physician, U.S. Army combat veteran, and now CEO and co-founder of Circulate Health. Under his leadership, Circulate has completed more than a thousand treatments across 24 clinics and published data showing an average 2.6-year slowdown in biological aging.“Therapeutic plasma exchange isn't just for rare hospital cases anymore. We're learning it can lower inflammation, clear out harmful proteins, and even reduce microplastics — all things tied to how fast we age.” — Dr. Brad YounggrenWe talk about:What TPE actually is (and how it differs from a blood donation).Results from the Circulate Trial and why they matter.How plasma exchange impacts inflammation, senescent cells, and lipids.Early research on microplastics and cognitive decline.Why partnerships with clinics may be the fastest path to making longevity care more accessible.Dr. Younggren also shares his own journey from combat medicine to pioneering new frontiers in healthspan, and where he sees longevity breakthroughs heading in the next decade.
