In this week's episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with Victor Sagalovsky, co-founder of Litewater Scientific, to explore one of the most cutting-edge frontiers in mitochondrial optimization: deuterium depleted water (DDW). Victor, a longtime water researcher and pioneer in bringing ultra-low deuterium water to the world, shares how this overlooked isotope may hold the key to boosting energy production, extending healthspan, and even influencing genetic expression.   Expect a mix of quantum biology, practical lifestyle strategies, and a deep dive into the physics of water as Dr. Mike and Victor decode how lowering deuterium levels impacts mitochondrial health and human longevity. Key Topics Covered Victor's Origin Story – How a lifelong fascination with water led him to co-found Litewater Scientific and make deuterium depleted water accessible . What is Deuterium? – Breaking down the isotopes of hydrogen and why deuterium disrupts mitochondrial ATP synthase, causing “stutters” in energy production. The Mitochondrial Connection – How excess deuterium damages membranes, reduces proton motive force, and accelerates aging. Deuterium & Disease – The striking links between high deuterium levels, cancer risk, and neurodegeneration. Thresholds for Health – Why 120 ppm is considered the metabolic “line in the sand,” and how most modern water supplies far exceed this. How DDW is Made – The massive proprietary columns and energy-intensive process behind creating 10 ppm and 5 ppm light water. Psychological & Cognitive Benefits – Correlations between lower deuterium levels and improved mood, optimism, and confidence. Lifestyle Strategies – Beyond DDW: fasting, ketogenic diets, hydrogen inhalation, and limiting overconsumption of food and water. Practical Outcomes – How listeners can begin to measure, lower, and optimize their own deuterium levels for energy and longevity. Key Quotes   Victor Sagalovsky: “Every eight seconds, an ATP synthase stutters because of deuterium—it's the kiss and the elbow at the same time.” “Our physiology is designed for about 120 ppm of deuterium, but most people are sitting at 150 or higher—that's the metabolic danger zone.” “When you deplete deuterium, your body thanks you. You feel lighter, both metaphorically and literally.”   Dr. Mike Belkowski: “When I first tried Litewater, I felt an immediate pull—like my cells wanted more. It was magnetizing.” “The implications for cognition, mood, and even neurodegeneration are massive when you consider how mitochondrial dense the brain is.” Episode Timeline   00:00 – Introduction & the promise of radical life extension   01:30 – Dr. Mike introduces Victor and Litewater Scientific   04:00 – Victor's background as a water researcher and discovery of DDW   07:00 – Why deuterium is the hidden disruptor in energy production   12:00 – How ATP synthase “stutters” under deuterium load   18:00 – Membrane damage, proton leakage, and mitochondrial shutdown   24:00 – Cognitive, emotional, and energetic effects of lowering deuterium   32:00 – The massive engineering challenge of producing ultra-low deuterium water   39:00 – Deuterium and cancer risk: research, case studies, and suppression   46:00 – The “line in the sand” for ppm and metabolic safety   55:00 – Lifestyle strategies: fasting, keto, hydrogen inhalation, and exercise   01:00:00 – Testing, tracking, and maintaining optimal deuterium levels   01:03:00 – Closing thoughts on energy, freedom, and future of water Resources & References Litewater Scientific Book: Deuterium Depletion: A New Strategy in Cancer Therapy - Dr. Gabor Somlyai Dr. Zoltán Nagy – Research on ATP synthase stutter and deuterium's role Deuterium Depletion Resource Hub

What if one of biotech's biggest production breakthroughs was hiding in plain sight? Not in a new gene or a wonder drug, but in the way we process and purify biologics.Perfusion technology, once dismissed as a pipedream in top biopharma boardrooms, is now quietly powering some of the industry's most efficient and productive manufacturing platforms. Yet, transforming perfusion from controversial buzzword to gold standard required timing, vision, and a willingness to break from tradition.In this episode, host David Brühlmann sits down with Jarno Robin, a bioprocessing pioneer whose 20+ year journey spans industry giants like Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, and Leo Pharma. Jarno has championed upstream continuous processes, including ATF and TFF, for decades, and now, as a leader at Sani Membranes, he's unleashing the next evolution: Vibro® Membrane Filtration, an innovation set to upend conventional wisdom about fouling, pressure loss, scalability, energy usage, and more.Here are three reasons you'll want to listen to Jarno's journey:Innovation Versus Industry Inertia: Behind every platform shift are years of resistance. Jarno recounts how timing, advocacy, and matching the right data with the right decision-makers finally made perfusion mainstream, even after company leaders proclaimed, “We will never ever run perfusion.”State-of-the-Art and the Next Frontier: ATF and TFF remain dominant, but their limitations, like membrane fouling, scale-up headaches, and high energy needs, are real. Jarno explains how Vibro® Membrane Filtration addresses these pain points with a radically new design, offering lower pressure loss, less fouling, higher cell densities, and surprisingly low energy consumption.Practical Wisdom for Bioprocess Developers: Should you always run a control in process development? How do you translate lab-scale wins to robust, money-earning production? Jarno shares counterintuitive advice based on decades of hands-on success and mistakes.Curious how you can optimize your process technology and sidestep costly pitfalls?

Pterosaur soft tissues It's a double new paper episode this time as thanks to the magic of almost random review and publication times, Dave has two papers out on the same subject in the same month! So strap in for some absolute minutiae on pterosaur hands, feet, scales, and the oddly overlooked wing membrane that sits between their legs. Pterosaurs in general are not very common fossils and so it should be no surprise that we don't have a great many examples of their soft tissues, from skin, to beaks and claws and other bits. So, having new examples, and synthesising the limited information we have, is really important for building an understanding of these incredible animals. It's deep dive time.       A link to Dave's blogpost on the new hand and foot scale papers: https://archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2025/06/10/new-data-on-pterosaurian-soft-tissues/   A link to a very old blogpost about pterosaur soft tissues generally: https://archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2008/07/25/pterosaur-soft-tissues/   Iszi'a new book - featuring a pterosaur and perfect for 6-9 year olds is out on 28th August in the UK: https://amzn.eu/d/9kFiniD (message her on iszi.com if you want international posting).

Trish dives into the topic of membrane sweeps. She breaks down everything you need to know about this optional procedure to help you make informed decisions for your birth.Trish explains what a membrane sweep is (also known as a stretch and sweep), how it works, tips to make it more comfortable, and why it might be considered to encourage labor naturally. She emphasizes that membrane sweeps are entirely your choice - your body, your birth, your decision. Trish shares when a membrane sweep is most effective (hint: wait until at least 40 weeks!), the importance of slight cervical dilation for the procedure, and why dilation alone isn't the whole story when it comes to labor readiness.

This episode was recorded at the 2025 Florida Ruminant Nutrition Symposium. Microbial protein has always been Dr. Frikins' main interest. It's the most important and consistent source of protein for the cow, with a very high amino acid content. Histidine is the only exception, but bypass protein sources high in histidine complement microbial protein well. Our assessment of microbial protein is all based on prediction models. In his presentation, Dr. Firkins talked about what we can do to have consistently high microbial protein production and how to make the best use of the models. He touched on starch and fat content as two areas of focus, emphasizing a balanced diet to achieve a balanced supply of microbial protein. (5:36)Dr. Firkins notes that about 90% of the bacteria in the rumen can't be cultured, and there is great diversity in the rumen. There's a core group of bacteria that almost every cow has that are really good at their job because they've been co-selected along with the cow for fiber digestion. The panel discusses how much the microbiome changes over time, host interactions with the microbial population, and inoculation of calves at birth and weaning. (8:47)Dr. De Souza and Dr. Faciola talk about starch associative effects and their impacts on fiber digestibility, how sugars impact the rumen and butyrate production, and the importance of butyrate in de novo milk fat synthesis. Dr. Frikins hypothesizes that when sugars improve fiber digestibility, the sugar stimulates how fiber digesters do their job. Some studies have shown an increase in rumen pH when sugars are supplemented, which may be part of the mechanism of improved fiber digestibility. However, he doesn't recommend using sugars when there is a lot of starch in the diet. (13:38)Dr. Faciola and Dr. Firkins discuss some of the finer points of the dietary starch and fiber digestibility relationship. What are you replacing when you add more starch? What is the proper amount of effective fiber in higher-starch diets? On the other hand, if you decrease starch a little bit, there might be more room for fat. Well-managed cows with adequate effective fiber can probably handle more starch. Dr. Firkins underlines that starch is more digestible than fiber and thus supports microbial protein, but an optimum level is desirable, perhaps 28-20%. (20:37)The panel talks about microbial growth efficiency and the energy-spilling mechanisms some bacteria have. Some models suggest that starch-digesting bacteria have higher maintenance energy requirements. The group then pivots to methane production and available feed additives marketed to reduce methane. Dr. Firkins notes that there is quite a bit of variability in the additives. He emphasizes that if we're using these products, we need to know and measure what's in them and have them be consistent. This is challenging due not only to variability in product, but also rumen adaptation. Dr. Firkins also reminds the audience that improving the cow's efficiency in general in a variety of ways will lead to a smaller environmental footprint. This can range from improving reproductive efficiency to understanding differences in the microbiome of cows who emit more or less methane and trying to shift microbial populations to those with lower emissions. (23:12)Dr. De Souza and Dr. Firkins discuss fatty acid supplementation and fiber digestion relationships. Dr. Firkins explains that in the microbiology literature, it's common to culture bacteria in a simple or complex medium, then add yeast culture. Interestingly, the yeast culture contains a lot of palmitic acid, which has been shown to improve fiber digestibility. He suggests the cell membrane of the bacteria is very critical. When fat supplementation depresses fiber digestibility, he suspects it's disrupting the bacterial membrane. Dr. De Souza recommends 1-2% palmitic acid in the diet for optimal results. (33:58)The panel touches on the importance and relevance of in vitro fermentation work, why histidine is the limiting amino acid in microbial protein, and Dr. Firkins' passion for protozoa.

Saviez-vous que le choix entre un détendeur de plongée à piston ou à membrane peut tout changer selon le type d'eau dans lequel vous plongez ? Ou qu'un détendeur surcompensé vous permet de respirer plus facilement dès les premiers mètres de descente ?Dans cet épisode, Lucie et Manuel Cabrère (Aqualung) vous plongent au cœur de la mécanique interne des détendeurs de plongée, avec un focus sur les subtilités qui font toute la différence en termes de confort respiratoire.A travers un échange limpide et pédagogique, vous découvrirez :la différence entre les détendeurs à piston et à membrane, et pourquoi la membrane est à privilégier en milieu chargé ou pollué ;le rôle crucial de la compensation, qui permet de maintenir une respiration fluide quel que soit le niveau d'air restant dans la bouteille ;la mécanique de la surcompensation, une technologie qui améliore encore le confort respiratoire en profondeur, même dès 25 mètres.A travers des analogies simples — comme celle du bouchon de baignoire — Manuel rend accessibles des concepts techniques fondamentaux pour bien choisir et bien comprendre son matériel. Vous apprendrez également pourquoi certains détendeurs disponibles à la location dans la plupart des clubs de plongée peuvent montrer leurs limites, et comment un bon choix de détendeur peut transformer votre expérience sous l'eau.Ce deuxième épisode technique poursuit notre série sur les détendeurs de plongée avec clarté et précision.

One of the reasons why working in water is fun is the people who work in it - dedicated, driven, modest, self-effacing, hard working, but with a lightness that comes from doing something that really matters. Craig Beckman personifies these qualities and then some, and he also happens to be working on a generational - and I really do mean that it's once in a generation if the past is anything to go by - generational shift in the design of the spiral wound membrane module. Well, we'll go into it in the episode, but think of it as the basic building block, the workhorse of water treatment, a $4.6 billion a year market growing at 11%. Craig and his team have the opportunity to make something we all rely on, whether we know it or not, fundamentally better. It's such an exciting story from inception to development to their enormous production space they just moved into. But more than anything, Craig is a wonderful person to spend time with.

We can't believe we have arrived at the last episode of 2024! This year has brought so many incredible and empowering births. We loved hearing how each of you fought for your birth goals, magnified your voices, and showed your strength. In today's episode, Meagan sums up The VBAC Link's 2024 achievements and shares some of the exciting things she has in store for 2025. The VBAC Link Supportive Provider ListThe VBAC Link Doula DirectoryHow to VBAC: The Ultimate Prep Course for ParentsFull Transcript under Episode Details Meagan: Hey guys, it's Meagan. Guess what? Today is our last 2024 episode. I cannot believe it is the end of the year. I absolutely cannot believe it. It feels like just yesterday that we started doing two episodes a week, and here we are 11 months later. We started in February. You guys, it has been such a great year. We have had so many incredible episodes from placental abruption, faith over fear, breech VBACs, post-dates, what hospital policies mean,and National Midwifery Week. One of my favorites, well actually, two of my favorites because he came on twice, was Dr. Fox. We had Dr. Fox a couple of times. We've had doula tips from VBAC episodes. We've had some fun episodes where we've had some VBAC Link-certified doulas as cohosts. Oh my gosh, so many great things. I don't know if you noticed, but in October, we started doing a themed week. Every two episodes in one month was a theme. For October, we had midwifery. It was National Midwifery Week so we talked about midwives and the stats about midwives. We had CNM Paige come on with our very own Lily who talked more about midwifery care, what does it look like, how to choose, can a midwife support VBAC, and all of that fun, fun stuff. And then in November, it was Veteran's Day so we had some military mamas on there and more about how to navigate that. We talked a little bit about Tricare and tips about navigating birth as a servicemember or as a significant other. That was really, really fun.This month, we touched on uterine abnormalities. We had Flannery talking about her bicornuate uterus and more about specific types of uteruses and what that means. It's so weird to think, but there are different types of uteruses, you guys. That doesn't mean that if you have a different type of uterus that you can't VBAC. It may mean that you may be faced with some challenges like a breech baby or something like that, but we wanted to share more about that because that's not talked about. But it's not going to stop. We have got that coming all year. 2025 is going to have a lot of really fun, specific episodes. The reason why I did this is because I wanted to have a whole week in two episodes where people could come and just binge two specific episodes that they may be looking for. We have a lot of people writing in saying, “Hey, I'm looking for VBAC after multiple Cesareans. Hey, I'm looking for breech stories. Hey, I would like to hear more healing CBAC stories or planned Cesarean stories.” We wanted to have it so they could just do two episodes back to back.Then of course, there are episodes throughout the whole podcast that we have that you can go back and find, but this way, you can find it in one week, two episodes back to back. We've got things like CBAC coming, VBAC after multiple Cesareans. We've got breech. We've got OB week. That's going to be fun. Oh man, I'm trying to think. So many other things. Special scars. We have a special scars month. We are just going to have months where it's typically going to be that second week where it will be a specific theme and topic. Don't forget to check that out coming up in 2025. Like I said, we started that up in October. Okay, so some other really fun and exciting things coming up, I do have a surprise for you, but unfortunately, you're going to have to wait until 2025. I'm really excited for this series. Yeah. It's going to be so good. Make sure to come back next week in 2025 to learn more about a surprise that I have coming your way. Then, in addition to that surprise and our themed weeks, I'm actually going to be rebroadcasting some of our old episodes. As you know, we are getting up there. We are at 365 episodes today which is so dang exciting. I cannot thank you guys enough for continuing to support this podcast, for coming back, listening, downloading these episodes, and just being here with us. We see you in our community on Facebook. We see you on Instagram. We see you downloading and listening. We are getting messages in regards to these stories and how much they are connecting with people.You guys, these stories are incredible. Just a reminder also, we are always accepting submissions. Now, we can't get to every submission because we do get a lot of submissions which is so fun to go through. We share them on our social media if we can't sometimes share them on the podcast, but please, if you have a story that you would like to submit and share them with other Women of Strength who are coming after you and are wanting to hear these empowering messages, go to thevbaclink.com/share, I believe, and submit your podcast story. Okay, going back. We are rebroadcasting episodes. I have gone back and listened to probably 10 or 12 episodes. Some of our really, really amazing episodes, and I've found some nuggets after re-listening that I'm pulling through and giving tips. We're going to have extra tips, extra links, and also if there have been updated things or updated studies from 2018 that have now been updated, we want to make sure that we freshen up these episodes and bring them back to more recent episodes. If you have a favorite episode that you would like to hear rebroadcasted or one that you listen to on repeat, will you let us know? Email us at info@thevbaclink.com and let us know what your favorite episode is and why, or if you are looking for some more information or want us to elaborate more on a topic that maybe we have discussed but didn't go too far into detail that I can maybe go into deeper detail about. Okay, I'm trying to think, you guys. We've had so many amazing things this year. Blogs– we have been pumping out blogs like crazy. There are so many things from preparing for your VBAC, 5 things to do before you get pregnant, recovering from a Cesarean birth. You guys, if you've been with us for a while, you know we absolutely love and adore Needed. We wholeheartedly love and trust everything they produce. We love them. They have really been so gracious to offer us a wonderful 20% off discount code, so don't forget that. That is still valid. You can go to thisisneeded.com and type in VBAC20 and get 20% off your order. We talk more about why prenatal nutrition matters. We talk about creating your ideal hospital environment. We talk about C-section scar massage and why it's important. That is a big one that isn't talked about enough. We talk about hiring doulas, things to put on your registry, more about red raspberry leaf tea. We talk about heartburn, Tums, and also what else Tums can do to help us in our VBAC. So many things. We talk about positions and using the ball. Oh my gosh, just so many incredible things. We've got so many blogs coming at thevbaclink.com/blogs so make sure to check out the blog and learn more about these topics. Membrane sweeps, VBAC after multiple Cesareans, uterine rupture, if you're looking for that VBAC provider, definitely check out that blog about how to find out if you need to switch your provider. Then of course, we have our VBAC course. You guys, I love our course so much. Another big reason why we are going to be re-airing our episodes is so that we can keep updating our course. Birth in general is updating all of the time. This course– Julie and I created it a long time ago, and it is my baby. I am so excited for this course because I have seen so many people get the information that they need, feel more empowered and equipped to have a VBAC, then we actually have a birth worker course. The birth worker course is to certify VBAC doulas, our birth workers, and it is accredited. It is 8 ICEA credits, so if you have a doula that hasn't been in our course yet,  maybe suggest that to them or if you are a birth worker listening, I highly suggest it. We have a VBAC Link Doula directory, so if you are looking for a doula or, like I said, you are a birth worker and you want to be found, we want to help you be found. You can find a doula at thevbaclink.com/findadoula, and if you are a birth worker, you can check out your area. California, I know needs more doulas. Texas, there are a lot of states that need more doulas. We would love to add you to your family.Okay, you guys. I'm trying to think what else. Oh my gosh. I could not leave without saying this. This year, we updated our provider list. It is on Instagram. You can go the The VBAC Link at Instagram. Click on our linktree in our bio, and it is the top one to find a supportive provider in your area. Now, if you have a provider that should be on this list or if you are a provider and wantt o be on this list, please email us at info@thevbaclink.com or you can email us on Instagram so we can get your provider listed. We really need providers who accept VBAC after multiple Cesareans, breech VBAC, and who are just VBAC supportive in general. You guys, it is so stinking silly and stupid how hard it is to sometimes find a provider. Please check out that form. If your provider is supportive, please, please, please let us know so we can get them listed. Okay, you guys, I think that is about everything. It has been such a great 2024. I am so grateful again for you guys. I hope you will continue to join us for 2025 because we do have more incredible episodes coming your way from a lot of VBA2Cs. We have polyhydramnios (high fluid). We have HBACs. We have CBACs. We're going to have a couple of OBs actually and special scars. So many great things. We will catch you in 2025. I hope you guys have a fantastic new year. ClosingWould you like to be a guest on the podcast? Tell us about your experience at thevbaclink.com/share.

Differences in ion concentrations inside and outside a cell cause a difference in the charge of the intracellular and extracellular environments. This electrical polarization of a cell relative to its environment is referred to as cellular membrane potential. This potential serves as an energy source for a variety of cellular functions and as a way for excitable cells like muscle cells and neurons to communicate their signals. A cell controls its membrane potential by regulating the concentration of multiple ions and other charged particles. Let's take a closer look at the biochemistry behind the cell membrane potential. After listening to this AudioBrick, you should be able to: Define equilibrium and describe the forces at work on ions across a biological membrane. Discuss the importance of the Nernst equation and equilibrium potentials. Describe the importance of Na-K-ATPase in relation to the resting membrane potential (Vr). Describe the nonequilibrium steady-state (NESS). Define and discuss the chord conductance equation. You can also check out the original brick from our Cellular Biology collection, which is available for free.

This week, Scott was joined by his Lawfare colleagues Eric Ciaramella and Anastasiia Lapatina, as well as special guest Kyiv Independent reporter Francis Farrell, for an episode committed to one big topic: what Trump's return to the White House might mean for Ukraine. They tackled the issue in three parts:“What Condition My Attrition Is In.” By most accounts, after more than two years of fighting, the conflict in Ukraine has come to look very much like a war of attrition. How do Ukrainians feel about the state of the conflict and the prospects looking forward? What steps are the outgoing Biden administration taking to change the calculus—and what impact might they still have, if any?“New Boss, Same as the Old Boss.” Donald Trump's return to the White House promises a sea change in how the United States has approached the conflict in Ukraine. What do his early national security appointments—and engagements with, among others, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky—tell us about his plans? And where do they seem likely to lead?“Flipping the Board.” Trump's election—and whatever outcome he is able to bring about in Ukraine—has the potential to reset the strategic environment in Europe (and the U.S. strategic relationship with Russia) more generally. What might regional security—and security for Ukraine specifically—look like by 2028?For object lessons, Nastya recommended Catherine Belton's new book, “Putin's People,” on the return and rise to power of the KGB. Eric gave a belated endorsement for the Oscar-winning South Korean film “Parasite,” and urged folks to watch it as a celebration of the democratic resilience South Korea demonstrated this week. Scott plugged the holiday variety show he was attending that evening and urged listeners to welcome the season with Aimee Mann's “One More Drifter in the Snow.” And Francis recommended GeoGuessr, the geolocation game that has taken the KI newsroom by storm.Rational Security will be saying goodbye to 2024 in its traditional fashion: by discussing listener-submitted topics and object lessons!
