Can You Mimic Fasting—Without Actually Fasting?

Chris Rhodes, a biochemist and longevity researcher, joins Dave to reveal a groundbreaking fasting mimetic that could revolutionize how we approach aging, metabolism, and health.

Fasting is one of the most powerful tools for longevity, but what if you could achieve the same benefits without hunger, energy crashes, or social sacrifices? Scientists have identified key compounds that mimic fasting at the cellular level—offering a way to extend lifespan, boost metabolism, and enhance cognitive function without giving up food.

Enter Mimio, a blend of four key molecules naturally produced during fasting, is engineered to deliver the life-extending benefits of fasting—without starvation.

For decades, fasting has been the gold standard for longevity, but over-fasting can wreck hormones, metabolism, and muscle mass. So, what if you could get the benefits of a 36-hour fast without the downsides? Chris breaks down the science behind fasting, autophagy, and the game-changing compounds that trick your body into entering a fasted state—even while eating.

What You’ll Learn:

• The optimal fasting window for maximizing lifespan (Hint: It’s not 16 hours)

• The four fasting metabolites that extend life by 96%

• How Mimio mimics fasting benefits—without giving up food

• The real reason over-fasting destroys your metabolism and hormones

• Why traditional longevity drugs (Metformin, Rapamycin) fall short

• Can you build muscle and burn fat at the same time? The science of mTOR & AMPK

• Why Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know about this breakthrough
