ANECDOTE

Chris's Fasting Experience

Chris Rhodes initially struggled with fasting, fearing his body would 'eat itself'.
He discovered fasting empowered him to make better food choices and control his eating habits.

INSIGHT

Fasting Metabolism

Fasting metabolism shifts from using exogenous to endogenous energy stores.
This shift occurs after about 20-24 hours, marked by glycogen depletion and a switch to fat breakdown.

INSIGHT

Fasting and Longevity

Fasting signals to the body that the environment isn't suitable for reproduction.
This triggers a focus on self-preservation, activating cellular repair and stress resistance for longevity.

In this episode, you’ll get to explore how you can reap the benefits of fasting (without actually having to fast), thanks to Dr. Chris Rhodes and his groundbreaking supplement, Mimio. If you're dealing with low energy, sluggish metabolism, or premature aging, Dr. Rhodes explains how Mimio mimics the effects of fasting to boost cellular health and longevity. You'll get to discover how this innovative approach can address common health issues, enhance your well-being, and help optimize your body and mind (without dealing with some of the less-than-favorable side effects of fasting, such as irritability, headaches, fatigue, and hunger pangs).

Dr. Chris Rhodes received his Ph.D. in nutritional biochemistry from UC Davis and is an expert on human fasting as a health and longevity intervention. Over the course of his research, he and his team comprehensively mapped the biochemical changes that happen in the human body during prolonged periods of fasting.

Dr. Rhodes discovered that the body produces multiple unique bioactive metabolites during a 36-hour fast, and when these metabolites are given as a supplement, they could recreate the cellular health and longevity benefits of fasting, including extending lifespan in model organisms by 96%. Dr. Rhodes is now the founder and CEO of Mimio Health a nutri-technology company creating first-of-their-kind biomimetic supplements designed from human biology to recreate the body's natural regenerative states.

Mimio Health's first product, Mimio, is a fasting mimetic designed from over seven years of clinical fasting research at UC Davis to provide the same cellular health and longevity benefits as a 36-hour fast in a simple daily pill. Mimio has been clinically shown to produce the same anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardioprotective effects as fasting, even during a meal, extend lifespan in model organisms by 96%, and reduce biological age (DNAMet) in humans.

Whether you're a fasting enthusiast, new to fasting, or simply curious about how fasting can enhance your health, this episode is packed with actionable insights and groundbreaking information!
