#134 36-Hour Fast in a Pill With Biomimetic Supplements | Chris Rhodes @ Mimio Health
On this episode of Mind Body Peak Performance, Nick is joined by Dr. Chris Rhodes, Founder and CEO of Mimio Health. They explore biomimetic supplementation and its ability to replicate fasting benefits.
From the science behind lifespan extension to the potential of biomimetic supplements, they delve into metabolic health, fasting, and the future of regenerative states. Stay tuned for insights on longevity, fasting mimetic molecules, and the impact of validated supplements.
Meet our guest
Mimio Health is a nutritechnology company creating first-of-their-kind biomimetic supplements designed from human biology to recreate the body's innate regenerative systems. Now available to the public, their biomimetic formula (Mimio) was discovered by founder Dr. Chris Rhodes while obtaining his Ph.D. in Nutritional Biochemistry at UC Davis.
Designed to study and decode the longevity-enhancing effects of fasting, his research found that there are unique molecules produced in the human body that are only elevated during a 36-hour fast. By taking these "fasting metabolites" and giving them back to our cells, his team could mimic the beneficial effects of fasting and nearly double the lifespan of model organisms—all without any need to fast.
