In this interview, Dr. Chris Rhodes, co-founder of Mimio Health, came back on the show to explain how fasting mimetics can deliver the benefits of fasting without food restriction. Mimio contains four key compounds--spermidine, nicotinamide, PEA, and OEA--that mimic cellular affects of a 36-hour fast, supporting autophagy, metabolic health, and inflammation. This approach is especially helpful for people who struggle with fasting, such as older adults, women in their reproductive years, or those with metabolic issues. Clinical trials have shown Mimio improves hunger regulation, glucose levels, cholesterol, and markers of biological aging, even when taken with food. Dr. Rhodes also shares what's coming in the future for biomimetics!

Dr. Chris Rhodes is a PhD in Nutritional Biochemisty and fasting for longevity researcher who has spent his career unraveling the mysteries behind intermittent fasting and its incredible ability to optimize health and extend lifespan. During his 8 years of clinical research into prolonged fasting, Dr. Rhodes discovered an uptick specifically in a unique set of molecules that are produced in the body only during long periods of fasting and that these “fasting metabolites” could be used to recreate the beneficial effects of fasting without actually needing to fast. To share this breakthrough with the world, Dr. Rhodes co-founded Mimio Health, a biotech company creating first-of-their-kind biomimetic supplements designed from human biology to optimize health, slow aging, and enhance longevity.
