Dr. Chris Rhodes: Mimicking Fasting, Enhancing Longevity, and Tapping Biology's Secrets

Know Your Physio

In this thought-provoking episode, I have the pleasure of hosting Dr. Chris Rhodes, the CEO and Co-Founder of Mimio Health. A trailblazer in the field of biomimetics and regenerative health, Dr. Rhodes shares his groundbreaking research on fasting, longevity, and tapping into the body’s evolutionarily conserved mechanisms. With years of expertise and a passion for pushing the boundaries of human biology, he unveils how his work is redefining health optimization for the modern world.

Our conversation dives deep into the science behind fasting and the revolutionary approach of biomimetic supplementation. Dr. Rhodes explains how Mimio Health's innovative formulation recreates the benefits of a 36-hour fast, activating metabolic pathways to enhance cellular health, longevity, and resilience—all without caloric restriction. From understanding the role of key metabolites like spermidine and nicotinamide to exploring the intersections of fasting, exercise, and mental clarity, this episode offers a masterclass in harnessing the power of biology to thrive in today’s environment.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about unlocking their body’s innate potential for healing and renewal. Dr. Rhodes’ insights shed light on how fasting mimetics can improve everything from metabolic health to biological age, while also empowering listeners to take charge of their own well-being. Whether you’re new to fasting or looking to optimize your health with cutting-edge science, this conversation will leave you inspired to explore what’s possible when we align with the natural brilliance of our biology. Tune in and take the first step toward unlocking your full potential!
