    Unlocking Longevity: The Science of Fasting & GLP-1 with Dr. Chris Rhodes

    Send us a text In this conversation, Dr. Chris Rhodes, a nutritional biochemist and fasting longevity researcher, discusses the science behind fasting and its potential to extend lifespan and improve health. He explains the role of metabolites in fasting benefits and introduces Mimio, a fasting mimetic supplement designed to replicate the positive effects of fasting without the need to actually fast. The discussion also covers the implications of fasting for women, the connection between fasting and GLP-1, and the future of fasting research. Learn more about Dr. Rhodes and Mimio: Dr. Chris Rhodes is a PhD in Nutritional Biochemist 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.
