Unlocking Fasting Benefits Without Starving: A Conversation with Dr. Chris Rhodes

Episode Overview

  • Fasting can extend lifespan and improve health markers.
  • Dr. Rhodes' research identified four key metabolites that mimic fasting benefits.
  • Mimeo supplement offers fasting benefits without actual fasting.
  • Different fasting durations offer varying health benefits.
  • Practical advice on integrating fasting mimicking supplements into daily life.
Fasting is one of the only ways that we know of right now that reliably extends lifespan in model organisms.
What if you could enjoy the benefits of fasting without actually fasting? Dr. Joy Kong invites Dr. Chris Rhodes, a nutritional biochemist, to discuss this intriguing possibility. Dr. Rhodes shares his journey into the world of intermittent fasting and reveals how his research led to the development of a supplement that mimics the effects of fasting. With a PhD from UC Davis, Dr.
Rhodes dives into the science behind fasting and its remarkable ability to extend lifespan, reduce inflammation, and boost cardiovascular health. He explains how his team identified four key metabolites that recreate these benefits without the need for prolonged fasting. These metabolites, combined in a product called Mimeo, have shown promising results in both human and animal studies, offering a practical solution for those who struggle with traditional fasting methods. Dr. Kong and Dr.
Rhodes also explore the challenges and benefits of different fasting durations, from intermittent to prolonged fasts, and discuss how Mimeo can help people achieve their health goals without the gruelling commitment of extended fasting periods. If you're curious about how to optimise your health and longevity without giving up food entirely, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice.
