#342: Unlocking The Secret Code To Fasting: The Biohack for Hunger, Longevity & Energy (How Scientists Are Hacking Your CELLS) | Chris Rhodes
<p dir="ltr">Welcome back to the Longevity Podcast! I’m so excited for today’s episode, where I sit down with Chris Rhodes—nutritional biochemist, fasting researcher, and <a href="https://mimiohealth.com/nat">CEO of Mimio Health</a>—to dive deep into one of the most fascinating emerging topics in longevity science: fasting mimetics. If you’ve ever wanted to get the regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and health-boosting effects of fasting, but struggled to actually fast for 36 hours or more (trust me, I get it!), this conversation is for you.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Listeners of this podcast can visit <a href="http://mimiohealth.com/nat">mimiohealth.com/nat</a> and use code NAT FOR 20% off your first single purchase or subscription order.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>What we discuss:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Meet Chris Rhodes and his biomimetic research journey ... 00:05:18</p> <p dir="ltr">Unlocking fasting benefits without prolonged fasting ... 00:09:10</p> <p dir="ltr">Supplements vs. pharmaceuticals for longevity ... 00:10:53</p> <p dir="ltr">Fasting protocols, timing, and metabolic switching ... 00:15:23</p> <p dir="ltr">Risks of fasting, evolutionary adaptation, and muscle/bone loss ... 00:18:34</p> <p dir="ltr">Ketones, brain energy, and cognitive adaptation ... 00:22:48</p> <p dir="ltr">How fasting activates longevity and repair pathways ... 00:26:23</p> <p dir="ltr">Key cellular pathways: AMPK, mTOR, NAD, sirtuins ... 00:28:04</p> <p dir="ltr">Mimio research: discovering and testing fasting metabolites ... 00:33:35</p> <p dir="ltr">The four main fasting mimetic molecules explained ... 00:42:04</p> <p dir="ltr">Practical benefits: who should use fasting mimetics & safety ... 00:59:00</p> <p dir="ltr">Mimio in use: hunger control, GLP-1 support, and older adults ... 01:03:37</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Our Amazing Sponsors:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="http://qualialife.com/nathalie">Qualia NAD+</a> - This vital molecule powers cellular energy, supports DNA health, aids detox, and helps keep your body remain youthful.
