Dr. Chris Rhodes on Fasting Without Hunger

Dr. Chris Rhodes explains what fasting is actually doing in the body, where the benefits begin, and why shorter fasting windows may not deliver what many people expect. He walks us through the science behind fasting mimetics, including how his team studied a 36-hour fast and built a supplement around the molecules that arise during it. You come away with a clearer way to think about hunger control, food noise, metabolic health, and the tradeoffs between fasting, appetite-suppressing drugs, and everyday eating. He also offers a sharp take on saturated fat hype and makes the case for a more personal, evidence-based future in nutrition.Save 20% on Mimio with code: AGEIST20Big Announcement: The Super Age Games are here!
