Fasting Without the Fast: Biomimetic Breakthroughs with Mimio Founder Dr. Chris Rhodes

from Renee Belz & Lauren Sambataro · host Biohacker Babes

Inspired by the power of fasting to enhance lifespan, co-founder Dr. Chris Rhodes spent years researching the human body's response to a 36 hour fast and how it could unlock our built-in longevity bio-programs.In 2022, the first ever prototypes of Mimio were made, third party certified, and clinically validated to recreate the effects of fasting, even during a meal.Just this past year, Mimio launched its' Daily Biomimetic Cell Care, helping people across the country harness the transformative power of their own biology to enhance their healthspan and live at their peak.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the podcast!2:45 About Dr. Chris Rhodes’3:31 Welcome him to the show!4:24 What is a biomimetic?6:29 Benefits of fasting for health10:29 Who is Mimio for?12:19 How to access food freedom!14:14 Nutrient-repair signals15:32 Getting out of “metabolic chaos”16:25 Alternate-day fasting19:12 Fasting with Mimio vs not fasting22:03 Ingredients in Mimio28:05 Reducing biological age with Mimio30:25 *ALIGN MAT*32:15 New Study 35:08 Alternatives to GLP-1s42:45 Chris personal testing experiments44:10 Observing glucose when fasting45:54 AI & Insights from Function Health50:44 New bio-mimetics coming soon!56:41 His final piece of advice58:04 Where to find Dr. Chris & Mimio58:47 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: MimioHealth.comIG: @mimiohealthAlign Mat - code: biohackerbabes to save $250 Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In this interview, Dr. Chris Rhodes, co-founder of Mimio Health, came back on the show to explain how fasting mimetic can deliver the benefits of fasting without food restriction. Mimio contains four key compounds--spermidine, nicotinamide, PEA, and OEA--that mimic cellular affects of a 36-hour fast, supporting autophagy, metabolic health, and inflammation. This approach is especially helpful for people who struggle with fasting, such as older adults, women in their reproductive years, or those with metabolic issues. Clinical trials have shown Mimio improves hunger regulation, glucose levels, cholesterol, and markers of biological aging, even when taken with food. Dr. Rhodes also shares what's coming in the future for biomimetics! Dr. Chris Rhodes is a PhD in Nutritional Biochemisty 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.
