559. How to Fast While Eating Food...Really! The Fasting Hack That Gives You All The Benefits Without the Misery!

Podcasts
Jan 19, 2026

 

Can you really get the life-extending, disease-preventing benefits of fasting… without actually fasting?

That’s the question I dive into today with Dr. Chris Rhodes, a nutritional biochemist who spent years mapping what happens in the body during prolonged fasts. We explore the powerful cellular changes that fasting triggers, from autophagy and DNA repair to inflammation reduction and longevity - and how a new supplement may mimic those same benefits without the hunger, muscle loss, or social challenges that come with extended fasting.

We get into the surprising ways fasting impacts cancer risk, thyroid health, weight loss, and even aging itself. You’ll hear about the groundbreaking research behind Mimio, why certain molecules only appear in the body after 36+ hours of fasting, and how scientists combined them into a formula shown to extend lifespan by nearly double in lab studies.

If you’ve ever struggled to stick with fasting protocols, worried about protein loss, or wondered whether fasting is even safe for women in perimenopause and menopause, this conversation will open your eyes to a whole new possibility.

Tune in! You may never look at fasting (or longevity) the same way again.
