Episode 67: How to Mimic a 36-Hour Fast Without Fasting: The Science, Health Benefits, and All Your Fasting Questions Answered with Dr. Chris Rhodes, Founder of Mimeo Health
Episode Summary:
In this fascinating episode, Dr. Chris Rhodes returns to the BiohackerBlondie Podcast to dive into the science behind fasting, cellular longevity, and his breakthrough formulation—Mimeo—a fasting mimetic supplement shown to mimic the effects of a 36-hour fast.
Jenny and Dr. Rhodes explore how fasting activates dormant longevity programs in the body, the clinical trials behind Mimeo, and how four specific molecules—nicotinamide, spermidine, PEA, and OEA—can recreate the regenerative benefits of extended fasting without the need to skip meals.
If you've ever struggled with fasting, appetite control, or metabolic resilience—this episode is your shortcut to understanding the molecular magic behind fasting... and how to harness it daily.
What You’ll Learn:
🔬 The Science of Fasting:
Why fasting is one of the few proven interventions to extend lifespan and healthspan
How alternate day fasting works—and why it’s not practical for most people
Social downsides of long fasts and how Mimeo solves that problem
💊 Inside the Formula:
How Dr. Rhodes discovered the fasting mimetic molecule combination
Why PEA (palmitoyl ethanolamide) outperformed even spermidine and nicotinamide in longevity trials
The surprising role of OEA in appetite suppression and fat metabolism
🧪 Clinical Research Findings:
36-hour fasts increased antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular markers
Mimeo replicated those benefits even when taken with food
8-week placebo-controlled study showed reduced LDL, better fasting glucose, and less bloating
🔥 Performance + Recovery Benefits:
Real-world stories from marathon runners and cyclists who saw improved endurance and recovery
How Mimeo may help with hunger "withdrawals" during GLP-1 tapering (Ozempic/Semaglutide)
🧠 Dr. Rhodes’ Daily Routine:
Why he takes Mimeo every morning with green tea
His one-meal-a-day lifestyle vs. his co-founder (and sister)’s intermittent fasting approach
His “nutrition magic” approach to optimizing meals without sacrificing flavor or satisfaction
Key Ingredients in Mimeo:
Nicotinamide – NAD⁺ precursor for energy metabolism
Spermidine – Autophagy activator for cellular renewal
PEA (Palmitoyl Ethanolamide) – Endocannabinoid for anti-inflammation, pain relief, and cognition
OEA (Oleoylethanolamide) – Gut-brain molecule for satiety and fat burning
