In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, hosts Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, Steve Reiter, and guest Chris Rhodes delve into the multi-faceted benefits of fasting, beyond metabolic factors, for overall health and longevity. Chris Rhodes is a biochemistry graduate from Loyola Marymount University and Nutritional Biochemistry PhD from UC Davis. He completed an Immunology fellowship at Stanford, where he developed a passion for longevity and anti-aging research. Initially, it seemed to be a myth, but Chris soon realized that it's a legitimate area of research with an enormous impact on disease prevention. Chris is dedicated to exploring the science behind longevity to find solutions that can solve the progression of all diseases, which is why he is Co-Founder and CEO at Mimio Health. Mimio is a nutraceutical company pioneering the world's first fasting mimetic supplement designed from clinical research to replicate the cellular health benefits of fasting without the need to fast. In this conversation, they explore fasting's profound impact on key factors such as cholesterol eFlux, inflammation, and oxidative stress while cautioning against hasty and excessive fasting practices. Rhodes provides valuable insights from his research on metabolites and their role in lifespan extension. The three also examine the positive effects of 36-hour fasting and discuss a promising CBD alternative, Pea, as a potential lifespan extender. The episode underlines the importance of consistent longevity practices and provides a comprehensive understanding of fasting as a tool for enhanced health and anti-aging.
