Nutritional Biologist, Co-Founder & CEO of Mimio Health

Dr. Chris Rhodes, PhD, is a leading expert in nutrition, biomimetics, and healthy aging. 8 years of rigorous clinical fasting research at UC Davis led him to discover unique molecules; nicotinamide, spermidine, PEA, and OEA upregulate in the body during a fast, working to reduce inflammation, fight oxidative stress, and support heart and metabolic health. This led him to create Mimio™, the world’s first fasting mimetic supplement. Designed from human biology, award-winning Mimio delivers the same beneficial molecules the body produces during a 36-hour fast, providing measurable cellular, metabolic and longevity benefits without requiring any change in diet or lifestyle. Backed by three clinical studies, Mimio represents a breakthrough in accessible healthspan optimization. As CEO and scientific founder of Mimio Health, Dr. Rhodes continues to push forward the next generation of biohacking, using biomimetic research to develop products that can mimic the benefits of exercise, sleep, cold exposure, and more.

Your body already knows how to live to 120 in perfect health. It's just not doing it. That realization is what sent Dr. Chris Rhodes down the fasting research path during his PhD in nutritional biochemistry at UC Davis. His argument? Most people doing 16:8 intermittent fasting aren't getting nearly the benefits they think they are. The body doesn't flip into fasting mode until glycogen stores are depleted, which typically takes 20 to 24 hours. Autophagy, stem cell regeneration, and the real anti...
