Fasting is one of the most talked-about health practices of our time, yet it’s also one of the most misunderstood. That’s why I’m thrilled to sit down with Dr. Chris Rhodes, PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry, to dive deep into the science, history, and future of fasting for health and longevity. Chris explains how fasting is hardwired into our biology as a survival mechanism, the differences between intermittent fasting, 36-hour fasts, and alternate-day fasting, and why longer fasts can regenerate immune cells, reduce inflammation, and promote longevity.

If you’ve ever been curious about fasting but struggled to make it part of your lifestyle, or if you’re looking for cutting-edge insights into extending healthspan, this conversation is packed with science, clarity, and practical takeaways you won’t want to miss.
