On this episode of Mind Body Peak Performance, Nick has a conversation with Adam Lewis of Othership. They dive deep into the world of breathwork.
Tune in as they share insights on breathwork for emotional balance, the science behind various breathwork techniques, and its impact on physical performance and mental well-being. Discover the power of observation, the interplay between breathwork and meditation, and the mastery of non-ordinary states.
Meet our guest
Adam has spent years performing and working in the health and wellness space as a founder, facilitator and athlete. His passion for wellbeing was greatly amplified by his time as an internationally competitive sprinter, obsessing over uncovering new modalities to increase physical performances which naturally evolved into seeking optimization of total well-being across mind, body and spirit. In embarking on this path he inevitably set himself on the trajectory for exploring the realms of the esoteric, psychedelic, breath and beyond.
Adam's curiosity to continually learn, evolve and help others is what motivates him to expand my presence to make an impact on his own life and those around him. These days it is spent applying his learnings and embodying practices to support and strengthen others through hot, cold, breath with his work at Othership. All as part of his dedicated mission to be in service to the community and collective.

36-Hour Fast in a Pill With Biomimetic Supplements | Chris Rhodes @ Mimio Health
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
On this episode of Mind Body Peak Performance, Nick is joined by and Dr. Chris Rhodes, Founder and CEO of Mimio Health. They explore biomimetic supplementation and its ability to replicate fasting benefits.
From the science behind lifespan extension to the potential of biomimetic supplements, they delve into metabolic health, fasting, and the future of regenerative states. Stay tuned for insights on longevity, fasting mimetic molecules, and the impact of validated supplements.
Meet our guest
Mimio Health is a nutritechnology company creating first-of-their-kind biomimetic supplements designed from human biology to recreate the body's innate regenerative systems. Now available to the public, their biomimetic formula (Mimio) was discovered by founder Dr. Chris Rhodes while obtaining his Ph.D. in Nutritional Biochemistry at UC Davis.
Designed to study and decode the longevity-enhancing effects of fasting, his research found that there are unique molecules produced in the human body that are only elevated during a 36-hour fast. By taking these "fasting metabolites" and giving them back to our cells, his team could mimic the beneficial effects of fasting and nearly double the lifespan of model organisms. All without any need to fast.
