In this episode, John Kim sits down with Dr. Chris Rhodes, a nutritional biochemist and biohacking pioneer, to uncover the truth about fasting—and a revolutionary shortcut that could change everything. From the myths of intermittent fasting to the hidden benefits of extended fasts, Dr. Rhodes shares his research, self-experiments, and the breakthrough supplement MIMIO that mimics the body’s fasting state without the struggle. Whether you’re fasting-curious, already skipping meals, or simply want better energy, less bloating, and a path to longevity, this conversation is packed with science, storytelling, and real solutions. What You’ll Learn: * Why most people are “fasting wrong” * The real benefits that kick in after 24–36 hours without food * How fasting impacts inflammation, bloating, and cellular health * The science behind MIMIO: fasting without fasting * Practical tips for making fasting sustainable in real life Learn more about MIMIO, HERE [https://mimiohealth.com/] Follow Dr. Rhodes on TikTok, HERE [https://www.tiktok.com/@thatnutritiondr] Order John's new book, Break Up.

In today’s deeply moving episode, John shares a story most therapists would never dare reveal - the client who still haunts him years later. This isn’t about clinical textbooks or success stories. It’s about the raw, unfiltered truth of what happens when therapy collides with real life, addiction, and the weight of responsibility no one prepares you for. What you’ll learn: * Why peace matters more than ever in today’s noisy world * The hidden trauma therapists experience alongside their clients * What it feels like when a client disappears under your care * Why not every therapist is “the one” who changes a client’s life * How to protect your peace and boundaries, even in chaos Where do you find peace - and how do you protect it?

Sometimes life forces you to hit reset. For me, it was losing my house. For you, it might be a breakup, a career shift, or just that nagging feeling that life is smaller than it should be. In this walk-and-talk episode from Costa Rica, I share how I’ve been redefining everything: happiness, relationships, play, even what “success” means. The truth is - growth doesn’t come from routines. It comes from curiosity, from being willing to reimagine your definitions. You’ll hear stories of: * My second rebirth at 52 * How living abroad reshaped my creativity and sense of play * Why redefining doesn’t require moving countries—it can start with friendships, hobbies, or daily joy * The hidden power of changing your environment My challenge for you: What’s one thing you can redefine this week?
