80–93% of Americans test positive for glyphosate in urine samples. A UC San Diego study documented a 1,200% increase in urinary glyphosate levels over 23 years. It's in beer, wine, honey, and infant formula. Already inside most people's bodies, whether they know it or not.

I spent almost a year supplementing with Mimio, a fasting mimetic designed to deliver the same molecules your body produces during a 36-hour fast. Then I ran biological age tests before, during, and after to see if anything actually changed. The results were not what I expected. My pace of aging slowed down measurably over that period, and my biological age markers shifted in the right direction, without changing my diet or lifestyle in any meaningful way. What made this conversation with Dr. Chris Rhodes particularly interesting was not just the supplement. It was understanding why fasting works at the molecular level, how long you actually need to fast to get real autophagy benefits, and what most people doing 16:8 are missing entirely. The science here is more nuanced than most longevity content lets on.

@MrCozyAZ Thanks for reading!

@mkummer82 Thank you for this information.

I eat 4-5 eggs and half an avocado almost every morning. It takes five minutes, costs a couple bucks, and covers more nutritional ground than most people manage in an entire day of processed food. Here's why this pairing is so effective — and why the cholesterol fears were dead wrong:

One more thing: source matters. Penn State researchers found pastured eggs had 2.5x the omega-3s, 2x the vitamin E, and 38% more vitamin A than conventional. The hen's diet becomes your diet. Buy pasture-raised, find a local farm, or raise your own flock like we do. Full breakdown — the studies, the sourcing, and how I prepare them — here: michaelkummer.com/benefits-of-eg…

The PURE study tracked 177,000 people across 50 countries and found no association between egg intake and cardiovascular disease. The U.S. Dietary Guidelines removed the cholesterol cap in 2015. The science has moved on — most dietary advice hasn't caught up yet.

Some fixes don't need a plan. They just need a decision.

Some people assume animal-based means zero plants. That's not how I look at it. After years of eating this way, I've found three roles plants can genuinely fill — even in a meat-centered diet: medicinal use, flavor, and cultural connection. Not as a nutritional base. Not as a substitute for organs, meat, or eggs. As a deliberate addition, chosen carefully and prepared right. Oregano oil for a respiratory infection. Ginger when your stomach is off. Chamomille to relax and unwind. These aren't superfoods — they're tools, and they work. The same goes for fermentation, soaking, and peeling, which can strip out a significant amount of the anti-nutrients that make plants problematic in the first place. And then there's the table. A home-cooked meal shared with family, with ingredients that connect you to where you came from — that has real value. One my wife introduced to our household years ago, and one I'm not willing to give up.

A glyphosate safety study was just retracted. 25 years after publication. After it became one of the most cited papers in the field. After regulators worldwide leaned on it. The emails showing industry manipulation were available since 2017. Researchers kept citing it anyway.

There's a 2026 EPA deadline to re-examine glyphosate safety. Court-ordered. The most likely outcome: a reaffirmed "not likely carcinogenic" position with updated paperwork. Which then gets cited as fresh science for the next decade.

No administration — left or right — has been willing to disrupt glyphosate. Because glyphosate isn't just a chemical. It's the financial backbone of commodity agriculture. And commodity agriculture funds campaigns.

"Food security and national defense." That's the justification for protecting glyphosate. A population drowning in chronic disease, dependent on chemicals from foreign-owned corporations, is not a defense asset. It's a liability.
