Biomimetic might not be a household term (yet), but it’s one of the most interesting fields of research and technology out there. Simply put, biomimetic science is the process of studying and mimicking biology in order to find ways that the natural world can help us solve problems. If you’ve ever heard the term “nature knows best”, that’s what biomimicry is all about.


From velcro to antibiotics and even swimsuits designed from shark skin, biomimetic science has led to some amazing innovations. Even now, scientists (like us) are using biomimetic research to unlock the power of biology to help cure diseases, regrow organs, and enhance our longevity.

But what makes biomimicry so special?


We humans are pretty smart, but, no offense to us, nature is even smarter. If there’s a problem that needs to be solved, likely, nature has already spent thousands of years finding a solution.

By studying the world around us and recreating its systems, we can tap into thousands if not millions of years of evolutionary knowledge. Almost like a cheat sheet to scientific discovery. Biomimicry enables us to harness naturally designed systems that have been perfected through millennia of trial and error and use them to improve our daily lives.


Not only does this approach help us make discoveries faster, but it also helps us get better results because nature has already built a working “prototype.” All we have to do is replicate it and improve on the design where we can.

So what does this have to do with Longevity?


Glad you asked! It may come as no surprise that I am a big believer in biomimetic science.


When I learned that prolonged fasting activates your body's built-in longevity mode, I wanted to understand the human biology behind it. That’s why I dedicated over seven years of research to uncover fasting’s secrets to living a longer, healthier life.


Countless studies have shown that long periods of fasting activate a cellular survival mode within organisms that optimizes their function, enhances their health, and, ultimately, extends their lifespan.

Through my years of biomimetic research and studying what happens in the human body during prolonged fasting, I was able to identify and recreate those same cellular benefits without any need to fast.


This is biomimicry and it is the future. We now have the technology to reproduce molecules that are naturally produced by the body in a given state and recreate them allowing us to reap the benefits on demand.

My foundational discoveries on fasting to enhance health and lifespan is just the tip of one iceberg. There are so many incredible scientists and doctors doing their own unique biomimetic research.


Together we can unravel the secrets of human biology and put them at our fingertips to unlock our natural potential. From exercise to sleep to meditation, the human body is loaded with regenerative states and protective molecules we want to harness to enhance our healthspan.


Biomimetic science has already given us so many extraordinary innovations, but just wait for what’s to come!
