This allows researchers to understand what people actually burn across the day, beyond estimates from fitness trackers, calorie equations, or short-term lab measures.Mikki and Hannah discuss the idea that metabolism is “stable” from 20 to 60, whether menopause uniquely affects energy expenditure, why body fat can increase even when scale weight stays the same, and why preserving fat-free mass becomes increasingly important with age.This is a nuanced, evidence-based conversation for anyone interested in metabolism, midlife body composition changes, and what ageing really means for energy needs.https://www.pbrc.edu/research-and-faculty/faculty/cabre-hannah.aspxHannah E. Cabré, PhD, RD, is an Assistant Professor at Pennington Biomedical Research Center and Director of the Aging, Gynecology, and Endocrinology Laboratory. Her research focuses on how female sex hormones influence nutrition, health, performance, and body composition across the lifespan, with a particular interest in sex differences during ageing.Hannah's work explores the importance of skeletal muscle maintenance for long-term health, especially during the menopause transition, and how lifestyle interventions may help mitigate age-related changes in body composition and healthspan.  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki unpacks the real-world pros, cons and practicalities of food tracking. While macro counting is often sold as the “gold standard,” Mikki explains why tracking is less about complexity and more about the time, accuracy and skill required to do it well. She covers why beginners often underestimate the learning curve, how app databases can mislead, and why weighing food, logging extras and understanding raw versus cooked weights matter. The episode also explores the evidence around self-monitoring, adherence drop-off, photo-based tracking, and why consistency often matters more than perfection. Ultimately, tracking is framed as a tool, not a life sentence: useful for building food awareness, but not the only path to fat loss or maintenance. Highlights Why food tracking is “arduous,” not complicated  The common mistakes that make macro tracking inaccurate  What the research says about consistency, adherence and weight loss  Photo-based tracking: great for patterns, poor for precision  How tracking can build lasting food knowledge beyond the app Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

This is a special episode, and was originally part of the Mondays Matter curriculum, a Zoom call held with members earlier this year. As part of that, Michelle shares her own updated journey with her health and wellbeing, something she is very transparent about, of which is so helpful for anyone listening.Michelle is a health and life coach in Taranaki who has helped hundreds of people redefine their relationship with food and themselves using strategies that she has perfected over two decades of understanding this for herself. Part of this is not always having the answers or implementing best laid plans, but having grace and acceptance when that isn't possible. https://www.michellematangi.com/https://www.instagram.com/michellematangi/https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/74 https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/172https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/320 Mastering maintenance webinar https://www.mikkiwilliden.com/mastering-maintenance-webinar Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

In this Mini-Mikkipedia episode, Mikki explores the emerging intersection between GLP-1 medications and ADHD, particularly around appetite, impulsivity, reward-seeking behaviour, and food noise. While there is currently no direct evidence that GLP-1s improve attention or focus, there is growing interest in how these medications act on brain reward circuits involved in compulsive eating, cue reactivity, alcohol intake, and other hedonic behaviours. Mikki breaks down why ADHD is more than an attention issue, explaining its links with dopamine regulation, obesity risk, binge eating, and emotional eating patterns. She also discusses why GLP-1s may be helpful for some adults with ADHD, while potentially creating issues such as low mood, flatness, reduced motivation, or under-fuelling in others. A nuanced one — less “magic bullet,” more “know the machinery.” Highlights / Topics Covered: Why ADHD is closely tied to dopamine, reward-seeking, impulsivity, and eating behaviour  The relationship between ADHD, obesity, binge eating, and “food addiction” patterns  How GLP-1 medications may influence reward circuits, food noise, cue reactivity, and compulsive eating  Why GLP-1s could be helpful for some people with ADHD but may worsen flatness, motivation, or mood in others  Practical considerations around nutrition, protein intake, stimulant medications, appetite suppression, and monitoring Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Hello, MIFV MAX members! First-time guest Rob Buck of The Power Chamber Podcast joins Nate for "The Ultra Journey" to discuss the first of its kind in the Ultra Series: Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light. This was the first wholly original tie-in film for a then-current Ultraman show on TV. While the title promises a crossover, behind-the-scenes shenanigans kept it from being as epic as it could've been. That being said, as a "midquel" for Dyna, it's a solid piece of tokusatsu. The film explicitly expresses the franchise's vehement anti-nihilism worldview and shows why the TDG Trilogy era is beloved. Since one of the main antagonists, the amazingly named Deathfacer, is an evil giant robot programmed with the memories of the Super GUTS team, this episode's Toku Topic is a (sorta) brief history of artificial intelligence (A.I.).

What happens when surviving cancer as a newborn, enduring a stroke in your 30s, and facing emergency open-heart surgery becomes the foundation for a life lived with purpose, perspective, and courage? In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, I sit down with my friend Mikki Gates, a TEDx speaker, executive leader, advocate, and someone whose story will stay with you long after this conversation ends. Mikki shares how being born with cancer shaped her outlook from the very beginning, why a series of missed diagnoses nearly cost her life, and how a massive tumor inside her heart was finally discovered only after she suffered a stroke. What followed was emergency surgery, years of recovery, and a profound shift in how she viewed herself, her work, and what truly matters. Together, we talk about the difference between being fearless and being resilient, why becoming unshakable has nothing to do with perfection, and how learning to advocate for yourself can change the course of your life. Mikki also opens up about the pressure many high achievers place on themselves, the challenge of letting go of perfectionism, and why wellness deserves a place alongside ambition rather than behind it. This conversation is a reminder that strength is not about avoiding hardship. It is about continuing forward when life becomes uncertain. Whether you are facing a personal challenge, navigating change at work, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, Mikki offers a perspective that can help you pause, breathe, and see your circumstances through a different lens. We also discuss finding joy during difficult seasons, permitting yourself to rest, and one powerful question that may completely change how you think about your worries and struggles. It is a conversation about perspective, humanity, and discovering what really matters when everything else falls away. As you listen, ask yourself: If life forced you to stop and reassess everything tomorrow, what would you want to change today? And what might become possible if you permitted yourself to become a little more unshakable?

Matt explains what metabolic psychiatry actually is, how it differs from conventional psychiatric approaches, and why factors like insulin resistance, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction are now being considered key drivers in conditions such as depression, anxiety, and more severe psychiatric disorders.They explore the growing interest in nutritional and metabolic interventions, including dietary strategies like carbohydrate restriction, and how these may influence brain energy, neurotransmitter function, and symptom outcomes. The discussion also touches on where the evidence currently sits, what clinicians should be cautious about, and how to think about integrating these approaches alongside standard care.It's a thought-provoking conversation that challenges traditional models of mental health, while offering a more biologically grounded way of understanding and supporting the brain.Dr. Matt Bernstein is a highly respected clinical psychiatrist and a leading voice in metabolic psychiatry, with 25 years of experience helping individuals achieve full mental health and functional recovery.He graduated summa cum laude from Columbia University in English literature and earned his medical degree from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Trained at MGH/McLean, he served as chief resident and later held leadership roles including psychiatrist-in-charge and assistant medical director of the schizophrenia and bipolar inpatient program. He also serves as chief medical officer at Ellenhorn, developing community-based strategies to optimize mental health.For the past five years, Dr. Bernstein has focused on metabolic psychiatry, first in his private practice, and then at Ellenhorn. More recently, he created Accord's comprehensive program and is sharing his expertise through podcasts, national conferences, and briefings for members of Congress. He co-organized the first public conference on metabolic psychiatry, and co-leads a privately funded study evaluating outcomes of Accord's pioneering interventions.He serves on advisory and non-profit boards, including Metabolic Mind, Meru Health, The Metabolic Revolution, and the Coalition for Metabolic Health, helping advance the field both clinically and publicly.https://accordmh.com/our-team/matt-bernstein/ Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki explores whether fruit and vegetables really “boost” immunity in the way we often hear during winter. While produce absolutely supports health, the clinical evidence suggests its immune benefits are more specific than the marketing implies, especially for those starting from a low intake. Mikki unpacks research on fruit and vegetable intake, vaccine response, vitamin C loss in stored produce, and why frozen vegetables deserve more respect. She then broadens the conversation into what actually moves the needle for immune resilience: adequate energy intake, sufficient protein, correcting true vitamin D and zinc deficiencies, and supporting gut health through fermented foods and dietary variety. The takeaway? Your immune system does not need hype; it needs enough fuel, enough protein, and the right nutrients. Tiny old-school truth bomb, really. Highlights / Topics Covered: Why “boosting immunity” is an oversimplified claim  What human trials show about fruit, vegetables, and immune function  How storage affects vitamin C in fresh produce  Why frozen vegetables can be a smart nutritional choice  The hierarchy of immune support: food, protein, vitamin D, zinc, and gut health Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Johnny Mac recaps The Hollywood Reporter's comedians roundtable recorded in May at the Georgian Hotel with Marc Maron, Nikki Glaser, Wanda Sykes, Leanne Morgan, and Julio Torres, focusing on fears like complacency and cancellation and quoting Maron on talking to himself and Glaser comparing standup to sex and discussing pressure to work clean from bookers, agents, and TV; Maron jokes he stays a little dirty to keep success away and notes he can do clean sets. He notes Hannah Berner's new Hulu special, None of My Business, and her comments about making specials, confidence, and wanting the special to be a comfort watch. Bert Kreischer tells Fox News about blood clots that forced him to stop drinking and how it may have saved him in the tour bus fire.

Brad explains the proposed mechanisms, the current human evidence, and what outcomes have actually been shown to improve, from cellular-level changes through to potential real-world benefits.Mikki and Brad also discuss who may be the best fit for a supplement like this, including older adults, athletes, and those already doing the fundamentals well, while also addressing the limitations of the current research and how to think about bias when science and industry intersect.The conversation then shifts to resistance training, where Brad shares key takeaways from the ACSM position stand he led, including what matters most for strength, hypertrophy, and health, and what people can probably stop overthinking.It's a balanced, evidence-informed conversation about mitochondrial health, supplementation, strength training, and the practical foundations that still matter most.Brad Currier is the Science Lead at Timeline Nutrition, where his work focuses on translating emerging research on mitochondrial health into practical, evidence-based applications. In particular, he has been closely involved in the science and communication around Urolithin A, the active ingredient in Mitopure, and its potential role in supporting muscle function, cellular energy, and healthy ageing.With a background in exercise science and resistance training research, Brad brings a dual lens to his work—combining performance-focused insights with a broader interest in longevity and metabolic health. He has contributed to large-scale evidence syntheses in resistance training, helping clarify what actually matters for strength, hypertrophy, and overall health, and where the field may have overcomplicated things.At Timeline, his role sits at the intersection of research, education, and application, helping bridge the gap between mechanistic science, clinical relevance, and real-world use—particularly as interest grows in interventions that support muscle and mitochondrial function across the lifespan.Brad Currier https://www.instagram.com/bradcurrier.phd/• ACSM Position Stand on Resistance Training (2026) - https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/fulltext/2026/04000/american_college_of_sports_medicine_position.21.aspx• Timeline Nutrition - https://www.timeline.com• Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

In this Mini Mikkiepdia episode, Mikki takes a fresh look at omega-3 fatty acids beyond the usual “good for your heart and brain” message. She explores emerging and lesser-known research on omega-3s and their potential role in protecting muscle during immobilisation, supporting fertility and oocyte quality, reducing period pain, improving submaximal exercise efficiency, and possibly influencing dementia and colorectal polyp risk. Mikki also discusses the difference between marine omega-3s like EPA and DHA, and plant-based ALA, including surprising findings in motor neurone disease research. With practical dosing context, cautions around study limitations, and a reminder to consider omega-3 index testing, this episode is a useful listen for active people, women in perimenopause, athletes, and anyone interested in targeted supplementation. Highlights / Topics Covered: How omega-3s may reduce muscle loss during injury, surgery, or immobilisation  The role of EPA and DHA in fertility, period pain, and inflammatory pathways  Emerging research on omega-3s, APOE4, dementia risk, and brain structure  Why athletes may benefit from improved submaximal heart rate and perceived effort  Practical dosing considerations and why the omega-3 index matters Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

The discussion explores the difference between being naturally flexible and having true hypermobility, along with the often-overlooked symptoms like chronic pain, fatigue, and proprioceptive challenges. Melissa explains what's happening beneath the surface with joint stability and connective tissue, and why traditional approaches to exercise can sometimes do more harm than good.The conversation then shifts into what actually works. From strength training and motor control to pacing, recovery, and rebuilding trust in the body, Melissa shares a clear framework for managing hypermobility safely and effectively. They also touch on the role of muscle mass, nutrition, and daily habits in supporting long-term function.It's a grounded and reassuring conversation for anyone navigating a body that feels unpredictable, offering both clarity and practical direction.Melissa is a physical therapist with over two decades of experience, specialising in hypermobility, joint pain, and movement rehabilitation. She lives with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) herself, giving her a unique perspective on both the clinical and lived realities of the condition.Originally a nationally competitive level 10 gymnast, Melissa's flexibility was once a strength but ultimately contributed to a series of injuries, including a career-ending stress fracture in her lower back. Ongoing pain led her to explore different movement modalities, including Pilates, yoga, and strength and conditioning. While each offered benefits, it was the integration of these approaches that proved most effective.Melissa went on to develop the ChimeraFit method, a system that combines elements of Pilates, yoga, strength, and balance training to support people with hypermobility, arthritis, and chronic joint pain. She has been teaching this approach for over 20 years, helping individuals build strength, stability, and confidence in their bodies through safe and effective movement.https://www.instagram.com/dr.melissakoehl.pt/https://www.chimera-health.com/ground-control-september-2026-waitlisthttps://www.chimera-health.com/  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

This week's Mini Mikkipedia takes a closer look at multivitamins, nutrient status, and whether a daily broad-spectrum supplement may support cognitive ageing. Mikki discusses the COSMOS trial, a large randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that examined multivitamin use in older adults, with a particular focus on the cognitive findings from its ancillary studies. While the parent trial did not show significant benefits for cancer or cardiovascular disease, the cognitive studies found consistent benefits for episodic memory, with effects estimated to be equivalent to slowing cognitive ageing by around two to three years. Mikki also unpacks the limitations, including modest effect sizes, population generalisability, supplement formulation, and why supplements should support, not replace, the fundamentals of nutrition, exercise and sleep. Highlights: Why calorie deficits can increase the risk of micronutrient insufficiency  What the COSMOS trial tells us about multivitamins and brain ageing  The difference between observational research and randomised controlled trials  Why episodic memory may be particularly responsive to nutrient status  Why supplement quality, nutrient forms, and baseline deficiency risk matter  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Good Morning Nashville ☀️ WE ARE EXCITED TO BE DEBUTING AN ALL NEW SEASON, DEDICATING THE ENTIRE MONTH OF MAY TO THE BLACK WOMEN IN OUR COMMUNITY! THE THEME OF THIS MONTH: MENTAL HEALTH & ME ‼️To anyone listening in today … as black men, we have to really be more intentional behind protecting our black women. With that said … let's get into today's first episode for our Mental Health & Me season on the Black Men Vent Too Podcast ⭐️ A native of Kansas City, Missouri, migrating here three years ago, and raised by a single mother that she says “did not play”. We present to some and introduce to others our good friend and sister Mrs. Lavonnda “Mikki” Brown. ⭐️ Being the first out of her siblings to go to college, she originally went to school to be a mathematician. While not taking on that career fully, she was able to learn something's that led her to working at a bank after graduating from college. She talks to us about going through pregnancy during her 3rd year of school, while working roughly 40-45 hour weeks as well as be enrolled in a dual-enrollment program that had her split between two schools. She gives God all the credit and the glory, and really encourages our audience to walk through their mental health journey with a little more faith. ✝️But, isn't it often frustrating when someone will tell you to just “pray” your problems away? For some, it may not be as easy as sending up a prayer, and often times we miss the opportunity to be present by thinking that a prayer is the immediate answer to immediate issues. We talk with Mrs. Mikki about the line between mental health and faith, and how it becomes jaded in conversation with which one should benefit the other. You'll enjoy today's episode, take some time to listen to a black woman vent today. ✌

Mikki Mase is one of the most polarizing figures to emerge from the world of high-stakes gambling. An actor, entrepreneur, and gambler, Mikki has publicly claimed more than $32 million in casino winnings, including a seven-day run exceeding $11 million — stories that have fueled fascination, skepticism, controversy, and millions of views online. But this conversation goes far beyond gambling. In this episode, we explore the psychology of risk, addiction, control, identity, and what it means to operate in environments where most people would completely fall apart under pressure. From growing up around underground gambling culture and challenging authority from an early age… to baccarat systems, casino bans, massive losses, and claims that casinos manipulate games behind the scenes… Mikki shares the mindset and philosophy that shaped his life. We get into: Why he believes most people are conditioned to live inside invisible boundaries The emotional reality behind massive wins and losses Why he tells people NOT to gamble The infamous $11M baccarat run and what really happened Casinos, surveillance, shufflers, and claims of manipulation The Phil Ivey controversy and edge sorting explained Addiction, ego, loneliness, and high-stakes decision making Why he believes modern life is built on "smoke and mirrors" And how he views legacy, mythology, and the polarized reactions surrounding his story This is a fascinating conversation about pressure, extremes, systems, and the psychology of living on the edge.

Matt helps unpack why protein has become such a focal point, how to interpret the current evidence, and what outcomes actually matter when we're talking about intake and health. They explore the long-standing protein RDA and what it was designed to represent.The discussion then moves into protein quality, addressing common claims around plant versus animal protein, and why mechanistic research doesn't always align with long-term health outcomes. Matt also provides important context around dietary patterns and chronic disease risk, helping to separate the role of protein itself from the broader way people eat.They finish with a dive into choline, covering its role in the body, how it interacts with other nutrients like folate and betaine, and what this means for people following predominantly plant-based diets.It's a thoughtful, nuanced conversation that cuts through the noise and brings clarity to some of the biggest questions in modern nutrition.Dr Matt Nagra is a naturopathic doctor who graduated from the Boucher Institute after completing a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology at the University of Victoria. He holds additional board certifications in prescriptive authority, immunisations, advanced injection therapies, intravenous therapies, and acupuncture. Using an evidence-based approach, he creates individualised treatment protocols tailored to each patient's health goals and lifestyle.He has a particular passion for plant-based and vegan nutrition, physical medicine, and chronic disease treatment. With additional training in nutrition, he holds a Plant-Based Nutrition Certification from Cornell University and the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies, where he has also authored multiple articles. His work aims to support individuals in thriving on plant-based diets, while bridging the gap between lifestyle-based interventions and medical care.Choline paper: https://www.academia.edu/3067-1345/2/4/10.20935/AcadNutr8085Instagram: @dr.matthewnagraDr. Nagra's website Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki explores the concept of metabolic memory—a powerful and often overlooked driver of long-term health. Drawing on landmark studies like DCCT and UKPDS, she explains how periods of poor metabolic health can leave a lasting imprint, continuing to influence disease risk even after markers like blood glucose are brought back under control. But it's not all bad news. Mikki also unpacks the flip side: how positive adaptations from training, nutrition, and metabolic challenges can create a beneficial “memory” that helps the body rebound faster and perform better over time. From epigenetics to mitochondrial function, this episode highlights why timing matters and why early intervention—and consistency—can shape your metabolic future. Highlights: What metabolic memory is and where the concept originated  The “legacy effect” in diabetes research and why early control matters  Cellular mechanisms: epigenetics, oxidative stress, and AGEs  The positive side: training, ketosis, and metabolic flexibility  Why your past habits—good or bad—continue to influence your health Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Kristy Woodson Harvey spotlights NICU nurses, sports coaches, and a small town in her annual summer novel, this time Summer State of Mind. If you've ever wondered “how something like this could happen in a town like theirs,” Kristy will pull back the curtain. But don't worry: as Kristy says, “There are some secrets that come to light through the course of (the book), but you know, it's me, and I love a happy ending.” Hear how Kristy learned everything she needed to on the tennis court, how decisions aren't black and white, and how this book stretched her talent. Mikki Brammer's novel Good Joy, Bad Joy is this month's Barnes & Noble Book Club Pick — and it's clear why. By delving into the lives of two elderly women, Joy and Hazel— who truly don't see themselves that way — Mikki paints a delicate portrait of female friendship, the secrets we keep, and how we cope when a loved one falls ill. Plus it's a little devious. The real question, according to Mikki? “What is a life well lived and have I lived it fully?” Dive in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Don walks through the historical context behind early guidelines, including where things may have gone off track, particularly around the treatment of fat, cholesterol, and protein-rich foods.From there, the discussion moves into the science. Don outlines the limitations of relying heavily on observational nutrition research and contrasts this with findings from controlled trials, particularly in relation to protein requirements and metabolic health. He explains why he recommended a shift to the new protein targets to better support muscle, satiety, and overall health.Dr. Donald Layman is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Layman has been a leader in research about protein, nutrition for athletic performance, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular health. Dr. Layman has over 100 peer-reviewed publications. He has received numerous awards for his research from the American Society for Nutrition and the National Institutes for Health and for his nutrition teaching. Dr. Layman currently serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior and on the editorial boards of Nutrition & Metabolism, and Nutrition Research and Practice. Dr. Layman has an extensive consulting background including work with NASA, the Shriners Children's Hospital, the US Air Force plus numerous food companies and organizations including Kraft Foods, Nestlé, Agropur and the National Dairy Council.

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki breaks down one of the most persistent nutrition debates: are high-protein diets actually harmful? Drawing on a recent perspective paper published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, she unpacks common claims around kidney damage, bone loss, diabetes risk, and reduced longevity. Rather than dismissing concerns outright, Mikki walks through what the research truly shows, highlighting key methodological flaws, the limits of observational data, and the importance of context. From overfeeding studies to real-world dietary patterns, this episode challenges headline-driven narratives and brings nuance back into the conversation. If you've ever questioned whether your protein intake is “too high,” this is a grounded, evidence-informed discussion to help you cut through the noise and make more confident decisions.Highlights: Why the “protein turns to fat” claim doesn't hold up in real-world studies  The truth about protein intake and kidney health in healthy individuals  How higher protein diets impact bone density and fracture risk  The nuance behind protein, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes  Why observational data often misleads protein-related health claims Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! We meet now...at the end of all things. Or at least the end of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2. Nate gushes over what might be the best episode of the series, discussing the Kong vs. Titan X fight, the show's trademark "drama logic," and the unfortunately spoiled surprise at the end. (Hint: It ties to one of MIFV's most popular episodes). Then Nate concludes with his theories about where season 3 could potentially go, if the series is renewed and gives his final thoughts on the season as a whole.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In part 2 of the originally Patreon-exclusive weekly coverage of season 2 of AppleTV+'s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the show's valleys start manifesting—but this stretch episodes also includes Godzilla. For one episode, Nate had to look up a Japanese children's song he'd never heard, for one thing. There is a character death, an obvious revelation, and a gimmicky “meeting” between Wyatt and Kurt Russell as Lee Shaw. Thankfully, it did get onto an upward trajectory.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In this compilation of originally Patreon-exclusive weekly coverage, Nate (and Jimmy From NASA) dives into the first four episodes of season two of AppleTV+'s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Nate argues it starts off strong and starts hitting some valleys relatively soon. He ends up a little disappointed that Titan X isn't quite like H.P. Lovecraft's Dagon as much as he wanted.

This week, Mikki breaks down one of the most common (and misunderstood) questions in fat loss and health: what should your body fat percentage actually be? Drawing on current research, she explains why body fat isn't just “dead weight” but an active endocrine organ that plays a critical role in metabolism, hormones, and overall health. Mikki unpacks the difference between subcutaneous and visceral fat, why where you store fat matters, and how risk increases at higher levels. She also explores the lack of a universal “ideal” number, highlighting how factors like age, sex, and ethnicity influence healthy ranges. Finally, she cuts through the noise on body composition measurements, from DEXA to BIA, and offers practical guidance on what to focus on instead of chasing a single number. Key Highlights: Why body fat is metabolically active and essential for health  The critical difference between subcutaneous and visceral fat  Evidence-based body fat ranges for men and women  Limitations of common measurement tools like BIA and DEXA  Why health is more than just a body fat percentage  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Hello Kaiju Lovers! Because Matt Walsh (no, not that Matt Walsh) is a crazy man who just happened to be on the Island to play Super Mario at a kids party, he jumped to the joke tier on our Patreon called “Jimmy's Intern” (again). This time, it's to discuss a 1979 movie directed by John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate, 1962) that has a pseudo-kaiju bear voiced by Megatron and played by the Predator and stars Rocky Balboa's girlfriend. (For SEO purposes, that's Frank Welker, Kevin Peter Hall, and Talia Shire). Jimmy has the day off for this one, which may or may not have been a good idea. Matt argues the movie is better than its reputation. Meanwhile, Nate adds three moments—including a cult status-worthy scene of “peak cinema”—to his “not on my bingo card” list. Also, John was drunk.

Prof Scott unpacks why muscle mass and function are critical for healthy ageing, and how this becomes increasingly complex in the context of obesity, weight loss, and modern treatment approaches.Mikki and Prof Scott explore the tension between improving metabolic health and preserving muscle, including what happens to lean mass during weight loss and why muscle quality matters as much as quantity. They also discuss practical strategies around resistance training and protein, and how these may need to shift across the lifespan.The discussion then turns to GLP-1 receptor agonists and their growing role in obesity management, examining what we know so far about their impact on muscle mass, strength, and long-term health outcomes.This is a broad, evidence-based conversation that brings muscle back to the centre of the metabolic health discussion, with clear takeaways for both clinicians and individuals.David Scott is a Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Monash University, with a research focus on musculoskeletal health, ageing, and body composition.His work centres on understanding and preventing age-related declines in muscle mass and function, including sarcopenia and frailty. He has a particular interest in how lifestyle factors such as nutrition, physical activity, and body weight influence muscle quality, strength, and overall functional capacity across the lifespan.Professor Scott's research also explores the intersection of obesity and muscle health, including the concept of sarcopenic obesity, as well as the effects of weight loss and emerging therapies on lean mass and physical function. His work contributes to the development of evidence-based strategies to support healthy ageing, maintain independence, and reduce the burden of chronic disease.Professor Dave Scott: https://www.monash.edu/medicine/scs/researchers/david-scott  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

This week, Mikki breaks down a major 2025 study using UK Biobank wearable data to challenge one of the most widely accepted rules in exercise science. For decades, we've been told that one minute of vigorous activity equals two minutes of moderate activity. But the data tells a very different story. Drawing from over 73,000 participants, this episode unpacks how vigorous movement may be four to ten times more effective depending on the health outcome. Mikki explains what actually counts as “vigorous” (it's more accessible than you think), the physiological mechanisms driving these benefits, and how small bursts of effort throughout your day can meaningfully impact long-term health. This is a practical, evidence-based rethink of how to approach movement for metabolic health, cardiovascular fitness, and longevity.Key Highlights: Why the long-standing 1:2 activity ratio doesn't hold up  What “vigorous” really means in real-world terms  How short bursts of effort impact cardiovascular and metabolic health  The surprising limits of light activity for disease risk reduction  Practical ways to incorporate high-value movement into daily life Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Nate, the secretly resentful host for Ultraman Nu, tries to get back into as normal a life as Monster Island will allow by visiting the Sekizawa Library to conduct research. There, he meets (and is smitten by) Jane, a lovely new librarian, who tells him a notorious T-rex is on display for the library's “Dinosaur Day.” Nate goes outside to see it, meeting M.A.K.O.'s leader, Captain Darke, just in time for the beast break out of its cage and go on a rampage.

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to returning guest Associate Professor José Areta to unpack one of the most debated topics in sports nutrition: energy availability, and what really happens when intake drops below demand.José takes a clear, physiology-first approach to explaining what energy availability actually means, why it has become such a dominant concept in exercise science, and whether the current narrative has become overly black-and-white. They explore his recent study examining the effects of a short, aggressive energy deficit, including what happens not just at a whole-body level, but deep within muscle tissue itself.In this conversation, they discuss the hormonal and metabolic responses to rapid weight loss, surprising findings around mitochondrial protein synthesis, and what changes in muscle and connective tissue might actually represent. José also reframes energy deficit as a biological stressor — one that may be adaptive in the right context — and challenges assumptions around how common and harmful low energy availability truly is.This is a nuanced, evidence-driven discussion that cuts through the noise and offers a more balanced perspective on energy deficit, performance, and long-term health.José L Areta currently works as an associate professor in Sports Nutrition and Metabolism at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at LJMU.José examines how nutrition interacts with exercise to shape both performance and health, with a focus on macronutrient timing and composition, the role of supplements in optimisation, and the hormonal and metabolic responses to energy restriction.José can be found at:https://profiles.ljmu.ac.uk/13460-jose-areta Paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41182317/Previous appearance https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/124  Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki unpacks one of the most common yet misunderstood issues in modern health: the interplay between cortisol, stress, poor sleep, and elevated heart rate. Using a real community question as the foundation, she explains why feeling “wired but tired” isn't a personal failing, but a physiological response to chronic, unresolved stress.Mikki walks through how cortisol actually works, why both exercise and life stress use the same biological pathways, and what happens when your system never fully downregulates. She also explores the role of the HPA axis, autonomic nervous system imbalance, and why tools like HRV and resting heart rate can offer insight—but also create more stress if misused.Most importantly, this episode delivers practical, evidence-based strategies to help restore balance and build resilience. Key Highlights: Why cortisol is not the villain—and what it actually does  The difference between acute stress and chronic, unresolved stress  What a high morning heart rate is really telling you  How lifestyle, hydration, and training load impact your stress response  Practical tools to downregulate your nervous system Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

This week on Mini Mikkipedia, Mikki breaks down one of the most misunderstood topics in fat loss: the difference between visceral fat and stubborn subcutaneous fat. While often lumped together, these two fat types behave very differently—and require completely different strategies.Mikki explains why visceral fat, despite being more harmful metabolically, is actually easier to lose and highly responsive to aerobic exercise—even without weight loss. She also unpacks why stubborn fat (think lower belly, hips, thighs) is slower to shift, driven by different receptor biology and requiring sustained consistency over time.This episode is especially relevant for women navigating perimenopause, where hormonal changes can shift fat distribution without changes on the scale. If you've been frustrated by lack of progress, this conversation will help you understand what's really going on—and what to do next. Highlights: Why visceral fat is dangerous—but easier to lose  The hormonal drivers of fat redistribution in perimenopause  Why aerobic exercise outperforms resistance training for visceral fat  The physiology behind “stubborn” fat and why it resists change  Practical strategies to target both fat types effectively Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Nate (technically) reaches the Heisei Era of "Godzilla Redux" with The Return of Godzilla (aka "Godzilla 1984"). He's joined by kaiju author Neil Riebe (who saw it in the theatre!) and the "unapologetic apologist" for the Heisei series, Andrew Wynja "The Ninja." They get into how this is the only true "Cold War" G-film and offers a uniquely Japanese perspective that was almost completely lost in Roger Corman's heavily re-edited Americanized version, Godzilla 1985. If history isn't your thing, they also discuss the amazing special effects by Teruyoshi Nakano, Kenpachiro Satsuma's first performance as Big G, and the incredible score by Reijiro Koroku, among other things.

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Dr Jocelyn Wittstein, orthopaedic surgeon and researcher, about the often overlooked intersection between nutrition, metabolism, and musculoskeletal health in women.With a background that uniquely bridges nutrition and medicine, Dr Wittstein brings a broader lens to joint, bone, and tendon health—moving beyond purely mechanical explanations to explore how lifestyle, dietary patterns, and metabolic health shape outcomes across the lifespan. In this conversation, they dive into why conditions like frozen shoulder disproportionately affect women in midlife, the role of oestrogen in tissue resilience, and how shifts during menopause influence muscle, bone density, and injury risk.They also unpack the impact of protein intake on musculoskeletal integrity, alongside the emerging links between insulin resistance, inflammation, and joint health. This is a practical and thought-provoking discussion that reframes menopause as not just a reproductive transition, but a critical window for protecting long-term strength, mobility, and resilience.Dr. Wittstein is a practicing orthopaedic surgeon, researcher, and associate professor at Duke University specialising in sports medicine and the female athlete across the lifespan. She's also a former collegiate gymnast and mother of five. Her research focuses on frozen shoulder, ACL injuries in female athletes, and the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause. As president of the Forum for Women in Sports Medicine, Dr. Wittstein is changing how we understand the intersection of hormones, movement, and independence in women's bodies.Jocelyn Ross Wittstein, MD (Duke Health)Jocelyn Wittstein, MD (Instagram) “The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan: Help Prevent and Treat Osteoporosis and Arthritis,” by Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein and Sydney Nitzkorski, MS, RD Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki breaks down a newly published narrative review examining whether menopause truly slows metabolism. While the common narrative suggests an inevitable metabolic decline, the reality is far more nuanced. Mikki walks through the evidence on resting metabolic rate, fat oxidation, physical activity, and sleep—highlighting where menopause may play a role and where age, muscle mass, and behaviour are more influential. She also unpacks a key overlooked factor: sleep disruption, and its downstream effects on fat oxidation and energy balance. Importantly, this episode challenges the idea that menopause overrides energy balance, instead reinforcing that foundational habits—muscle maintenance, movement, protein intake, and sleep—remain the primary drivers of metabolic health. A grounded, evidence-based take for women navigating midlife changes.Key Highlights: Why resting metabolic rate changes are inconsistent—and often linked to muscle mass, not menopause  The role of reduced fat oxidation and what it actually means for fat gain  How sleep disruption (and progesterone) may influence metabolism  Declines in physical activity: hormonal vs behavioural drivers  Practical strategies to maintain metabolic health through menopause Article https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41860241/ Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Dr Keogh unpacks the evidence around resistance training and cognitive outcomes, challenges common assumptions about exercise in older adults, and discusses whether we've been too conservative in how we prescribe strength training across the lifespan.They also dive into the practical side of programming—what actually works, what's often done poorly, and how to strike the balance between safety and meaningful stimulus, even in later decades. Along the way, they explore the psychological and behavioural shifts that occur when people regain strength, and why this may be one of the most powerful tools we have for supporting both physical and mental resilience as we age.This is a wide-ranging, evidence-informed discussion that reframes strength training not just as exercise, but as a cornerstone of lifelong health.Dr Justin Keogh is an exercise scientist and behavioural researcher with a strong focus on translating evidence into practical strategies that improve health, function, and performance. His work centres on the role of exercise—particularly resistance training—in mitigating treatment-related effects in cancer survivors, addressing sarcopenia in older adults, and enhancing athletic performance across a range of populations.His sports science research spans rugby union, powerlifting, sprinting, golf, and strongman, with more recent work extending into Australian rules football and swimming. He has also developed a growing research interest in female athletes, particularly in how strength and conditioning, alongside movement competency, can reduce the elevated risk of lower limb injury.Dr Keogh's research is especially relevant to ageing populations and those affected by cancer, where he investigates how combined exercise and nutritional interventions can improve body composition, physical function, quality of life, and potentially influence disease progression. Complementing this, he has spent the past decade exploring the behavioural drivers of health, examining the barriers, facilitators, and motivations that influence physical activity and other health behaviours in older adults and cancer survivors using both quantitative and qualitative approaches.He is a Fellow of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sport and the Australian Association of Gerontology. Dr Keogh also contributes to the field through service roles on Exercise and Sport Science Australia's Sports Science Advisory Group, the Australian Strength and Conditioning Association Conference Committee, and the Sarcopenia Diagnosis Task Force Committee for the Australian and New Zealand Society of Sarcopenia and Frailty Research.Justin bio https://research.bond.edu.au/en/persons/justin-keogh/Podcast Stronger Through the Ages https://open.spotify.com/show/69bzn3LApQ9ohOmx2Q26sN  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki breaks down why short eating windows and time-restricted eating (TRE) don't always deliver the fat loss results people expect—especially for active women. Drawing on key research, including the TREAT trial and Sutton's early time-restricted feeding study, she explains how compressing your eating window doesn't reliably reduce calorie intake and may even compromise body composition.Mikki also explores the interaction between exercise and appetite, highlighting how fasted training combined with delayed eating can amplify hunger signals and drive overeating later in the day. The takeaway? It's not a willpower issue—it's physiology.This episode offers a practical, evidence-based look at how to align nutrition with training, appetite, and real-life behaviour for better outcomes. Highlights: Why shorter eating windows don't guarantee lower calorie intake  The risk of increased lean mass loss with TRE  How fasted training + delayed eating drives compensatory hunger  The difference between metabolic benefits vs real-world behaviour  Practical strategies to align eating patterns with training and appetite Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

In this episode, we sit down with Mikki Walters to talk about something every person encounters—moments when someone is hurting and we want to help, but we aren't sure what to say or do.She gives us the reminder that Christlike compassion isn't about having the perfect words. It's about having a willing heart. Sometimes the most powerful ministry happens in quiet moments of obedience—standing with someone, praying with them, or simply being available for God to use.Together we talk about learning to move past the fear of saying the wrong thing and stepping into the compassion that reflects the heart of Jesus Christ. You don't have to be the most eloquent person in the room to be used by God. Compassion begins with simply being willing. When we step out in faith, God meets us there and works through even the simplest acts of love.
