Known for his pioneering work in coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring and computed tomography angiography (CCTA), Dr. Budoff has helped transform how we detect and assess heart disease risk.In this conversation, we explore what first sparked his interest in cardiovascular imaging and how his views on lipids, plaque, and heart disease risk have evolved over time. We dig into his recent research on lifestyle interventions—particularly low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets—and how they affect LDL cholesterol, atherosclerosis, and overall coronary health.We also discuss the implications of his KETO study, which found no direct correlation between elevated LDL-C and plaque burden in lean, metabolically healthy individuals following a ketogenic diet.Dr. Matthew J. Budoff is a distinguished cardiologist and professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He holds the Endowed Chair of Preventive Cardiology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and serves as the Program Director and Director of Cardiac CT in the Division of Cardiology Renowned for his pioneering work in non-invasive cardiovascular imaging, Dr. Budoff has significantly advanced the use of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring and computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to detect and monitor coronary artery disease. His research focuses on early detection methods for cardiac disease, aiming to identify high-risk patients and implement preventive strategies Dr. Budoff has authored or co-authored over 50 books and book chapters and more than 2,000 articles and abstracts. His contributions have been recognised with numerous awards, including the Gold Medal Award from the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography and designation as a Master of the Society Matt Budoff https://profiles.ucla.edu/matthew.budoffLMHR https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacadv.2024.101109  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 Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

Why You Shouldn't Trust the Dietary Guidelines – Nina Teicholz Reveals the Truth

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 Nina Teicholz, Ph.D.—science journalist, bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise, and Executive Director of The Nutrition Coalition.In this conversation, Nina sheds light on one of the most under-acknowledged crises in public health: the fragile scientific foundation of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines. In essence, nutrition science continues to shape national policy despite being built on weak, inconsistent, and sometimes fundamentally flawed evidence.They discuss a recent paper published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which found the systematic reviews used to support the guidelines to be of “critically low quality”. Nina breaks down why this matters, how key types of research have been excluded, and why the process lacks transparency and rigour. They explore how industry influence, institutional bias, and intellectual legacy all contribute to a status quo that continues to recommend reductions in red meat and saturated fat—despite the absence of robust evidence to support these claims.Nina also explains how these guidelines, which legally shape everything from school lunches to military rations, may be doing more harm than good when it comes to public health—particularly in the face of rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.If you've ever wondered why nutrition policy seems out of sync with both emerging science and common sense—or what it would take to fix it—this is an episode not to miss.Nina Teicholz Ph.D. is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise. She's been a pioneer in challenging the conventional wisdom on saturated fats, vegetable (seed) oils, the health halo around the Mediterranean diet, and the reliability of the U.S. national dietary guidelines. Her work has been favorably reviewed by top medical journals, including the Lancet, and her own writing has been published in academic journals such as the BMJ, Nutrients and a journal of the National Academy of Sciences as well as media outlets such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic and Economist. Teicholz has also appeared on most major TV networks and many podcasts, from NPR to Joe Rogan. She is a graduate of Stanford and Oxford Universities, and in 2024, she received a Ph.D. in nutrition focused on evidence-based nutrition policy. For years, she ran a non-profit called the Nutrition Coalition aimed at updating the US dietary guidelines with the current science. Her work can now be found in a column on Substack called “Unsettled Science.”Teicholz has no commercial ties and has never received support from any industry for her work.

Dr Reynolds, whose background is in lung development and disease, has been investigating how e-cigarettes influence inflammatory pathways, glycation, and long-term health risks.In this conversation, they discuss why breathing is more than just taking in oxygen and how air quality plays a critical role in overall health. Dr Reynolds explains glycation—how it damages the body—and how inflammation, often seen as a necessary defence mechanism, can sometimes do more harm than good.Mikki and Dr Reynolds delve into the chemicals found in e-cigarettes, comparing their inflammatory effects to traditional cigarettes. They explore whether vaping genuinely helps smokers quit or if it fosters new dependencies, as well as the risks of secondhand exposure and how vaping should be approached from a public health perspective.Dr Reynolds shares findings from his research on vaping during pregnancy, including its effects on foetal and placental weight, and the potential implications for conditions like intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia. They also discuss how e-cigarette flavours—such as Red Hot and Green Apple—can influence cancer cell invasion and inflammation, raising questions about whether some flavouring compounds should be restricted.With vaping still largely unregulated in many areas, Dr Reynolds offers insights into where research should focus next, what policymakers need to consider, and whether vaping should be treated with the same caution as smoking.This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the science behind vaping and its potential long-term health consequences. Enjoy the conversation!Dr Paul Reynolds is a professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology at Brigham Young University, with a research focus on lung development, pulmonary disease, and the effects of environmental exposures such as tobacco and vaping aerosols on respiratory health. He holds a PhD in Developmental and Molecular Biology from the University of Cincinnati and has conducted extensive research on pulmonary injury, oxidative stress, and inflammatory pathways. His work examines how vaping impacts lung function, foetal development, and cancer progression, with recent studies exploring the role of e-cigarette flavours and nicotine in inflammation and disease risk. Dr Reynolds has received multiple awards for his research and teaching, including the Parker B.

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. James Dorling, a researcher whose work challenges many of the traditional assumptions around energy expenditure, weight loss, and personalised nutrition.Dr. Dorling's research spans multiple large-scale studies, including the E-MECHANIC trial, which revealed that traditional metabolic equations often overestimate energy burn—particularly in certain populations. His work also highlights differences in how men and women, and people of different ethnicities, respond to exercise in terms of energy expenditure, raising important questions about the accuracy of fitness trackers and calorie calculations.In this conversation, Mikki and James explore why some people seem to hit a weight-loss plateau despite regular exercise, how compensatory mechanisms might be working against fat loss goals, and what practical strategies can help break through these barriers. They also dive into findings from the CALERIE™ study, where unexpected predictors of weight loss—like sexual satisfaction—emerged, and discuss the potential for machine learning to improve personalised weight-loss strategies.Beyond metabolism, they tackle the hype around DNA-based nutrition plans and the reality of individual variability in weight loss outcomes.Dr. James Dorling is a lecturer in Human Nutrition at the University of Glasgow, with a research focus on the impact of nutrition and physical activity interventions on obesity, metabolic health, and aging biomarkers. His work explores appetite regulation, eating behaviours, and how these factors change in response to lifestyle interventions.Dr. Dorling completed his undergraduate degree in Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Bath before earning his PhD from Loughborough University, where he investigated the effects of acute exercise and obesity-related genetic factors on appetite and appetite-related hormones. He then continued his research as a postdoctoral fellow at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, studying the influence of calorie restriction and exercise on weight regulation, aging, and metabolic adaptations.Dr. Dorling's work has been featured in leading scientific publications and podcasts, where he discusses the intersection of metabolism, exercise, and behaviour change. His research challenges conventional wisdom around weight loss and aims to refine personalised strategies for improving health outcomes.For more on his work, visit his profile at the University of Glasgow: https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/medicine/staff/jamesdorling/  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 Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

Confessions of a Higher Ed Social Media Manager
Ep. 33: Turning Social Media into Your Top Recruitment Tool

Confessions of a Higher Ed Social Media Manager

Host Jenny sits down with Mikki Collins, a former higher ed social media manager at the University of Chichester, who shares her transformative journey in leveraging social media as a key recruitment tool. From developing student influencer programs to driving engagement on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, Mikki provides actionable insights into creating authentic connections and making the most of limited resources. Listen in as they discuss how higher ed social media professionals can shift their mindset from communications to strategic marketing.Key TakeawaysStudent Influencers are Gold: Current students and graduates are often the most effective voices for reaching prospective students.Adapt to Platform Dynamics: TikTok has evolved from a discovery platform to a search engine—use it strategically at different stages of the recruitment funnel.Targeted Content Wins: Tailor content to different stages of the recruitment funnel, from generating awareness to nurturing conversions.Leverage Social Listening: Search university nicknames and hashtags to uncover organic student-created content and trends.Metrics with Intent: Align success metrics (e.g., reach, engagement) with the goals for each recruitment funnel stage.Sustainable Social Media Practices: To avoid burnout, delete work-related social media apps during breaks and maintain healthy work-life boundaries.How Mikki Got Started in Higher Ed Social Media Mikki Collins began her career in higher education through a unique route, starting as a Student Union officer and later transitioning to a digital content role. She quickly gravitated toward social media as a tool to engage students, working with limited resources to grow the University of Chichester's online presence. Mikki's small team transformed from social media novices into UK leaders in higher ed social media by experimenting with tactics that resonated with their target audiences.Using Students as Influencers Mikki was an early adopter of the "students as influencers" concept. Realizing that prospective students wanted to hear from their peers, she used Instagram's Q&A feature and hashtags to discover students who were already creating authentic, high-engagement content about the university. This strategy uncovered micro and macro influencers—like one student with 300,000 followers—who were eager to collaborate. By partnering with these students, Mikki's team amplified the university's reach and authenticity, fostering trust among prospective students.TikTok as a Recruitment Tool TikTok played a pivotal role in Mikki's strategy. Starting the university's account in 2019, her team grew it from an underutilized platform to the most-followed account within a year. By creating playful, tongue-in-cheek content, they broke through the noise and raised awareness of the university—even in its local community.Mikki shared how TikTok evolved from a discovery platform to a search engine. Early in the recruitment cycle, her team worked with student influencers who had large followings to generate awareness. As TikTok shifted to a search-first platform, they partnered with students who had smaller audiences to create content that addressed specific prospective student concerns, such as accommodations and campus life.Building a Social Media Funnel One of the episode's standout moments was Mikki's explanation of the recruitment funnel and how social media fits into it. She described creating content tailored to each stage:Awareness Stage: Share general information about the university, location, and events to attract prospective students. Success metrics here include reach and impressions.Conversion Stage: Focus on personalized content, such as Q&A sessions and campus tours, to address specific concerns and keep prospective students engaged. Metrics for this stage include comments, direct messages, and content shares.Mikki also emphasized the importance of social listening—using hashtags and search terms like university nicknames—to understand what content students are already creating and searching for. By consistently revisiting these insights each year, institutions can adapt their strategies to evolving student needs.Sustaining Work-Life Balance as a Social Media Manager Mikki ended the conversation with an important confession: she deleted LinkedIn from her phone over the holidays and hasn't reinstalled it since. As a social media professional, she understands the risks of burnout and advocates for intentional breaks from work-related platforms. Her advice: don't be afraid to temporarily delete social apps or establish boundaries to maintain a healthy balance.Guest Name: Mikki Collins, Content and Experience Designer, Pickle Jar CommunicationsGuest Social: LinkedInGuest Bio: Mikki Collins is the Content and Experience Designer at Pickle Jar Communications and has a strong social media background in the Higher Education sector and proven award-winning experience for digital content campaigns and projects she has produced.She previously worked for the University of Chichester as their Digital Content Producer for 5.5 years.

As women, we often make parenting seem effortless, but it's not, not at all. There are things in our lives that we want to change and improve, maybe your co-parenting or how you show up as a mom. Perhaps you want to hit certain goals in your income, in your life, or in your health. I help people just like you implement change and growth in your life.Where do I begin? How do I start creating change?We hear more and more about the way we believe, how we think, and our mindset. It already often feels challenging to begin implementing change, and there becomes the question of what's the best way to approach it. There are many ways to approach implementing change, and you have to find the best option for you.Four Important Aspects of Implementing ChangeMindsetThe way we think about our lives creates our experiences. If we believe that we are not capable of doing a great job of raising our kids on our own, we will struggle more because we have that belief. The way we think about our life matters. We all have experiences. Our brain turns these experiences into thoughts that seem to be absolute beliefs that become mindsets. It just happens. Mindset is just one of the ways you can implement change. Making shifts in how we think, not in a rose-colored glasses way, but in ways that truly serve you and help you experience more ease in your life.Awareness and attending to emotional needsBeing aware of your emotion set or the go-to emotions that you often experience. Understanding our go-to emotions sometimes allows a starting point for implementing change and cultivating a new emotion set that will feel and serve you better.Being Aware of Your Nervous System ResponsesOur nervous system can have some pretty big responses at times. It's important to be aware of what your nervous system activation looks like. You may have some triggering experiences, and you immediately feel heightened when something happens. There is emotion there, but it is more of a triggered response where things in your body feel somewhat out of your control or very automatic. Being aware of these moments will give us a better opportunity to work towards processing these emotions.Mikki GardnerMikki is a certified life coach who helps women become loving, strong, effective co-parents and create a life full of resilience, abundance and joy after divorce.Mikki's WebsiteListen to the Original Episode HereAccess full show notes and all links
