Mikki dives into the complex and controversial topic of sucralose—one of the most common non-nutritive sweeteners—and whether it interferes with hunger and satiety signalling in the brain. Prompted by a new study published in Nature, Mikki explores how sucralose might increase activity in brain regions associated with hunger and reward, particularly in women and individuals with obesity or insulin resistance. She unpacks the mechanisms at play, discusses the relevance of acute vs long-term data, and weighs these findings against the broader scientific literature on artificial sweeteners. If you've ever wondered whether your sweet tooth could be tricking your brain, this episode is for you.Highlights:New brain imaging study shows sucralose increases hypothalamic activity linked to hungerDifferences in appetite response between individuals with healthy weight vs. obesityPotential long-term impacts of sucralose on gut health and insulin sensitivityWhy context, diet quality, and individual response matter more than blanket rulesHow to decide if sucralose supports or hinders your own health goalshttps://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-025-01227-8https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7817779/#s4https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39015535/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7155288/ Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 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

While fat loss gets all the glory, maintenance can feel like a grind—no more scale victories, compliments, or clear finish lines.

She unpacks six key reasons maintenance feels harder than dieting and offers practical strategies to shift your mindset, build resilience, and find satisfaction in staying the course. This is a must-listen for anyone who's reached their goal and now wonders, “What's next?”Episode Highlights:Why the absence of visible results makes maintenance feel harder than fat lossSeth Godin's The Dip and how it relates to body composition goalsSix psychological and physiological challenges during the maintenance phaseHow to set new goals and metrics to stay motivatedPractical tips to maintain progress without burnout or rigidity Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 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

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 Brandon DaCruz, an online nutrition and physique coach, educator, and science communicator, for a deep dive into one of the most debated models in metabolism research: the constrained energy model proposed by Dr. Herman Pontzer.Together, they unpack the nuances of Pontzer's hypothesis, challenge some of the prevailing interpretations, and explore how it compares to the traditional additive model of metabolism — where exercise is believed to directly increase total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). Brandon offers his take on how constrained energy expenditure has been misrepresented to suggest that exercise is ineffective for weight loss, and he brings both data and coaching insights to the conversation.They also explore the concept of metabolic adaptation, sustainable metabolic scope, and what the research really says about the relationship between physical activity and body composition over time. This conversation is essential listening for anyone navigating the complexities of energy balance, fat loss, and exercise science.Brandon DaCruz at his website https://www.brandondacruzfit.com/, and on Instagram @brandondacruz_Chasing Clarity https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lyle-mcdonald-challenging-the-constrained-energy/id1619611966?i=1000709417044Brandon DaCruz is an online nutrition and physique coach and sports nutritionist. He's also a National Level NPC physique competitor and an internationally published fitness model who's written articles and filmed educational content for publications like Men's Fitness Magazine and Bodybuilding.com. Brandon has spent over 12 years  working within the sports nutrition and fitness industries and has coached every type of client including Olympia Level professional men's physique competitors, college athletes, MMA fighters, CrossFit competitors, and lifestyle clients. He believes in blending what's been proven in the research with his own anecdotal and first hand "in the trenches'' experience to improve body composition, optimise performance and enhance health in order to help his clients achieve their goals whether that be building muscle, losing body fat, increasing performance and/or optimising health and longevity. This is what he refers to as his health-centric coaching model as he believes that improving one's health is the cornerstone to optimising their physical goals. https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/270https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/226 https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/300 Relevant podcastshttps://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/284/transcripthttps://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/138https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/51  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

During my ultra marathon challenge, one song that kept me going. As I ran, walked and wept from London to Salford, Stargazing by Myles Smith was on repeat. Even when I hit breaking point, that song carried me through and ever since, I've been desperate to sit down with Myles. With his calendar booked until 2027, I feel incredibly lucky we finally made it happen…Myles Smith is an incredible musician and songwriter. In just two years, he's gone from posting songs on TikTok to racking up 25 million streams in a single month, touring with Ed Sheeran and winning the Rising Star BRIT Award. His breakout single, Stargazing, has been streamed over a billion times and was the best-selling British song of 2024.But what struck me most about Myles isn't just his talent, it's his honesty. He's experienced pain, heartbreak and at times, has really struggled to fit in. Yet, he's overcome those challenges to become a musician whose music brings positivity and hope to everyone who hears it. We cover:•⁠ ⁠His first heartbreak aged 11, when his dad walked out•⁠ ⁠The racism he's experienced as an artist for the music he releases•⁠ ⁠How Ed Sheeran gave him the confidence to release his most personal musicThis conversation is a reminder that vulnerability is a strength and that by embracing who we truly are, we create space for others to do the same.You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk--THE CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerEditor: Dan KingVideo: Jake Ji & Ryley KirbySocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

In this Mini Mikkipedia Monday, I'm diving into the concept of cognitive restraint — the intentional, often skill-based ability to say “no thanks” to food when it doesn't align with your goals. This isn't about deprivation or dieting harder, but about building an empowering skill that helps you align your actions with your intentions. I share how cognitive restraint is developed over time (it's not just something you're born with), reflect on my own experience with overeating, and offer a practical roadmap of mindset shifts and tools to make restraint feel easier and more automatic. Whether you're on a fat loss journey or just trying to regain control over your eating habits, this episode offers strategies you can start using today.Highlights:Why cognitive restraint is a skill, not willpowerThe reframe that changes “restriction” into “empowerment”Practical strategies to build restraint (meal planning, mindfulness, visualisation)How your environment and daily habits impact your ability to follow throughThe power of identity and self-talk in long-term dietary success Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 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

Take a run with The Human Potential Running Series podcast. For Episode 66, HPRS Race Director John Lacroix discusses change and transitions. Change can be terrifying to the point that some people avoid it. It can also be necessary to grow. Transition is a word that can better describe change in a positive light. In this episode, John discusses aspects of the ultrarunning community that need to change for the sport to evolve. John also discusses how these aspects have affected his desire to self-identify as an ultrarunner, and how it ultimately leads to a period of transition at HPRS that will occur over the next 2-4 years. This is a heavy, incredibly personal episode, recounting challenging situations that have led to decisions that will affect the HPRS community for years to come.

Known for his evidence-based insights into heart rate variability and training readiness, Marco has recently turned the lens inward, experimenting with how varying his fuelling strategies around training intensity and adaptation goals can impact performance and recovery.In this conversation, we dive into what led Marco to shift from a rigid, data-driven approach to one that embraces flexibility, intuition, and physiological feedback. We talk about the science behind carb periodisation, the mindset shifts required to break free from ‘high carb by default,' and how this approach might offer not just better results—but a more sustainable relationship with training. Whether you're a high-performing athlete or a time-poor weekend warrior, Marco shares insights that might just change the way you think about fuelling.Marco holds a PhD in applied machine learning, a M.Sc.  in computer science engineering, and a M.Sc. n human movement sciences and high-performance coaching.He has published more than 50 papers and patents at the intersection between physiology, health, technology, and human performance. Marco blends cutting-edge data analytics with practical insights for athletes and coaches. His work has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and he's a frequent voice in the endurance and sports science communities.Through his own training and experimentation, Marco explores the integration of physiological data—like HRV, resting heart rate, and glucose monitoring—with periodised nutrition and recovery strategies. His mission is to help others train smarter, recover better, and build a more sustainable, intuitive relationship with performance.https://marcoaltini.substack.com/https://www.hrv4training.com/Previous Episode: https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/242 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

In this episode of Mikkipedia, Mikki explores a commonly overlooked health marker—C-Reactive Protein (CRP). While traditional lab ranges often label values under 5 mg/L as "normal," Mikki explains why even mild elevations (around 3–4 mg/L) can signal underlying low-grade inflammation. She breaks down what CRP actually reflects, the various root causes (from gut issues and food sensitivities to overtraining and hormonal shifts), and what practical steps you can take to investigate and lower it. If your blood work seems “fine” but you're not feeling your best, this episode is for you.Tune in to learn:What CRP is and why “normal” might not be optimalCommon hidden triggers of low-grade inflammationHow to track and troubleshoot symptoms across lifestyle, diet, and hormonesThe role of food sensitivities, histamine, overtraining, and gut healthStrategic testing, supplements, and self-experimentation tips Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 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

Bob Becker didn't grow up an athlete. He ran his first marathon in his 50s.Now, at 80, he's outlasting runners half his age—competing in 100+ mile ultramarathons across deserts, through mountain passes, and deep into the unknown.But this isn't just a story about extreme endurance. It's a meditation on purpose, perseverance, and the ripple effects we create when we keep showing up.In one unforgettable story, Bob recalls finishing a brutal desert race just past the official cutoff—only to be handed a note from a stranger who had been watching. It read: “I've been looking for a reason to stay alive. If you made it to the finish line, I promised God I'd live 100 more days.”Moments like that don't happen by accident. They happen when people live with grit, intention, and heart.In this episode, you'll learn:Why Bob believes the second half of life can be the most powerfulHow he started running at 57—and why starting late might be an advantageThe mindset that gets him through the most painful, isolating milesHow to find meaning in the journey, even when you don't “win”Why your effort matters, even when no one seems to noticeHow to balance drive with community, service, and familyWhat aging athletes can do to keep moving forward with strength and joyThis is one of the most powerful conversations we've had on Ageless Athlete—a reminder that what looks like the end might just be the beginning.

“Volunteering is a great way to get to know people, it's a great way to get inspired. So, I would recommend it to anybody who wants to go to a race but they're nervous because they don't know people. Volunteering you know people instantly. You know them very very well.” In this episode, Luis chats with Mara Klassen, Emily O'Rourke, Barb Sims, Jennifer Gray, Brenda Luce, Roland Hyatt, Joanie Andersen, Tom Taylor, and Bryan Gray about volunteering at race events. They explain why they like to volunteer, their observations out there on the course, how they help the runners, bonds and friendships that form, and what they have coming up next.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Tate Dobson, known on trail as Pyro. Tate is a certified wildcard. It's not just that he's hiked the PCT, AT, Long Trail, and Te Araroa, but how he's done it, including hiking the Appalachian Trail and Long Trail spending $1,000 (alongside Quadzilla), hiking long stretches with carrying a Jansport pack, another stretch using tote bag, hiking the R2R2R eating only Motts Fruit snacks and the 100-Mile Wilderness consuming only maple syrup and a jar of peanut butter. He's run a pair of ultramarathons around a roundabout, he's run a beer mile with his mom, and has accomplished another mile consuming four shots of tequila and a tube of toothpaste. In other words, strap in.  We wrap the show with some bucket list hikes you can do over a long weekend, the triple crown of stuipd word spellings, a listener poop story, and more.
