His clinical approach integrates cranial osteopathy, myofascial techniques, joint mobilisation and manipulation, tailored to the individual needs and preferences of each client.He has completed extensive postgraduate training in cranial, fascial, respiratory, and foot and ankle techniques, including advanced study at the Osteopathic Centre for Children in San Diego under Dr Viola Frymann, further training with Dr Robert Fulford in Oregon, and specialist foot and ankle training in California and Australia.In addition to his clinical work, Matt is an accredited Athletics NZ coach and has a strong interest in working with runners and athletes to support performance, recovery, and injury management. He has competed in events ranging from road races to marathons and ultra-marathons, including three Comrades Ultramarathons in South Africa.Matt practises in Auckland and lives in St Heliers with his wife Emma and their two children.

This week on Mini Mikkipedia, Mikki unpacks one of the most counter-intuitive truths in fat loss: eating better often means eating more food, not less. Many people equate weight loss with shrinking portions and constant restriction, yet this approach usually backfires. In this episode, Mikki explains the critical difference between food volume and energy density, and why swapping ultra-processed, calorie-dense foods for whole, nutrient-dense meals leads to greater satiety, quieter hunger, and more consistent fat loss.She explores how protein, fibre, and meal structure work together to reduce grazing, decision fatigue, and “food noise,” while supporting long-term weight maintenance. If fat loss has felt like white-knuckling through hunger, this episode reframes success as eating adequately, calmly, and sustainably—without relying on willpower or deprivation.Key Topics CoveredVolume vs energy density and why plate size can increase while calories dropThe role of protein and fibre in satiety and appetite regulationHow under-eating drives grazing, snacking, and food noiseWhy structured meals beat constant restraint for long-term fat loss 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
What does it take to keep going when you've already given everything you have? In this episode of Social Kick, we sit down with Andy Donaldson — ultramarathon swimmer, world-record holder, fastest man to swim around Manhattan Island, and the first male swimmer to complete the Ocean's Seven in a single calendar year. Andy shares the realities behind the swims most people only see in photos: long hours in dark water, brutal conditions, sickness, fear, and the moments where progress feels impossible. He opens up about a swim that nearly ended in defeat — before turning into one of the most meaningful experiences of his life, finishing just four minutes outside a world record on the rocks of Scotland. This conversation goes beyond times and results. It's about: Defining your “why” when things start to unravel Learning that you don't have to do it alone The shift from chasing personal achievement to creating purpose Using swimming as a platform to inspire others and elevate communities From swimming around Manhattan to a groundbreaking relay around Bahrain, Andy reflects on how his motivation has evolved — and why impact now matters more than records. Sometimes the finish time isn't the point. Sometimes the real win is what the journey reveals.
This week on the Tea & Trails Podcast, Eddie and Gary share the tips and tricks that keep them going when training and racing get tough.

I'm joined by Alex Hermanson (aka Herm) — content creator, community builder, and self-proclaimed “big dude who runs.”Herm has built a following of thousands of runners by keeping things real, relatable, and honest — proving that you don't need to be like a stereotypical runner to chase big goals.We talk about his journey from struggling to run a few miles… to finishing two 50-mile ultramarathons, including Antelope Canyon 50M and the legendary JFK 50 .This conversation goes way deeper than just training.We dive into mindset, identity, long-term progression, and why falling in love with the process matters more than chasing finish lines.In this episode, we talk about:Why ultra running doesn't need to be “hardcore” to be meaningfulHow Herm approaches massive long-term goals like Cocodona 250 without overwhelming himselfThe danger of rushing distances too fast — and how patience builds longevityWhy training wins often feel better than race dayHow to handle the mental lows during long ultrasThe simple question that can pull you out of dark moments mid-raceFueling lessons from 50-mile races (including loads of Mountain Dew)Why consistency beats intensity every timeAnd how remembering where you started changes everythingIf you've ever felt like you don't “fit the mold” of a runner…If you've struggled with pressure, comparison, or feeling behind…Or if you just want to build toward big goals without burning out — this episode is for you.

They have a wide-ranging conversation on coaching strong, not skinny, and the mindset challenges that they come up against with clients (and themselves) and how to overcome these. This is insightful for anyone who themselves is interested in how to integrate fat loss and building muscle in real life.Kelsey Johnston, known online as Kelsey J Fit, is a certified fitness coach, nutrition mentor, and strength training advocate dedicated to helping people build sustainable habits around strength, food, and lifestyle. She is a Certified Personal Trainer through NASM and has been coaching clients professionally since 2022, bringing over three years of experience in personalised programming and macro-based nutrition support. Kelsey's own journey into fitness began after pregnancy, when she gained 80 pounds and faced mobility challenges, persistent pain, and frustration with traditional cardio and restrictive dieting. Her transformation began with strength training and learning to fuel her body properly—shifting away from a cycle of dieting and scale obsession to a balanced approach that prioritises performance, wellbeing, and consistency. Through her coaching, Kelsey emphasises chasing strength, eating with intention, and embracing an 80/20 lifestyle that clients can sustain long-term. She is passionate about helping people feel strong, pain free, and confident in what their bodies can do, rather than simply how they look.Kelsey maintains an active presence on Instagram, where she builds community and offers practical insights into training, nutrition, and everyday strengthKelsey: https://www.kelseyjfit.com/aboutIG: https://www.instagram.com/kelseyjfit Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden
Anthony's running journey began back in 2007 while he was working in IT. Unhappy with his weight, he laced up for a change, and just two months later he was on the start line of his first 10K. By 2009 he'd run his first marathon, and by 2011 he was fully immersed in the world of ultrarunning.Years of racing and experimenting with his own fuelling strategies sparked a deeper interest in sports nutrition. Anthony went on to earn an Advanced Diploma in Nutrition and Weight Management, followed by a Nutrition Specialist Diploma. Combining his personal transformation with his growing expertise, he founded XMiles, a brand dedicated to helping endurance athletes fuel smarter and perform at their best.Thanks Harrier Trail Running for sponsoring this weeks interview.Thanks to Fenix Light UK, Voom & Altra 13 Valleys for supporting our January competitions.

We love supplements for their promise of better sleep, recovery, gut health, and performance—but what happens when they don't work the way they're supposed to? In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki unpacks why evidence-based supplements like magnesium, melatonin, probiotics, and creatine can have very different effects from person to person.You'll learn why magnesium threonate and glycinate can feel stimulating instead of calming, why melatonin's dose-response is often counterintuitive, how probiotics can miss the mark without strain specificity, and why creatine may worsen bloating, sleep, or luteal-phase symptoms for some women—especially in perimenopause.The key message: “evidence-based” does not mean universally effective. Individual physiology, hormones, stress, fuel availability, and life stage matter. This episode is about applying nutrition science in the real world—where context and self-monitoring trump supplement dogma.Key Topics & HighlightsWhy magnesium can improve sleep—or disrupt itMelatonin: when lower doses work better than higher onesThe problem with generic, shotgun probioticsCreatine, fluid retention, and sleep in perimenopauseHow to troubleshoot supplements instead of blindly persisting 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

We're already getting all emotional about coming up on our 1000th episode, and enjoying the fact that all the naysayers were wrong about us being a "showmance." Susie watched the Chevy Chase documentary, and was hoping to find out if he is in fact the a-hole he is often accused of being. Spoiler: he kind of is. We discuss some big news in psychology research, and it turns out maybe everything we thought we knew is wrong? (So what, who cares.) We found out about an ultramarathon that is simultaneously the opposite of our forthcoming (imaginary) flip-flop 5K and also in competition with it. It involves 31 miles and 9 Taco Bell locations.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Visit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandypod and you can take an additional 10% off your next purchase!Let Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster.

Most ultrarunners know this one skill matters matters.Very few actually know how to properly deploy it when life gets busy, motivation disappears, or training starts to feel heavy.In this Coaches Roundtable episode of the Everyday Ultra Podcast, I'm joined by Everyday Ultra coaches Liz Myers and Christie Brinker to break down what consistency actually looks like — and how to build it in the real world.We go far beyond “just show up” and get into the systems, mindset shifts, and practical strategies that allow ultrarunners to train consistently without burning out, getting injured, or sacrificing their entire life.In this episode, we cover:Why consistency is a learned skill, not a personality traitThe difference between blind consistency and smart consistencyHow to stay consistent when motivation is goneWhen skipping or adjusting a workout is actually the right moveHow to design your training around real-life stress, work, and familyThe most overlooked form of consistency: fueling, recovery, and strength trainingWhy “perfect” training is the enemy of long-term progressIf you're training for an ultramarathon and feel like consistency is the missing piece — or you've struggled to maintain momentum in long training blocks — this episode will change how you approach your training moving forward.SHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at desertpeakultra.comWant to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

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 Curtis Gillespie Sayers for a wide-ranging and grounded conversation on chronic illness, mitochondrial health, and what real healing actually requires.Curtis shares his own health journey — from being in and out of hospital from a young age with severe sleep apnoea, cardiometabolic risk, and long-standing physiological stress, to entering the health space through bodybuilding before realising that looking fit and being well are not the same thing.Together, they explore why many people remain stuck despite doing “all the right things,” and how healing often fails not because of a lack of effort, but because the body is still operating in a defensive state. They discuss the physiology that keeps the body stuck in survival rather than being able to heal. They also dive into peptides, what is and isn't appropriate and Curtis' recommendations for out of the box treatments. Curtis Gillespie Sayers is a health practitioner and systems thinker specialising in mitochondrial health, nervous system regulation, and recovery from chronic illness.After spending much of his early life in and out of hospital with significant respiratory and cardiometabolic complications — including severe sleep apnoea, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and pre-diabetic markers — Curtis entered the health space initially through bodybuilding. While improving his physique helped some symptoms, it also revealed a deeper truth: external fitness does not guarantee internal health.Driven by a desire to understand what was happening beneath the surface, Curtis shifted his focus toward the interaction between mitochondria, the nervous system, immune signalling, and environmental inputs such as light, sleep, and stress. His work now centres on helping people who feel “stuck” — those who have tried diets, supplements, and protocols without lasting improvement — by addressing the biological signals that determine whether the body can actually heal.Curtis takes a pragmatic, data-informed approach, viewing tools like nutrition, supplements, and peptide therapy as supportive levers rather than shortcuts, and emphasising the importance of safety, adequacy, and rhythm in long-term recovery.Curtis https://lifestylempowerment.ca/Curtis https://www.instagram.com/funct.med.curtis/ 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

Back in December 2025, Libby Clark stepped up to the start line of the Centurion Winter Downs 200, a 200‑mile Ultra Marathon. Only nine women stood on that start line. Nine! And Libby wasn't just there to take part… she was there to race!Seventy‑five hours, sixteen minutes, and twenty‑seven seconds later, she crossed that finish line to claim a joint second place finish with Jemma Lyons. Today, we get to dive into that journey, the highs, the lows, the hallucinations, the juggle, and the glory.

Can zinc genuinely improve sleep—or is it just another supplement riding good marketing? In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki unpacks what the research actually shows about zinc and sleep, with a specific lens on midlife women and endurance athletes. She walks through the proposed mechanisms—GABA-A receptor modulation, neurotransmitter balance, melatonin synthesis, and circadian rhythm regulation—before cutting to the critical point: zinc only appears to improve sleep when it corrects a deficiency. Drawing on a 2024 systematic review of randomised trials, Mikki explains why benefits show up in populations like older adults, shift workers, and clinical patients, but not in well-nourished athletes using ZMA. The episode also covers zinc deficiency risk factors, menopause-specific considerations, copper–zinc balance, testing strategies, and practical dosing guidance—so listeners can make evidence-based decisions rather than chasing “super sleep” promises.Key Topics CoveredHow zinc influences sleep physiology (GABA, melatonin, circadian genes)What human trials actually show about zinc supplementation and sleepWhy ZMA fails in well-nourished athletesZinc deficiency risk in athletes and midlife womenCopper–zinc ratio, testing, and safe supplementation guidelines 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

He also reveals this year's big rock — training for and running his first 100-mile race alongside his son, Trey, in Butte, Montana, and what it means to pursue hard things together as a family.Tune in as we kick off a new year of the podcast with reflection, clarity, and a challenge to choose your own big rock for the year ahead.Connect with The On Purpose PodcastWant more from The On Purpose Podcast?Listen to full episodes on TheOnPurposePodcast.com or anywhere you stream your favorite shows.Follow along on Instagram and Facebook for behind-the-scenes clips, guest highlights, and daily motivation.Connect with Jerrod HardyLinkedIn | InstagramDiscover Jerrod's insights on leadership, mindset, and purpose—and learn how to apply them in your own journey.Get the Book: Extraordinary People In Ordinary Places— Jerrod's guide to living and leading with purpose.

They discuss the difference between body awareness and body trust and how historical and cultural medical narratives shape the way women interpret symptoms.The conversation also challenges the idea that health must always be pursued at the level of optimisation, introducing the concept of being “healthy enough”—not as a lowering of standards, but as a way of letting health support life rather than dominate it.This episode will resonate with anyone who has felt exhausted by the constant focus on hormones, symptoms, and self-improvement, and is looking for a more grounded, humane way to think about women's health.Lara Briden is a naturopathic doctor and bestselling author of the books Period Repair Manual and Hormone Repair Manual — practical guides to treating period problems with nutrition, supplements, and bioidentical hormones. With a strong science background, Lara sits on several advisory boards and is the lead author of a 2020 paper published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. She has more than 20 years' experience in women's health and currently has consulting rooms in Christchurch, New Zealand, where she treats women with PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and many other hormone- and period-related health problems.Reach Lara at www.larabriden.com, IG: https://www.instagram.com/larabriden/Lara's books https://larabriden.com/lara-briden-books/Lara's previous appearance on Mikkipedia https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/33 and https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/248 and https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/264 Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden
Every so often, someone comes along who doesn't just take on a challenge, they redefine what's possible.”Today's guest is exactly that. Trish Patterson is a force of nature: a runner with grit in her bones, fire in her stride, and a story that climbs higher than the ridgelines she loves. Whether she's chasing FKTs, tackling brutal mountain routes, or simply showing what's possible when determination meets heart, Trish brings an energy that lifts everyone around her.In this episode, we dive into the mindset behind her biggest adventures, the moments that shaped her, and the resilience that keeps her pushing forward when the terrain gets rough and the doubts get loud. Trish doesn't just run, she inspires, she challenges, and she reminds us why we fall in love with the mountains in the first place.Thanks to Fenix Light UK for supporting our January competition.

In this first Mini-Mikkipedia of 2026, Mikki breaks down why fat gain—especially around the midsection—can occur even when you're “doing everything right” on paper. Tracking calories, training consistently, and eating well may still fall short if chronic stress is driving the hormonal environment. This episode unpacks the physiology behind stress-induced fat storage, with a particular focus on cortisol, visceral adiposity, and disrupted fuel partitioning. Mikki explains why stressed bodies are more likely to lose muscle, store abdominal fat, and struggle with fat oxidation—despite being in a calorie deficit. She also explores how under-eating, poor sleep, and excessive training compound the problem, creating a metabolic perfect storm. The key takeaway: stress management isn't optional. It's a foundational pillar of metabolic health, fat loss, and long-term body composition success.Key Topics CoveredHow chronic cortisol drives visceral fat storageFuel partitioning: why stressed bodies burn muscle, not fatWhy eating less and training more can backfire under stressThe role of sleep, recovery, and energy availability in fat lossPractical stress-management strategies that actually move the needle 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

In this episode of the Everyday Ultra Podcast, I sit down with one of the best examples of what it truly means to be an Everyday Ultra athlete — Evan Moody .Evan is a full-time professional, husband, father, and ultrarunner who has quietly built an incredible resume over the past few years — including finishing Grindstone 100 as his first 100 miler, racing Black Canyon 100K and Istria 110K, and most recently running a 21:30 100-mile PR at Javelina through near-perfect execution.But this conversation isn't just about results.We dig deep into:How Evan went from “someone who runs” to fully owning the identity of being an athleteWhy trusting the process is one of the hardest — and most important — skills in ultrarunningWhat it actually takes to execute a great 100-mile race (nutrition, pacing, aid station discipline, mindset)How friendly rivalry can become powerful motivationWhy accountability matters more than motivationLessons learned from injury, patience, and long-term consistencyHow to plan a meaningful race calendar instead of throwing darts at UltraSignupEvan's next big challenge: a Catskills 35-Peak FKT attempt and Cocodona 250This episode is a masterclass in execution, patience, and long-term development — and a reminder that you don't have to blow up your life to chase big ultrarunning goals.If you've ever struggled with doubt mid-training block, questioned your fitness, or wondered whether trusting the process is actually worth it — this episode is for you.SHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at desertpeakultra.comWant to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

Kyal unpacks his core philosophy that many of today's health challenges are predictable outcomes of the environments and lifestyles we now inhabit—and why targeted supplementation and protocols may be necessary to offset those exposures.They explore peptides as a bridge between naturopathic and conventional medicine, including when they are appropriate, how delivery routes change outcomes, and how to differentiate common compounds like BPC-157, GHK, KPV, and lorazotide. They discuss GLP-1 agonists—their risks, misconceptions, gut-motility paradoxes, and why “fixing the gut first” is non-negotiable, and much more.Kyal Van Der Leest is a qualified Nutritionist, Naturopath, and functional health strategist with a deep-rooted passion for human optimisation and evidence-based supplementation. He is the founder and formulator behind LVLUP Health, a science-driven wellness brand dedicated to developing advanced practitioner-grade supplements that support the body's innate healing systems. Kyal's journey into health innovation began in clinical and retail environments—including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and high-volume supplement settings—where he saw firsthand the limitations of conventional products and protocols. This sparked his mission to create targeted formulations that combine clinically relevant compounds, peptides, and high-quality actives to simplify and enhance health outcomes. Today his products are stocked globally and recognised for their efficacy within both practitioner and biohacking communities. Beyond formulation, Kyal is known for his commitment to practical, mechanism-based approaches to gut health, inflammation, recovery, and longevity.https://wholesale.lvluphealth.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 Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

As the year wraps up, this Mikkipedia episode invites you to pause—not to reinvent yourself, but to reassess what's no longer serving you. Rather than buying into “New Year, New You,” Mikki reframes this season as a strategic checkpoint. She explores what it might look like to let go of outdated training practices, rigid nutrition rules, chronic restriction, unexamined supplement habits, and an overreliance on data.The episode also tackles the less obvious clutter: self-limiting identity narratives, all-or-nothing thinking, guilt around rest, and the pervasive belief that perimenopause equals inevitable decline. Finally, Mikki turns to the modern challenge of our digital diet—fear-based health content, conflicting advice, and chronic doom-scrolling—and explains why curating your information intake matters as much as curating your training or nutrition.This is about creating space for strategies that fit where you are now—and letting the rest go.Key Topics CoveredWhen fasted training and fasting stop being strategicThe hidden cost of chronic restriction, junk miles, and overtrainingReleasing self-limiting identity stories and comparison to your past selfLetting go of guilt around rest, recovery, and changing capacityCurating your digital diet to reduce stress and decision paralysis 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

A former broadcaster turned software developer based in Dunedin, Brendan describes a lifelong struggle with weight, the shame and “try harder” messaging, and the moment he realised the issue wasn't a character flaw—it was the advice. After being pointed toward Professor Tim Noakes and a low-carb approach, Brendan ran a deliberate self-experiment: change the food first, track the results, and let hunger be the guide. The payoff wasn't just the scale—it was satiety, routine, confidence, and a practical framework for staying the course when life (and “eat normal”) pressure shows up.Highlights / topics coveredWhy “eat less, move more” failed him—and what shifted when the food changed firstThe early wins: scales, clothing fit, and appetite finally calming down“Success over compliance”: choosing what works over what's orthodoxBuilding guardrails: simple routines, fewer decisions, and sustainable structureNavigating social pressure, setbacks, and the long game of metabolic health Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden
While the holiday season represents a break from training for some, for others it's the perfect opportunity to start ramping up towards big goals in the year ahead. Regardless of where you find yourself, the end of one year and the beginning of the next marks a perfect time for all runners to take some time to plan for racing and training goals in the year ahead. And while plenty of athletes will be obsessing over their Strava year-end stats and setting even loftier targets for fast times and high mileage in the new year, many might be overlooking an area for improvement that's equally ripe for the taking: their nutrition. This week on The Shakeout Podcast, we're joined by Registered Dietitian Sandra Kilmartin of No Sweat Nutrition. Sandra's joint passions for running and nutrition come together in her work helping athletes of all abilities, from the track to Ultramarathons, fuel better, feel better, and get the most out of themselves through real-world nutrition solutions. Today, she joins the show to talk about steps runners can take to make sure they're giving their bodies the fuel they need to perform, how to avoid some of the common race day fuelling pitfalls, and what it looks like to create a nutrition plan that works with you to achieve all your running 2026 running goals.

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki breaks down a refreshingly sane approach to Christmas eating — one that ditches guilt, detoxes, and “earning your food,” and instead works with your physiology. Using a simple three-phase framework — Prime, Process, Restore — Mikki explains how small, practical behaviours before, during, and after Christmas Day can dramatically improve blood sugar control, digestion, energy, and overall metabolic resilience. From protein-anchored meals and strategic movement to post-meal walks and nervous system regulation, this episode is about supporting the machinery that handles abundance — not punishing yourself for it. No calorie counting, no biohacker gadgets, no January regret. Just evidence-based habits that help you enjoy Christmas as a celebration, not a metabolic crisis.HighlightsWhy Christmas food isn't “good” or “bad” — and why behaviour ≠ characterHow movement primes insulin sensitivity and glycogen storageThe power of protein anchoring to prevent dysregulated eatingWhy post-meal walks are non-negotiable metabolic goldHow stress and guilt impair digestion more than food ever could 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 Dr Lise Alschuler — a naturopathic oncologist, professor of clinical medicine, and one of the most respected voices in integrative cancer care worldwide. Dr Alschuler is known for bridging rigorous evidence with deeply human practice, helping people navigate not just cancer treatment, but the long arc of survivorship that follows. Her work spans circadian biology, metabolic health, botanical therapeutics, lifestyle medicine, and the psychology of living well after cancer.Their conversation travels through the evolving landscape of survivorship, delves into what high-quality follow-up care actually looks like, how to integrate whole-person philosophy within a conventional and often fragmented medical system, and what an ideal post-treatment care pathway would include. From insomnia to fatigue, melatonin to magnesium, morning light to meal timing, they unpack the practical tools that genuinely help restore circadian regulation — and why circadian disruption is far more consequential than most oncology guidelines acknowledge.They also explore exercise as a survival enhancer, how to guide intensity safely for those wary of over-exertion, and why maintaining muscle may be one of the most under-recognised cancer-prevention strategies. Adaptogens, botanicals, and supplement selection all feature, with clear insight into what works, for whom, and where caution is needed.They close with a deep dive into insulin resistance, nutrition strategies, carbohydrate restriction, soy, alcohol, processed food, vitamin D, and the broader metabolic terrain influencing recurrence risk.Dr. Alschuler is past-President and past-Board member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and a founding board member and Past-President of the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians. She has been an invited speaker to more than 350 scientific/medical conferences, published over 27 peer-reviewed articles, been an investigator on 8 research studies, written 9 chapters for medical textbooks, and has co-authored two books, Definitive Guide to Cancer, now in its 3rd edition, and Definitive Guide to Thriving After Cancer. The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) recognized Dr. Alschuler in 2014 as Physician of the Year. She also received an honorary degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and the Joseph Pizzorno Founders award from Bastyr University in the same year. She was honored with the AANP President's award in 2016 and received the Impact award from the National Association of Nutrition Professionals in 2017. In 2020, she received the Sheikh Zayed International Award in Naturopathy. She holds the rank of Professor at Sonoran University and also retains her rank as a Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of Arizona where she previously served as the Associate Director of the Fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine.For over 10 years, Dr. Alschuler has co-hosted a podcast, Five To Thrive Live! about living more healthfully in the face of cancer and chronic disease. She was the founding Executive Director of TAP Integrative, a nonprofit web-based educational resource for integrative practitioners. Previously, she was the VP of Quality and Education for Emerson Ecologics, a distributor of dietary supplements to healthcare professionals. Prior to that, she was department head of naturopathic medicine at Midwestern Regional Medical Center – Cancer Treatment Centers of America, a JCAHO-certified 95-bed regional medical center. She was also the clinic medical director and botanical medicine chair at Bastyr University. She was on the faculty of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in its early years, helping to establish its botanical medicine curriculum.Outside of her professional commitments, she enjoys early morning walks with her two dogs, relaxing outdoor evenings with her spouse, honing her golf game, and cultivating a deeper sense of purpose and authenticity.https://www.sonoran.edu/faculty/dr-lise-alschuler/https://www.drlise.net/work.html 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
Can you build healthspan in your 50s, 60s and beyond? In our episode 239 conversation, Jeff Weiss says yes—and he's got the miles to prove it. After his first 10K at 48, Jeff progressed to marathons, ultramarathons, and Ironman triathlons, discovering how structured training within smart guardrails, and the right mindset can unlock cardiovascular fitness, strength, confidence, and cognitive resilience in midlife. We explore practical ways to get started (and keep going), how to balance discomfort vs. danger, and why setting "big, hairy, audacious goals" fuels transformation far beyond sport. Jeffrey Weiss is an entrepreneur, former C-suite leader with a multi-billion-dollar exit, endurance athlete, and author of Racing Against Time: On Ironman, Ultramarathons, and the Quest for Transformation in Midlife. Starting with a first 10K at 48, Jeff progressed to marathons, ultras, and Ironman Arizona, discovering that well-designed guardrails, progressive overload, and recovery can unlock performance and vitality long after 50. He now shares science-informed, experience-tested frameworks that help midlife adults build cardiovascular fitness, strength, and confidence—without heroics or burnout. Jeff speaks and writes about the mindset that sustains big goals (BHAGs), how to distinguish discomfort from danger, and why consistent training ripples into career resilience, cognitive sharpness, and everyday joy. Timeline: 00:30 — Why healthspan (not just lifespan) matters Framing fitness as a primary lever for aging youthfully. 04:26 — Discomfort vs. danger Learning to distinguish healthy challenge from true risk as we age. 07:23 — Mindset & motivation that stick Races, structure, coaching, and the post-workout "well-being effect." 10:03 — Cardio, strength, and bone health in midlife Cross-training (run/cycle/swim + lifting) to support VO₂, muscle, and bone density. 15:09 — Confidence, cognition & BHAGs How audacious goals translate to business grit and everyday resilience. 25:37 — Guardrails for beginners 50–70+ Start simple, find what you enjoy, build gradually, and use "conversational pace." 33:55 — Injuries & prevention Early warning signs, backing off, and proactive physio to stay in the game. 35:05 — One big takeaway If you care about healthspan, make fitness a non-negotiable habit.

It's festive season, the pours get generous, and fat loss can suddenly feel… mysteriously harder. In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki breaks down why alcohol has more power than you think — not just because of calories, but because your body treats ethanol like a toxin and prioritises clearing it first. That means acetate becomes the preferred fuel, fat oxidation gets shoved to the back of the queue, and appetite, sleep, and next-day decision-making can all take a hit. Mikki also explains why midlife women often notice these effects more (sleep fragility, hormonal shifts, body composition changes), plus the real-world patterns that matter most: “most nights,” “weekend warrior,” and the classic “optimistic home pour.” You'll also get practical strategies to keep alcohol in your life without it quietly body-slamming your goals.Highlights / topics coveredWhat alcohol metabolism does to fat burning (acetate, ADH/ALDH, suppressed lipid oxidation)Why “two glasses” often isn't two standard drinks (and why the liver doesn't care)Sleep disruption → hunger, cravings, blood sugar swings, and reduced training qualityHow alcohol can blunt muscle protein synthesis after training — especially relevant in midlifePractical guardrails: weekly caps, timing, measuring pours, and choosing your “non-negotiable” drink 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
