MikkipediaChristmas Food Without the Crash: Prime, Process, RestoreIn 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 evidenc...
2025-12-2121 minMikkipediaMini Mikkipedia - Alcohol and Fat Loss: It’s Not Just CaloriesIt’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-w...
2025-12-1424 minMikkipediaMini Mikkipedia - Eating Out on Maintenance Without Losing Your MindIn this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki digs into one of the trickiest parts of life after fat loss: eating out while you’re in maintenance. It’s a phase so many people skip entirely—swinging between strict dieting and full-tilt abandon—but learning to live in the middle is where long-term results are actually built. Mikki breaks down how to approach restaurant meals without panic, how to categorise your choices (green, amber, red), and why pre-planning beats starving yourself all day. From menu overwhelm to invisible fats, alcohol boundaries, shared plates, and how to calm the mental chatter afterwards, this epis...
2025-11-3018 minMikkipediaMini Mikkipedia - Why the Scale Misleads Women in MidlifeIn this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki unpacks why fat loss in midlife never feels as straightforward as it used to — even when your strength is climbing, your shape is changing, and you know you’re doing everything right. She breaks down the hormonal shifts after menopause that make the scale far more chaotic, from cortisol-driven water swings to vasopressin turning you into a temporary camel. Mikki also explores the mindset piece: why new habits feel heavy at the start, why slow progress is still genuine progress, and how to build anchor behaviours that keep you steady when life isn’t. It’...

She explains why the drop in oestrogen accelerates bone breakdown, why osteopenia is far from “nothing to worry about,” and how fractures become a major driver of loss of independence and early mortality.Mikki walks through the non-negotiables for stronger bones: the right kind of exercise (hint: walking alone won’t cut it), why sleep is a critical bone-building tool, and how protein, calcium, vitamin D, K2, mag...
2025-11-1635 minMikkipediaMini Mikkipedia - Fat Loss in the Festive SeasonThe festive season doesn’t have to derail your hard-won progress. In this Mini Micropedia, Mikki unpacks why holiday weight gain (often ~0.45–1.0 kg) tends to stick around and which habits most often tip us off track—overcommitting, grazing instead of meals, early “holiday mode,” and a bit too much booze. She lays out a practical plan: prioritise sleep, ring-fence training (and rack up NEAT—aim ~8,000+ steps), keep protein front and centre, and use calorie cycling with planned indulgences (hello, PSMF structure) to enjoy social events without spiralling. You’ll learn simple boundary-setting scripts, environment hacks to reduce temptation, and mindset shifts...
2025-11-0234 minMikkipediaMini Mikkipedia - Supplements: Check the Label, Not the HypeA lot of “natural” stress aids aren’t harmless—because they actually work. In this Mini Mikipedia, Mikki breaks down how popular adaptogens and nutrients interact with your HPA axis (the body’s stress-response command centre) and when that’s a blessing versus a blind spot. You’ll learn what the evidence says for ashwagandha, rhodiola, holy basil, phosphatidylserine, and why liquorice root is uniquely risky. Mikki covers dose ranges used in studies, who should be cautious (thyroid issues, pregnancy/breastfeeding, low cortisol, meds), how to test cortisol properly, and why cycling supplements beats “more is better.” She also revisits the basic...
2025-10-2626 minMikkipediaMini Mikkipedia- Calorie Cycling: Smarter Deficits Without MiseryCalorie cycling isn’t a trick—it’s stress management for your metabolism. In this Mini Micropedia, Mikki explains how sustained restriction can drive adaptive thermogenesis: leptin falls, ghrelin rises, thyroid output dips, NEAT declines, and fat loss stalls. Then she lays out practical cycling options—from simple weekday–weekend shifts to planned carb refeeds, diet breaks, and PSMF days—so you can periodise your intake around training and real life without blowing your deficit. You’ll learn who benefits (and who shouldn’t use it), why protein (≥1.6–2.2 g/kg) and resistance training are non-negotiables, and how to set your weekly calorie...

Is it a genuine breakthrough or just another overhyped supplement? Mikki unpacks the research behind this postbiotic compound, how it supports mitophagy (the clean-up and renewal of mitochondria), and what human studies really show about its impact on strength, endurance, and inflammation. She explores its potential for midlife health, particularly during perimenopause, and weighs it against the proven benefits of exercise, fasting, and a nutrient-dense diet. Expect an evidence-based take on whether it’s w...

She explains just how quickly muscle mass can decline with bed rest or critical illness, why standard hospital meals fall short nutritionally, and how inadequate protein and energy intake accelerate muscle loss. Mikki outlines practical strategies—from protein targets and essential amino acids to simple activity or electrical stimulation—to help mitigate muscle wasting.

While glycemic index tables are widely used, they don’t always translate into real-world eating, since lab conditions rarely reflect how we actually consume food. Mikki shares insights from her own postgraduate lab days, explains why portion size and food combinations change the picture, and highlights how individual responses can vary dramatically. With research from studies like PREDICT and practical strategies for self-testing, she makes the case that personal glycemic response — not the number on a labe...

Mikki unpacks what the sugar diet actually is, the science behind its surprising short-term results, and why its mechanism might have less to do with sugar itself and more to do with protein restriction and its effects on FGF21.

Spoiler: the science doesn’t support that claim. Mikki dives into the observational study at the centre of the controversy, teasing apart key limitations—like reverse causality, confounding behaviours, and reliance on a single food frequency questionnaire over 14 years. She explains why the idea that diet drinks are as harmful as sugary ones is not only misleading but potentially dangerous for public health messaging.

Mikki explains why these outdated markers fall short and offers evidence-based alternatives that better reflect health: body fat percentage, appendicular lean mass index (ALMI), and waist-to-height ratio.
