Mikkipedia is an exploration in all things health, well being, fitness, food and nutrition. I sit down with scientists, doctors, professors, practitioners and people who have a wealth of experience and have a conversation that takes a deep dive into their area of expertise. I love translating science into a language that people understand, so while some of the conversations will be pretty in-depth, you will come away with some practical tips that can be instigated into your everyday life. I hope you enjoy the show!

Mini Mikkipedia - Tackling Digestive Ups and Downs on a Protein-Sparing Fast

Miki dives into the often-avoided topic of digestion during protein-sparing modified fasts (PSMF). If you’ve ever wondered why your gut behaves differently on these lean-protein days, this one’s for you. Miki explains what’s happening physiologically—from changes in bile flow and microbiota to electrolyte shifts—and how these can lead to constipation or, less commonly, diarrhea. She walks through practical, evidence-based strategies to get your digestion back on track, including hydration, magnesium types, vitamin C dosing, bitters, and soothing supports like slippery elm. Learn how to troubleshoot gut symptoms so your PSMF days feel as good as they look on paper.

Highlights:

Why constipation is common on low-fat, low-fibre, high-protein days
How bile flow, hydration, and electrolytes affect gut motility
Magnesium, vitamin C, and bitters as tools for smoother digestion
Gentle fixes for diarrhea and when to adjust supplements
The transitional nature of gut changes during PSMF
