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 - Why the Scale Misleads Women in Midlife

In 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’s a mix of physiology, reassurance, and practical strategy to help you stay the course without letting one number steal the win.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Why weight loss naturally slows after menopause
• How cortisol + vasopressin create confusing water weight
• What “slow but steady” fat loss really looks like
• The mindset shift that stops overwhelm and all-or-nothing thinking
• Anchor habits to keep you on track through messy weeks
