They discuss how Andreas got interested in nutrition as a medical doctor, and his own journey through low carb and ketogenic diets, setting up Diet Doctor and transitioning to a more protein-centric approach. With input from his colleagues such as Ted Neiman he has designed an approach to eating that aims to fight back at the many forces at play that increase our desire to overeat.Hava App https://www.hava.co/Dr Andreas Eenfeldt https://x.com/DrEenfeldt Hava podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/0XC1l67dz1NQbAn2skRf4F Dr Andreas Eenfeldt is a Swedish medical doctor specialised in family medicine.

The episode discusses the misleading and inaccurate reporting of a study on the association between low carbohydrate diets and the risk of type 2 diabetes. The study was misrepresented in a press release by Monash University, leading to sensationalist headlines in the media. The paper itself had several flaws, including the misclassification of diets as low carb when they were actually high carb, and the failure to account for other health parameters that could influence the risk of type 2 diabetes. The conversation highlights the importance of critically evaluating nutrition news and the need for accurate reporting.

They discuss the increase in cancer cases worldwide and what might be at the heart of the increasing prevalence. They talk about how exercise can help reduce risk of cancer, but also how it can help an individual throughout their treatment and what the research tells us about its importance. They also discuss sedentary behaviour, what it means to be sedentary and why this increases the risk of cancer in the general population. And much more.https://people.unisa.edu.au/Terry.BoyleDr Terry Boyle is an epidemiologist in the Australian Centre for Precision Health at UniSA. He has a broad interest in lifestyle factors and chronic disease, with a focus on the role that physical activity and sedentary behaviour play in cancer risk, cancer survival and cancer survivorship. While he conducts research on a range of cancers, his recent studies have been on haematological cancers such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Terry received his PhD from The University of Western Australia in 2012, then received prestigious Fellowships from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) which gave him the opportunity to spend two years at the BC Cancer Agency and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. He joined UniSA in October 2017, before which he was at the Curtin University School of Public Health in Western Australia.Terry has experience in a range of epidemiological and biostatistical methods, including multiple imputation, meta-analysis, directed acyclic graphs, causal inference methods, assessment of lifestyle-related and occupational exposures and increasing participation in epidemiological studies, and is currently leading several projects involving pooling data from multiple national and international studies.

People say that age is just a number. And I agree - it's how you live your life that determines how young or old you are. Part of that is of course what you eat. How you eat. How much you eat. And how you feel. On that note, in celebration of my 47th birthday, I'm giving you 47% OFF my subscription plans until end of play Monday.Use the code MIKKI47 for this awesome deal on my FLOW (fat loss plan for women), my Man Plan (fat loss plan for, you guessed it, men), my real food plan and my athlete plan. Find these options here and use the code MIKKI47 (it IS case sensitive)Also - because I like to share what's on my mind... here's 47 things I've been thinking about.Eating: is always ‘opportunity cost’ Most people need to eat more proteinSome women are afraid to eat meat for fear of gaining weightThere are good and bad foods, and eating them doesn’t make you a good or bad personIt’s not enough to eat one of those steam locked bags of vegetables at dinner and call it ‘good’Weetbix shouldn’t be a meal. Neither should toastSometimes ‘good enough’ isn’t actually good enough - to reach your goals you have to do betterYou can’t get everything you need from foodThe people that take notice of the ‘eat less red meat’ messages are those that need to eat it the mostMost people could do with eating less carbs20g of protein in a meal is not a high protein mealMost people under-report the amount of alcohol they drinkFor most people, they don’t need to be perfect, they just need to be consistentDon’t rely on one source of truth for your nutrition adviceGetting your nutrition advice from someone whose course was a week long is fine, until something goes wrong.Why call it a ‘cheat meal’ if you’re only ‘cheating’ yourselfIf you have toast for breakfast and a sandwich for lunch, you need to rethink your nutrition strategyThose small tins of tuna/salmon are not a high protein optionMost people have an opinion on nutrition because they eat. You can’t be healthy at any size if you don’t exerciseThose snack choices on a short haul flight are unnecessary and you don’t need to be eating a cookieIf you care about your cholesterol, cut down on your carbohydrate intakeNot everyone needs to lower their saturated fat intakeIn nutrition, there are people and organisations who have an agenda that isn’t related to your healthRed meat isn’t high in saturated fat, actuallyMost processed food doesn’t contain saturated fat as it’s quite expensiveIf you don’t exercise, you aren’t healthy, even if you are leanYou don’t need to be entertained by every single mealFamily history is a big predictor in a lot of disease-states, however your genes are not your destinyIt’s never too late to changeBe wary of anyone who speaks in black and white, and won’t change their opinion in the face of new informationCardio is really important for your heart and long term health and it’s wise to do that alongside your resistance trainingMuesli bars/granola bars aren’t a good snack choiceIf you live in NZ you need to take a vitamin D supplement and you need more than the dose that we are allowed to sellMost people don’t need to snack, but athletes could do with that fourth eating opportunityThe iron supplement you get from your doctor is not the only choice for ironWhy are there ‘kids menus’ at restaurants?Your high blood pressure is as likely linked to a high carbohydrate load as it is your salt intakeSome women train just fine fastedFor some people, intermittent fasting is the best approach, even if they are womenFruit isn’t a health food for some peopleButter trumps margarineYour cholesterol level is less important than what your doctor thinks it isMost people need a magnesium supplement Keto for fat loss is not a high fat dietYou can’t get fit by eating differently. You have to exercise‘Everything in moderation’ isn’t true for everyone Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 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
