This week on the podcast I speak to Dr Frank Mitolenher about the impact of greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector on the global climate change challenge. We talk about how the perception of the agricultural sector has changed over time in his career in light of climate change. We talk about the impact of a methane tax on NZ farmers, and other solutions internationally used to help reduce methane emissions. We talk about the things that move the needle on climate change, the power of buying locally and other topics related to environmental health.Frank can be found here: https://clear.ucdavis.edu/people/frank-mitloehnerTwitter: https://twitter.com/GHGGuru Dr. Frank Mitloehner is a professor and air quality specialist in cooperative extension in the Department of Animal Science at UC Davis. As such, he shares his knowledge and research, both domestically and abroad, with students, scientists, farmers and ranchers, policy makers, and the public at large. Frank is also director of the CLEAR Center, which has two cores – research and communications. The CLEAR Center brings clarity to the intersection of animal agriculture and the environment, helping our global community understand the environmental and human health impacts of livestock, so we can make informed decisions about the foods we eat and while reducing environmental impacts. Frank is committed to making a difference for generations to come. As part of his position with UC Davis and Cooperative Extension, he collaborates with the animal agriculture sector to create better efficiencies and mitigate pollutants. He is passionate about understanding and mitigating air emissions from livestock operations, as well as studying the implications of these emissions on the health of farm workers and neighboring communities. In addition, he is focusing on the food production challenge that will become a global issue as the world’s population grows to nearly 10 billion by 2050. Frank received a Master of Science degree in animal science and agricultural engineering from the University of Leipzig, Germany, and a doctoral degree in animal science from Texas Tech University. Frank was recruited by UC Davis in 2002, to fill its first-ever position focusing on the relationship between livestock and air quality.

This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Dr Ted Neiman, science communicator and whole food diet expert, all about protein and satiety. They talk about how Ted became interested in nutrition (from a vegetarian background) and how his patients opened his eyes to the various ways which with we could use diet to arrive at optimal health outcomes. They discuss how Ted’s approach has evolved from protein:energy ratio to encompass much more around satiety related to other factors (fibre, micronutrients, and the hedonic nature of food). Ted outlines the satiety per calorie index (his new book is focused on) and why this could be the best tool to determine the best approach with regards to food (as they iron out a few wrinkles). They also discuss the biomarkers that Ted is most interested in when ordering tests for his patients, personal fat threshold and how this relates to health, and other topics which are in the realm of metabolic health. An insightful conversation!Dr. Ted Naiman, MD, is the Senior Science and Communication Advisor at Diet doctor and a board-certified Family Medicine physician in the department of Primary Care at a leading major medical center in Seattle.

We discuss the strengths and limitations of CGM in the athlete context and where Amy feels the application for this is going. We also discuss a recent paper from her PhD looking at dietitian practices at assessing for energy availability in athletes and the key considerations her research found.Amy is a seasonal dietetics tutor and teaching fellow at Bond University. Her research seeks to understand the current current practice pathways and subsequent dietary management used by sports dietitians when assessing and managing energy availability in athletes. Her PhD research ultimately aims to support sports dietitians managing energy availability in elite triathletesMIKKI gets you 25% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz to order yours or click the link in the show notes.

This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Andrew (Drew) Best about the limit of Human Energy expenditure. Related to the Herman Pontzer interview that we had on Episode 51, Drew is currently studying the limit of human performance, or rather, energy expenditure in a group of elite-level endurance runners and cyclists to determine whether the theoretical ceiling of 2.5x our basal metabolic rate (BMR) holds for these outlying individuals. Drew and Mikki discuss how basal metabolic rate is measured, if we can shift our BMR, how to measure TEE and why a TEE is risky from an evolutionary standpoint. They also discuss the contribution of non exercise activity thermogenesis and how this may change when we ramp up activity, and specifically what drew is finding in his study of the elite athletes - what lessons we might learn from this.Andrew Best is a biological anthropologist and Assistant Professor of Biology at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts; he is also a respectable endurance athlete in his own right. Andrew is currently conducting a research project on ultramarathon and ultra-endurance athletes that further tests the limits of the human metabolic scope.Andrew can be found at:Website: https://www.therunningprimate.com/Instagram: @therunningprimateTwitter: @RunningPrimateStrava: The Shreddy ProfessorEpisdoe 51 Herman Pontzer: The misunderstoood science of metabolism 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

This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to returning guest Dr Tommy Wood, about cognition, the brain, and what we can do to support brain health. They discuss how the environment today brings with it challenges to the brain that can be both protective, but also potentially work against us. They discuss how important genetics is in determining your disease risk profile when it comes to conditions such as Parkinsons and Alzheimers, and how lifestyle affects this risk. They discuss the paper that Tommy co-authored with Josh Turnkett that evaluated lifestyle interventions that move in the needle in terms of protecting the degeneration of our cognitive function (more than just sudoku) and this provides practical recommendations for anyone wanting to protect their brain as they age. They also discuss the link between muscle mass and brain health, and much more!Paper discussed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36139364/ Tommy Wood is part of the research faculty at the University of Washington (UW) in the Department of Pediatrics.
