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!

Brilliant Dr Mulgan interview

Mikki! Great interview, I could have listened for another few hours! I have one of his books….ashamed to admit I’ve not read it (I am a great buyer of books which get read eventually…..true!) but I’m starting on it this afternoon. I’ve taken away so much from this interview. You always ask the right questions, so many podcasters don’t do their research and it’s almost embarrassing listening to them……11/10 Mikki.

5+ stars!! ✨

Kia ora Mikki! Love your podcast. So many pearls of wisdom. Love that you have a mix of short episodes when there’s only time for a nibble, and longer, in depth sessions when there’s time to digest more. Your info is clear, evidence based and practical. Love your work 🤩 Ngā mihi nui Mikki!
