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!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T06:20:29.552212+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mikkipedia-1319728"},"episode":{"title":"Mini Mikkipedia -  Lipoedema: When Fat Loss Isn’t the Issue","slug":"mini-mikkipedia-lipoedema-when-fat-loss-isn-t-the-issue","published_at":"2026-07-05T17:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mikkipedia-1319728/mini-mikkipedia-lipoedema-when-fat-loss-isn-t-the-issue","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mikkipedia-1319728","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/94322df2","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/94322df2/a1be9c02.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Mini Mikkipedia, Mikki unpacks lipoedema, a chronic adipose tissue disorder that remains underdiagnosed despite affecting a significant number of women. She explains why lipoedema is not simply “stubborn fat”, but a condition involving altered fat tissue, inflammation, fibrosis, lymphatic dysfunction and pain. Mikki explores why standard diet and exercise approaches often fail to shift affected tissue, while still playing an important role in managing symptoms, inflammation, mobility and secondary weight gain. She also covers emerging evidence around low-carbohydrate and ketogenic approaches, low-impact exercise, compression and lymphatic support, specialist liposuction, and the developing conversation around GLP-1 medications. This episode is essential listening for anyone who has felt dismissed, confused, or blamed when their body has not responded as expected. Highlights: Why lipoedema is biologically different from general body fat How low-carbohydrate approaches may help reduce pain and inflammation The role of exercise, lymphatic flow, compression and mobility Why specialist liposuction is currently the most direct tissue-targeting intervention Where GLP-1 medications may fit in future lipoedema management Contact Mikki: https://mikkiwilliden.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutrition https://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/ https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nz Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz , www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.com Curranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order","meta_description":"In this episode of Mini Mikkipedia, Mikki unpacks lipoedema, a chronic adipose tissue disorder that remains underdiagnosed despite affecting a significant…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1208,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/mikkipedia-1319728/episodes/mini-mikkipedia-lipoedema-when-fat-loss-isn-t-the-issue/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mikkipedia-1319728/mini-mikkipedia-lipoedema-when-fat-loss-isn-t-the-issue.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
