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":"2026-09-13T20:21:17.966335+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mikkipedia-1319728"},"episode":{"title":"Why Fat Loss Gets Harder in Menopause with Dr. Bill Campbell","slug":"why-fat-loss-gets-harder-in-menopause-with-dr-bill-campbell","published_at":"2026-09-01T17:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mikkipedia-1319728/why-fat-loss-gets-harder-in-menopause-with-dr-bill-campbell","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mikkipedia-1319728","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/b8d4eec5","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/b8d4eec5/410580ee.mp3","summary":"Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz , www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.com Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nz In this episode of Mikkipedia, Mikki speaks with returning guest Dr Bill Campbell, professor of exercise science and leading body composition researcher, about the emerging question of weight loss resistance during perimenopause and menopause . Bill shares how his wife’s own experience prompted him to investigate why previously effective calorie deficits may produce very different results during the menopause transition. They discuss the limits of existing fat-loss research, why tracking accuracy still matters, and Bill’s current study comparing weight-loss responses in premenopausal versus peri- and early postmenopausal women. Bill also unpacks his fascinating case series using an extremely aggressive four-day, high-protein fat-loss protocol, where resistance-trained women lost fat while largely maintaining lean mass—and maintained that fat loss a month later. Highlights What Bill means by “weight loss resistance” —and why it doesn’t mean calories no longer matter Why menopause-specific fat-loss research is still surprisingly limited Bill’s wife’s experience with perimenopause, HRT and changing body composition The four-day rapid fat-loss protocol: very low calories, high protein and six hours of walking daily Why short, aggressive dieting may differ dramatically from prolonged crash dieting Dr. Bill Campbell is a Professor of Exercise Science and the Director of The Performance and Physique Enhancement Lab at the University…","meta_description":"Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz , www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.com Curranz Supplement: Use code…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3443,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/mikkipedia-1319728/episodes/why-fat-loss-gets-harder-in-menopause-with-dr-bill-campbell/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mikkipedia-1319728/why-fat-loss-gets-harder-in-menopause-with-dr-bill-campbell.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
