Mikki Williden
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!

They also discuss sex and age based differences and whether these are important to get the most out of the time spent training.Dr. Martin Gibala is a muscle physiologist and professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
