Chasing Clarity: Health & Fitness PodcastShow Notes
There is no shortage of nutrition advice in the health and fitness industry.
Yet despite all the information available, many people still struggle with the same core challenges: losing fat and keeping it off, improving metabolic health, and building a lean, strong physique.
In this week’s episode of the Chasing Clarity Health & Fitness Podcast, I’m joined once again by nutrition researcher and educator Mikki Williden for a Q&A episode covering some of the most important topics when it comes to long-term body composition improvement and metabolic health.
Together we discuss the habits that separate successful dieters from those who repeatedly regain weight, the most effective lifestyle levers for improving insulin sensitivity, and the biggest nutrition mistakes many women make when trying to build a lean, strong physique.
As always, this conversation blends physiology, research, and real-world coaching experience so you can better understand what actually drives sustainable results.

What if you could cut a significant amount of time off your workouts without sacrificing the training volume and hypertrophic stimulus you need to keep progressing?
For most of my career I would have told you spot reduction was a myth, and I would have been right to, because that’s what the evidence supported at the time. But over the last decade the research has moved, and it changed my position from “this is impossible” to “this is a small, real effect you can take advantage of under very specific conditions.”
What actually separates the people who successfully lose body fat, keep it off, and build a better physique from those who spend years bouncing between diets without making lasting progress?
Everyone wants to know if you can build muscle and lose fat at the same time. But the more important question is how you actually program for it.
Do refeeds and diet breaks actually improve fat loss, preserve your metabolism and help you maintain more muscle, or do they simply give you more calories and slow down your diet?
