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!

In this episode, Mikki speaks with Professor Michael Snyder, Chair of Genetics at Stanford University and a global leader in personalised medicine. They explore how our genes, gut microbiome, and lifestyle choices interact to shape metabolic health—and why we all respond so differently to the same foods. Mike shares insights from his groundbreaking research using wearables and genomics to track health in real time, the future of personalised nutrition, and how continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can help anyone understand their body better. They also discuss the link between viral infections and diabetes, why strength training matters more than you think, and how food truly functions as medicine.

Highlights:

The genetics of metabolic individuality and why “one-size-fits-all” diets don’t work
How CGMs reveal surprising glucose spikes and help improve long-term health
The microbiome’s crucial role in metabolism and disease risk
Subtypes of diabetes and what they mean for treatment and lifestyle
Why Professor Snyder believes health tracking is the future of preventive medicine
