Mini Mikkipedia - Visceral vs Stubborn Fat: What Actually Works

This week on Mini Mikkipedia, Mikki breaks down one of the most misunderstood topics in fat loss: the difference between visceral fat and stubborn subcutaneous fat. While often lumped together, these two fat types behave very differently—and require completely different strategies. Mikki explains why visceral fat, despite being more harmful metabolically, is actually easier to lose and highly responsive to aerobic exercise—even without weight loss. She also unpacks why stubborn fat (think lower belly, hips, thighs) is slower to shift, driven by different receptor biology and requiring sustained consistency over time. This episode is especially relevant for women navigating perimenopause, where hormonal changes can shift fat distribution without changes on the scale. If you’ve been frustrated by lack of progress, this conversation will help you understand what’s really going on—and what to do next. Highlights: Why visceral fat is dangerous—but easier to lose The hormonal drivers of fat redistribution in perimenopause Why aerobic exercise outperforms resistance training for visceral fat The physiology behind “stubborn” fat and why it resists change Practical strategies to target both fat types effectively Contact Mikki: NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at , or Curranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at or off your first order
