    Jordan Syatt | Food Guilt, Fitness & the GLP-1 Conversation #114

    Jordan Syatt joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about food guilt, fitness, and building habits that fit a real life. The fitness coach shares how wrestling and powerlifting shaped his approach to training—and how his own struggles with restrictive eating changed the way he works with clients. Together, they unpack diet culture, the pressure to label foods good or bad, and why moderation can feel more complicated than it sounds. Miesha opens up about weight cutting and rebuilding her relationship with food, while Jordan reflects on the behavioral side of lasting change. They discuss everyday movement, strength training, sleep, and intermittent fasting before turning to GLP-1 medications. Jordan shares his personal experience, and the two explore their differing perspectives on medication, lifestyle changes, and stigma.

    Adeline Gray | Motherhood, Olympic Dreams & the Cost of Coming Back #113

    Adeline Gray joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about motherhood, Olympic dreams, and what it really takes to return to elite sport after having children. The six-time wrestling world champion and Olympic silver medalist shares her journey from wrestling boys in Colorado to competing on the world stage, and why keeping friendships and an identity outside the sport has mattered throughout her career. Adeline opens up about recovering after twins, breastfeeding while training, rebuilding strength, and giving herself more time after her third baby. Together, she and Miesha talk about sleep, support systems, the financial uncertainty of Olympic sport, and learning when to adjust training instead of pushing harder. They also discuss mom guilt, protecting family time, and Adeline’s uncertainty about pursuing another Olympic run or growing her family. It’s a grounded look at ambition and sacrifice—and the possibility of loving your children deeply while still making room for yourself.

    Dr. Cameron Chesnut | Why Less Is More in Facial Rejuvenation #111

    Dr. Cameron Chesnut joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about facial aging, facial plastic surgery, and why the best aesthetic work often looks like nothing happened at all. As a facial plastic surgeon and founder of 5C, Dr. Chesnut explains his “less is more” approach—restoring function, structure, and familiar identity instead of chasing dramatic transformation. Together, they explore the athlete’s mindset he brings to preparation and recovery, how inflammation, sleep, nutrition, hormones, and metabolic health can affect healing, and what patients should understand about fillers, biostimulatory products, Botox, facial movement, regenerative treatments, red light, sunlight, anesthesia, and the timing of surgery. Miesha also shares her own recovery experiences as a fighter and mother while Dr. Chesnut discusses why individualized care, restraint, and long-term thinking matter more than trends.

    Krista Mashore | Stop, Snap & Switch: Changing Your Inner Dialogue #110

    Krista Mashore joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about breaking family cycles, rebuilding self-worth, and finding the courage to start over. The real estate coach and author opens up about leaving home at 13, her experience in foster care, and the work that helped her rebuild a relationship with her mother. Beneath the career accomplishments is the part of her story she is most proud of: becoming a safe place for her daughters and choosing to parent differently. Together, they explore how childhood experiences can shape adult relationships, their personal struggles with eating disorders, and the self-talk that can persist even when life looks successful from the outside. Krista explains her Stop, Snap & Switch approach to noticing and reframing negative thoughts, while Miesha shares how she works through fear before a fight. They also discuss rebuilding after divorce, leaving an established real estate career to pursue coaching, learning from business setbacks, and supporting children without expecting yourself to be a perfect parent.

    Dr. Edward Walker | The Science Behind Hunger, Cravings, and Food Noise #109

    Dr. Edward Walker joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about appetite, cravings, food noise, and the gut-brain signals that influence how and when we eat.

Miesha shares her own history with weight cutting, underfueling, pregnancy, and the mental strain of constantly thinking about food. Together, they explore natural appetite signaling compared with injectable GLP-1 medications, fasting research in men and women, a 24-week placebo-controlled body composition study, the importance of preserving muscle, emotional eating, differences among individual responders, product timing, and future research in postmenopausal women. The study findings and product claims discussed in this episode are presented as described by Dr. Walker. This conversation is for educational purposes and is not medical advice.
