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. This conversation is for educational purposes and is not medical advice. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about procedures, medications, supplements, or recovery protocols.

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. It’s a candid conversation about accountability, connection, and continuing to grow while you’re still a work in progress.

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. As one of the scientists behind Amarasate, the New Zealand hop extract used in Calocurb, Dr. Walker explains the research process that led his team to study the body's natural release of appetite-related hormones including GLP-1, CCK, and PYY.

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.

Allie Gibbons joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about ultrarunning, pregnancy, motherhood, and discovering how much more you may be capable of. After entering her first ultramarathon in 2024, Allie moved quickly from 50 miles to 100, completed the Bigfoot 200 at six weeks pregnant, and won the women's race at The Speed Project Atacama—a roughly 300-mile race across Chile's Atacama Desert—at 22 weeks pregnant.

Allie explains how she trained, sought specialist guidance, prepared herself to stop if necessary, and relied on a crew that monitored her health throughout the race. Together, she and Miesha explore intuition versus outside expectations, fueling and rest during multi-day endurance events, distinguishing pain you can endure from a warning you should respect, and the mental shift that happens when motherhood gives the struggle a deeper purpose. Allie also shares how her daughter Goldie changed her inner dialogue when she wanted to quit, why parents lead most powerfully by example, and why her message is not to copy her mileage—it is to stop counting yourself out. This conversation reflects Allie's individual experience and is not medical advice.

Cristina Zenato joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about sharks, fear, trust, and the courage to build a life around a calling others do not understand. Cristina shares how a childhood dream took her from Italy to the Bahamas, where one week in the water led her to leave everything behind and begin a 32-year relationship with sharks, cave diving, education, and conservation.

Together, they challenge common shark myths, explain why fear is often taught, and explore how breath, preparation, and direct experience can change the way we respond to the unknown. Cristina also opens up about removing hundreds of hooks from sharks, how sharks communicate and seek help, rebuilding through devastating personal and professional losses, choosing purpose over constant happiness, and why one small action can still make a meaningful difference.
