Tyler Minton joins Miesha Tate for a real conversation about nutrition, weight cutting, female athlete health, and why food quality matters beyond the number on the scale. As a registered dietitian who works with high-level athletes, including Max Holloway, Tyler breaks down the difference between calories, macros, and micronutrients, and explains why under-fueling is more common than many athletes realize.

Together, Miesha and Tyler talk about extreme weight cuts, eating disorder patterns after fight camp, protein and fiber for satiety, whole foods versus ultra-processed foods, hormones, menstrual cycles, low energy availability, and how nutrition can create generational change when parents learn how to fuel themselves and their families better.
