Built for Growth by Miesha Tate

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.
