Eating Disorders, Lost Periods, Low Thyroid & Rock Bottom: UFC Champion On The Real Cost Of Fighting | Miesha Tate
About this episode
Miesha Tate discusses her struggles with eating disorders, hormonal health, and the costs of her fighting career with Dr. Will Cole.
UFC World Champion Miesha Tate joins Dr. Will Cole for one of the most honest conversations about an athlete's relationship with food, hormones, and identity ever recorded on this show. Miesha shares her journey from a broke college kid fighting in a barn to winning a world title — and what it cost her: eating disorders, yo-yo dieting for 14 years, a hypothyroidism diagnosis at 19, losing her period after dropping to 125 pounds post-kids, and the moment after retiring that brought her to a breaking point. She also shares what actually healed her — spiritually, relationally, and physically — and why she's now on a mission to close the gender gap in hormonal research, starting with the luteal phase.
