Chapter 1: What parenting hack transformed Miesha Tate's fighter mindset?
I think it's definitely a favor to the kids, but when you have your kids about two years apart and God help anybody who has them closer than that, because I just don't know how that works. My kids, you know, all the time, like stop. I don't know if it's bad to tell them to stop competing or whatever, because I'm sure it's probably, you know, hardwired in them.
But, um, sometimes I'm like, can you guys just stop racing everywhere? Cause no matter what, like, it's just a lose, lose for me. I love it. You know, they got that competitive nature from you. I don't know what your husband does, but it sounds like he fights too. Oh, so yeah. Well, yeah, it's in the DNA. They're going to become fighters then, huh?
I think so. My daughter's already wrestling. So wow. How old is she? She's six. Wow. Six. My son is coming in at four. He's going to start wrestling actually this coming week. Yeah. I always ask fighters if they want their kids to be fighters. Most of the times they say no, actually.
Yeah, I share that sentiment. I don't want them to become fighters, but if they do, then I'll try to make them the best that I can. Why do you lean more towards no? It's just dangerous. It's not very pro-brain health. And the more that I dive into that world of health and anti-aging and all the biohacking world, I just realize how much brain trauma is.
but did you get a brain scan done on yourself or anything like that? Yeah. But you know, a lot of the brain scans that we do before we go into fights and stuff, they're not really, they don't really tell you anything. They're a still image. It's like taking a screenshot, but, but a brain doesn't work on a still image. It's like how it fires and how it moves through. So learning more about that.
Um, I have, I went to, um, the Amon's clinic and I had a brain scan down there. That was interesting. Yeah, you had to play the game for 15 minutes, right?
Yeah, I had to play the game. And then, you know, you lay down and you get the little, you know, what, put around your head and you go into kind of what feels like maybe like an MRI machine, if anybody's been that. But anyways, yeah, they measure your blood flow. I had a lot of spots where I wasn't getting blood flow actually in my brain. I was surprised. Yeah. Yeah.
See, and I didn't have a lot of the spots, which was really news to me because I really thought that I was going to have a worse brain. But Dr. Amina was actually the one who read my report to me and he was like, okay, Misha, I've seen you fight. I've got some good news. Your brain is actually looks really good. And so his first question was to me was, do you do hyperbarics? And I was like, yeah.
He's like, how many have you done? I was like, hundreds. And he's like, it shows. We see it clinically that this helps getting oxygen through the brain. I mean, our brain is a really oxygen-dependent organ. It uses about 22% of our daily oxygen, which is impressive, right? Because it's not a muscle or anything like that, but it's operating everything that we do.

Chapter 5: What are the benefits of hyperbaric therapy?
Super short notice. And I know with the ladies, they like to get their makeup done and everything sometimes. Yeah, I did mine in the car. How's it look? Yeah, thanks. I think I hit you up like 20 minutes before. Yeah.
And I was like, usually that never works out because I have kids. But luckily today, my fiance, I was like, can you take him to gymnastics? Because I got a last minute request and I kind of want to do it. Oh, I love it. Yeah. Two kids, right? Two of them. Yeah. Beautiful. That's my goal, too. Yeah. I want at least two.
At least two. Yeah. Well, here's some advice, though. One kid turns you into a parent. Two turns you into a referee. Really? Just be prepared. Okay. Yeah. Well, I was an only child and I saw parts of my life where I was kind of lonely and stuff. So I just want my kid to be.
I think it's definitely a favor to the kids, but when you have your kids about two years apart and God help anybody who has them closer than that, because I just don't know how that works.

Because it's not a muscle or anything like that, but it's operating everything that we do.
When you get in the hyperbaric chamber and you hyperoxygenate your body, not just your blood cells, but the blood plasma, that's where it gets really interesting. So Boyle's Law says that if you hold a gas over a liquid and you add pressure, that it dissolves the gas into the liquid.
And so basically what happens when you go under pressure in a hyperbaric chamber is that you are transferring the oxygen into the liquid of the body, so to speak. And so your plasma becomes very oxygen-rich and Typically the plasma is a reservoir for oxygen. So it's only about 3%.

Chapter 8: What are Miesha's thoughts on brain health?
Yeah, dopamine fast. Not as much as I should be, if we're being honest, because I have to be on my phone a lot for work. I get a lot of guests and stuff. I feel like, you know, and that's where you get sucked into it. People are like, you know, parenting is so hard. And I'm like, I don't know if parenting is so hard. It's just everything else is hard. Yeah.
You know, so it makes it hard to do that and be a parent because parents like a full time job. It is. You got iPads for the kids yet? They do have iPads, but they collect a lot of dust. Oh, you don't let them use it?
Only on long road trips or on airplanes. Smart. Pretty much. And every great once in a while as a reward. They get some TV, but it's really only about each kid gets 30 minutes of show. So it's an hour total a day. Wow. Strict.
Yeah, pretty strict. But, you know, my kids are awesome. Like, when you meet my kids, you'll be like, your kids are great. Like, they're well-behaved and they speak well. Like, my kids were speaking full sentences at two years old. Whoa. That's super early. Yeah.
Yeah, but I think that's what kids are capable of, you know? I mean, that's me personally. Like no other, you know, otherwise healthy children I think are capable of that. But I think we just handicap them a lot and we baby them a lot and we don't, we think that iPads are okay. I'm like, I personally am pretty anti-electronics for kids, especially early on.
It's because their brains are forming for the first time. And I look at iPads as like, the input is coming from the outside in. So like you're programming the child. When you take the iPad away and a child is bored, that's great. Whenever my kids tell me they're bored, I'm like, awesome. Love it. Go find some way to entertain yourself because then the creativity comes from the inside out.
And they start creating using their imagination. And those neural networks, the children are building like, thousands of neurons a minute. It's crazy how their brains formulate. So I think when, you know, we can be careful about balancing that. I know we live in a day and age where you can't avoid it. Yeah.
You know, they're going to see TVs or their friends. We go to the gym. We don't bring anything for the kids to watch. Really? Yeah. We'll do practice and be like, go find like a yoga ball and play. Hmm.
And they will. They'll play tag and they'll wrestle and they'll do things. That's how I grew up as a kid. And before that, that's how the generations before did it. So it can be done. It's just easy and convenient for parents to just throw their kids on an iPad. But I'm not trying to shame anybody. I get that it's difficult. I use it time and place too.
