Tyler W. LeBaron, MSc., PhD. joins Miesha to break down the science behind molecular hydrogen, mitochondrial health, and why many popular health strategies fail when tested in real humans. Drawing from years of research and clinical studies, Tyler explains how misunderstandings around oxidative stress, antioxidants, and cellular energy have shaped modern health myths—and why real outcomes matter more than theory. They explore how molecular hydrogen works at the cellular level, why mitochondria drive energy and longevity, and what emerging human data reveals about recovery, performance, and survival. If you’re ready to rethink what you’ve been told about health and optimization, this episode will change how you see your body—and how you support it.

Most people know AJ Richards as an outspoken advocate for ranchers and food sovereignty—but few understand the depth of his mission or the personal journey that led him here. In this episode, Miesha sits down with AJ at the Food Is Medicine Summit to uncover the truth about America’s collapsing food system—and the spiritual calling that pushed him to build FromTheFarm.org, a platform reconnecting families with the farmers who feed them. AJ explains why 90% of grocery store “food” is nutritionally dead, how policy and corporate control have pushed ranchers to the brink, and why the next decade could determine whether America keeps its food independence. He breaks down how modern processing strips away nutrients, how trauma and emotional patterns influence eating behaviors, and why whole, local foods are essential for metabolic health and long-term wellbeing. They also dive deep into the crisis facing family ranches—from environmental lawsuits to water restrictions to manipulated cattle markets—and how direct-to-consumer buying can help save local agriculture. AJ shares his powerful personal story of bankruptcy, combat service, spiritual awakening, and the moment he realized he was being called to fight for America’s food future. Whether you’re a parent trying to feed your family better, someone struggling with nutrition and emotional eating, or an American concerned about where your food comes from—this conversation will completely shift how you see our food system, your health, and the people who make both possible.
