Taryn Swears: Nutrition | Mindset | Hormones

Today, I sit down with Kristine Ziffra, CEO at Peak Wellness Solutions LLC, to hear her amazing story as an athlete who was forced to weather an unexpected postpartum health scare, emerging stronger than ever thanks to the power of her faith.

Kristine Ziffra has been involved in the fitness industry for 13 years. She worked at a big box gym for the first five of those years right out of college before making the leap into establishing her own fitness studio, FIT Project. She ended up building a 3200-square-foot facility, hiring eight coaches, and accumulating a pool of 20 clients.

Six years later, in July of 2022, Kristine sold FIT Project to commit to coaching pregnant and postpartum women, a passion that blossomed out of her own recent pregnancy.

Listen in as Kristine shares how she was able to breeze through her pregnancy while keeping up a solid level of fitness, only to be faced with the most difficult months of her life postpartum.

At one point, she had to deal with the trauma of retained placenta—when the placenta doesn’t come out of the uterus completely after the baby is born.

Kristine encourages us, through her example, to choose faith over fear, to refuse to play the victim, and adopt a mindset of resilience, joy, and gratitude for the miracle of childbirth.

To Kristine, getting through that incredibly challenging year came down to using mindset to “control what I could and surrendering to the rest” by knowing her trust lies in God.

Key Topics:

• Kristine’s story and how she maintained her fitness throughout her pregnancy (2:18)
• Common myths around fitness and pregnancy (10:11)
• How Kristine prepared for delivery and postpartum (17:40)
• How a strong mindset helped Kristine weather through postpartum (30:10)
• Choosing faith over fear (43:18)

Hormones are ALL the rage right now! And while they’re always super relevant to your health journey, hormonal factors only continue to get more critical as you get up in age.

Hormones are important substances that serve as chemical messengers in your body. They facilitate nearly every bodily process, including metabolism, hunger, and fullness. Because of their association with appetite, some hormones also play a significant role in body weight.

However, I’ve noticed that hormones are often the first thing people blame, even before lifestyle choices and environmental factors, when they stall in their weight loss goals.

It’s true: Hormones absolutely influence your body composition, but that doesn’t mean you have to be at their mercy. The key to a successful weight loss journey is to claim personal responsibility over those controllables, day after day.

Keep in mind that I’m no medical professional. Always ask your doctor for advice if any of my suggestions get you thinking!

With that foundation in place, tune in as I share the five main hormones that can affect your body composition during weight loss, and six steps to assessing whether you truly have a hormonal issue, or a lifestyle issue!

The five hormones that affect your body composition are…

• Insulin: Are you resistant or sensitive? (6:23)
• Leptin and Ghrelin: The fullness and hunger hormones (6:54)
• Cortisol: The stress hormone (8:20)
• Estrogen: The sex hormone (9:51)
• Your thyroid: The door to your metabolism (11:20)

To assess the impact of these hormones on weight loss, take inventory of…

• …everything you eat (15:05)
• …your sleep hygiene (17:22)
• …how much water you drink (19:55)
• …your stress levels (20:52)
• …your workouts (22:37)
• …your nutrition (25:24)

What a great honor it was to be able to have Stephanie Danielle on with us. She's a Relationship Healer, Soul Contract Expert, and Intuitive Energy Reader. Stephanie is committed to being a supportive voice in a noisy and often-confusing space.

Her incredible story is one that you are NOT going to want to miss, especially if you are someone who has gone through infertility, miscarriage, or any other challenge that can come with birthing and motherhood.

Listen in as Stephanie tells us how to access the divine in order to discover answers to the questions our soul yearns for, particularly as they relate to healing past traumas.

“The deeper the trauma,” says Stephanie, “the greater the distortion around that trauma.”

She explains how you can access the deepest part of your subconscious mind, to reconnect with your intuition and activate your dormant ability to communicate with your soul. Speaking directly to those suffering the multilayered loss that comes with a miscarriage, Stephanie implores women to keep trusting their body no matter what. That starts when we find the meaning associated with the loss.

According to Stephanie, “When we go through a miscarriage or an infertility struggle, we’re made to feel like there is something wrong with our body. We never think about it from the perspective of, ‘What are we facilitating for the soul so that it may come through us?’”

To illustrate all of this, Stephanie shares her own heart-wrenching and inspiring story of having struggled with the loss of life and a piece of herself, and how fully surrendering and listening to her soul afterward allowed her to gain more than she ever could have desired!

Key Topics:

• How Stephanie was drawn to her current path (05:24)
• What is a “soul contract”? (09:45)
• What happens in our brain when we go through a traumatic experience? (15:05)
• Stephanie’s energetic approach to overcoming infertility (23:46)
• How to tap into your intuition and communicate with your soul (38:17)
• Stephanie’s message to women struggling with a miscarriage or infertility (44:31)

You are going to LOVE this interview with Krissi Thomas! The moment words come out of her mouth, you are immediately sucked into her magnetic energy!

Krissi is a Mom, wife, badass marketing & branding specialist, and serial entrepreneur. She’s the founder of CheekyBoom, a lifestyle brand rooted in the belief of being bold and living loud.

She's coming in HOT with a dose of reality when it comes to banishing limiting beliefs and setting goals that last. It all comes down to eliminating this single four-letter word: can’t.

According to Krissi, “When you use ‘can’t’, you’ve already given up. I believe in failure because failure is your first attempt at learning. You have to fail to succeed.”

Adopting a go-get-em mindset starts with owning your excuses. The best way to go about it? By anchoring everything that you do to a powerful “why.”

Getting clear on your “why” emotionalizes a goal and fuels your resolve to see that goal accomplished in a way that’s just not sustainable without a strong purpose in place!

Ready to learn how to put all of this into practice? If so, let’s jump into it!

Key Topics:

• What is this dreaded four-letter word, exactly? (05:59)
• The inspiration behind CheekyBoom (12:17)
• You can always strive to be better (19:16)
• Rewiring your mind to get rid of limiting beliefs by asking “why” (25:06)
• Eliminating “should” and “try” from your vocabulary (36:10)
• Raising the energy of the room (39:09)
• Recap (44:48)

As we close out 2022, I do a deep dive into the good, better, best method to become macro-minded.

Going into the new year, allow yourself to make the contractual commitment to let go of unhealthy, unproductive paradigms to make room for real growth. This means getting honest with where you currently are on your journey and where you want to go.

If anyone tells you that they have a one-size-fits-all program, run! We’re all wired differently and everybody has their own unique, holistic journey. Honing your macro-mindedness helps you learn how to create a lifestyle best suited to your nutritional needs, preferences, and goals.

Listen in as I share the three scenarios to becoming macro-minded, from the good: tracking and logging your food; to the better: knowing your macronutrients, especially protein; to the best: understanding how to set your macros.

Key Topics:

• Setting yourself up for success going into the new year (01:19)
• Showing up for yourself holistically (03:21)
• Letting go of the mindset holding you back (06:20)
• Your unique journey (09:16)
• Food is a personal thing (12:52)
• Tracking (14:01)
• Carbohydrates, protein, fat (18:44)
• Setting your macros (26:31)
• Recap (30:45)

I was so excited to be joined by my friend Brooke Erickson, who is a functional nutritionist and the founder of Nourish Thrive. She specializes in a HUGE laundry list of digestive disorders and chronic health issues like mitochondrial dysfunction, autoimmune issues, histamine intolerances, chronic fatigue, hormone imbalances, diabetes, fertility, and preconception, to name just a few.

Brittney is a hair stylist living in Colorado Springs, CO, and owner of Free Lady Co!

Welcome to my VERY first Podcast Episode of Taryn Swears! 

This will be the most vulnerable and raw that I’ve been in a long while, unless you follow me on Instagram — you’ll get snippets there, too! 

But hey, I’m Taryn Perry, a Mom of 4 incredible humans, wife to my super rad husband, an entrepreneur, a Certified Holistic Nutrition Practitioner, a career Fitness Trainer, and your soon-to-be podcast BFF! 

Since 2008, I’ve mostly shared my journey through fitness, nutrition & motherhood via social platforms — Facebook & Instagram. And while it’s always been authentic to what I’m going through during each phase of having kids, I knew I wanted to open up more “behind the scenes” and truly EDUCATE listeners on specific struggles that aren’t always shared.  We only get to see the before & afters, but never get the nitty gritty, or the “during.” 

This podcast will truly be about things I SWEAR BY (yes, expect multiple f-bombs) regarding how I flipped my Mindset to focus on my Nutrition FIRST, so I could make a positive effect on my hormones, and come out of the funk & frustration I felt, and shit, I still do. You’ll be front row to the real & the raw, as I experience them, too! 

In each episode, I plan to give you action-oriented nuggets, that I learned through my various nutrition schooling & certifications and allow you to create your own path of success, through mindset hacks, nutrition tips & workouts that support your hormones. 

In this first episode, you will learn that I’m a straight shooter when it comes to educating people on nutrition — but in the most loving way! I’ll give you lots of back story of my journey to this point, so you can see the relatability in your own journey — but truly walk away knowing you have a strategy to work on after each episode.
