The Nourished CEO Podcast Eat The Cookie with Taylor Kiser
It’s time to build a solid foundation based on your relationship with God. I’m joined by Taylor Kiser from Food Faith Fitness to talk about how when she recognized the role God had in her life, she healed her body and grew her blogging business.
About Taylor Kiser
Taylor Kiser is passionate about helping women achieve health without obsession. It’s her goal to help women accept their bodies and to remove food guilt by helping you know your self-worth so they can live free.
Taylor has healed herself from disordered eating twice and has built a better foundation with God in the process. Now, Taylor uses her food blogging platform, Food Faith Fitness, to help other women honor God and their bodies with healthy recipes, faith reflections, and fitness advice.
When Taylor was in recovery for her disordered eating, she turned to the Bible. Growing up, she knew the Bible from the surface, but during these five weeks, she realized that God wasn’t speaking to all women - He was speaking directly to her, as he is directly speaking to all women who read His words.
As with so many Christian women, Taylor explains how her perfectionism led to her food struggles. She believed her approach to food and nutrition needed to be perfect - 95% perfect. Now, Taylor approaches food in a more relaxed way, applying that famous 80/20 breakdown.
During her disordered eating, Taylor shares how she lost her period. She knew she was devoid of a lot of the emotions linked to women’s hormone changes without it, and when she reclaimed her period, she felt those feelings coming back.
Taylor explains how she reframed her mindset when it came to working out. She stopped using exercise as a tool for how she looked and instead focused on how she felt after working out. She also shares some easy ways to add extra veggies to your recipes.
Finally, Taylor talks about what it was like starting her food blog 7 years ago and how the industry has changed. She gives some tips for how you can start a food blog now and what you need to be aware of.

Quotes
“Just remember that social media is a highlight reel. We all know this in our heads, even if we don’t really believe it in our hearts if we still think that one person maybe is posting real life all the time - but literally no one is.” (17:07)
“You have to remember to have balance, even if you enjoy what you’re doing.” (28:17)
“Having that [food] freedom the Lord has for us, while still nourishing our foods, while still having goals, and not allowing ourselves to go too far one way or the other, if that makes sense. Finding that beautiful middle ground.” (30:35)
