Being yourself and doing what works best for you will set you apart and lead you to great success.    In this episode, Sethia joins Bikini Diaries to discuss how being herself has contributed to creating longevity in the sport and how she revamped her stage look from head to toe. She also talks about highly recommended supplements that actually work for you.    Sethia Daigle is an IFBB Bikini Pro, and director of operations at Global Formulas. She formerly served in the military. The 29-year-old has been in the game for the past four years and she earned her Pro Card in Vegas Nationals in 2016. Since she began competing, Sethia has recorded remarkable success including placing 1st in her first National as well as gaining Olympia qualification for 2020. Her goal is to compete in the big shows such as Arnold and New York Pro.       Takeaways You give what you get and you get what you give Push your limits If stuff is not lining up, hold off on competing until you can focus You also need a mental break Have a mind of your own Listen to your body to know what it needs or don't need Make sure you're happy when doing the sport Don't let anybody make you do something you don't want to do    Important Questions  [00:03:01] How many years have you been competing?

The Power of Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) Today we will focus on a topic that is yet to be discussed on the Bikini Diaries podcast - PEDs, and in particular, SARMs. If these acronyms sound new to you, PED stands for Performance Enhancing Drugs and SARMs stands for Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators. Without getting too technical on these terms, the purpose of using performance-enhancing drugs is to help shed fat and build muscle faster than you would naturally. The use of performance-enhancing drugs in the bodybuilding world is increasingly on the rise, and many athletes opt to use them for various reasons.   Before engaging in any of these drugs, it's important to take time and research about the potential health risks and benefits. If the risks outweigh the benefits, the benefits may not be worth the risk. You will agree with me that nothing better than hearing from someone with firsthand experience with using these enhancements. That's why Hana DeVore is in the house to help us understand these terms better as well as share her experience using them.   Hana DeVore is a skilled coach, athlete, and IFBB Bikini Pro. She currently works as an E-commerce Marketing Manager at Rich Products Corporation. Hana earned her Pro Card at the NPC National Championship in 2015. Before taking a hiatus from the sport in 2016, she had successfully competed for two and a half years. The accomplished Bikini Pro is set to make her comeback in October 19 at the San Antonio Classic. Hana's short term goal for the sport is to place 1st while her ultimate goal is to compete in the Olympia.   In this episode, we will discuss in-depth about PEDs, performance enhancement drugs. In particular, we will be talking about SARMs. Hana will help us understand what PEDs are, what effects they can have on your body, and her experience with using them. She will also be answering some of your questions regarding PEDs. Additionally, she will shares with us her story about why she took a three-year hiatus from the stage.   Takeaways The more you do it, the more you do it Surround yourself with the right people Do your research before using PED Always consult your doctor when not sure Have your coach explain everything - including the good and the bad You're not indebted to your coach, ask them questions Work with what works best for you Always listen to your body When you think that something's a little bit off, investigate it   Important Questions [00:03:15] How many years have you been competing? [00:03:31] When and where did you get your pro card? [00:06:25] Why do you compete? [00:14:49] What made you decide to take a break? [00:27:01] How many years did you compete naturally? [00:31:19] What exactly is Ostarine and what is it normally used for in the bodybuilding space? [00:34:17] What is Anavar and what is it used for? [00:35:31] What were some of the side effects that you experienced? [00:45:46] What percentage of girls do you think is using some kind of performance enhancements? [00:48:17] When girls are taking PEDs, is there differences in their voice, body hair, mood swings? [00:50:36] When you're on the Mirena or IUD, does that have any effect on the effectiveness of PED? [00:52:41] Did you ever feel a difference when you were in the gym? [00:53:18] Were you ever afraid of the risks before you started trying PED? [00:55:43] What advice would you give to the athletes being told by their coaches to use them? [00:58:45] As far as everything you've heard about PEDs and SARMs, is there any of them you would say are safe? [01:03:38] What exactly are your goals in the sport?

IFBB Bikini Competitor and Pro Physique Coach Dani Krshka joins Paul Revelia on the show to discuss her health and fitness journey.

In this episode if Integrative Thoughts I had the pleasure of interviewing Naiyma Thompson. Naiyma is an IFBB Bikini Pro and the host of the "Bikini Diaries" podcast. As a child Naiyma was very interested in being a model. While continuing her knowledge of the modeling world she realized how quickly genetics and height would play a major role in her advancement in this arena. She quickly let her dream of taking the stage die, that is until she found herself competing in her high school body building competition. A decade later she is a starting a business, an IFBB pro, and host a podcast all surrounding her favorite sport.    In this episode we get into: -Naiyma's past as an athlete and a competitor -Her dietary protocol on and off season -The emotions, prep, and judging involved in the day of the show -The benefits she experienced while trying intermittent fasting -Her favorite quotes, books she reading, and personal development -Her mindset to become #1   Get in contact with Naiyma: Instagram: @naiymafit My Affirmation Leggings: https://www.etsy.com/listing/713847149/my-affirmation-black-leggings?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=affirmation+leggings&ref=sr_gallery-1-4&organic_search_click=1&col=1 Podcast: Bikini Diaries Show Notes: The Success principles:  https://www.amazon.com/Success-Principles-TM-Where-Want/dp/0060594896 Sleep Mode melatonin:  https://www.amazon.com/Bulletproof-Softgels-Asleep-Faster-Nights/dp/B06XT2PQYT/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3CFDFARWLLT5O&keywords=sleep+mode+melatonin&qid=1562952016&s=gateway&sprefix=sleep+mode+mela%2Cstripbooks%2C157&sr=8-3 Fasting tips: https://www.amazon.com/Intermittent-Fasting-Cheat-Sheet-Transform/dp/1727019768/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=ben+azadi&qid=1562952059&s=gateway&sr=8-2 Find a coach with Team Boss Bodies: https://www.teambossbodies.com

What excitement!   Now, think about these two scenarios: You want to do something and you have widely available opportunities - all you have to do is put in the work. On the other hand, you want to do something but you have limited opportunities.    While bikini competition may be popular in some parts of the world with diverse platforms where you can accumulate your points, this is not the case for every athlete. For some contenders, it is an extreme struggle to garner enough point due to limited shows in their home country. This makes it even more difficult for them to achieve the very goal that most bikini girls, if not all, want to achieve, which is making it to the Olympia.      On the occasion you fall in the first category, you are very lucky and you should not leave any opportunity unturned to achieve your goals. If not, this should not deter you from achieving your goals because as always, I got you. Jade McKee is a true example that hard work pays.    Jade McKee is an IFBB professional, a Posing Coach and a Physiotherapist. Jade kicked off her fitness journey in 2011 and competed in her first-ever bikini competition in 2012. Reaping the benefits of her hard work, Jade won overall Women's Bikini Fitness title at the Arnold Classic Australia in 2015. For the fitness enthusiast, this was her 17th show in six successive seasons in three years. Jade has competed in international shows such as the heavily contested Arnold Classic Europe where she took the fifth spot in her division. In the meantime, her plan is taking a one year break from the sport.        Today, in this episode, Jade shares with us her many attempts to stepping on stage after achieving her pro card and why it took her almost two years to do her pro debut. She will also share with us how she battled depression and the method she took to overcome this. Furthermore, we will also discuss her experiences of working with the well-known coach, Kim Oddo, and how the tactics she learned from him differed from using a registered dietitian. So much content we have in store to explore today.    So without further ado, let's get into it.        Takeaways Live life with no regrets Build your own enthusiasm  Don't just set goals, work toward achieving them Don't give up on your dreams  Always remember why you started in the first place If you really want to do it, it is possible Surround yourself with a supportive team  It takes time, but just keep working Be comfortable with how you look Do the best you can do and keep growing the best you can Don't put too much pressure on yourself Don't get knocked down when you get feedback from the judges that you might not feel is right Keep working, keep showing up   Important questions [00:06:05] How many years have you been competing? [00:06:13] When and where did you get your pro card? [00:11:16] How did you get started in competing?  [00:13:00] Going back to the depression that you were under, what did that stem from?  [00:13:32] How did you know you had a problem and when did you decide it was time to get treated? [00:16:15] What is bodybuilding like in Australia? [00:17:55] How long did it take for you to do your pro debut? [00:24:12] Exactly what thoughts were going in your mind when you fell pregnant while trying to go for your pro debut? [00:25:24] What kind of tips would you give to someone going through the same struggle of contemplating whether or not that they can go back to the stage after taking time off? [00:26:44] What did you do during your pregnancy to stay healthy?  [00:33:25] How do you plan your shows? [00:35:09] Do you foresee a lot of international girls being at the Olympia this year?  [00:37:17] Why did you end up switching coaches going into this year, and how has that benefited you? [00:40:37] What are some of the nutrition timing techniques that your new coach taught you that you didn't know before? [00:45:57] How is the offseason transitioning like?  [00:48:51] What would you say are your goals for this year event? [00:54:30] What was it like competing in your hometown?  [00:57:25] What piece of advice would you give to someone wanting to become a professional in the sport?   FOLLOW ME, Na'iyma Thompson @Naiymafit Naiymafit.com   Join TEAM BOSS BODIES use code: bikinidiaries for 15% off your package  Follow Jade Instagram: @jade_mckee Facebook: jademckeeathlete  

How I Gained 30 Pounds In 6 Days Post Show For you to perform optimally, you have to prepare adequately. Well, it goes without saying that the lack of adequate prepping is the best recipe for failure. Don’t get me wrong. Prepping for a competition can be a huge challenge. But with the right mindset, the right support, and putting in the work, it can only get easier.  I need to mention that preparation applies to both pre and post-shows. While you may prepare well for the show – and actually perform well - post-shows might be a total miss for you if you overlook the importance of planning for post-show celebrations especially. This may cause you to crumble even after victoriously scooping the pool. It is from this context that you should also focus and think beyond the night of the show. So, how do you prep adequately? Let’s learn some tips from Tamara.  Tamara Haddad is an IFBB Bikini Pro and she has been competing for the last 9 years.   Spreading her excellence to upcoming athletes, Tamara is currently a Lifestyle Training & Nutrition Coach as well as Posing Technique & Stage Presentation Coach. Besides competing in various Bikini platforms, Tamara is recognized for pulling it off at the Olympia twice and the Arnolds. Tamara is publicly announcing for the first time on Bikini Diaries that the time has come for her to hang up the boots.  In this episode, Tamara teaches us her tips and tricks on how she actually helps her clients deal with the hardest parts about prepping. She will also share her experiences with bingeing and how she gained 30 pounds in one week after a show. After listening to this episode, you will definitely be able to relate to Tamara as she talks about how her relationship with God evolved during her prepping experience.  Stay tuned!    Takeaways Be disciplined and confident  Keep going strong when you can Push yourself and challenge yourself  Do everything that you need to do to stay balanced Where you grow it's where you develop your discipline and your spirituality  Have the proper mindset Be positive with yourself  The biggest reason anyone gives up is that their “why” is not strong enough Everyone is different and unique; it's not the same for everybody   Have integrity and be loyal to the process You won’t feel 100% confident on stage if you didn't do everything that you were supposed to do When you're your best then you are a winner Everything is possible within your hands All your decisions matter Do your homework and hire the right coach You have to have the right leader leading you   Important questions [00:06:48] How many years have you been competing? [00:12:51] What kept you motivated and what continues to keep you motivated now? [00:23:40] Exactly why did you continue to compete after you started? [00:26:53] Why do you think that competing often leads into solitude? [00:35:10] What do you think is the biggest reason people actually fail at competing? [00:38:32] In your experience as a coach, what has been the most effective methods to help your clients make this a lifestyle?  [00:41:13] How do you help clients who go through binge? [00:48:18] What's the difference between binge and overeating? [00:53:41] How do you prepare your clients for the stage exactly? [00:57:42] What do you think sets apart the girls that have been to the Olympia versus just the pros? [01:03:04] What was your "why" in the sport? [01:04:44] What made you want to retire? [01:14:58] What advice would you give to someone wanting to become an IFBB Bikini professional in the sport?   Grab your Bikini Diarie's Honorary Tee to support the podcast https://naiymafit.com/shop/ Use code: bikinidiaries for 20%off    FOLLOW ME, Na'iyma Thompson @Naiymafit Naiymafit.com Join TEAM BOSS BODIES use code: bikinidiaries for 15% off your package  Connect With Tamara: Instagram: @tamarahaddad7 Email: tamarahaddad777@yahoo.com Website: Tamara-jordan.com
