All About Hashimoto's With Guillermo Ruiz - Ep. 031
Welcome to Episode 031 of The Tiny Fit Diva Podcast, featuring your host Kylene Terhune. Today Kylene welcomes guest Guillermo Ruiz to teach us how to reverse the symptoms of Hashimoto’s Disease and live a healthy life, even with an autoimmunity.
Hashimoto’s Disease is an autoimmune disorder where your immune system attacks your thyroid. Once your body has shown that it has the ability to attack itself, it will always have that ability. While there may not be a cure for Hashimoto’s there are many ways to support your body and reverse some of the symptoms you’re facing.
Of course, nutrition is going to be really high up on that list of treatment plans. Listen in for specific guidelines to follow, and more importantly, a mindset to adopt when caring for yourself long term. Learn how to avoid orthorexia, a compulsion to obsess over healthy eating, and simply make a habit out of eating nutrient-rich foods.

Your Fitness Prescription With Igor Klibanov - Ep. 029
Welcome to the Tiny Fit Diva Podcast Episode 29! Your favorite FDNP Kylene Terhune introduces a wonderful guest today who can teach you how to discover your personalized exercise plan. Meet Igor Klibanov who is a successful personal trainer and author of the book “Stop Exercising the Way You’re Doing it Now.”
Diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis and osteoporosis are chronic conditions that each tell us something about the way your body can gain the optimal benefits from exercise. This exercise prescription is called: FITT. Igor looks at: frequency, intensity, time, and type.
We need both strength training and cardio. Do you ever wonder, “What’s the right number of reps for me?” or, when doing cardio, “What kind of intervals are right for me?” Igor and Kylene discuss the best exercise plans for people with various chronic conditions.
We can also look at conditions like anxiety and depression. High intensity work outs make anxiety worse
and makes depression better. That’s good to know!
The bottom line is that, if you do it right exercise will physically and neurologically stimulate you in a way that is healing you and healthy for your body.
When you go home from the gym, remember the 1:23 Rule. Make sure your lifestyle supports what you do in the gym as opposed to sabotaging it.
Let’s look at hormones for cycling women:
In the Follicular phase (days 1-14) estrogen is higher. You’re stronger and you can work out with a little more intensity.
In the Luteal phase (days 15-28) progesterone is higher. This means that metabolism is higher, but keep in mind that cravings are also a little stronger. The last week of the cycle is when you may see PMS symptoms like cramps and mood changes. Exercise injury rates are higher now because elastin is released which looses ligaments. Don’t do intensive work outs or heavy weight training now; just cardio and light strength training.
Here’s where things can be uniquely tailored to your body. You have a biological signature and where you store your body fat tells us about your hormone profile. For example here are a few locations on the body and their corresponding hormones:
Triceps - testosterone
Upper back and love handles - insulin
Ribs - thyroid
Stomach - cortisol
Knee and calf - growth hormone
Quads, hamstrings, (essentially thighs) - estrogen
When working with clients, Igor finds out which three areas of the body are relatively higher in fat than other areas of your body. That’s how Igor can use your biological signature to design your personalized exercise plan.
Here’s an example of another interesting way your biological signature informs your optimal health. You can measure the fat between your shoulder blades to see how many carbohydrates you can tolerate.The more fat you have there, the fewer carbs you can tolerate. The less fat your have there the more carbs you can tolerate.
That leads us to the big question: Is spot fat reduction possible? Yes it is! Listen in to learn how to tailor your exercise routine to target fat on the areas of your body that need it the most!

Stephanie Llacuna on Toxin-Free Living - Ep. 025
Welcome to The Tiny Fit Diva Podcast Episode 25 where your host Kylene Terhune is introducing us to another amazing guest to talk about healthy living! This week we’re focusing on toxin-free living. There are some things that we cannot control about our environments, but for the things we can control, like food and skincare products, we should try to limit our exposure to harmful chemicals. We want to be smart about this, though and not just fall for clever marketing campaigns.
Green washing is when a label tries to represent a food or a cleaning product as more healthy than it really is. If the terms “clean” or “organic” are used on a label, we may assume it’s toxin free, but it if you look at the ingredients you’ll see pernicious things.
Here are some tips to detox your environment:
The priority needs to be switching to an aluminum-free deodorant. Be patient as you find one that works with your body chemistry. Next, find a Flouride-free toothpaste.
Watch out for weed killer. Vinegar is great and there are some great baking soda alternatives, too.
For inside cleaning there is a cleaning version of vinegar that doesn’t smell as bad.
Watch out for sunscreen that contains Oxybenzone and Octinoxate. A good zinc-based sunscreen is better, and avoid the spray-on sunscreens that expose you to breathing in those fumes.
If a product label lists “fragrance” or “natural flavors,” beware, as this can be referring to a multitude of unlisted ingredients.
These days we may not have as much acute illness as people did two hundred years ago but we have a lot more chronic illness. Toxins assault us all day everyday so it’s no wonder. This is great information to try to protect ourselves.
Here are some tried and true recipes from Stephanie Llacuna:
Toxin-Free Weed Spray
1 Gallon Vinegar
2 Cups Epsom Salt
½ Cup (Toxin-free) Dish Soap
Armpit Detox/Care
- Bentonite Clay Armpit (or face) Mask
-1 TBSP Bentonite clay
-2 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar
-Water (enough to get the right consistency)
-Mix in a non-metal bowl with a non-metal utensil.
-Apply to armpits and let dry for 5-10 min. Wash off.
- Activated charcoal soap (any brand)-helps to pull-out toxins while transitioning to a toxin-free deodorant.
- For relief of itching/irritation/rashes caused by built-up toxins reacting with baking soda in natural deodorants, apply coconut oil and aloe vera as needed.

Estrogen and Your Liver - Ep. 024
Welcome to The Tiny Fit Diva Podcast Episode 024! Today Kylene’s episode is chock-full of helpful knowledge about how hormones work!
She’s teaching how your liver affects your hormones. We think of the liver as the detoxification organ. It flushes out heavy metals, toxins that you’re exposed to in the air (even hairspray), pesticides in your food, and even caffeine in your diet.
The liver also does this same cleansing with your hormones. The liver is where your hormone metabolism occurs. There, the hormones can be activated into other compounds or deactivated and excreted from the body.
Kylene’s hormone testing takes a very close look at the sex hormones. She works with clients all over the country to order the simple lab tests which can be done at any clinic. Then, she reads the results and carefully corrects any imbalances you have. Here’s the skinny on some of the levels she’s looking for:
Estradiol is the main estrogen produced by the ovaries in pre-menopausal women and the second primary estrogen in men.
Estrone is the main estrogen in post-menopausal women and the primary source of estrogen in men.
Estriol is the estrogen that takes priority when a women is pregnant because it is produced in large amounts by the placenta.
If you have a sluggish or over-burdened liver, estrogen can build up in the body and you could become estrogen dominant. You might be estrogen dominant if you have noticed fluid retention, low libido, difficult PMS, mood swings, sleep disturbances or weight gain.
To support the liver, we want to address gut health. Supplementation to support the liver is great, but it’s best to reduce inflammation from the diet right from the get-go. And, the biggest sources of inflammation for most people are gluten, processed dairy and refined sugar.
Here are a few more ways to support the liver:
Fiber helps bind chemicals and toxins to eliminate them from the system. Soluble and insoluble, alike. Now, you don’t need to eat whole grains to get fiber. In fact, please don’t eat whole grains. If you eat beans, vegetables, nuts and seeds you’re set on the fiber front.
White rice may actually be more healthy than brown rice because the brown rice still contains the hull and it tends to irritate the gut more in many people.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Seriously.
Reduce exposure to aluminum. Try out some natural deodorants until you find one that works for you. Kylene uses Primal Pit Paste.

Hormones, Cholesterol and Nutrients You Need! - Ep. 023
Welcome to The Tiny Fit Diva Podcast Episode 023! Today Kylene is teaching us all about the proper care and maintenance of your hormones. There are things that negatively affect hormones and there are nutrients that are beneficial for hormones, too. Let’s dive in!
Kylene is talking about progesterone, estrogen, testosterone and cortisol. These are your steroidal hormones and they are made from cholesterol.
You need cholesterol for hormone balance because it’s what your steroidal hormones are made out of. Low cholesterol diets of the past are not good for you. You may be skeptical if you’ve been told for years that cholesterol was bad. Research is now showing that the body creates its own cholesterol in much larger amounts than are contributed through diet. 85% of the cholesterol in the circulation system is produced by the liver. So, avoiding cholesterol in your foods won’t reduce the cholesterol levels in your blood very much. Go ahead and keep your egg yokes!
Things that negatively affect hormones are food sensitivities and gut flora issues. Food sensitivities and parasites alike can break through your gut lining, cause inflammation and ramping up your immune system. Read for yourself here:
https://kresserinstitute.com/gut-hormone-connection-gut-microbes-influence-estrogen-levels/
The nutrients you need for healthy hormones are: vitamin c, magnesium, selenium and zinc. Kylene gives us a few recommendations for healthy foods that will power our hormones. Just a few of them are strawberries, avocado, pumpkin seeds, sea weed, oysters, leafy greens, mushrooms, crab and beef liver supplements.

Many of these lessons where learned by hard experience, and they share their honest histories in each of their first marriages. “The best relationship is going to be when you have two solid individuals who know who they are who come together to support each other.”
1. Communication is key. You have to tell your partner what you like about them!
2. Respect is so important. If you have something you want to bring up with spouse, make sure you bring it up at a good time.
3. The quality of not being a “yeller” is a choice. If your spouse is angry choose not to meet them at their level of frustration.
4. Speak positively about your spouse. It’s quite unattractive to see someone complaining about their spouse to their friends.
Among the other pillars of good health including nutrition, exercise, sleep, mental health, etc., you’ll find that healthy relationships are a super-important factor in living a happy life. We hope these great marriage tips and stories help you in your relationships!

3 Diet Mentality Shifts - Ep. 017
Welcome to The Tiny Fit Diva Podcast Episode 017. We are so happy you’re with us today as Kylene makes a powerful case in the defense of real food! Eating is something that we do for our body that is good. Eating shouldn’t be something we feel guilty for. Your body needs real food and eating it should be a joy. Listen in to learn more!
There are so many different diet options available to you: high-fat diets, low-fat diets, vegetarianism, paleo, etc.
She’s said it before and she’ll say it again: there is no one-size-fits-all diet. Kylene believes in #youturition which means that it’s her goal to find the best food plan for you. Intuitively you know this too, because your body has its own unique food sensitivities, genetics and lifestyle.
Today Kylene presents 3 mentality shifts that will completely change the way you think about food.
- Eat real food. What is real food? It grew on a tree or in the ground. It was designed by God and nature, not a factory, to be broken down and digested. Read labels to find out if something is real.
- No macro nutrient is inherently bad. Macro nutrients are carbohydrates, fats and protein. Unless you are a body builder or athlete, counting macros is not necessary. (Side note: micro nutrients are all of the vitamins and minerals comprised in our food. ) Don’t vilify fat and carbohydrates. Your body desperately needs fat and carbohydrates. As long as you are eating real foods, you don’t need to obsess over portion control with fats and carbohydrates. Eating processed foods is what created the need for the concept of dieting as we know it, so if you cut that out of the equation you free yourself.
- Think about minimums, not maximums. There is an abundance of food you can and should be eating every day. Focus on what you can feed your body! Be sure your food serves you, not enslaves you!
Thanks for tuning in today and we'll be back next week!

How Stress Affects Your Health With Reed Davis - Ep. 016
Welcome to The Tiny Fit Diva Podcast Episode 016. Today Kylene Terhune proudly welcomes the Reed Davis who is the Founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. Over the course of 20 years he has developed a system of treating disease in the body and restoring the birthright of health and happiness. The best part about what FDNs do, though, is that it is actually practical! Tune in to learn more.
With a background in environmental law and a curiosity for the effects the environment has on people. Reed has become a strong force in the forefront of the world of health. He has a passion for helping people. He is a nutritional therapist who seeks clues to alleviate clients’ health complaints and he teaches others how to do it too!
Here’s how his Dress for Health success program works:
Diet
Rest
Exercise
Stress reduction
Supplementation
We talk in detail about implementing all of these lifestyle choices, but we dive deep into our discussion on stress reduction because it is the most underestimated pillar of health.
There are three types of stressors:
Mental/Emotional
Trauma
Chemical/Biochemical/Environment
Some of these stressors we can eliminated from our lives and others, in this modern world, we simply can’t. Here are tools Reed Davis and Kylene Terhune use to counter stress:
Live in gratitude. Choose positivity. Seek chiropractic care for alignment and for the nervous system. Try acupuncture to get your energy flowing. When you’re well enough, work out. Have good posture, balance and flexibility. On the biochemical side, diet is huge because eating foods that you’re sensitive to is a tremendous stressor.
Let’s talk about hormones. We know that cortisol breaks the body down and keeps your blood sugar elevated. That’s why DHEA, the master regulator to cortisol, is so vital. FDNs find healing opportunities more quickly, that doctors aren’t diagnosing. An FDN’s protocol addresses every cell, tissue, organ and system.
What an inspiring interview! Listen to the full episode to hear why no breakfast is better than a bad breakfast and how you can certify to become an FDN. Thanks for tuning in today and we'll be back next week!
