Key Takeaways:
- Hormones really can derail our entire body.
What’s going on?
- A little bit about Dr. Kyrin.
- The mid-life weight challenges are a
communication problem.
- Dr. Kyrin was 47 years old and had gained so
much weight that she weighed 243lb.
- Dr. Kyrin was falling apart, but what really
bothered her the most was the weight. Everyone could see
that.
- All of Dr. Kyrin’s tests were coming back
normal. This didn’t make any sense!
- Dr. Kyrin was counting her calories, she was
doing everything she was supposed to! Her doctor had enough with
her excuses.
- A patient of hers, another woman experiencing
the midlife blues, came back a year later a completely different
woman. Through her, Dr. Kyrin found out she got her hormones
tested.
- Dr. Kyrin read the book her patient was
reading. At first, she was skeptical and didn’t even want to read
it, but when she learned about functional medicine, she had a big
aha moment.
- After reading this book, Dr. Kyrin finally had
hope.
- If you're having a hormone problem, that means
the body is sending the wrong communication signals. No amount of
counting calories will help you!
- Weight and energy levels go hand in
hand.
- What tests should you be doing?
- People think having a healthy juice or smoothie
is good for you. It is, but it depends on what you put in it. Some
smoothie places put more sugar into it than what’s in a soft
drink.
- If you don’t have key hormones in your body,
your risk of dementia goes up! Along with many other
diseases!
- Dr. Kyrin shares how she uses a functional
approach in her practice.
- Everyone wants a solution, but mainstream
doctors are just going to prescribe you medicine that will shut
down your immune system.
- Get your hormones rechecked once a
year.
- Be the CEO of your health because no one else
can do it for you.
- Dr. Kyrin is so passionate about working with
women because she has seen that if you help one woman, she helps
her entire community.
Episode Summary:
Dr. Kyrin Dunston couldn’t
figure out what was wrong with her. She thought feeling this way
was “normal.” Even her doctors thought she was just making excuses
for being overweight. Turns out, no, she was just doing the wrong
tests. If you’re a woman in her late 40s, this episode is for you!
You need to go beyond the regular tests to really discover what’s
going on underneath the hood. You might find that your hormones are
sending a completely wrong message to your body!
Guest Bio:
With a successful career in the
medical field, from the outside, Dr. Kyrin Dunston looked like she
had it all. But on the inside, she was dying. Any spare hour she
had was spent sleeping. She was tired, overweight, and her hair was
falling out. She was depressed, anxious, and lacked
self-confidence. She had stomach issues and low libido, and no
matter what she did, all her tests came back “normal.” What was
going on? Through functional medicine, Dr. Kyrin was able to regain
her life back, bit by bit, and now applies the same principles to
help her mid-life clients.

Quotes:
“I said I’m not reading this
book! I’m a board-certified OB-GYN, what is this author going to
teach me? I had this arrogance, what I call contempt, prior to
investigation.”
“We all have this ‘truth
leader.’ I read this book about functional medicine and I knew it
was the truth. How am I an OB-GYN and never even heard about
this?”
“Truth is, most doctors in
America do the wrong tests and they read them for what’s ‘normal’
which is different from what’s ‘optimal.’”
