Ever wonder why some women seem to handle the challenges of menopause and aging with grace, while others struggle with symptoms that often go untreated? Dr. Kyrin Dunston herself struggled with that. As a traditionally trained OBGYN, she transitioned to alternative medicine to conquer her personal health crisis. She then dared to question the approach to women's health, especially as it relates to hormonal imbalances and midlife metabolic mayhem.Dr. Kyrin discussed how symptoms like weight gain, memory problems, and autoimmune disorders are frequently misunderstood, midlife metabolic chaos is caused by hormonal imbalances, and the dire effects of not replacing hormones. She wants women to understand these effects and how hormone replacement therapy can change one’s quality of life. This proves that patient care can go beyond merely controlling symptoms. Dr. Kyrin Dunston, as an advocate of women's health, does exactly that.Quick Guide0:35 Exploring Alternative Approaches to Women's Health11:42 Midlife Metabolic Mayhem and Hormonal Imbalance28:05 Menopause, Hormonal Replacement, and Metabolic Health35:36 Hormonal Poverty44:19 Testing, Investing, and Your Health55:41 Challenges in Hormonal HealthcareGet to know our guestDr. Kyrin Dunston is a traditionally trained OBGYN with a fellowship training in anti-aging, metabolic, and functional medicine.

They are investments in your most valuable asset, which is your human home, which is your body. Stop asking does your health insurance cover it? And start asking how can I invest in my most, most valuable asset to the best of my ability, for it to give me the best returns for the longest vitality span and life, to live the highest quality of life?” - Dr. Kyrin DunstonConnect with herInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kyrindunstonmd Website: www.kyrindunstonmd.comEpisode snippets23:32 - 24:19 - One chemical change between hormones is powerful32:21 - 34:20 - The hormone replacement therapy39:19 - 39:59 - Know the underlying cause45:01 - 46:34 - Don’t rely on insurance to receive Chances are, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast if you didn't need to change your life and get healthier.
