Welcome to The Hormone Prosperity Podcast with Dr. Kyrin Dunston, your guide to moving from hormonal poverty to hormonal prosperity. This episode dives into the often-overlooked struggles of midlife women navigating the turbulent waters of hormonal imbalances and metabolic mayhem—and the surprising connection between sarcasm and hopelessness.

Dr. Kyrin starts by unpacking sarcasm’s deeper meaning (did you know the word literally means “to tear the flesh”?). Sarcasm can be a subtle weapon women use against themselves when they feel powerless or unheard, especially when dealing with frustrating symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and mood swings. Using this as a lens, Dr. Kyrin addresses a real question from a listener, Jenny, who sarcastically lists her midlife symptoms and wonders whether estrogen cream will fix them. Dr. Kyrin’s answer? No—and here’s why.

This episode challenges the reductionist “symptom-fixed-by-one-thing” approach to health. Dr. Kyrin explains why a holistic, multifactorial approach to hormonal health is the ultimate key to achieving vitality, balance, and freedom. She also shares her personal transformation from morbid obesity and chronic fatigue to thriving hormonal prosperity, offering so much hope for women who feel stuck, broken, or frustrated with conventional medicine.

If you’ve been accepting hormonal poverty as your fate, this episode will inspire you to reclaim your birthright to hormonal prosperity. Stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and start asking, “What would hormonal prosperity do?” (WWHPD). Tune in now for actionable tips, candid insights, and an invitation to design the thriving health story you deserve.
