WHY YOU'RE HERE..

You’re a smart, successful woman who seems to have her life together, but there’s one thing you keep struggling with; your health...

You can’t seem to lose the weight or get in the shape that you want to... you’ve failed all the diet & exercise programs and you blame yourself...

You’re tired and it’s a struggle to get through the day sometimes... caffeine to wake you up and wine to calm you down have become your best friends...

Then you can’t fall asleep or you wake up for no reason and toss and turn all night only to do it all again the next day...

You’re irritable and snap at people...sometimes even anxious or depressed for no apparent reason...your doctor gave you medication but you you just don’t feel like yourself...

And the intimacy with your partner has become a distant memory that you’ve given up on and it’s the elephant in the room that no one’s talking about...you’ve been told “that’s normal for your age”...

Your focus and memory are lagging and you’re finding it harder and harder to complete things on your endless To-Do List...you’ve lost your edge...you’ve lost your joy in life

​So you keep asking yourself...

“Why am I suffering like this?”

And it leads you down the never-ending rabbit hole of...

"Why can’t I just lose the weight? Then everything will be OK."

"I can’t wait until retirement, then I’ll have the time to get my health right"...

"Why can’t I find the right diet, supplement, exercise program or doctor to fix me?"

You see other women thriving at midlife, full of brilliance, energy & joy...

and eventually you wonder...

“What’s wrong with me?”

It’s the ONE piece of the puzzle you can’t figure out.

And without realizing it, life is passing you by.

Whether you’ve tried talking to your doctor and been dismissed, taken fistfuls of prescription medications, searched on Google, summits & podcasts to find the answers...or turned to your friends for help, it’s led you to failure and helplessness to ever be your best self again.

Furthermore, you’re tired. Tired of being the one who has to figure it all out by herself. You know that doctors are supposed to have all the health answers you need but you’ve been dismissed and told these things are normal for your age and given no answers as to why you feel this way and no solutions for how to change your health and your life.

You’ve given up on your dreams for being the Mom you always wanted to be, the partner you long to be, going back to school, starting that business, checking off your bucket list travel adventures, having the fulfilling relationships that you crave and living your life full out. Not to mention worried you may never regain the excellent health that you once enjoyed and dream of having again.

YOU HAVE THIS GREAT LIFE THAT YOU’VE WORKED VERY HARD FOR, BUT NOW BECAUSE OF YOUR HEALTH YOU’RE NOT ENJOYING IT

You’ve gone to traditional doctors, acupuncturists and even naturopaths, health coaches and trainers to uncover the cause of your health problems. You’ve paid for expensive tests and not been given clear understanding or a path forward through your difficulties.

You’ve tried every eating program including keto, paleo, vegetarian or even vegan and carnivore. You’ve cut out gluten and other foods you heard could be the problem but to no avail. You’ve even given up and tried to find ‘peace’ by going back to your HMO doctor...but no matter how hard you try, you know that a life without great health is not the life you’re meant to live.

Dr. Kyrin Dunston | Sleepless in Midlife? The Hidden Dangers of Hormonal Poverty Explained

Dr. Kyrin Dunston | Sleepless in Midlife? The Hidden Dangers of Hormonal Poverty Explained

January 23, 20257 min read

Have you been tossing and turning at night, watching the clock tick forward, and dreading another day of fatigue? If you’re a woman over 40, you’re not alone. Sleep disturbances are one of the 60+ symptoms of midlife metabolic mayhem caused by what Dr. Kyrin calls “hormonal poverty.” But here’s the tricky part—you may not even realize you’re in it.

On this episode of the Hormone Prosperity Podcdast, your hormone prosperity coach, Dr. Kyrin, dives deep into the hidden dangers of hormonal poverty and why addressing only your sex hormones might not be enough to fix that elusive good night’s sleep.

 

Episode Highlights

  1. Beyond Sex Hormones

Did you know hormonal poverty isn’t just about estrogen and progesterone? Dr. Kyrin explains how neglected hormones like insulin, cortisol, thyroid, and even oxytocin play a vital role in achieving restorative sleep. Spoiler alert—it’s all connected!

  1. Sleep & Hormonal Poverty

Hear Claudia’s story—a listener who takes an estrogen patch, progesterone, and magnesium, yet still only manages five hours of sleep each night. Frustrated, she sent in a question that many of us can relate to, and Dr. Kyrin uncovers why more holistic hormonal support is often the missing piece.

  1. The Importance of Multifactorial Solutions

Hormonal poverty often stems from multiple systems in your body being out of sync—digestive health, toxicity levels, and even mitochondrial function can all impact your sleep. Dr. Kyrin offers practical advice to balance these areas and foster what she calls hormonal prosperity.

  1. Mindset Shift

Say goodbye to disempowering questions like, “What’s wrong with me?” Instead, start asking empowering ones like, “What would hormonal prosperity do?” (#WWHPD) Dr. Kyrin inspires listeners to reframe their approach to midlife health and take control.

Podcast Episode Transcript

Dr. Kyrin Dunston (00:00):

This is the danger zone when you don't know that you're in hormonal poverty because you are going to suffer the consequences of being in hormonal poverty even though you don't know it. Greetings friend. Welcome to the Hormone Prosperity Podcast with me, the hormone prosperity coach, Dr. Kyrin. Here's where intelligent women over 40 go to get credible guidance and inspiration on getting out of hormonal poverty and into hormonal prosperity and the joy and vitality that brings. Go from asking disempowering questions like, what's wrong with me? To asking empowering questions like, what would hormonal prosperity do? Hashtag ww HPD. Join me as we dive into today's episode and get started on your journey off the couch, into your genes and back into life, because bliss is your birthright and a healthy body filled with hormonal prosperity is the vehicle that gets you there. Welcome. Let's get started.

Dr. Kyrin Dunston (01:04):

Great question about sleep, Claudia. How many of you are having problems sleeping over 40? Or maybe you're younger than 40? It's one of the most common problems or symptoms of midlife, metabolic mayhem, the 60 plus symptoms caused by hormonal poverty, and you are already on hormone, so you're addressing one part of your hormonal poverty problem. But what I would say to you, so Claudia wrote in saying that she was on a, an estrogen patch and taking high doses of progesterone orally and magnesium glycinate, but she still could only sleep for five hours. She said her hot flashes were better and other symptoms of menopause perimenopause, but that she could only get five hours of sleep. And it was driving her insane. She said, this is BS and maybe this is you too. And what I want to alert you to, if this is you, if you're having sleep problems that remain untreated because you're in hormonal poverty or you're on hormonal placement therapy, maybe taking magnesium or other sleep aids, and you're still not sleeping well, what you need to understand is that hormonal poverty is not only about sex hormones, that's number one.

Dr. Kyrin Dunston (02:24):

So if you're on an estrogen patch, you're on an estrogen pill, you're addressing your progesterone because that's neglected by most mainstream doctors. They say you don't need it, but that's not true. It's a whole other topic. She's actually on progesterone and probably some of you can relate to that. You're using estrogen and progesterone and maybe other sleep age, and you still can't get good solid, deep restorative sleep. So hormonal poverty is not only about sex hormones and if you only address your sex hormones and not women reach out to me all the time who are getting their sex hormones addressed and still are in hormonal poverty and they don't know it, this is the danger zone when you don't know that you're in hormonal poverty because you are going to suffer the consequences of being in hormonal poverty even though you don't know it. So there are other hormones, right?

Dr. Kyrin Dunston (03:22):

Insulin, thyroid, cortisol, DAGA, oxytocin, so many other hormones, growth hormone. There are actually hundreds of hormones, and most women at midlife and beyond are in hormonal poverty with all of their hormones. So this is why you're not experiencing deep, prolonged restorative, continuous sleep that nourishes your health, your body, your mind, your soul, your spirit. So number one, it's not only about sex hormones and what happens is like the woman who reached out you know, it sounds like she's been working with her doctor and she's just not getting the results. So you need to get out of her hormonal poverty and you need to understand all the hormones that go into that, all the factors. There could be a toxicity problem, a gastrointestinal problem contributing to that, a mitochondrial problem. So all the systems in your body fund this hormonal prosperity that allows you to sleep.

Dr. Kyrin Dunston (04:34):

Sleep is one of the multifactorial activities of your body. It takes lots of healthy inputs into your body to give you healthy sleep, but many of them are hormonal. And so when your sleep is disrupted, that is a sign you're in hormonal poverty. Even if you're addressing the sex hormones, you've gotta address the other hormones. So if you think this could be you, I invite you to take my quiz on. Could it be hormonal poverty? It's free. You can follow the instructions below, just type quiz if it's, if there's a comment section or DM me quiz, and we'll send you a link to take the quiz. It takes probably 60, 120 seconds, and that'll give you a good idea. And if you wanna go deeper, join me for my Hormone Bliss challenge because I will take you through the exact steps that I use to get out of hormonal poverty and that I've helped thousands of other women use to also identify and get out of hormonal poverty. Hopefully this helps answer your question. It was a great question. Sleep is a huge problem for women over 40, so if this is you, invite you to join me. Thanks so much for joining me. I'll see you next time. Until then, peace, love, and hormones. Y'all,

Success Stories 

HERE'S WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY:

"Dr. Kyrin is passionate about helping women find their whole health and makes herself available to making that happen. She brings a personal experience, which makes her so relatable. Her expertise and care turned my health around."

-Jenny S.

"I didn't have to explain much about what I was going through. She understood. She knew exactly what was wrong with me. I was taken care of. I feel EMPOWERED. I feel really, really good. I didn't believe until I worked with her how much different my life could be."

-Maria D.

"My experience with Dr. Kyrin has been five-star. She opened my eyes to a new way of thinking and small, but significant, changes made a big difference in my health. She lives what she teaches -- which I find impressive. #thrilled."

-Alice C.

"I have hope now. My hot flashes are a lot less & night sweats, barely there anymore. It works, it really works. This program helps you get through everything you need to, to get to the answers, and to feel better. I got my life back. It's been a great program."

-Kim V.

"She is the real deal. she's going to educate you. She hits all the things. She builds community; she tells you about when she was just like us. And you get to learn from a group of other women who are going through what you're going through. I 100% recommend working with Dr. Kyrin."

-Felicia

"It is definitely worth the investment. The amount she charges, it does not really cover the value. How much would you pay for vibrant health? This is a fraction of that. It's really time for you to make the choice to invest in yourself. No one else can do it, but you, so why not now?"

-Ericka

"I really enjoyed the fact that she is online, the variety of learning experiences, videos, group meetings, one-on-one meetings, Facebook community. There's lots of support to help you learn, to take control of your health, ask questions and make informed choices. I would encourage everyone to work with Dr. Kyrin and become an active participant in your health."

-Caryn B.

"Prior to the class, I was suffering from poor sleep, mild depression, complete isolation. The feeling of camaraderie among the other women who are suffering the same as you just was amazing. I feel closer to them than to some of my friends. I've definitely got increased energy. I know it seems a little overwhelming and hard to take that plunge, but trust me..it's going to be cheaper in the long run than your disease management...You won't regret it."

-Amy G.

"Dr. Dunston is fabulous. Unlike others, she spent a great deal of time with me, listened to me, and sincerely wanted to help me feel better. She is very knowledgeable about women's health, hormone-replacement therapy and is open to alternative treatments. I love Dr. Kyrin."

-Spring P.
