Kyrin Dunston, MD, FACOG, FAAFM

Kyrin Dunston, MD, FACOG, FAAFM is Board Certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology and Fellowship Trained in Anti-Aging, Functional & Metabolic Medicine by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. She is also a trained Shamanic Practitioner in the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of Cross-Cultural Shamanic Arts, an Associate Instructor of the Universal Healing Tao—a lineage founded by Master Mantak Chia that integrates Taoist internal alchemy for health and vitality—and is certified in both Chi Nei Tsang and Karsai Nei Tsang, advanced Taoist abdominal and pelvic detoxification massage systems used to clear bioenergetic stagnation, restore flow, and promote deep bioenergetic vitality.

Dr. Dunston has dedicated her career to advancing metabolic, hormonal, and bioenergetic health for women at midlife. As the founder and medical director of Her Hormone Club and the Midlife Metabolism Institute, she leads innovative digital programs and on-site retreats that help women reverse weight gain, fatigue, and other symptoms and dysfunctions associated with hormonal decline, metabolic dysregulation, and insulin resistance.

After practicing conventional OB/GYN for over a decade, Dr. Dunston faced her own health crisis—struggling with midlife weight gain, exhaustion, mood changes, and other symptoms of what she calls Midlife Metabolic Mayhem caused by hormonal poverty. Conventional medicine offered no effective solutions. Discovering the root-cause resolution approach of metabolic, functional, and bioenergetic medicine led her to lose 100 pounds, eliminate chronic health issues, and reclaim her vitality. That transformation sparked her clinical mission: helping other women rise from hormonal poverty into what she calls hormonal prosperity throughout the lifespan.

Dr. Dunston is widely recognized for her expertise in menopause, metabolic health, and weight management, integrating energetic healing as part of a truly holistic model. She is a sought-after speaker and educator who has been featured on TEDx, NBC, CBS, and Reader’s Digest, among others. She hosts the Hormone Prosperity Podcast and YouTube channel and leads the Midlife Metabolism Mastery program, offering education, coaching, and care rooted in clinical science, energy medicine, and lived experience to women across the U.S.

In her presentation at the 2025 A4M Women’s Health Summit, “Metabolic Health in Menopause: Weight Management & Insulin Sensitivity,” Dr. Dunston will explore the physiological drivers of midlife weight gain—including estrogen loss, decreased metabolic rate, insulin resistance, and bioenergetic stagnation—and present personalized, evidence-based strategies to restore metabolic balance through root-cause resolution: lifestyle interventions, targeted supplementation, individualized hormone therapy, and restoration of bioenergetic balance.
