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