Why do so many women after 50 feel tired, gain weight, and lose strength even when they are doing everything right?
Is bone loss really just about aging, or is something deeper happening inside the body?
Could hidden hormonal and metabolic imbalances be driving your symptoms and affecting your bone health?
If you feel “off” at midlife and cannot quite explain why, this episode is for you.
In this conversation, we explore why bone loss after menopause is not just about aging or calcium deficiency, and why focusing only on bone density can miss the bigger picture.
Dr. Kyrin Dunston, board-certified OBGYN and functional medicine expert, shares how chronic fatigue, weight gain, hormone imbalance, and metabolic dysfunction led her to discover the power of root-cause medicine. In this episode, we explore how hormones, gut health, stress, and nervous system dysfunction can impact energy, aging, bone health, and osteoporosis risk in women over 50.
