Leading by example OBGYN Dr. Kyrin Dunston lost a life-changing 100 lbs. and healed herself from chronic disease by addressing the root causes of her overweight and dysfunction.  This personal transformation in turn caused a professional one and she left OBGYN practice in 2011 to pursue helping women heal with this revolutionary type of natural medicine after becoming fellowship trained in Anti-Aging, Metabolic and Functional Medicine.

Dr. Kyrin’s book “Cracking the Bikini Code:  6 Secrets to Permanent Weight Loss Success” brought her in office natural weight and health restoration program to women everywhere.  The virtual boot camp program based on the book launched shortly after and offers hands on guidance by Dr. Kyrin from remote locations so that women can use these tools to heal and move towards brilliant health.

• How Dr. Kyrin’s family history with medicine and science along with her personal interest in science and how the body works led her to a medical career
• Kyrin’s own declining health led her to look beyond what she learned in medical school to focusing on natural medicine
• Looking at difference between what Doctors are taught in medical school on how to treat issues related to the menstrual cycle and how Dr. Kyrin treats patients knowing what she knows now
• The importance of becoming the CEO of your own health, and educating and investigating yourself on your body, in order to know when something is wrong
• The common belief that we should look outside of ourselves for answers and go straight to a medical professional is not always the right solution
• In over for a double blind placebo control trial to be a proper trial, you need to blind the participant and blind the doctor administering the drug
• The power of our minds is so strong, we can change outcomes based on observations- what a doctor believes about their patients and what the patient believes about the treatments, causes an outcome and if we believe it will be beneficial it will be beneficial and if we believe it wont work it wont work
• The understanding of beliefs are thoughts that you've thought about 1,000 times that have become unconscious and a drive of your behavior
