Fertility Friday Radio | Fertility Awareness for Pregnancy and Hormone-free birth control

05/29/20 • 85 min

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.

As the host of Her Brilliant Health Radio Podcast she offers interviews with inspiring and insightful experts in Functional Medicine for women desiring to heal and achieve optimum health naturally.

Today's episode is sponsored by my upcoming FREE Masterclass: Introduction to Fertility Awareness Charting. I'll be teaching LIVE on Friday June 5th at 12PM ET. Click here to register now!

Topics discussed in today's episode:

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

06/12/20 • 78 min

He isn’t a doctor or a woman, but he is passionate about exposing the very real dangers of hormonal birth control. Mike Gaskins is a media writer/producer who began his journey as a women’s health advocate after a world-renowned physician lied to him about birth control side effects. This chance encounter triggered a passion for research that led Mike to discover many shocking levels of deceit and misinformation surrounding these potent drugs.

He recently collaborated with a group of leading physicians and women’s health advocates on a citizen’s petition to the FDA asking for new and stronger black box warnings on all hormonal contraceptives.

He frequently writes for websites like Hormones Matter and Natural Womanhood, and his new book, In the Name of The Pill explores the dubious nature of both the history and science of hormonal birth control.

In today’s episode we talk about hormonal birth control. We get into the history, the safety, and the controversy. Definitely an episode you won’t want to miss!
