About Us

KYRIN DUNSTON, MD, FACOG

Kyrin Dunston, MD, FACOG is Board Certified and specializes in functional medicine, natural weight loss and bio-identical hormone restoration.  Born and raised in Manhattan, Dr. Dunston received her undergraduate degree in Psychology at Bryn Mawr College in Bryn Mawr, PA.  She received her medical degree from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, PA in 1992.  Dr. Dunston completed her residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Medical Center of Delaware in 1996 and then moved to Savannah, GA where she practiced Obstetrics & Gynecology for 15 years.

In 2008 Dr. Dunston became aware that most of what main stream medicine offered to patients, including drugs and surgery, did not actually fix the cause of the problem, it just masked the symptoms.  She discovered that special testing not commonly available to most people successfully located the cause of health symptoms and diseases, and that natural remedies were effective in ameliorating not only the symptoms of disease but also the diseases themselves.  She discovered the reason she had gone into medicine in the first place.

After successfully curing her own medical conditions and symptoms she began integrating these treatments into her practice with tremendous results.  In July of 2011 Dr. Dunston retired from the practice of Obstetrics & Gynecology to pursue her passion for functional medicine and truly helping people to achieve optimum health on a full time basis at her new practice, True Balance MD.

Dr. Dunston is a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and is currently in their fellowship training program for anti-aging, regenerative and functional medicine. She is currently enrolled in the University of South Florida School of Medicine Master's Program in Medical Sciences with a Concentration in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine. 

Dr. Dunston is also a member of the American College for Advancement in Medicine and the Institute of Functional Medicine.
