163. Kyrin Dunston MD - Unlocking The Brilliant Health We Deserve

From an external view, someone can have a “perfect life.” Picket fence, happy family, but deep inside, they can be suffering and in great chronic pain. Our incredible guest today shares her life as a doctor of medicine who felt she wasn’t being honest to herself or her patients. Joining us, we have Kyrin Dunston MD. Sharing her story with Lance, Kyrin expresses how she always felt she was meant to be a doctor. Lance and Kyrin unpack the journey of her views on medicine shifting from what she was taught traditionally, such as the history of medicine, misconceptions about cancer, and how making small nutritional changes can benefit you. Listen until the end to hear her views on toxic mindsets and becoming more open to alternative medicines.

About the Podcast

University of Adversity
Real stories and tools to help you grow through adversity, burnout, and reinvention.
University of Adversity is a show about the moments that change us — especially the ones we didn’t ask for.

I’m Lance Essihos, and I sit down with athletes, bestselling authors, doctors, entrepreneurs, spiritual teachers, and everyday warriors to have real conversations about adversity — the kind that strips away the surface and forces us to face who we really are.

We go deep into the mindset shifts, emotional breakthroughs, and practical tools that helped them rebuild. Not just to survive, but to come back stronger, clearer, and more aligned.

This isn’t motivation.
It’s what happens after the breakdown, when you’re trying to put the pieces back together and make it mean something.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, burnout, or reinvention — this show is here to walk with you.

We don’t just talk about getting through the hard times.
We talk about who you become because of them.

Lance Essihos

As an experienced veteran with adversity, Lance has faced some of life's most difficult challenges. Grinding his way through the hockey ranks to traveling the world as a bartender. Through his personal battle with drugs and alcohol for well over a decade, the tragic loss of his brother to suicide followed by the great loss of his father to cancer only a year later, Lance realized he had hit rock bottom. In the darkest of days, he made a promise to himself that he would create a new life, one that would make an impact and inspire the masses, leaving the world in a better place than he found it. Lance has made it his mission to facilitate the message of positive change through adversity and encourage people to see the light through the darkness of life's worst moments.
