Dr. D. Lindsey Berkson

Berkson is a thought leader in functional medicine, with an emphasis on hormones, nutrition, digestion, and intimacy and a doc who walks her talk. For years she was ill with cancers and serious health issues. While writing one of the first breakthrough books on endocrine disruption (Hormone Deception, McGraw-Hill) she discovered she was a victim of the very phenomena she was explaining to the public. Once she knew why and what was wrong she could then formulate her own medication to successfully stop the tumor madness. Thus, Berkson not only connects-the-dots of science but offers "hope." Once you find the root cause of the illness, an informed practitioner can usually create natural effective answers. Berkson was a hormone scholar at a world-renowned estrogen think tank at Tulane University (The Center for Bioenvironmental Research).

She has taught re-licensing seminars to professionals (MDs, pharmacists, chiropractors, NDs, acupuncturists, nutritionists) and formulated the first female nutraceutical line for physicians in the U.S. (Metagenics FEM LINE). She and Dr. J.V. Wright hold a patent on bioidentical hormones and she holds another collaborative patent on a drug for dialysis and diabetic patients.

Berkson hosts the Dr. Berkson’s Best Health Radio Show. She has collaborated and published research on dialysis and nutrition with The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. She is a fellow of the prestigious research institute, the Health Science Collegium. Berkson consults with people and physicians internationally and specializes in complex cases. She pioneered the concept of green pregnancies and the unappreciated role of hormones and the gut.
