Hormones

Program Description

In a culture that perceives aging as synonymous with fragility, this seminar offers a deep dive into the realm of hormonal health – a vital element in keeping patients resilient and extending longevity. Join Dr. Berkson as she dispels common misconceptions surrounding hormones, including myths about estrogen, and gain insight into science-based strategies that result in robust longevity.

Dr. Berkson’s recent and widely-discussed rebuttal regarding the misconceptions around estrogen, a discussion that has gained viral social media status. As a result, the debate has captured the attention of numerous OBGYN professionals who are eager to learn more.

Don’t miss this opportunity to unlock the secrets of hormones, and of living a longer and more vibrant life.

Objectives

• Learn estrogen’s vindication with the 19 year analysis of WHI.
• Learn about the not known 7 million NIH study: the largest study ever run on hormones by our own NIH and Medical Library of Congress.
• Identify hormonal signaling, receptor functionality and diverse receptors and functions such as estrogen receptor alpha (the bad estrogen dominance) vs. estrogen receptor beta (the good estrogen dominance).
• Identify specific nutrients that shorten or lengthen hormone signaling time.
• Discover the role of hormones in gut health and healing intestinal hyperpermeability (leaky gut) and the role of hormones in biome and gut immunity health (SIGA).
• Understand how to track healthy hormones as we age, and the emergent role of FSH.
• Understand what endocrine disruption is, what it is doing to our hormones, children, brain, obesity epidemic, and how to protect our patients.
• Learn evidence-based nutritional protocols.

Topics

• Which nutrients increase or decrease estrogen-signaling time
• The good and bad estrogen dominance
• Which nutrient is essential to add shape to any hormone nestling into any receptor to deliver its signal to a gene
• How to use foods and herbs to balance hormones
• Endocrine disrupting chemicals - how they affect pregnancy, hormones, reproductive milestones, and are at the core of resistant obesity
• Obesogens and transgenerational effect

Lindsey Berkson, MA, DC , CNS, DACBN

Dr. Berkson is considered a thought leader in integrative medicine. She has been a clinician, professor, best-selling author, and radio show host, all with an emphasis on hormones, nutrition, digestion, and environmental science. A distinguished hormone scholar at Tulane University at an environmental estrogen think-tank, The Center for Bioenvironmental Research, she worked with the scientists who discovered the first two estrogen receptors. She is also a professor to MDs and pharmacists at A4M and PCCA - higher board certification courses to become functional practitioners.

Dr. Berkson formulated the first female nutraceutical line for physicians in the U.S. and holds a patent with Dr. J.V. Wright on bioidentical hormones. She holds another collaborative patent on a drug for dialysis and diabetic patients. A research fellow with Health Sciences Collegium, she has collaborated and published original research on dialysis and nutrition with The University of Texas Medical School in Houston and Bryan Nathan, PhD. Dr. Berkson is a scientist for peer review for the prestigious journal Environmental Toxicology.

Dr. Berkson has teamed up with Dr. Daved Rosensweet for a three-day Continuing Medical Education (CME) symposium for Medical Doctors (MDs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs).Dr. Berkson consults with patients and physicians internationally, specializing in medical nutrition for breast cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, as well as serious complex cases. Dr. Berkson has been working for 4 years at the Naples’ Center for Functional Medicine (formerly Dr. Perlmutter’s practice) where she initiated functional breast cancer and nephrology programs, which are being very well received.
