Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Resource

I just finished reading DL Berkson's "Safe Hormones, Smart Women" and I recommend this book to any woman, from her 20's thru her 80's, because it informs in an understandable way that sheds light on so much conflicting information. Berkson has a real gift for taking complex information and making it readable and enjoyable to boot! I'm an RN with an undergrad nutrition degree, and Berkson has given me back that original revved up inspiration I had for the field of nutrition so long ago-thank you Lindsey! Your enthusiasm and boundless humor kept me reading your book until the very end. And hormones?? For nurses and lay folks alike, this stuff can be confusing and Berkson has again managed to hand carry priceless information directly to us in a lighthearted, sisterly, yet intellectually stimulating way. This will be a resource book you will keep on your shelves for years to come.

I didn't know how much I didn't know until I read this book. Safe Hormones Smart Women is a gold mine of a book that no woman (or physician working with hormones) should be without. Lindsey Berkson has done all the digging, and has left no stone unturned on her mission to get the whole truth and nothing but the truth about hormones out to her readers. She has done an outstanding job of compiling, simplifying and organizing massive amounts of scientifically based information, resulting in the most comprehensive and user-friendly book on this subject that I have ever come across. Her easy-to-read conversational style of writing is punctuated with her own brand of humor that will keep you laughing while you're learning . . . lots and lots!

1.0 out of 5 stars The book about nothing
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2012

I was waiting for this book with a such a big hopes....but unfortunetely I was soooo dissopinted ....
Honestly after reading this book I felt like someone just cheated on me, I felt betraid. The thought "another $20 spent for nothing" couldn't leave me until I placed this book for a re-sale here on Amazon......lol
How I feel much much better!
So why I did not like this book you may ask!? Well the information L.Berkson covers in her book is very useless and just doesnt provide any knowledge at all. She is not a doctor to begin with; and since I have been reading lots of good educational health articles I found this book just maybe a very very first step for a women who is thinking about BHRT; just for the very beginners so to speak.
Do your research ....check as many different books as you can before you buy this one.
good luck...and keep in mind that nobody cares for your health except YOU.....
