Enjoy this highly inspirational show on the power of your choices. Learn how moment-by-moment, your foods, thoughts, actions and decisions, have the ability and power to morph your genes to act - for better… or for worse.

Even women with serious breast cancer genes can take strategic and positive actions that morph their fate toward better protection. This is a podcast you will want to listen to over and over again - to boost your HOPE on down days and to reinforce it on up days!
I used to write for the San Francisco Chronicle, an entire page one day a month. I loved it. One day my editor, Michael Bauer, called me in and said he had two comments; 1) “Your most recent article was fabulous and, 2) You’re fired!” What happened? This was in the early 1980’s. I had just written an in-depth, well-cited study about the upcoming epidemic of diabetes. I wrote how sugar, and even the avalanche of hidden sugar, was putting us at risk of many other health problems including depression, anxiety, cognition and heart health. Sounds right on, yes? Turned out [...]
You’ll never look at food the same way again after listening to this show! Listen and learn the exact processes of how your amazing gut immune system, microbiome and digestive enzymes try to fight off any lurking pathogens that may be hiding in foods (such as those in a typical salad bar).

It’s Complicated I adore that movie with Meryl Strep directed by one of my favorite directors, Nancy Meyers, called “It’s Complicated.” That sums up so much of life. Well, it’s also an accurate way of looking at marvelous melatonin. Melatonin is a multi-tasking complicated hormone. Many of us think of it as a sleep hormone. But it’s much, much more. Just a few examples: Melatonin is one of the most powerful and least damaging anti-oxidants there are. It fights multiple types of cancer as we sleep. And, it helps prevent, but sometimes promotes, type-2 diabetes! The Melatonin/Pancreas Story When you sleep, [...]

Our children are caught in a dangerous pharmaceutical loop. Contemporary children are being prescribed excessive drugs, which often cause side effects that then result in even more prescriptions. For example, did you know that anti-histamines for allergies rinse magnesium out of the body and can shrink brain volume in your child’s developing brain? Be smart and learn the shadow sides of common drugs and exact steps to protect your children from Dr. Berkson.
Hearing about estrogen replacement, many women unconsciously cover their breasts with their arms. The word “estrogen” makes them think of the “enemy”— breast cancer. Scientists and doctors often feel the same way. This is understandable as a large body of data supports the widely recognized ways that estrogen can “fuel the fire” of estrogen-positive breast cancer cells. But it’s not the whole and accurate estrogen story. A shifting paradigm about the complex terrain of estrogens is showing that sometimes estrogens can prevent breast cancer, and sometimes even help treat breast cancer. Did you know estrogen has been used to treat breast [...]
One of the number one complaints of many people today is that they can’t shed unwanted FAT. This podcast gives you an understanding of how to “break out of your fat cell,” and exact steps to win this common battle.
In medicine, the right hand often doesn’t know what the left hand is doing. You may be taking a drug to deal with an illness or a set of symptoms, but that drug may cause other issues and symptoms. If the link between the first medication and its adverse effects are not recognized, then the adverse effects may be treated as primary problems needing their own medications. You just keep getting more ill and being on more meds. And you end up walking around with a huge question mark over your head. What the heck is happening? The term iatrogenic means [...]
