Dr. Berkson is a thought leader and scholar in functional hormones, nutrition and digestive health.
Breakthrough books. Berkson wrote one of the first books on endocrine disruption, Hormone Deception (McGraw-Hill 2000), and based on this work was invited to be a hormone scholar at an estrogen think tank at Tulane University. There she got to work and study with thought leaders on estrogens in health and the environment.
Berkson wrote the only women’s reference guide on hormones, nutrition and 225 health conditions Natural Answers For Women’s Health (Simon & Schuster 2001). Berkson wrote one of the breakthrough books on the science behind bioidentical hormones Safe Hormones, Smart Women (2010 Awakened Medicine Press).
Berkson’s Healthy Digestion the Natural Way (Wiley & Sons, 1998) was the first book on the mind/body/nutrition/gut link and has been a best seller for many years. It is presently used by the esteemed American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine as the basis for their nutritional gastroenterology module to train medical doctors to become integrative, holistic doctors.
Berkson’s Foot Book (HarperCollins 1981) sold over half a million copies in the early 1980’s and was one of the early books combining hands on techniques with mind/body/nutritional techniques.
Berkson was a collaborator for Body, Mind & Spirit (Stephen Greene Press 1979), a compendium with a group of Vermont medical doctors, and the first time this now famous phrase was coined.
