23/10/2026 | 1h 15 mins.Are you taking supplements for menopause, your gut, sleep or whatever is bothering you at the moment and not sure if they're doing anything? Or are you interested in adding some supplements to your other health practices, but not sure how to go about it, who to trust and what to even look for?
We cover:
Why the supplements you're taking might be going to waste, and the one thing that has to be working first
The everyday exposures inside your own home that are draining your nutrients
How to tell if a supplement brand is actually trustworthy, and the exact questions to ask before you buy
The detox step that changed how her patients respond to hormones
What Lindsey personally takes at almost 78, and why she still skips days on purpose
Dr. Lindsey Berkson is a pioneer in hormone and nutritional health with over four decades of clinical and research experience. She's triple board-certified in nutrition, a hormone scholar at Tulane University's estrogen think tank, and one of the first practitioners to bridge endocrinology, nutrition, and gut health into an integrated approach to healing. She's also the author of more than 20 books, including Hormone Deception and Healthy Digestion the Natural Way, and has developed physician-formulated nutraceutical lines and patented bioidentical hormone applications.
