How Everything you Thought about Aging and Longevity is Wrong with Dr. Lindsey Berkson

In this compelling episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we welcome Dr. Lindsey Berkson—a pioneering expert in functional medicine, specializing in hormones, nutrition, and gut health. With a career spanning over four decades, Dr. Berkson has not only contributed extensively to medical research and education but has also faced profound personal health challenges. Exposed to the synthetic estrogen DES (Diethylstilbestrol) in utero—a drug later found to cause significant health issues—she endured 15 surgeries, the loss of multiple organs, and a battle with breast cancer. These experiences have fueled her relentless dedication to understanding and overcoming complex health issues, particularly those dismissed as 'normal' by conventional medicine.
