Are you still confused (or totally terrified) about hormone therapy because of what you heard that it causes cancer? Do you have breast cancer and have been told you cannot take hormone therapy, but still question if this is true? Then this episode is for you.
Today I sit down with cancer survivor Dr. Lindsey Berkson, one of the most outspoken, evidence-driven voices in hormone science. She has been on the front lines for more than 40 years, challenging misinformation, teaching clinicians, and calling out the myths that have held women back from lifesaving care.
We cover:
What really happened in the 2002 WHI study and why the press release created global panic
Why estrogen may be breast-protective…even for breast cancer patients
What the 2024 NIH study of 10 million women revealed about HRT
Why not ALL estrogen is proliferative
The discovery of ER-beta and how it reframed estrogen's role in cancer biology
What 25 human trials show about HRT use in ER+ breast cancer survivors
What is oxytocin and how does this hormone help women in menopause
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.
