The Naples Center for Functional Medicine has added hormone scholar and nutritionist Dr. Lindsey Berkson to its team of experienced physicians, bringing another perspective to the growing practice. Her specialty is evaluating the relationship between hormones, nutrition and digestion, creating an individualized health care plan that optimizes patients’ overall health, wellness and lifestyle, along with developing natural solutions to slow down the aging process.

Berkson has been a consultant, lecturer, researcher, author blogger, podcaster, chiropractor and functional medicine specialist for nearly 50 years, much of it focused on the role of hormones, including the development of supplement-maker Metagenics’ first female nutraceutical line for U.S. physicians.

“Aging is not an unavoidable fact of life,” says Berkson, who was a distinguished scholar at Tulane University and fellow at the Health Sciences Collegium Medical Research Institute. “So much of the aging process is attributed to our hormones, so with the right strategies and lifestyle changes, we can help patients slow down the aging process naturally so they can continue to live a fulfilling, enjoyable and healthy life.”
