Take Charge Of Your Health: Hormones and Human Nature: Revisiting Dr. Louis Berman’s Endocrine Revolution

This episode of Take Charge of Your Health, hosted by Corinne Furnari and Carol Peterson, dives deep into the roots of hormonal science by revisiting Dr. Louis Berman’s groundbreaking 1922 book, The Glands Regulating Personality. Berman, a pioneer in early endocrinology, proposed that internal glands—such as the thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands—not only regulated physical health but were also key to shaping one’s personality, intellect, and behavior. In conversation with an AI-generated segment from The Deep Dive, the hosts unpack Berman’s ideas, highlighting his belief that underactive or overactive glands could explain mental states, social roles, and even moral character. Although Berman’s work is shadowed by some problematic associations with early 20th-century eugenics, the hosts emphasize his groundbreaking vision of a personalized, chemistry-driven understanding of human potential—one that predated modern functional medicine by nearly a century. They contrast these early concepts with today's clinical practices, pointing out how modern medicine often still overlooks the interconnected, systemic nature of hormonal imbalances. This episode invites listeners to reflect on the historical roots of their own health journeys, emphasizing the continued importance of observing the body as a complex, integrated system.

Take Charge of Your Health - Addressing Brain Fog: Sleep, Hormones, and Nutrition

In this episode of Take Charge of Your Health, hosts Corinne Furnari, and Carol Petersen, take on the increasingly common and often misunderstood issue of brain fog. They describe it not as a singular disorder but as a multifactorial symptom reflecting deeper imbalances in the body’s interconnected systems. The discussion examines several root causes, beginning with poor-quality or insufficient sleep, which disrupts the brain’s ability to repair and reset. The hosts also highlight the impact of blood sugar fluctuations, noting that sharp insulin surges followed by low glucose levels can significantly impair concentration, energy, and mental clarity. In addition, hormonal imbalances—particularly low levels of cortisol and progesterone—are explored as key contributors, especially in cases of long COVID, where persistent fatigue and cognitive sluggishness often overlap. Furnari and Petersen emphasize the importance of addressing brain fog through holistic means rather than quick fixes. They discuss the benefits of regular exercise, strategic fasting, and targeted nutritional support, including B1, Vitamin D, and proteolytic enzymes, which can all enhance metabolic and cognitive resilience. Throughout the program, the hosts invite listener participation, fielding questions and sharing practical insights aimed at helping individuals understand and reverse the underlying causes of mental fatigue. By connecting sleep, hormones, and nutrition, the episode underscores that clear thinking and sustained focus depend on a healthy, balanced internal environment—one that can be restored through mindful lifestyle choices and integrative care.

DREAMLEAPERS® with Harriette Cole featuring Esther Gokhale

Esther Gokhale (pronounced GO-clay) is internationally recognized as “The Posture Guru of Silicon Valley,” a title given by The New York Times. Trained in science at Harvard and Princeton, Esther has taught the Gokhale Method® at leading institutions including Google, Facebook, Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, UCSF, and TEDx (Stanford). The Gokhale Method is currently the subject of a Stanford clinical trial focused on back pain treatment. Esther’s lifelong dedication to healing began in childhood while growing up in India, where she assisted her mother, a nurse, in caring for abandoned infants awaiting adoption. This early exposure to integrative care led her to study biochemistry at Harvard and Princeton, followed by acupuncture training at the San Francisco School of Oriental Medicine. After suffering debilitating back pain during her first pregnancy and undergoing unsuccessful back surgery, Esther committed herself to understanding the root causes of chronic pain. Her studies at the Aplomb® Institute in Paris and years of research in Brazil, India, Portugal, and other regions—where back pain is far less common—led to the development of the Gokhale Method®, a systematic approach to restoring the body’s natural alignment and movement patterns. Esther is the author of the best-selling book 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back, which has sold over 300,000 copies and been translated into ten languages. She also hosted the nationally televised program Back Pain: The Primal Posture™ Solution. Today, the Gokhale Method is taught worldwide by certified teachers personally trained by Esther. The Gokhale Method focuses on restoring a natural “primal posture,” often described as a J-spine, through small, practical adjustments to everyday movements, including: Sitting & Standing: Stretchsitting™ and Stacksitting™ techniques to elongate the spine Bending: Hip-hinging to protect spinal discs Walking: Glidewalking™ to reduce joint stress Lying Down: Supportive sleep positions that maintain spinal alignment Interested in learning more?

Death by ICE

We honor Renee Good and Alex Pretti, the recent victims of the deadly, supposedly immigrant focused killings of two American citizens by the United States Department of Homeland Security and Immigration Customs Enforcement, better known as DHS and ICE. We'll also provide some context into these tragic and disorienting killings of our neighbors in Minneapolis and affirm that they are the result of White Supremacist and Fascist policies of our nation that in some ways are as “American as Apple Pie”. We include In Memoriams by Sylvan Robinson remembering Renee Nicole Macklin Good and Alex Pretti, who were killed in separate incidents only two weeks apart. GAG members and activists Cathy Marino Thomas and Josh Tjaden give us commentary on the hard hitting intersectionality of these deaths with our experience. We share an uplifting Interview with JP Thomas, organizing Director of Brady expanding on Brady’s talking points on ICE deployment and tactics in our nation. Ti Cersley, GAG Vice President shares our January Press conference as Gays Against Guns celebrates ten years of fighting for LGBTQ Rights and working to end gun violence against LGBTQ people and all those in marginalized communities.

Take Charge of Your Health: Hormone Misinformation and Dr Peter Atilla

Carol and Corinne review a podcast interview with Dr. Peter Atilla and Dr. Andrew Huberman from May 2022. This podcast has well over a million views, lots of praise in the comments and cited by other social media sites. The trouble is that it contains misinformation. For example, Dr. Atilla proclaims that there is a progesterone containing IUD - false. The IUD contains levonorgestrel. The drug does not move from the uterus - also false. The drug continuously goes into the blood stream and affects the whole body. We spend the whole hour unweaving the web.
