In Part 2 of Tara's conversation with Dr. Lindsey Berkson, they continue the discussion by looking at the different forms and delivery methods of HRT, including Bi-Est, estradiol, estriol and progesterone. They discuss why the way a hormone is delivered can matter, why vaginal progesterone may work differently from oral or topical progesterone, and why individual response matters when choosing a delivery method. The conversation then moves into testosterone and breast health, including the role of hormone metabolites and estrogen receptors. Dr. Berkson also shares her thoughts on mammograms and breast cancer screening, including her own experience of finding breast cancer shortly after receiving a negative mammogram. This episode ultimately comes back to one of the biggest themes of the entire conversation: don't blindly follow a protocol simply because it's considered standard. Understand the evidence, understand the limitations, and make informed decisions with appropriate medical support. In Part 2: Why Tara switched to an estradiol patch Dr. Berkson's history developing menopause supplements Progesterone, puberty and menstrual health Why hormone education is missing from conventional medical training Why Bi-Est? Bringing estradiol and estriol back into the conversation Testosterone, muscle, brain health and breast health Why progesterone delivery needs to be individualised Oral vs vaginal vs topical progesterone How Dr. Berkson approaches mammograms, ultrasound and other screening methods The breast cancer Dr. Berkson discovered after a negative mammogram Why Dr. Berkson created Everything Breast Cancer and her personal mission to help women navigate breast cancer Dr. Lindsey Berkson Lindsey Berkson, MA, DC, CNS, DACBN was a Distinguished Hormone Scholar at the Center for Bioenvironmental Research (CBR: Tulane/Xavier Universities).

Does estrogen really cause breast cancer? It's one of the biggest fears women have when considering HRT, and in this conversation, Dr. Lindsey Berkson takes Tara back to where much of that fear began. They unpack the history of the Women's Health Initiative, how the original messaging around hormones shaped medical practice, and what later analyses of the research have shown. Dr. Berkson explains why she believes estrogen has been misunderstood, including the difference between estrogen's effects on different receptors and why "estrogen-positive" breast cancer does not necessarily mean estrogen caused the cancer. They also discuss research involving women with ER-positive breast cancer who received estrogen and what those studies reported. Dr. Berkson then shares her own breast cancer story and why it ultimately led her to spend decades researching hormones. This is a fascinating conversation about how medical messaging evolves, why women need to understand the details behind the studies, and why Tara believes these are conversations women deserve to have. In Part 1: The history of the Women's Health Initiative and why it was created What the early research was actually showing about estrogen and breast cancer The controversial press release that changed the conversation around HRT What 20 years of reanalysis of the Women's Health Initiative revealed Oral vs topical vs vaginal estrogen: why delivery method matters Tara's experience with vaginal progesterone and sleep/anxiety The controversy surrounding oral progesterone The debate around estriol What "estrogen-positive" breast cancer actually means The theory behind estrogen and progesterone fueling breast tumors Dr. Lindsey Berkson Lindsey Berkson, MA, DC, CNS, DACBN was a Distinguished Hormone Scholar at the Center for Bioenvironmental Research (CBR: Tulane/Xavier Universities).

Hormone health has become more confusing than ever. Women are doing everything they can to eat well, exercise, and support their bodies through perimenopause and menopause, yet many still struggle with fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight changes, inflammation, and symptoms that never seem to improve. So what are we overlooking?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lindsey Berkson to explore why hormone health has become more complicated and why looking only at hormone levels may leave important questions unanswered. We get into the broader forces shaping how hormones behave, the reason some women respond differently to the same plan, and what may need to be considered before assuming the answer is simply more testing, more supplements, or a higher dose.Dr. Lindsey Berkson is a nutritionist, functional medicine clinician, hormone researcher, bestselling author of more than 20 books, and a pioneer in women's hormone health. For decades, she has educated both healthcare professionals and patients on bioidentical hormones, endocrine disruption, environmental medicine, and healthy aging, helping reshape the conversation around women's health.What's Discussed02:11 Why hormones act as the body's communication system and influence nearly every tissue in the body16:19 How endocrine-disrupting chemicals can interfere with healthy hormone function19:41 Why hormone changes are becoming more common in younger women31:23 The role water quality and everyday environmental exposures play in hormone health42:10 Dr. Berkson shares her personal breast cancer and hormone replacement journey47:28 Why estrogen became one of the most misunderstood hormones in women's health01:03:01 How to find knowledgeable hormone providers and become a stronger advocate for your own healthIf you have ever wondered why supporting your hormones feels more complicated than it should, this conversation will help you better understand the bigger picture and the practical steps you can take to support your health.Sign up for The Well Drop Newsletter: Check out The Well Drop approved products and brands at amberberger.me/products Find out more about Amber Berger: Website: http://thewelldrop.com Instagram: @thewelldropFind More From Dr. Lindsey BerksonWebsite: drlindseyberkson.comInstagram: @dlberkson Memberships - www.drlindseyberkson.com/membership Agile Thinking Substack - https://drlindseyberkson.substack.com/ Biotics Products - https://drlindseyberkson.com/bioticsproducts/ Everything Breast Cancer - CME/Professional/Non-Professional EditionsEverything Hormones (CME Course) - https://drlindseyberkson.com/everythinghormones/ Hormones: Vilified to Vindicated (Course) - https://drlindseyberkson.com/v2v/ Oxytocin Medicine - https://drlindseyberkson.com/oxytocinmedicine/ THE WELL DROP
Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.
Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. From the first nine verses of John chapter 14, Rabbi Steve Berkson shows us that Messiah Yeshua was the “ultimate expression of discipleship” under His Father. As followers of Messiah, we should be the same, so that others will see Yeshua represented in us and ultimately see the Father. What did Yeshua do? He walked out the Torah-observant life perfectly. He invites us to do the same and provides help by sending His Spirit. What's in a name? Yeshua says, “if you ask whatever in My Name…” Does this mean that, if His Name is invoked like a magic genie, He has to do one's bidding? Rabbi Steve clarifies what Messiah meant when He told us to use His Name. Rabbi Berkson once again dissects these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings. mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app youtube.com/@mtoi facebook.com/mtoiworldwide instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): • Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm • Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. To refresh our minds and hearts, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings us back to 1 John chapter 1 to expound on who Messiah Yeshua is and what He should be to all of us, namely life, light, and truth. Through this understanding, we should do our utmost to live in the light, having fellowship with Elohim and with each other. This fellowship is achievable only by living in covenant with Elohim, where there is only light and no darkness at all. In chapter 2 of 1 John, Rabbi Berkson begins by identifying the number one problem, according to him, in the Body of Messiah today. • How can you know that you know Messiah? • How is the love of Elohim ‘perfected' in you? • What is a ‘stumbling block'? How does it affect your life and walk? • What is meant by “do not love the World nor that which is in it”? • Are we in the “Last Hour”? • What is an ‘anti-messiah'? • Why did John say, “and you know all…”? • What happens when someone rejects Torah? • How do you know that you are “born of Him”? You can only understand Love and Torah when you understand how light and darkness can influence and work in your life. Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings. mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app youtube.com/@mtoi facebook.com/mtoiworldwide instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): • Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm • Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org
Have you maintained a faithful, straight walk in Torah? Or have you gotten “off the path” a little or a lot? Do you sense a call to return to the path, to Yahweh? As Rabbi Steve Berkson concludes this teaching series, he begins with Joel 2:12, where we see Elohim giving His people instruction on how to return to Him. As Rabbi Berkson points out, Yahweh expects those returning to Him to be serious about repairing the breach in the relationship. • What is tearing your garments? Why does Elohim want a tearing of the heart instead? • What does Elohim do to get your attention so that you return to the path? In Jeremiah 32:37-42, Yahweh says that as much as He brought evil to His people for their turning away from Him, He will bring just as much good to those who return. • When Elohim says, “I shall give them one heart…”, is He just going to hand out new hearts to everybody? • Ephesians chapter 2 talks to us about the opportunity given to us to become what? Moving to Isaiah 1:16-20, Rabbi Berkson points out that with a holistic understanding of Scripture, it's not possible to get the message that Elohim just gives us everything. He also points out that the Scriptures can be used by many to draw erroneous conclusions. • What is a ‘holistic' approach to the Scriptures? • How could someone prove from Scripture that their chicken was the Messiah? • What is evil? How does Yahweh define evil? • When Elohim says, “Come let us reason together…” (Isaiah 1:18), does that mean Yahweh wants your input? In Isaiah chapter 58, Rabbi Steve clarifies that to truly be in covenant with our Creator, two things must work together. • Is this chapter only referring to Yom Kippur? • Doesn't Elohim always respond to fasting and afflicting ourselves? • What are the two things it takes to please Elohim? • How does Rabbi Berkson interpret ‘speaking your own words'? Verse-by-verse and step-by-step, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on a journey of discovery as we learn how to covenant with our Creator and Father, which, from time to time, requires us to turn around and return (Shuva) to His Word so that we can have a sure entrance into His Kingdom. mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app youtube.com/@mtoi facebook.com/mtoiworldwide instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): • Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm • Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org
Continuing from the last episode, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us from Ezekiel chapter 18 to chapter 33. In the first part of the chapter, Yahweh appoints the prophet Ezekiel as a “watchman” who warns the people of that time about the judgment coming upon them. Yahweh also gives clear instructions for how this appointment should be carried out, with a warning to the prophet of the consequences should he fail to perform his duties. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): • Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm • Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org
Have you maintained a faithful, straight walk in Torah? Or have you gotten “off the path” a little or a lot? Do you sense a call to return to the path, to Yahweh? Taking us to Jeremiah 29:12, Rabbi Steve Berkson points out Yahweh's pattern of behavior toward His people. When He needs to correct covenant behavior, He starts with small, subtle nudges and then uses more severe measures to get our attention. If He determines that we are not listening or responding, we will be turned loose to “play with the pigs” and, hopefully, come to ourselves and return to Him and the Covenant. • What's the first thing one should do when returning to Yahweh? • What is “hedging an apology”? • What does it mean not to seek Yahweh with all your heart? In Isaiah 55:6, two things are mentioned – seeking Yahweh while He can still be found and calling on Him while He is near. • What causes Him not to be near? What separates you from Him and creates distance? • Why do we not fully understand and accept His ways? • What are 3 things that will forever be in the Kingdom of Elohim? From there, Rabbi Berkson takes us to Lamentations chapters 3 and 5, where we see the formula for a prayer of repentance. • Have you ever been contrary to the Covenant out of rebellion? • What does “renew our days as of old” mean? Then we hop back to Jeremiah 6:8-17, where we see that the Torah is much more than just “The Law”; it is for our instruction. Yahweh wants us to be ‘instructed' by Him. • How can our ears be “uncircumcised”? • Why does Yahweh want to see us walk out His instructions? • What is “greedy for gain”? Verse-by-verse and step-by-step, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on a journey of discovery, learning how to covenant with our Creator and Father, which, from time to time, requires us to turn around and return to His Word so that we can have a sure entrance into His Kingdom. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): • Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm • Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org
This teaching series is based on the tradition of “Shabbat Shuva,” or the “Shabbat of Return,” which falls between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur (the Day of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement). The text for this tradition is Hoshea (Hosea) chapter 14, which begins, “O Yisra'el, return to Yahweh your Elohim…” After having gone through the Spring Feasts – Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Shavuot, which are types and shadows of the Hebrews' exodus from Egypt and journey to Mt. Sinai, have you maintained a faithful, straight walk in Torah? Or have you gotten “off the path” a little or a lot? Do you sense a call to return to the path, to Yahweh? • What is meant by “crookedness”? What does crookedness cause you to do? • Regarding the call to return – return to what? From there, Rabbi Berkson takes us into Leviticus 26 to examine the reasons for returning to the Covenant. In Leviticus chapter 26, the blessings and curses associated with Yahweh's Covenant with His people are listed. • How will you be able to walk in Covenant with the Creator? From Leviticus, we go to Deuteronomy 4:25, where we see that Yahweh has an issue with His people and their idol worship. How can we relate to them today regarding ‘idol worship'? Rabbi Berkson then takes us to Deuteronomy chapter 30 to show us one of Moses' final exhortations to the people as they are about to cross over into the Promised Land. Interestingly, Yahweh, through Moses, told the people that in their future they would stray from the path they were supposed to walk and be taken from the Land by their enemies, but as they were living in a foreign land, their hearts would turn back to Yahweh, and they would return once again to possess and live in their Promised Land. • In this chapter, we see the phrase, “circumcise your heart” – what does that mean? Isn’t that just a “New Testament” concept? What is it doing left of Matthew? And then we are taken to Romans chapter 10, where Rabbi Berkson points out that the apostle Paul is clearly writing about Torah observance and, indeed, substitutes the word ‘Messiah' for the word ‘Torah' as he quotes Moses in Deuteronomy chapter 30. • What does Romans 10:4 really mean? • What is “the righteousness of belief”? • What is “the good news of the good”? • Was there “Good News” before the New Testament? Verse-by-verse and step-by-step, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on a journey of discovery and learning how to covenant with our Creator and Father, which, from time to time, requires us to turn around and return to His Word so that we can have a sure entrance into His Kingdom.

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. In this teaching, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues with the second “Great Command” to love your neighbor or each other. He picks up where we left off in James (Ya'akov) chapter 4, then moves into chapter 5, and finally takes us to 1 John chapter 1. • How do your likes or dislikes affect your relationships with others? What does Rabbi mean by saying we have to “learn each other”? • What does “friendship with the world” mean? • What does “subject yourselves to Elohim” mean? • What does “resist the devil” mean? • How do you draw near to Elohim? How does Elohim draw near to you? • When pursuing Torah, whose feelings are you most concerned about protecting – your friends and family or Elohim? • How would you define ‘sin'? • Do you really understand what the first two verses of 1 John are talking about? Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.

Rabbi Steve Berkson digs deeper into the book of James (Ya'akov), elaborating on Ya'akov's exhortation to those under his care and guidance in chapters 3 and 4… • Why does Ya'akov say that some should not become teachers? • What does “bridling the body” mean? • Why is the ‘tongue' such a focus in chapter 3? • Are you SNIOP? • What is “Humility and Integrity vs. Hypocrisy”? • How can you be “behaving like a demon”? • How are self-seeking, confusion, and foul deeds related? How can you avoid them? • Why did Ya'akov address some people as “adulterers and adulteresses”?

Continuing in the book of James (Ya'akov), Rabbi Steve Berkson unpacks chapter 2… • To whom did James (Ya'akov) write his letter? How do we identify with them today? • How does one exhibit ‘partiality'? • What's the difference between ‘judging' and ‘judgment'? Why is one less desirable to Abba than the other? • What does it mean that if you've broken one Torah command, you've broken them all? Aren't there different levels and kinds of sin? • Why is the speed of our repentance important? • Can we keep all the commandments in the Torah today? • What are “salvation issues”? • What does it mean to be “judged by the Torah of Freedom”? Are you really free? • Are you a ‘conduit' for everything that Yah desires to distribute to others? • When should you stop calling yourself a believer? • Why wasn't Abraham's righteousness because of his belief alone? • How do belief and works (keeping Torah) function together?

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Continuing in the book of James (Ya'akov), Rabbi Steve Berkson breaks down chapter 1… • Does Elohim ‘entice' anyone to do something against His commandments? How and why are you enticed to leave the Path? • Does Yahweh ever change? • What is the definition of a “remnant”? • By what term are we who are in covenant with Elohim called? • When should you not post anything on social media? • What is the first action you should take after praying when faced with a life issue? • How are you to be “swift to hear and slow to speak”? • What is “Failure to Adult,” and why is it an epidemic today? • A Doer of Work?

Hormone optimization is about more than testosterone levels. In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Devaki Lindsey Berkson, a pioneer in functional medicine and hormone research, to explain why true longevity depends on hormone signaling, receptor sensitivity, gut health, and environmental resilience.Dr. Berkson shares why hormones function as the body's “software,” coordinating metabolism, cognition, immune balance, and cellular repair. She explains why normal lab values don't always reflect optimal function—and why many patients feel fatigued, inflamed, or hormonally imbalanced despite being told everything looks “fine.”Environmental toxins, mineral deficiencies, vitamin D status, and microbiome imbalances are all discussed as modern disruptors of hormonal communication. If you're interested in bioidentical hormone therapy, functional endocrinology, gut-driven inflammation, or precision longevity strategies, this episode delivers a research-informed, systems-based framework for sustainable health optimization.
Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. As he continues in Ephesians chapter 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson untangles common misunderstandings about disobedience, sin, covenant, and what it truly means to love Messiah Yeshua. • What are “empty words”? • What does it mean to be “a partaker with them”? • Who are you to “have no fellowship with”? From there, Rabbi Berkson takes us to 1 Timothy chapter 1 and explains how some have missed the goal of the command given by Paul to his disciple, namely a clean heart, a good conscience, and a sincere belief, and have turned aside to senseless talk, some even teaching that the Torah no longer applies to us today, just that we believe and love Messiah. Then Rabbi Berkson moves us to 2 Peter chapter 1, where we see Peter telling us that we have been given exceedingly great and precious promises by the righteousness of our Elohim and Savior Messiah Yeshua. Rabbi Berkson also points out that belief in Elohim and His Messiah is just the foundation, and that you need to “add” to that foundation certain things. • What is “Kingdom Access”? Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. The study begins with Ephesians 3:14. In this teaching, Rabbi Steve Berkson expounds on ‘Strengthening the Inner Man'. If your inner man is weak, you will fall short of the finish line and not complete the race. • How do you identify your weaknesses? • What are the “inner man exercises”? What do you do to strengthen those areas? • How do the trials and challenges in your life help you? • Who are the coaches or trainers who encourage and help you in your training?

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This series explores the “Two Great Commands’—loving Yahweh and loving your neighbor. Building on 1 Corinthians chapter 13, also known as ‘The Love Chapter,’ Rabbi Steve Berkson explains how love can manifest in many forms, such as patience, putting others above yourself, and responding with kindness to those who mistreat or slander you. “The Love Chapter” states that true love does not behave indecently. What exactly is indecent behavior? Can you find a clear description in scripture? Rabbi Berkson discusses how this concept varies across different cultures, societies, and peoples. He also emphasizes the importance of “Situational Awareness” and why practicing it helps you show love to others. Closing “The Love Chapter,” Rabbi Berkson carefully examines every word, phrase, and verse to help you, even if you’ve read this chapter many times before, gain an even deeper understanding of what it means to love one another. Rabbi Berkson once again breaks down these passages so you can better understand what Yah expects from you, enabling you to act accordingly and receive His blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide Contact MTOI: admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): • Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm • Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org
I am thrilled to connect with Dr. Lindsey Berkson today. The audacious and tenacious Dr. Berkson is a distinguished hormone scholar from the highly praised Center for Bioenvironmental Research at Tulane. She is the author of 21 books, and her impact on medical literature continues to grow. With her thoughtful manner and infectious enthusiasm for learning, she educates women about their bodies and health. Our discussion today highlights the importance of supporting the hippocampus and doing targeted cardiovascular exercise. We explore hormone replacement therapy, the timing hypothesis, and why oxytocin is more than just a bonding hormone. We cover endocrine-disrupting chemicals, detoxification, gut health, inflammation, and ways to support immunity, and we examine how oxytocin influences digestion, gut motility, and gut-brain access. We also explain how oxytocin protects our stem cells, prevents gut trauma after colonoscopies, reduces gut inflammation, and supports healthy transit time. Dr. Berkson's new book, The Oxytocin Medicine, is truly an incredible resource and one I will reference often. It is most inspiring! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How a shrinking hippocampus alters women's identity and resilience The value of cardio-respiratory fitness and pushing limits for driving resilience How conservative hormone dosing may fail to protect women's health in perimenopause and beyond Women's Health Initiative messaging created a widespread fear of estrogen. Why Dr. Berkson challenges the timing hypothesis The difference between synthetic progestins and naturally made progesterone Oxytocin and how it functions as a system-wide hormone Importance of detoxification during the perimenopause to menopause transition Consistent patterns are common among women who age with physical and cognitive resilience.

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Providing a framework for this teaching, Rabbi Steve Berkson offers a brief review of Part 40, which covers the first 9 verses of Romans chapter 12. Then, moving forward, he focuses on verse 10, where we see “in appreciation, giving preference to each other.” Rabbi Berkson explains what appreciation and preference toward your brothers and sisters look like. In this teaching, Rabbi Berkson covers Romans 12:10-16, which offers guidance and encouragement on how to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Rabbi Berkson once again breaks down the words in these passages so you can gain a deeper understanding of what Yah expects from you, so you can follow through and receive the blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide Contact MTOI: admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org
Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. On the Holy Day of Shavuot, Rabbi Berkson continues to explore Romans chapter 12, helping us understand the meaning behind the writing to that assembly of that time and what it means for us today. What does it mean to “offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, which is our ‘reasonable service'”? What does it look like to “think more highly of yourself than you should think”? Rabbi Berkson dives deep into verse 3 to explain what that means. What is the “measure of belief” that verse 3 mentions? What are the “gifts” listed in verses 6-8? Are they “spiritual gifts”? Rabbi Berkson once again analyzes these passages to help you better understand what Yah expects of you, so you can do it and receive the blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org
Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. During the weekend of Shavuot, Rabbi Steve Berkson offers a preview of the Love and Torah teaching by exploring what Shavuot means in your life – a dedication to living with the belief of who and what Messiah Yeshua truly is and becoming like Him. Then, in 2 John, Rabbi Berkson breaks down the first few verses as John writes to a family he might be discipling. The elder reminds them of the important commandment to walk in love as the Father desires. In verse 7, John warns against associating with certain people who could undermine this family’s faith. Among these warnings, John uses the term “anti-Messiah.” Rabbi Berkson explains this term clearly. What does it mean to “possess both the Father and the Son”? (2 John 9) Next, Rabbi Berkson guides us to Romans 12 and explains the author's intent as we read about presenting ourselves as a sacrifice and offering, not conforming to the “mindset of” the world, and understanding the perfect desire and will of the Father. Rabbi Berkson again analyzes these passages to deepen your understanding of what Yah expects from you, so you can do it and receive His blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide Contact MTOI: admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org
What if the most powerful business strategy today isn't AI, automation, or scale… but relationships? In this episode of The Jess Larsen Show on Innovation & Leadership, Jess sits down with serial entrepreneur and investor Noah Berkson to talk about the surprising power of real human connection in a digital world. Noah shares how he went from a self-described terrible student with ADHD to building and exiting multiple companies—including a recent sale of his farmland marketplace—by focusing on relationships, curiosity, and relentless momentum. The conversation explores why in-person gatherings still outperform online networking, how Noah built a reputation as a “super connector,” and why generosity and introductions can unlock opportunities that strategy alone never will. They also dive into lessons from Noah's entrepreneurial journey—from selling companies and investing through Austin Capital to launching curated events like Outcove, designed to bring extraordinary people together in ways that spark real collaboration. If you're building a company, investing, or simply trying to create more meaningful opportunities in your life, this episode is a powerful reminder: the right relationship can change everything.

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. As he begins this teaching, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings out the big guns, challenging you to understand and take action on what you really struggle with – you. • Why do you seem to struggle with your relationships and with yourself? Rabbi Berkson takes us to Philippians 2 to unpack what the Apostle Paul wrote to the assembly in Philippi about how they should conduct themselves in his absence. Paul exhorts those in that assembly to take on the mind of Messiah Yeshua, considering others better than themselves in humility and with awareness of others' needs. • Are you aware that what you do at any given moment may create an adverse condition for somebody else? • Are you giving to others and the Father the kind of attention necessary for a flourishing relationship? • What is meant by “leadership serving” and “submissive serving”? • What are the differences between unity, uniformity, and conforming? • Did Messiah Yeshua or His Apostles ever make the message of the Kingdom “palatable” for their listeners? • We all have our own emotional preferences, but when can those be a bad thing? • Are you the kind of person Yahweh can ‘trust' with forever? • Is there grumbling, complaining, and disputing in the Body of Messiah? Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. In this teaching, Rabbi Berkson clarifies a couple of things, including the authority given to the husband in Scripture. It seems that some people misinterpreted what Rabbi said in the last teaching, to the point that it could be very troublesome in some marriages. So Rabbi Steve takes the opportunity to give some “Covenant-Live Coaching” for married couples, those looking to be married soon, and those who should not be in an intimate relationship yet, including teenagers. Then, moving into Ephesians chapter 6, Rabbi Berkson addresses the children and “servants”. Which commandment is for the children, and which is the only one with a promise? Could this commandment have a deeper, more far-reaching interpretation? Paul wrote to the fathers not to “provoke” their children…what does this mean? Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org
What if your mood swings, anxiety, sleep issues, or loss of motivation aren't just "getting older?" What role does oxytocin really play in midlife, and why has it been overlooked for so long? In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant hormone scholar Dr. Lindsey Berkson, and we dive into a part of menopause that almost no one is talking about—what's happening in your brain. We explore how hormones act as the body's Wi‑Fi system, and what happens when that signal gets disrupted. Could environmental toxins be hijacking not just estrogen and progesterone, but oxytocin too? And if so, how might that impact connection, libido, blood sugar, digestion, or even depression? This conversation gets bold, nuanced, and deeply eye-opening. Dr. Berkson also challenges mainstream narratives around hormone therapy. Were we misled about estrogen and breast cancer? Why do some women struggle with HRT while others thrive? And could detoxification and nutrient status be the missing link? If you've ever wondered why your body isn't responding the way you expected, you won't want to miss this one! In this episode, we uncover: How oxytocin impacts mood, sleep, libido, and connection in midlife. Why environmental toxins may disrupt your hormonal "Wi‑Fi." What makes some women struggle with hormone replacement therapy. How oxytocin supports blood sugar, digestion, and pain relief. Why estrogen and progesterone are more protective than you've been told. Listen now, and let's start asking better questions about what's really happening in menopause!

Love and Torah—what's the link? This series explores the “Two Great Commands’: loving Yahweh and loving your neighbor. Building on Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson starts with verse 18, discussing “emotional preferences” and how they can either help or hinder your walk in Torah. Moving to verse 22, he encourages husbands and wives to understand the roles of marriage as outlined by Elohim. Rabbi Berkson carefully analyzes these passages to deepen your understanding of what Yahweh expects, guiding you to fulfill these expectations and receive His blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app Follow MTOI: https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org
Love and Torah—what's the connection? This series is based on the “Two Great Commands’: loving Yahweh and loving your neighbor. Continuing with Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson highlights how Messiah Yeshua clarified the scriptural meaning of “love your neighbor as yourself” by adding, “love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12). What does it truly mean to be ‘walking in darkness’? How can Yahweh see that you hold Him in importance? What institution has He given us that serves as a model for these relationships? How are love and time interconnected, and what exactly is a “generational curse”? Rabbi Steve shares several personal stories to illustrate common issues we all face as we navigate our vertical and horizontal relationships. Once again, Rabbi Berkson breaks down these passages to deepen your understanding of what Yahweh expects so you can fulfill it and receive His blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org
Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Continuing in Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson reveals the “two main areas of our existence.” This concept has much to do with the meaning of our existence and how we treat each other, according to scripture. From verse 13, the word “reprove” or “convicted” is further defined, at the request of many. What are the fruits of darkness? (verse 11) What did Paul mean when he wrote, “wake up, you who sleep”? (verse 14) To whom was he referring? How does one do that? How can you know if you're one of those who need to wake up? How does Elohim expect us to walk before Him? (verse 15) Rabbi Berkson clarifies what it means to walk “exactly.” To what are we compared if we do or don't “walk exactly”? Many ask Rabbi Berkson if he would take them “deeper” in their walk. Their definition of “deeper” is somewhat different, so he corrects and redefines what “deeper” really means. Do you know when you actually have a problem or just an undesirable challenge? Rabbi Berkson brings much-needed wisdom to this topic that just might give you some relief. Do you know what the phrase “redeem the time” refers to? Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. In Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues teaching us how to love each other. Stopping at verse 1, he expounds on becoming imitators of Elohim as dear children. In verse 2, we are exhorted to walk in love as the Messiah also loved us, giving ourselves to others as a gift to Elohim. Do you want to send up a “sweet-smelling aroma” to Yahweh? Learn to serve others. In verses 3 and 4, we see a list of behaviors that should not even be named among the Body of Messiah. Rabbi Berkson takes some time to clarify one of those behaviors – uncleanness. • What do these behaviors have to do with loving each other? In verse 5, there is something we are expected to know – what is it we should know? Why should we know it? In verse 6, Rabbi Berkson asks why Paul would write about “empty words”. What are they? Why are we cautioned about them? How have some teachers misconstrued the meaning of “empty words”? How do they affect our inheritance in the Kingdom of Elohim? In verses 7-10, Rabbi Berkson asks, “Who are you trying to please?” Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.
Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. In Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues to teach us how to love one another. Stopping at verse 1, he explains how to become imitators of Elohim as dear children. How does one become an imitator? What aspects of Elohim should we imitate? What are the two ways to become an imitator? Then, in verse 2, we are exhorted to walk in love as the Messiah also loved us, giving ourselves to others as a gift to Elohim. Rabbi Berkson identifies several points that will help you understand and do this. He also identifies a couple of glaring problems that are adversely affecting the Body of Messiah today.

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Continuing our journey through the second of the Two Great Commands, ‘love your neighbor', Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to Luke 6:38, where we see Messiah Yeshua continuing to show the contrast between what Rabbi Berkson calls “the Below” and “the Above”. He points out that in order to please the Father, you must be aligned with “the Above”. A component of loving Yahweh and your neighbor is giving. What does that mean, though? Rabbi Berkson clarifies how, when, and why to give. He also points out an incentive to give, noting that whatever we give will be returned, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. Rabbi Berkson uses his trip to a Baskin-Robbins™ ice cream store to make the point. In Luke 6:39-40, Messiah Yeshua tells a parable about the blind leading the blind. Rabbi Berkson cautions about where and from whom you get your information as you walk in Torah observance. There's a lot of misinformation out there that presents itself with authority. In verse 41, Yeshua teaches about the plank in your eye and the splinter in your brother's eye. Rabbi Berkson explains how some people take Torah knowledge and use it as a weapon to try to “help” others with their walk. “Correction can only happen correctly in the right relationship.” Then in Luke 6:47-49, Rabbi Berkson tells us that our lives are like building a house. Are we building on the correct foundation, or without one? The key is whether or not we are listening to and doing the words of Messiah. Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.
Rosh Chodesh (the new moon) is a time marker for honest self-examination and goal setting. Each new cycle is a chance to look back without self-condemnation, learn from what happened, and plan specific changes going forward. Life is framed as a transformational process with a clear target: becoming like Yeshua, measured in seven interconnected areas—spiritual, financial, physical health, relationships, mental health, emotional health, and community. Rabbi Berkson insists that you can't ignore the “other six” and claim to focus only on the spiritual, because problems in health, money, emotions, or relationships will distract from spiritual growth and spill over into each other. The practical advice is to rank these seven areas from 1 (worst) to 7 (best), then prioritize working on the area that is “bleeding” the most. That means studying why you struggle there, defining what “fixed” looks like, seeking out resources and experts, and being willing to work consistently, including retaking the “Level Up” class as a launchpad rather than a one-time fix.A key theme is mindset: become an expert in your problems, seek workarounds when limitations can't be removed, and adopt Yeshua's perspective of enduring current discomfort for future gain. Rabbi Berkson also emphasizes the importance of participating in community life—attending events, being friendly rather than passively waiting for others, and building genuine relationships. Ultimately, adult maturity in Messiah is defined as fully owning where you are and taking responsibility for where you go next across all seven areas of life.• Marking the movement of time• The journey of transformation • Time to “Level Up” in the seven areas of your life• Once is not enough • Become an expert on your struggles• I just want to focus on the spiritual• The seven areas of life are cross-effective • Ranking the seven areas for improvement • Thriving within / Find a workaround• There are proper levels for all emotions • Developing and growing into a community/family• The Level Up program will answer these questions Subscribe to take advantage of new content every week.To learn more about MTOI, visit our website, https://mtoi.org.https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide You can contact MTOI by emailing us at admin@mtoi.org or calling 423-250-3020.

Rabbi Steve Berkson would like to introduce Mr. William Jackson to the MTOI family. Among his many abilities and talents, Mr. Jackson assists Rabbi Berkson with administrative tasks, sings in the Praise Team, and is an accomplished speaker and teacher. In the Gospel of John, chapter 15, Messiah Yeshua gave His disciples final instructions before His execution by the occupying Romans. He told them emphatically, “Stay in Me,” because they could do nothing on their own (John 15:4). What does it mean to “stay in” Messiah? How do we stay connected to Him? Why is it so hard to stay in Him? Why is it so important to stay in Him? To connect the concept of “Stay in Me,” Mr. Jackson takes us to Matthew chapter 25 and expounds on the two parables the Messiah taught there – the Ten Virgins and their lamps and oil, and the man who gave his servants his possessions to invest while he was on a trip. Mr. Jackson offers insights into these parables that few have heard before. You will be encouraged and strengthened by this powerful teaching.

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Continuing our journey into the second of the Two Great Commands, ‘love your neighbor', Rabbi Steve Berkson turns to Luke 6:20, where he examines the event known as the Sermon on the Mount. Messiah teaches His disciples, contrasting life in this world (the below) with life in the heavens (the above). • Do you feel blessed when others mistreat you because of your faith in the Messiah? • Are you able to look ahead to the joy that is coming? Can you practice delayed gratification? • How can it be a bad thing when people speak well of you? What people? • How is it possible to love your enemy as the Messiah taught us to? Were you ever an “enemy of Elohim”? Didn't He love you when you were in that state?
