The Berman Method

In this episode of The Berman Method Podcast, Dr. Jake Berman and PA Jenni Berman break down one of the most overlooked—but most powerful—keys to longevity: balance.

They dive into the three systems that control balance—vision, the inner ear, and proprioception—and reveal why balance is one of the fastest physical abilities to improve at any age. You’ll...

The Bermans walk through the real reasons people shouldn’t come to Berman Health Club—like wanting quick fixes, relying on MRI reports as life sentences, or accepting aging as an excuse for decline. Then they f...

Big systems treat symptoms; we’re redesigning the system around outcomes you can feel. After years of fighting insurance limits and slow, fragmented care, we made a bold move: we closed our PT clinic and launched a health club that fuses performance training, regenerative therapies, and metabolic coaching into one streamlined experience. The goal is simple and ambitious—arrive at 60 feeling 40, and keep moving that bar as you age.

First, Jenni tackles the nutrition side, exposing how seemingly healthy foods are metabolically equivalent to ice cream. The issue isn't just carbohydrates b...

Healthcare shouldn't be this difficult. When even medical professionals like Jenni Berman, PA-C, spend over 10 hours on the phone with insurance companies without resolution, something is fundamentally broken. The Berman Method stands against a system where profit takes precedence over patients, offering an alternative approach focused on treating problems rather than symptoms.

Dr. Jake Berman reveals his latest $50,000 investment in revolutionary Extracorporeal Magneto Transduction Therapy (EMTT) technology—a system insurance companies refuse to cover despite overwhelming evidence of its effectiveness.

Ever wondered why taking medications rarely solves your health problems permanently? Dr. Jake and Jenni Berman pull back the curtain on a healthcare system designed to treat symptoms rather than cure conditions. 

"A patient cured is a customer lost" isn't just a cynical observation—it's the business model driving modern medicine.

Prepare to challenge everything you thought you knew about healthcare and chronic nerve pain. The Berman Method takes on the corporate medical giants who choose profits over patients, revealing why so many sufferers end up with medication lists three pages long—each drug treating side effects from the last one.

America stands alone in its approach to healthcare, and not in a good way. Pharmaceuticals and food ingredients that are banned in Europe and Canada fill our medicine cabinets and grocery shelves. Meanwhile, patients are routinely told they need joint replacements when their bodies have the capacity to heal without surgery.

The Bermans tackle this David vs. Goliath scenario head-on, exposing how corporate medicine, big pharma, and health insurance companies consistently prioritize profits over patient outcomes. "A patient cured is a customer lost" isn't just a catchy phrase—it's the unfortunate reality driving American healthcare decisions.

"Doctors prescribe medicines they know little about to cure diseases they know less about in human beings they know nothing about." This striking quote drives our latest exploration of how the modern medical system frequently misses the mark in treating chronic conditions.

We pull back the curtain on the profit-driven approach of Western medicine where "a patient cured is a customer lost," resulting in treatment plans that address symptoms while ignoring root causes. Jenni shares her harrowing personal experience with an ENT who prescribed medications that drastically worsened her ear infection, causing her ear canal to swell...

Food sensitivities lurk beneath the surface of even the healthiest diets—a reality that hit home for physician assistant Jenni Berman despite her near-perfect nutrition. After experiencing puzzling inflammatory symptoms, Jenny discovered her microbiome had dramatically shifted due to life stressors, requiring a complete dietary overhaul.

The gut microbiome naturally evolves every seven years, but major life events can accelerate these changes. For Jenni, seven pregnancies in seven years, multiple surgeries, and the relentless demands of running a practice while raising young children created the perfect storm for gut dysfunction. Despite maintaining what she describes as a "99.9% he...

Ever wonder why America leads the world in all the wrong health categories? In this revealing conversation, we pull back the curtain on why conventional medicine continues failing millions while a small percentage of dedicated practitioners fight to deliver truly transformative care.

The statistics are shocking. The average American woman in her late 30s now qualifies as clinically obese, with 42% of women between 35-55 falling into this category nationwide. Despite these alarming trends, most healthcare providers continue offering the same cookie-cutter solutions that clearly aren't working. We share our personal experiences fighting against this broken system, including...

This conversation arrives at a per...

Healthcare should work for you, not against you. Yet many patients find themselves trapped in a system designed to prioritize profits over healing.

Could your protein intake be sabotaging your sleep? After speaking with a business owner who hadn't slept well in two decades, we uncovered a common but overlooked connection between nutrition and sleep quality that affects countless individuals.

The truth is that many people unknowingly compromise their sleep by not consuming enough protein throughout the day. When we restrict ourselves to just one or two meals or skimp on protein, our blood sugar destabilizes, triggering cortisol spikes that make restful sleep nearly impossible. The consequences extend far beyond feeling tired—during quality sleep, your body has the remarkable ab...
