When Dr. Mikhail Berman asked his patients how they were doing, he started to hear them use the same words over and over to describe how they felt:
Sluggish. Unfocused. Tired. Unproductive. Stressed.
Dr. Berman came to believe that these men were slipping through the cracks of the primary-care system.
If they reported acute symptoms, their condition was treated.
But they weren’t receiving advice on how to combat the physical and mental effects of aging that had them dragging their feet in the morning when it was time to get out of bed.
Determined to help them feel re-energized and excited about life, Dr. Berman began to explore complementary forms of medicine, such as acupuncture and hormone replacement therapy.
When he combined his knowledge of integrative medicine with his expertise in the endocrine system, Dr. Berman found that he was able to help his patients achieve a new outlook on life.
His personalized programs take a holistic approach to men’s health, incorporating cutting-edge guidance on diet, exercise, and stress reduction, while also proactively analyzing each patient’s hormone levels to ensure that they’re in balance.
Dr. Berman received his M.D. from the Leningrad Pediatric School of Medicine in 1978, after which he completed residencies in surgery and urology. In 1982, he immigrated to the United States, and in 1985 he became licensed to practice medicine in Florida.
After nearly 20 years of primary-care practice in Miami, Dr. Berman opened Youth Extension Solutions, a clinic focused on treating the effects of aging through integrative medicine. The clinic has offices in Palm Beach Gardens, Hallandale Beach, and downtown Miami in order to serve patients from throughout southeast Florida.
He is a member and diplomat of the American Academy of Antiaging Medicine and the American Academy of Pain Management, as well as a member of the American College of Advancement in Medicine and a fellow of the Academy of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine.
