In this episode of The Made Fit Show, we’re thrilled to welcome Holly Bertone, a former FBI Chief of Staff in counterintelligence, who has completely transformed her career to become a certified holistic health coach. Holly’s journey from navigating high-stakes government roles to empowering women to overcome emotional eating is nothing short of remarkable. After struggling with her own food-related challenges, Holly discovered that managing emotional eating is much like her former work in the FBI—it's all about identifying patterns and neutralizing threats.

Now, Holly is on a mission to help high-achieving midlife women break free from the grips of emotional eating and defy the pressures of diet culture. She shares how her science-backed, non-restrictive approach empowers women to fuel their bodies for energy, health, and happiness without relying on willpower or extreme dieting tactics. Holly’s unique perspective, shaped by her two decades in high-pressure government roles, allows her to offer fresh, actionable insights for those struggling with food struggles, stress, and the cycle of restrictive dieting.

During this conversation, Holly opens up about her own personal transformation, including her experience with emotional eating while working at the FBI, where she found comfort in mindlessly eating M&Ms while powering through her work. She shares candid stories about the emotional connection to food, how it can affect our well-being, and how women can navigate their own journeys toward better health with a mindset shift.

Whether you're a woman navigating the pressures of a high-achieving career, managing family responsibilities, or struggling to break free from food-related stress, Holly's empowering message will resonate with you. Tune in for an inspiring discussion filled with insights and practical strategies to help you reclaim your health, break free from emotional eating, and rebel against diet culture—all while living a balanced, fulfilling life.
