Ever feel like your body just isn’t working the way it used to? Low energy. Stubborn weight. Chronic conditions that won’t budge.

 

Dr. Colin Zhu is a board-certified physician who realized that prescriptions weren’t enough — so he went to culinary school to help people heal through everyday food.

FBI Chief of Staff health coach cancer autoimmune disorders emotional eating holistic health

Holly Bertone was an FBI Chief of Staff for Counterintelligence until her career was derailed cancer and autoimmune disorders. Twenty years in a high-pressure job with ultimate stakes had taken their toll and contributed to the demise of her health.

 

But she didn't let her years of intelligence training go to waist. After leaving her dream job she began investigating why her body was failing her. It was espionage on her "food monsters" that enabled her to finally crack the code on her emotional eating.

 

It wasn't long before she accomplished her new mission of becoming a Certified Holistic Health Coach. Now she is using the same investigative tactics to help other high-achieving women solve their own mysteries by overcoming emotional eating and reclaiming their health.

 

Holly joins Chuck Carroll to share her incredible journey back to health on The Exam Room Podcast.
