  • Navigating Midlife and Holistic Health

    Navigating Midlife and Holistic Health
    Sep 23 2024
    In this episode of the EZ Conversations Podcast, I welcome certified holistic health coach Holly Bertone. We discuss Holly's approach to helping women in midlife combat weight gain, energy loss, and insomnia by emphasizing the importance of mindset and a 'comeback story' perspective. Holly shares her journey from working at the FBI to overcoming health challenges and finding her path to holistic health. They delve into strategies for dealing with life's noise, the impact of traumatic experiences on health, and the significance of being intentional and connected to oneself. Holly also offers practical exercises to help listeners start their healing journey. Holly Bertone is a former FBI chief of staff for counterintelligence and has become a certified holistic health coach. She helps midlife women find the clues to prioritize their health so that their high-achievement lifestyle no longer clashes with unwanted weight gain, lack of energy, and restless nights. Holly spent 20 years in Project Management consulting and federal government service. After her own experience of breast cancer, healing herself from an autoimmune disease, and creating a no-conflict divorce, she learned there’s more to life than burning the candle at both ends and living according to everyone else’s agenda. As a Certified Holistic Health Coach, she helps women combine high performance and mindset principles to ditch diet culture and create SUSTAINABLE RESULTS that are an effortless part of their lifestyle.
