INCREDIBLE: FBI Intelligence Chief Becomes Health Coach | Holly Bertone Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

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.

Why Weight Loss Makes the Brain Happy | Dr. Hana Kahleova Mar 11, 2025

Show notes

The brain undergoes a major change during weight loss. The result often is a much happier person with less depression. But the reason why this is happening goes far beyond just enjoying a smaller waist and what you see in the mirror.

Dr. Hana Kahleova explores the science behind the brain boosting benefits of weight loss when she joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.

— In This Interview —

- Bi-directional relationship between obesity and depression.

- High-carb diets more beneficial than keto diets for mental health.

- Fat quality, carbohydrates, fiber, and flavonoids are important.

- BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) plays a crucial role in mood regulation.
