Former FBI counterintelligence agent turned health coach, Holly Bertone, joins Dr. Kevin Wall to uncover the real reasons diets fail and emotional eating takes hold. From brain science to food triggers, Holly reveals how decades of patterns can be rewired using a 3-step process rooted in neuroplasticity and behavior analysis. Together, they challenge the myths of moderation, intuitive eating, and willpower, offering hope—and real strategies—for anyone stuck in a cycle of guilt and cravings. If you’ve ever struggled with food noise, stress snacking, or late-night ice cream binges, this episode could change everything.
