Taking Back Your Health Over 50
In this episode, Suzanne Oshima, Life Coach for Women in Over 50, delves into the inspiring journey of Holly Bertone, a former FBI chief of staff for counterintelligence, who transformed her life after a breast cancer diagnosis and subsequent health challenges. Holly shares her eye-opening realization that being thin and athletic does not necessarily equate to being healthy, especially when combined with a high-stress job and poor dietary habits.
Holly’s health crisis, which also included a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, led her to reevaluate her approach to health and wellness. She transitioned into a career as a certified health coach, focusing on holistic health and root cause healing. Holly emphasizes the importance of addressing emotional well-being alongside physical health and critiques the traditional diet industry’s narrow focus on weight loss.
She introduces her ROCKY framework, a comprehensive approach designed to empower women over 50 and in midlife to reclaim their health, wellness and happiness. The framework includes components such as releasing past patterns, taking personal responsibility, envisioning a healthy future, planning for obstacles, and embracing self-acceptance.
