Hey there friend, I hope you're able to take a little time off to rest and reconnect with yourself as we wrap up 2022 and move into 2023.

I know I'm looking forward to a few days off so I can hit the ground running in January.

We have a new weight loss for doctors only coaching program starting January 9th that I'm very excited about.

There's just something about the new year that gives us a little extra pep in our step.

If you missed your chance to join us while we were open for enrollment, you can get on the weight list right now.

Just go to KatrinaUbellMD.com forward slash info to learn more about the program and to sign up for the weight list.

Then if a spot opens up, we'll let you know and then you won't have to wait until later in the year to join us.

Remember, no matter how you plan to lose weight, you just cannot skip the part where you work on your brain if you want your results to be permanent.

So head over to KatrinaUbellMD.com forward slash info to get on that weight list.

Now, I'm with the show.

Welcome to the Weight Loss for Busy Physicians Podcast.

I'm your host, Master Certified, Life and Weight Loss Coach KatrinaUbellMD.

This is the podcast where busy doctors like you come to learn how to lose weight for the last time by harnessing the power of your mind.

If you're looking to overcome your stress eating and exhaustion and move into freedom around food, you're in the right place.

Welcome to the podcast today. I'm so glad that you're here with me. I am excited to tell you more about today's topic because this is something that I think so many of us deal with.

And it also involves quite a story and who doesn't love a story. I always love a story. So so glad that you're here with me today.

Today we're going to talk about blazing new neural pathways alone or with help.

And so we're going to talk about it through the lens of weight loss, but I'm going to tell you an unrelated to weight loss story that will help you to see the metaphor there, the equivalence and how it's really the same thing.

Because I mean, it's no surprise to anybody that when you decide to change your habits, whether it's with the way that you're eating or maybe with drinking alcohol or maybe the way you're moving your body or maybe even just your habits with how you finish your charts or how you approach sleep.

I know back when I would take all I totally knew that it made sense to go to bed early, but I would end up staying a bit late thinking, well, I don't want to sleep for just a little bit and then get that kind of, you know, 10 10, 10,

10, 10, 30 11 p.m. page from a patient because they're thinking, oh, let me call the doctor before she goes to sleep. Then I basically just had a nap and now I can't fall back asleep against my mice. Well, just stay up. Well, sometimes that worked out. And sometimes I was glad I hadn't gone to sleep, but so many times I should have just gone to sleep because then I was woken up.

However, many more times later in the night or I could have had a really nice long night of rest and I missed out on it because I stayed up late, right? So whatever kinds of habits were trying to change when it comes down to losing weight and losing weight permanently changing our relationship with food, changing our relationship with our cells, changing our relationship with our bodies.
