| 0:04.7 | number 263. Welcome to Thinner Piece and Menopause and Beyond. This is Dr. Deb Butler, |
| 0:15.6 | master life and weight coach, and as always, your coach. If you're a woman and you're smart and you're |
| 0:23.8 | successful and you've been struggling with weight your whole life and now menopause is making it |
| 0:29.5 | harder than ever, and you are ready to make this the last time you ever have to go on a diet |
| 0:36.5 | again, then this podcast is for you. Stay tuned. |
| 0:43.8 | Hi, all my dear friends. How are you today? It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Spring, spring, |
| 0:49.6 | spring. I'm having such a good time. Going out and playing, you know, my playing is what you call exercise. |
| 0:57.6 | I've been playing every day, going on amazing walks, doing my yoga. I love yoga so much. |
| 1:04.5 | And, you know, when I talk about exercise, the interesting thing about exercise is that I call it play. |
| 1:10.0 | And the reason that I call it play is because it's like |

| 1:48.0 | they feel better. And they're easier to be around, right? Because the purpose of moving the body is to relieve stress. It's the way we were wired. |
| 1:56.5 | So I just want you to think about it because this podcast is not on exercise, but it is on |
| 2:02.6 | urges, which we're going to talk about in a minute. |
| 2:05.8 | But the idea that when you go out and you want to move your body, notice how you feel when |
