| 0:00.0 | I'm Dr. Deb Butler, and you are listening to Thinner Piece of Menopause and Beyond. This is episode |
| 0:05.6 | number 287. Welcome to Thinner Piece of Menopause and Beyond. This is Dr. Deb Butler, |
| 0:16.8 | master life and weight coach, and as always, your coach. If you're a woman and you're smart |
| 0:24.4 | and you're successful and you've been struggling with weight your whole life and now menopause is |
| 0:30.2 | making it harder than ever and you are ready to make this the last time you ever have to go on a diet again, then this podcast is for you. |
| 0:41.3 | Stay tuned. |
| 0:46.6 | Well, hello, hello, hello, all my dear friends all over the world. |
| 0:52.5 | How are you today? |
| 0:56.9 | Well, let me tell you a little bit about me. |

| 2:11.1 | become more curious when the scale doesn't do what you wanted to do because it's just a tool. |
