| 0:00.0 | I'm Dr. Deb Butler and you are listening to Thinner Peace and Menopause and Beyond. |
| 0:05.5 | This is episode number 496. Stay tuned. |
| 0:14.3 | Welcome to Thinner Peace and Menopause and Beyond. This is Dr. Deb Butler, master life and weight coach. And as always, your coach. |
| 0:24.3 | If you're a woman and you're smart and you're successful and you've been struggling with weight your |
| 0:30.1 | whole life and now menopause is making it harder than ever and you are ready to make this |
| 0:37.3 | the last time you ever have to go on a diet |
| 0:40.1 | again, then this podcast is for you. Stay tuned. Well, hello, all my dear friends all over the |
| 0:50.3 | world as fall is coming in, which creates a lot of joy for me because I like fall. I like the |
| 1:00.2 | weather. I love the colors. I love to be able to walk in it. So I have a lot of thinking about fall |

| 2:06.5 | And one of the things of how I believe that you can create peace around eating, around your |
| 2:14.1 | body, around food is how you think about it. And I know I've spent a lot of time over |
| 2:21.1 | these last years talking about how I don't like diets and how I believe they've hurt our brains |
| 2:28.9 | and disconnected us from our own bodies and disconnected us from how things actually feel when we put |
| 2:36.4 | them in our bodies. But today I actually want to talk about how I think diets have helped. |
