| 0:00.0 | I'm Dr. Deb Butler and you are listening to Thinner Peace and Menopause and Beyond. |
| 0:05.2 | This is episode number 498. |
| 0:12.4 | Welcome to Thinner Peace and Menopause and Beyond. |
| 0:15.6 | This is Dr. Deb Butler, Master Life and Weight Coach, and as always, your coach coach if you're a woman and you're smart |
| 0:24.8 | and you're successful and you've been struggling with weight your whole life and now menopause is |
| 0:30.6 | 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 |
| 0:39.7 | podcast is for you. Stay tuned. Well, hello, all my dear friends, and welcome. If you're |
| 0:48.8 | listening to me, welcome. If you're watching me on YouTube, welcome. And today I want to talk about, first of all, |
| 0:57.3 | that I've done 498 episodes. It's like I'm getting close to 500 and I'm going to have to have a |
| 1:03.5 | huge celebration for 500 episodes. But today for 498, I wanted to talk to you about something that will help you immediately. |

| 1:38.8 | created it. And then I created my own version of it. And that's what I teach. But I got so excited when I learned it |
| 1:47.0 | from her because it gave me so much freedom because I realize how much power my mind has |
| 1:53.4 | if I know what's going on in there. I used to think that it was more important to know what I was |
| 1:58.9 | eating than to know what I was thinking. |
| 2:02.2 | And after working with her and working with thousands of clients, I have learned that if you |
| 2:08.9 | know what you're thinking and you can be aware of it, you can change anything, especially when |
| 2:14.1 | it comes to the scale and it comes to your body. |
