I'm Dr. Deb Butler and you are listening to Thinner Peace and Menopause and Beyond.

This is episode number 519.

Welcome to Thinner Piece and Menopause and Beyond.

This is Dr. Deb Butler, Master Life and Weight Coach, and as always, your coach.

If you're a woman and you're smart and you're successful and you've been struggling with

weight your whole life and now menopause is 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. Stay tuned. Well, hello, all my dear friends, all over this beautiful world

of ours, no matter what's going on in your neighborhood, don't ever forget all the wonderful, beautiful

things that are happening in the midst of not so beautiful, wonderful things. They're all going on

at the same time. So sometimes I think it's really good to put your awareness on the good as it's there too,

along with the bad, which has nothing to do with what I'm actually going to talk about today.

But I always talk about perspective and perception and what you're thinking.

So I think it's good to start out in that way that where you point in your mind has a lot to do

with what you're actually going to see.

And it brings me to the topic that I want to talk about today.

Because about two weeks ago, I put an episode out,

episode number 516, on why it's more important to prioritize emotional health over physical

health. And I think it's really interesting. I've done it before.

I think it's a very interesting topic because so many women come to me.

And the reason they say that they want to lose weight is so that they can be physically

healthier.
