Ep 541: Dr. Deb on Linda's Corner: Conversations that help you heal, grow and thrive

Weight loss in menopause can feel frustrating when the things that worked before suddenly stop working. But what if the answer isn't simply changing what you eat? I joined Linda Bjork on Linda's Corner to talk about what I believe is at the heart of menopause weight loss. Learning why you eat when you're not hungry. We talked about physical hunger, emotional hunger, and my simple negative 10 to plus 10 hunger and fullness scale. I also shared my own experience with menopause, Weight Watchers, emotional eating, and realizing that having the right information wasn't enough. We also talked about listening to your body when it whispers instead of waiting until it screams, learning to manage your mind, trusting yourself, and practicing self-compassion. Enjoy the show!
