Ep. 91 – Dr. Deb Butler – Changing Our Stories Around Food and Cravings

Posted on March 20, 2018 by Margaret Schlachter

Dr. Deb Butler utilizes a blend of brain science, nutrition, physiology, life coaching and life lessons, teaching REAL weight loss — lasting weight loss — starts from the inside out.

Inside your BRAIN.

At 50 years old, when she started her latest round of dieting at Weight Watchers (so she could lose the same 30 pounds for the 100th time), she had one big NEW problem… the weight wasn’t coming off like it used to. She was depressed and not sleeping. Her doctor said, “Welcome to menopause.” She KNEW there had to be a better way.

Dr. Deb studied with Martha Beck and then with Brooke Castillo of the Life Coach School and became a certified Life Coach and Master Certified Life and Weight Coach. This not only helped with her weight issues but also her life issues. All of this while going through menopause. She now uses these tools in her own program based on her own experience.

She has stated menopause was the catalyst to not only stop the crazy dieting but also to connect her to her passion for working with people’s minds. This was what she was meant to do. Thanks to menopause she no longer diets and she is passionately coaching women through menopause and beyond.

Superpower: The ability to creep into the mind of a client and unleash a lifetime of obstacles. She does this by being direct, but funny. There’s no-nonsense in her line of coaching. Extra weight is just fattening thoughts.
