  • 44. A New Mom Shares the Hard Weeks, Not Just the Wins

    35:16||Ep. 44
    What does it look like to keep showing up when the scale goes the wrong way? Gina sits down with Karlie, a postpartum mom who's been posting weekly Livy Method updates on Instagram, including the weeks she'd rather hide. They get into why sharing failures lands harder than highlight reels, the toxic "skinny talk" side of social media and how she curates against it, losing weight while breastfeeding, quick fixes versus root causes in the age of GLP-1s, and the accountability group chat with her mom and sister that started it all. If your journey doesn't look like a before-and-after, this one's for you.Where to Find Karlie:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kbatterman17

As a board-certified family physician, certified menopause provider, and Clinical Director of Women's Health and Vitality at Medcan Toronto, Dr. Jen breaks down why women who were told they "missed the window" for hormone therapy are finally getting answers, and why that 10-year rule was never as hard and fast as it sounded. She and Gina get into the GLP-1 trend's hidden cost, the supplements with real science behind them versus the cash grabs, why your hormone blood test will always come back "normal," and the one question that debunks any miracle product in two seconds.

Robin opens up about being put on her first diet at age eleven during her ballet years and shares how decades of yo-yo dieting shaped her mindset. She reflects on the moment she realized she hadn’t failed diets—they had failed her—and how that shift led her to a more mindful, compassionate approach to weight loss. Now living in maintenance, Robin shares what it means to let go of old identities, tune into her body’s needs, and trust herself in this new phase. It’s a personal and profound conversation about healing, habit change, and why maintenance is about more than holding steady—it’s about living a life that finally feels like your own.
