The Livy Method Podcast

In this episode, Gina is joined by naturopathic doctor Dr. Paul Hrkal to unpack why weight loss can sometimes feel frustratingly slow, even when you feel like you’re doing everything right. Together, they explore the main reasons the scale may not be moving, including overlooked physical factors, stress, sleep, and the powerful role mindset plays in how the body responds. It’s an honest, reassuring conversation that shifts the focus away from blame and quick fixes and toward curiosity, personalization, and understanding what your body actually needs to move forward with confidence.Where to find Dr. Paul:Instagram: @drpaulhrkalwww.paulhrkalnd.com If you are in the Winter 2026 Support Group, you can check out the full video here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodwinter2026To learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com.

In this episode, Gina reflects on Day 36 of The Program and the realities of navigating weekends, indulgences, and scale fluctuations without panic or punishment. She explains why a salty, indulgent night (e.g., Super Bowl) can lead to temporary bloating and weight bumps that have nothing to do with real fat gain, and connects the dots between stress, sleep, hormones, past dieting, and why bodies hold onto weight, especially as we age. Gina reframes healthy weight loss as a slower, layered process that looks and feels different from quick fixes, emphasizing consistency, mindset, and self-trust over restriction.This is a recording of the Day 36, 9 AM live.

In this special M&M guest expert episode, Odette is joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Beverley David for a thoughtful conversation about the often-overlooked transition from weight loss to maintenance, where the real mindset work begins. Together, they explore why maintaining weight can feel unsettling after so much structure, how fear of regain and old diet patterns can creep back in, and why learning to trust yourself is the key to long-term success. Using relatable examples and real-life analogies, Dr. Beverley reframes maintenance as a shift from following a plan to becoming the plan, helping listeners understand how to loosen their grip, build self-trust, and step confidently into their new identity as someone who knows how to maintain.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulnessTo learn more about The Livy Method and our Maintenance & Mindfulness group, visit livymethod.com.

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!This week, Gina and Odette deliver a real-talk reminder that sustainable weight loss and maintenance aren’t about perfection, quick fixes, or waiting for things to feel easy, but about self-awareness, accountability, and continuing to show up even when it feels hard. Taking on some member questions, they speak candidly about frustration, passion, and why resistance, excuses, and old habits can quietly creep back in if they’re not addressed head-on. They reinforce that the science works, maintenance is absolutely possible, and believing in yourself enough to do the work is where real change happens.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulnessTo learn more about The Livy Method and our Maintenance & Mindfulness group, visit livymethod.com.

Join Gina and Program Manager Kim as they break down and dig into the tweak we see in week 4 of The Livy Method.The Tweak This Week? DownsizingIn this episode, Gina Livy and program manager Kim unpack one of the most talked-about tweaks in The Livy Method, Downsizing. They explore why hunger can feel louder during this tweak, how diet history and fear around food waste or scarcity can surface, and why feeling hungry doesn’t automatically mean the body needs more food. The conversation reframes hunger as information rather than an emergency, emphasizing mindful eating, asking the right questions, and learning to trust the body’s cues. They also touch on how this applies to members using GLP-1 medications, reinforcing that the process still matters, even with a reduced appetite, because the work is more about awareness than restriction.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodwinter2026To learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com

In this episode of Spill the Tea, Gina Livy sits down with Barb Guay, a 54-year-old member of the Livy Community, for a refreshingly honest conversation about a lifetime of dieting, mindset shifts, and what sustainable weight loss really looks like. Barb opens up about starting diets far too young, chasing quick fixes, and spending decades “working to lose weight,” before finally finding a process that feels supportive, realistic, and grounded in self-trust. With humour, humility, and a lot of heart, this episode highlights why real change is about more than food, how community can change everything, and why learning to show up for yourself differently can be the most powerful win of all.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodwinter2026To learn more about the Livy Method, visit www.livymethod.com.

In this episode, Gina is joined by learning strategist and author Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer for a thoughtful conversation about why change feels so uncomfortable, especially when it comes to health, habits, and weight loss. Together, they unpack how shifting routines around food, portions, and self-talk can trigger feelings of instability, fear, and second-guessing, even when the change is intentional and supportive. Dr. Deena reframes discomfort as a meaningful part of learning and growth, reminding listeners that sustainable progress comes from curiosity, awareness, and changing inputs over time rather than chasing quick fixes.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodwinter2026Where to find Dr. DeenaInstagram: @awakenedlearningWebsite: www.awakenedlearning.caDr. Deena's books:Feel Good LearningRaising Well LearnersTo learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com.
