  • 61. Why Your Scale Spikes in the Heat (And What It Actually Means)

    27:53||Season 8, Ep. 61
    It's not you, it's the heat. In this episode celebrating Canada Day, Gina Livy explains why hot weather and air conditioning can spike your scale even when your weight is actually trending down, and what to do about it (hint: it involves salt and fruit, not less water). From there she goes deep on set point, the real reason "goal weight" isn't a fixed number, why your body fights to keep you in a range, and how releasing fat is a different process than burning it. She also answers questions on true hunger versus habit hunger and how to navigate a summer full of celebrations without losing your footing.This episode aligns with Day 73 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

  • 60. Crepey Skin, GLP-1s, and What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You

    34:49||Season 8, Ep. 60
    Dr. Sean Rice is back, and this time he's talking skin. As a plastic surgeon and one of Canada's leading voices in cosmetic medicine, Dr. Sean breaks down what's actually happening to your skin when you lose weight and why waiting until after you hit your goal could mean playing catch-up on damage that was totally preventable. He gets into the GLP-1 and crepey skin connection most doctors aren't talking about, the real difference between fillers and biostimulants (and why it matters for Ozempic face), what Korean skincare is actually worth buying, and the emerging treatments that could change everything. From exosomes for hair growth to enzymes that are rewriting the cellulite conversation, this one has it all. Plus: red light therapy, snail mucin, salmon sperm cream, and an honest breakdown of what's worth your money and what isn't.Where to Find Dr. Sean Rice:Website: https://www.doctorseanrice.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorseanrice/This episode aligns with Day 72 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

  • 59. What Is Going On With Me?

    33:00||Season 8, Ep. 59
    What if the reason you feel off today has nothing to do with the food? Odette and Kim are co-hosting this week and they're getting into what it really means to listen to your body when life gets busy, seasonal, and a little loose around the edges.Canada Day is coming, the patios are open, and the structure that felt solid in the spring is getting tested. This conversation covers the difference between "what is wrong with me?" and "what is going on with me?", a simple reframe that changes everything. They unpack how to use Back on Track with intention, not as the excuse it can quietly become. And they get into the science of community: why surrounding yourself with people who get it actually makes your body feel better.This episode aligns with day 71 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

  • 58. Back on Track Is Not a Loophole

    30:54||Season 8, Ep. 58
    Gina's traveling, so program managers Kim and Odette are taking the wheel and came prepared. They get into one of the most misunderstood tools in the Livy Method: Back on Track. It's not a free pass. It's not a punishment. And it's definitely not something you trigger every Monday after a weekend of snacks. It's a feeling and knowing the difference changes everything. Kim and Odette break down what Back on Track actually is, when to use it (and when not to), why the scale is the wrong signal to follow, and how this tool shifts when you move into maintenance. They also get into the No Snack Challenge debrief, how to navigate Canada Day and the 4th of July without derailing your progress, and why the end of the program isn't the end of your journey.This episode aligns with Day 71 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

  • 57. Why Summer Is the Perfect Time to Stop Overthinking Food.

    29:10||Season 8, Ep. 57
    What if the hardest part of getting healthy isn't the eating? What if it's learning to stop needing a plan to tell you what to do?To get you motivated today, Gina Livy gets practical about something most wellness content skips: the transition from following rules to actually trusting your body. She breaks down the science behind meal timing and why smaller, frequent meals were never meant to be a forever thing. She talks fat... the good kind, the misunderstood kind, the kind that matters most for women navigating midlife. And she gets deeply personal story about what reframed everything she understands about self-awareness and how we show up in our own lives.This episode aligns with day 66 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

They tackle the snack confusion head-on with what to combine, what to swap and why portion restructuring (not restriction) is what actually drives results. Plus: why the protein obsession you're seeing on social media doesn't apply when you're eating like this, how conditioned hunger is quietly running your day, and what's coming next for eating in tune with your body.If you've ever stared at your plate wondering if you're doing it right, this one can help.This episode aligns with Day 66 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.
