    32:36||Season 7, Ep. 1
    Welcome to the Winter 2026 group! In this episode of The Livy Method podcast, Gina reminds listeners that a strong start is overrated; it's consistency that truly drives success.

This conversation gets into the deeper layers of weight loss, including the emotional and psychological baggage that can come along for the ride. Gina also breaks down why the scale is a tool, not a truth-teller, and how fluctuations are normal (and expected).
