The part nobody talks about: what comes after weight loss.

Season 7, Ep. 84

Join Gina, Program Manager Kim, and Maintenance and Mindfulness Group Manager Odette as they break down and dig into the tweak we see in week 12 of The Livy Method.


The Tweak This Week? Maintenance


In this episode, Gina and Kim are joined by M&M Group Manager Odette to have an honest, real-talk conversation about what happens after weight loss, breaking down why maintenance isn’t a finish line but a whole new phase that requires intention, awareness, and practice. They unpack the evolution of the 91-day Maintenance Program, the science-backed pillars behind it, and why truly solidifying your weight means building trust with your body, your habits, and yourself. Whether you are still working toward your goals or starting to think about what comes next, this episode reframes maintenance as the key to making weight loss stick and stepping fully into a new way of living.

  • 35. Stop Optimizing Yourself Out of Living

    33:14||Season 8, Ep. 35
    Gina Livy sits down with Kyle Buchanan, wellness contributor on Global's The Morning Show and host of Feel Goodery and The Exhale on SiriusXM, and they do not hold back. From salmon sperm facials to scream clubs, they cut through the noise of so much modern wellness "wankery" to talk about what actually may help you. The conversation gets to the core of nervous system burnout, why grief goes unacknowledged, what it means to finally stop editing yourself for everyone else, and why the most radical thing you can do right now might be to exhale longer than you inhale. No optimization required.Where to Find Kyle:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itskyleb/Website: https://www.kylebuchanan.ca/Podcast: feelgoodery with Kyle BuchananThe Exhale with Kyle Buchanan on SiriusXM Radio ch.167 Sundays at 4pmThis episode aligns with day 39 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

  • 33. Your Body's Default Mode Is Health. Do You Believe That?

    45:17||Season 8, Ep. 33
    You've been eating right, taking your supplements, showing up every day, and the scale still isn't moving the way you hoped. Dr. Paul Hrkal is back with Gina Livy, and this time the conversation goes deeper than food. He walks through the blood work your family doctor probably isn't running, the four hormonal systems that silently stall fat loss, and why inflammation, gut health, and mindset are all part of the same story. But the real pivot in this episode? The idea that your body's default setting is health, and what it actually takes to believe that. If you've been blaming your body, this one will change the way you talk to yourself.Where to Find Dr. Paul:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drpaulhrkal/Website: http://www.paulhrkalnd.com This episode aligns with day 38 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.
