Most people have been taught to eat less and move more. But what if the way you've been eating is actually working against you? In this episode, Gina Livy and Kim break down the Tweak This Week, splitting your meals to work with your metabolism instead of against it. Gina explains why separating your protein from your carbs isn't just a food strategy, it's a way to finally understand what your body actually needs.

Gina Livy gets to the root of why weight loss has felt so hard for so many people for so long. It was never really about the food. It was about years of oversimplified advice, disconnection from your body, and trying to show up through all of life's complexity with no real support.In this episode, Gina unpacks why "eat less, exercise more" misses the point entirely, how stress, sleep and emotional history can affect what the scale does, and what it actually means to become an expert on your own body. She also gets into navigating plateaus with honesty, not judgment, and why pulling in the right healthcare team is part of the process, not a sign something's wrong with you.This episode aligns with day 51 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.
