The Livy Method Podcast

Most of us are working out but have no idea if it's actually doing anything. Are you lifting enough? Moving enough? Resting too much or not enough?In this episode, Odette sits down with fitness and longevity expert Andrew Blakey for a straight-talking conversation about what it really takes to get stronger, protect your bones, and feel capable in your body for the long haul. They break down progressive overload in plain language, bust the "no pain, no gain" myth, and get into real talk on walking, strength training, osteoporosis, impact training, rest days, and creatine, including what the latest science actually says.Where to Find Andrew:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamandrewblakey/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Iamandrewblakey/Website: https://blakeybreakthrough.com/ This episode aligns with day 60 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

Most people aren't stuck because they're lazy. They're stuck because they're grading themselves on effort instead of outcome and there's a difference. In this episode, Gina Livy gets brutally honest about the gap between feeling like you're doing the work and actually doing the work. She breaks down why weight fluctuates even when you're consistent, what your body is actually doing when the scale doesn't move, and the three non-negotiables that matter more than anything else in the final stretch of achieving your goals. This is also a conversation about the weight we carry that has to do with the guilt, the stress, the life events that quietly derail us and why showing up anyway is the only path forward.This episode aligns with day 60 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

Maintenance is supposed to be the finish line. So why does it feel like the starting line? In this episode, Gina Livy and Odette get into the real reasons people back slide and dig into why some people unconsciously gain their weight back to keep others comfortable, what the "bits and bites" slippery slope actually is (and isn't), and why finishing food you don't want is a habit worth breaking. Plus: a frank conversation about splitting meals, reading your hunger cues, and why your weight on the scale is almost never the whole story.This episode aligns with day 59 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

Many women leave their doctor's office after asking about menopause more confused than when they walked in. Women's health and fitness expert Amanda Thebe (author of Menapocalypse) joins Gina Livy for a conversation about what's actually happening in your body during perimenopause and menopause, and what to do about it. The truth is most doctors aren't knowledgeable about this stage of life. That's where Gina and Amanda come in. They get into the real exercise minimums (they're lower than you think), why you can't entirely blame menopause for weight gain but it's also not in your head, what HRT actually does and doesn't do, which supplements are worth it and which are a waste of money, and how to stop being misled by fear-based wellness content online.Where to Find Amanda:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amanda.thebeWebsite: https://amandathebe.com/Podcast: https://amandathebe.com/podcast/ Book: Menopocalypse: How I Learned to Thrive During Menopause and How You Can Too!https://amzn.to/43DvUc2This episode aligns with day 58 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

Fitness and aging expert Andrew Blakey joins Gina Livy for a conversation that cuts through the pressure to go hard or go home when it comes to moving your body. Andrew breaks down why going too hard too fast is the most common mistake, why rest is where strength is actually built, and how consistency with movement isn't about discipline, it's about identity. Don’t have to be a fitness person to be a fit person.Plus: free weights vs. machines, the squat debate, stretching order, and whether your gardening counts as a workout (spoiler: kind of, but not really). Where to find Andrew Blakey:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamandrewblakey/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Iamandrewblakey/Website: https://blakeybreakthrough.com/ This episode aligns with day 53 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.
