The Livy Method Podcast

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.

You were doing everything right. Then you started getting close to your goal and something in you hit the brakes. Sound familiar? In this episode, Gina Livy gets into the real reason so many women sabotage their progress right when it matters most. It's not weakness. It's fear of what reaching your goal actually means, of who you'll have to become, of what you'll run out of excuses for. She also gets into what to do when the people around you aren't cheering you on and sometimes aren't even trying to hide it.This episode aligns with day 57 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.

Gina Livy breaks down the hormones behind why it takes 20 minutes to feel satisfied, and why that gap between eating and fullness is where the real rewiring happens.This is about why your brain will always prepare you for the worst-case scenario, what self-sabotage actually looks like after a really good day, and the real reason the wellness industry doesn't want to have this conversation.This episode aligns with day 52 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

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. Plus, they get real about the most common pushback: I'm too busy for this. The answer might change how you think about how much you value yourself during the day.This episode aligns with day 52 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

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.

Your brain will lie to you. Your gut won't. In this episode, Gina Livy and Odette get into the real reason the scale going up after a meal isn't weight gain and why the words you use to describe it matter more than you think. They dig into the difference between "I gained weight" and "my weight is up," and how that shift in language can change the way you feel about your body entirely. Plus, they also unpack what it means to be intentional about where your energy goes this week, and how to start learning to trust yourself through a summer that looks nothing like the last one.This episode aligns with day 50 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

You've done this before. You know it works. So why does getting back on track feel like starting over every single time?Today, Gina gets honest about the cycle of losing momentum, falling off and the guilt that follows. She breaks down why the goal was never just a number on the scale, why your relationship with food is more complicated than any meal plan can fix and what it actually takes to stop white-knuckling your way through and start showing up for yourself for real.From the truth about the scale going up after pizza (it's not what you think), to why GLP-1s won't do the work your mindset has to do, to the the one conversation nobody warned you you'd need to have with yourself.This episode aligns with day 50 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.
