This week, Gina and Odette keep it real about those heavy, grey March days when motivation feels low, and the sun seems nowhere to be found. What starts as a candid chat about feeling off turns into a powerful reminder about the role light, connection, and perspective play in our mental and emotional well-being. Gina shares a personal story about intentionally seeking out moments of joy and connects it back to the bigger work members are doing in their journeys. It’s a thoughtful, relatable discussion about checking in with yourself, finding small sparks of positivity when life feels heavy, and remembering that even in the toughest seasons, the light is always coming back.

In this episode, Gina reminds that on the days when motivation is low, consistency is especially key. She explains why routine and even a little boredom can actually be a sign that healthy habits are becoming automatic, making it easier to keep showing up for yourself despite life’s stressors. Gina also introduces a game changing reset tool for getting 'back on track' after bigger indulgences rather than small slips on your way to your goals.

In this episode, Gina sits down with naturopathic doctor Dr. Paul Hrkal to talk about the very real “winter blues” many people feel as the seasons shift, especially in places like Canada, where dark days and unpredictable weather can take a toll. Together, they explore how light exposure, circadian rhythms, and seasonal changes affect mood, energy, and overall health. Dr. Paul also shares practical ways to support the body during this transition, from getting outside for natural light to considering immune-supporting adaptogens like medicinal mushrooms and herbs traditionally used during seasonal shifts. The conversation is equal parts science and practical advice, reminding listeners that improving health doesn’t happen through quick fixes, but by staying curious and building supportive habits one step at a time.

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!

Today, Gina, Odette, and Kim keep it real about those “wonky” weeks when life, time changes, weather shifts, and everyday stress can leave you feeling off. They talk about why progress, especially in maintenance, isn’t about waiting for life to calm down but learning how to show up for yourself anyway. Through honest reflection and a few laughs, the conversation circles back to personal responsibility, mindset, and the power of self-regulating your thoughts when things feel messy. The reminder is simple but powerful: there will always be something going on in life, but your choices still matter, and every day is another opportunity to keep moving forward.

Join Gina and Program Manager Kim as they break down and dig into the tweak we see in week 9 of The Livy Method.

The Tweak This Week? Food Plan Revamp

In this episode, Gina Livy and Kim reflect on the realities of showing up for your health even when life feels messy, from time changes and lack of sleep to nagging neck pain and busy family schedules. They share candid moments about navigating those everyday challenges while staying committed to the process, before shifting the conversation to the deeper science behind the weekly tweaks in The Program. Gina explains why weight loss isn’t simply about eating less and exercising more, highlighting how hormones, different types of hunger, and strategic food choices, like prioritizing protein and healthy fats, work together to support satiety and help the body release fat more effectively. Finally, before signing off, they answer a few members' questions about the Food Plan Revamp.

Ok, straight up, this is a good one. Today, it's Gina with clinical psychologist Dr. Beverley David for an honest conversation about why people often feel stuck during a weight loss journey and what to do about it. Together, they explore the psychological shift that happens when the early excitement of change fades, and the process becomes part of everyday life. Rather than seeing plateaus or boredom as failure, they reframe them as a sign that habits are beginning to move from discipline into identity. The discussion highlights the mental side of sustainable weight loss, encouraging listeners to trust the process, stay curious about their patterns, and recognize that real change comes from showing up consistently, even when the novelty wears off.

Dr. Beverley is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. She also holds a Ph.D. in Sleep Research (Insomnia) and a Master's in Health Psychology.

Maintenance Mindset Mondays is all about cracking open the conversation about what REAL maintenance looks like – beyond the scale and deep into personal transformation. Join Gina and Odette as they dive into the week’s focus, share insights on all things maintenance, and answer your questions. Whether you’re new or experienced, there’s something for everyone!

This week, Gina and Odette focus on the role of awareness and self-regulation (and what that ACTUALLY means). As The Program evolves and snacks are adjusted, they explain how these changes help members move away from eating out of habit and toward paying attention to what their body actually needs. They encourage listeners to check in with themselves throughout the day and recognize personal patterns around hunger, routine, and timing. This conversation highlights that lasting weight loss comes from learning to trust your body, tune into its cues, and develop the self-regulation skills that support choices long after the program ends.

In this episode, Gina talks about why Week 9 of The Program is such a powerful turning point, as members begin learning how to personalize the plan while still following the structure that supports sustainable weight loss. She explains how the goal isn’t just to lose weight, but to retrain both the body and the brain so the results last. Gina also shares insights on conditioned hunger, food noise, and the importance of being intentional with habits, introducing practical tools like the mindful eating questions and the “capture, cancel, correct” mindset strategy to help members become more aware of why they eat and how they respond to triggers along the way.

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!

In this episode, Odette and Program Specialist Kim reflect on the unique energy inside the maintenance stage of the journey and why many of the same lessons from weight loss continue to show up in new ways. They talk about how hearing the same guidance over time can land differently depending on where someone is mentally and physically in the process, and why taking action on the information is what ultimately moves people forward.
