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!

In this week’s episode, Gina checks in live from St. Lucia and brings the focus back to mindfulness, specifically, what it means in maintenance. Gina and Odette reflect on how members have evolved since their weight loss journeys and highlight the importance of reconnecting to physical cues of satisfaction. Drawing from real member experiences, they unpack how easy it is to slide into eating out of habit or emotion, even with healthy choices, and remind listeners that the four questions of mindful eating are just as relevant now as they were during weight loss. This episode offers a powerful reminder that maintenance isn’t coasting—it’s conscious, consistent effort rooted in self-awareness and trust.

In this episode, Gina unpacks what mindfulness really looks like in your weight loss journey—spoiler alert: it’s more than pausing before you eat. She explains how tuning into your body's cues helps you ditch outdated food rules for good. Listeners learn how to face indulgences without guilt and use them as growth moments, not reasons to quit. Gina also clarifies what to do when the scale isn’t moving, including how to decode satisfaction and stay out of the all-or-nothing mindset. She reminds us that maximizing doesn’t mean being perfect but showing up with intention. Plus, she sets the record straight: exercise is not required to lose weight. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating real life while working toward real change.

In this episode, Gina pulls back the curtain on what’s really going on when the scale won’t budge—and why that’s not just normal, but necessary. From reframing plateaus as signs of progress to understanding the real impact of stress, sleep, and hormones, she challenges the typical diet mindset and calls on listeners to get honest, stop blaming the scale, and start taking ownership of their journey. Whether you’re brand new or coming back for another round, this is a reminder that weight loss is as much about mindset as it is about meals. Gina shares tough love with compassion, empowering the Livy Community to stop fixating on numbers and start showing up like the version of themselves they’re working to become.

In this guest expert episode, Gina Livy sits down with Sandra Elia to unpack the deeper truths behind food addiction and emotional eating. From the moment you reach for food, Gina challenges listeners to ask, “What’s my intention?”—because real change starts with awareness. Sandra shares how food can shift from fuel to emotional survival, offering comfort, connection, and control, especially in the hardest moments. They discuss how ultra-processed foods hijack hunger cues and keep you chasing satisfaction that never comes. With raw honesty, Sandra opens up about how recovery isn’t a one-time fix—it’s a daily practice built on structure, self-awareness, and resilience. They explore how recognizing early relapse patterns can prevent spirals, and how love, not shame, is the real catalyst for sustainable change. If you've ever felt like you're “failing,” this episode will remind you: you're not failing, you're learning.

In this guest expert episode, Gina Livy and Naturopathic Doctor Paul Hrkal break down the real talk on supplements—not to sell you products, but to help you understand why they can matter when your body’s starting from depletion. They unpack using supplements as tools to support better sleep, energy, digestion, mood, and metabolism. It’s not about quick fixes—it’s about creating the best environment for your body to feel safe to let go. They also take on the all-too-common “I’m doing all the things, why isn’t the scale moving?” frustration, reminding listeners that weight loss is about more than the number. It’s about building a body that functions at its best.
