  • In this Guest Expert episode, Gina and Dr. Olinca continue their deep and insightful conversation about hormones, metabolism, and weight loss. They break down how small, consistent changes can lead to big results, why women are more prone to thyroid issues than men, and the crucial role the thyroid plays in weight regulation. They also explore how metabolism works, the impact of growth hormones on muscle mass, and why stress and sleep are non-negotiables for insulin balance. Plus, they discuss the long-term effects of yo-yo dieting and why healing takes time. Stick around until the end as they connect the dots—how all the “unsexy” daily habits truly add up to real change over time.

  • This week, Gina and Odette are going all in! They’re talking about whether your hormones are traumatized (yes, that’s a thing), why trusting your body is just as important as giving it time to trust you back, and how reprogramming your thoughts, body, and mindset is the real game-changer. Respect the work you've already put in, because real change takes time—and you’re doing it. Feeling stuck? There’s always a way forward, and they’re breaking down how to find hope and shift out of the old cycle of doubt. Plus, fresh eyes and ears are key—sometimes you just need to hear things differently for them to finally click. They’ll also chat about how you're using the scale, choosing your focus between weight loss and maintenance, and give you a sneak peek at next week’s Food Plan Revamp tweak.

  • Join Gina and Program Manager Kim as they break down and dig into the tweak we see in week 8 of The Livy Method.


    The Tweak This Week? Maximizing and Feeding the Metabolism One Last Time

    In this episode, Gina and Kim talk about Feeding the Metabolism (one last time)—what it means, why it works, and how to make the most of it. They’re breaking down why weight loss looks different for everyone, the importance of tuning in to what’s normal for your body, and how to take full responsibility for your health and success. If the scale is bouncing or even up, that’s totally normal before a drop—so don’t stress! They’ll also unpack food noise, why feeling extra hungry doesn’t mean you need extra food, and how mindfulness plays a key role in portioning. Plus, get ready for a next-level tweak that builds on Feeding the Metabolism and sets you up for even more success.

  • Self-care isn't just about candles and face masks—it's about making time for yourself in ways that actually nourish you. In this episode, Gina is joined by the Founder of Bathorium, Greg Macdonald, to talk about creating space in your day for self-care, the real benefits of bathing with high-quality ingredients, and why self-care rituals don’t have to involve a bath at all. Plus, we’re busting the myth that baths are just for women—men, you’re invited too! We also chat about turning bath time into a moment of reflection and even a solo date night. The biggest takeaway? Be proactive about taking care of yourself—it’s not a luxury; it’s a necessity.

We’re looking at what happens when we indulge—no guilt, just learning, and why this week’s focus on downsizing (one more time) is more about mindset than meals. Those weekly tweaks?

Struggling with consistency? Let’s talk about what you can do. We’re also covering hydration habits, workplace food challenges, and making the best choices when options are limited. And if you’ve got questions about fasting or how natural sugars fit into the plan, Gina has got you covered.
