Maintenance & Mindfulness: Mindset Mondays - March 9, 2026 Mar 09, 2026

Show notes

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.

Show notes

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.

Pelvic Health with Erin Degagne - Winter 2026 Mar 04, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Gina sits down with Registered Physiotherapist and pelvic floor specialist Erin Degagne to talk about a topic many people experience but rarely discuss: bladder leaks, urgency, and pelvic floor health. Together, they challenge the long-standing belief that peeing when you laugh, sneeze, or jump is simply a normal part of aging or having kids, and explain why it’s actually a common but treatable issue. Erin shares why so many women and men silently deal with symptoms like frequent urination or waking multiple times at night, how hydration and lifestyle changes can bring underlying pelvic tension to light, and why seeking support can make a real difference. This empowering conversation reminds listeners that they don’t have to live with these symptoms and that help is available.

Livy Method Day 58 - Winter 2026 Mar 03, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Gina shows up in real-life mode, reflecting on the pressure to be perfect and reminding members that progress comes from awareness, not checklists. She talks about why weight can come back, from slipping into old habits too quickly to not giving the body time to solidify its new set point, and breaks down common reasons the scale may be slower to move, including inflammation, gut health, sleep, and stress. She encourages listeners to do a daily “vibe check,” stay consistent with The Food Plan, and focus on learning their own patterns so they can trust themselves not just to lose the weight, but to sustain it long term.

Maintenance & Mindfulness: Mindset Mondays - March 2, 2026 Mar 02, 2026

Show notes

In this episode Gina Livy and Odette sit down for an honest conversation about what it really takes to keep going when the work gets real. Together, they unpack the pressure so many women have carried since their teens to shrink themselves and challenge the outdated diet beliefs that chip away at self-trust. The focus shifts to building belief in yourself, even on the days you feel off, and learning to be authentic and real about what’s coming up instead of pushing it down. It’s a grounded, relatable reminder that this journey is about showing up as you are, trusting who you’re becoming, and backing yourself every step of the way.

Livy Method Day 57 - Winter 2026 Mar 02, 2026

Show notes

In this kickoff to week 8, Gina reflects on what it really means to still be here and asks members to pause and take an honest look at how they’re feeling, physically and mentally, as they move through the messy middle of The Program. She speaks candidly about the temptation to “start fresh” instead of finishing strong, why weight loss medications don’t replace the deeper mindset work required for maintenance, and how real change comes from stacking small, consistent choices day after day. With relatable stories, including a humbling obstacle course experience and conversations around food noise, goal setting, and long-term health, she brings it back to the bigger picture: this isn’t just about losing weight, it’s about becoming someone who can sustain it.

M&M Live - Mood Support and Reset with Dr. Paul Hrkal - Winter 2026 Feb 27, 2026

Show notes

In this special M&M guest expert episode, Odette sits down with Dr. Paul Hrkal to explore how winter weather, light exposure, and shifting circadian rhythms can quietly impact mood, energy, and ultimately the choices people make around food and movement. From seasonal affective disorder to the science behind light therapy and those 10,000 LUX light boxes, the conversation highlights why feeling “blah” isn’t a lack of willpower but often a physiological response to shorter days and less natural light. Together, they connect the dots between mood, hormones, and decision-making, offering practical, research-backed strategies to help listeners protect their energy, support their mental health, and stay aligned with their goals through the darker months.
