Maintenance & Mindfulness: Mindset Mondays - June 16, 2025 Jun 16, 2025

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!

In this episode, Gina and Odette explore the heart of habit formation during maintenance, asking the real questions: who are you now that you've lost the weight—and who do you want to be? They unpack what it means to reprogram your “automatics,” like how you respond to stress, hunger, and routine without even thinking. From flossing analogies to real-life reflections, the conversation taps into the shift from effort to identity— like how brushing your teeth isn’t just a habit, it’s what you do. It’s a thoughtful check-in on progress, purpose, and what it really means to LIV your life on the other side of weight loss.

In this, Gina reminds listeners that five weeks is more than enough time to see meaningful change—if you’re willing to shift gears. She encourages you to picture the version of yourself who’s already hit their goal and start aligning your choices with that future you. Splitting meals? It’s not just about food—it’s a powerful way to disrupt food noise and rebuild trust in your body. Gina also challenges the guilt loop around indulgences, reframing missteps as information, not failure. From hunger cues to mental shifts, this one’s all about progress over perfection. You’re not behind—you’re right on time.

She reminds listeners that momentum isn’t lost just because the scale is up or the week felt off. From using the weekend to reset (not unravel) to trusting the process even when it feels uncomfortable, this episode is a steady nudge forward. Gina also unpacks the meal-splitting tweak, how it challenges old diet patterns, and why showing up—even on a Friday—still matters. If you’ve been wondering whether any of it counts: it does. Today counts. You count. Let’s keep it moving.

In this energizing episode, Gina shares why the urge to move your body might be creeping back in—and what it actually means.

She also explains why the scale might go up while real progress is happening, and why waiting for motivation is a losing game. Gina brings her signature real talk on how action creates momentum, how splitting your meals this week helps you build trust with food, and why feeding the metabolism challenges old diet brain. Plus, a fresh perspective on movement: it’s not about punishment—it’s a celebration. If you’ve been stuck in your head or waiting for the “right time,” this is the episode you need.

Maintenance & Mindfulness: Midweek Motivation - June 11, 2025 Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!

In this episode, Gina and Odette check in on Week 7 of the Maintenance Program and explore the emotional undercurrent of finding your rhythm after weight loss. From the calm that feels a little too calm, to the subtle but powerful shift in identity—from dieter to maintainer—they unpack what it really means to normalize the ongoing work of maintaining your weight. They reflect on the confidence that comes with routine, the purpose behind the tweaks, and the often-overlooked reality that maintaining weight requires just as much intention as losing it. It’s an honest conversation about doing the work, even when the work looks different now—and why that’s not just okay, it’s empowering.

The Tweak This Week - Spring 2025 - Week 7 Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

Join Gina and Program Manager Kim as they break down and dig into the tweak we see in week 7 of The Livy Method.

The Tweak This Week? Feeding the Metabolism

In this episode, Gina and Kim break down the “split meals and snacks” tweak and why it’s a game changer for body awareness and food connection. From shaking up eating patterns to recognizing hunger cues, they explain how this simple shift helps the body work harder for its food—without eating more. They remind listeners there’s no perfect way to do this tweak and encourage them to work it into their own routines, not force it. They also address common questions like what to do when you're not hungry for the second half and why this isn’t forever—but what you learn from it just might be. Whether you're travelling, parenting, or juggling a busy day, this tweak isn’t about perfection, it’s about tuning in.

Thinking Traps & Compulsive Eating with Sandra Elia - Spring 2025 Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Gina and food addiction counsellor Sandra Elia break down the mental weight of weight loss—where real change begins with awareness, not perfection. They encourage listeners to start by simply noticing their patterns without judgment, leaning into curiosity over criticism. Sandra shares why mindset is the true driver of long-term results and unpacks common thinking traps like all-or-nothing thinking, disqualifying the good, and the ever-so-sneaky “I deserve a treat” logic. She also draws a clear line between planned indulgence and emotional eating, offering tools to redefine what a treat really is. Sandra also explores how your environment and the people around you can either support your growth or keep you stuck. This episode is a must for anyone ready to get out of their own way and start showing up with intention—from their thoughts to their food choices.

Midpoint Mindset with Dr. Beverley and Dr. Deena - Spring 2025 Jun 10, 2025

Show notes

In this inspirational episode, Gina sits down with Clinical Psychologist Dr. Beverley David and Learning Strategist Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer to unpack the mindset shifts that can transform your weight loss journey. From rethinking our relationship with SMART goals to shifting how we collect evidence of progress, they invite listeners to reframe success and show up for themselves in new ways. Midway through the program, motivation can dip—they normalize that, offering tools like Dr. Beverley’s REFLECT framework to help reconnect with purpose, manage frustration, and lean into struggle as a growth opportunity. With practical insights and real talk, this episode reminds us that structure—not just motivation—keeps us moving, and that reflection is where clarity (and change) begins. Tune in for a reset that’s more about intention than perfection.

Livy Method Day 50 - Spring 2025 Jun 09, 2025

Show notes

Gina Livy's Facebook Lives from The Livy Method Spring 2025 Support Group hosted on Facebook. This is a recording of the Day 50, 9 AM live. You can find the full video hosted at: www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2025

In this episode, Gina unpacks what it means to feed the metabolism—hint: it’s not about eating more or less, it’s about awareness. By splitting meals and paying attention to hunger and satisfaction cues, members are empowered to break habitual patterns and tune into their needs. She talks openly about those moments that feel less-than-perfect, highlighting how recognizing sabotage and emotional eating is actually a huge win. For those noticing they’re no longer hungry for the second half of their split meal? That’s a big insight, not a failure. Gina also acknowledges the mental noise that can creep in mid-program—pressure, doubt, comparison—and reminds listeners to stay connected and keep showing up. Navigating this tweak in social settings? She shares tips on how to pause, eat with intention, and still enjoy the moment. Plus, a reality check on portion size: if you’re satisfied, it’s enough. This episode is a reminder that growth isn’t just about weight loss—it’s about trust, consistency, and staying proud of the work you’re doing.
