Liv Lighter with Gina

More Protein Won't Fix It. Here's What Will. Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

You've been told to eat more protein, exercise more, and just try harder. But what if the advice you've been following is exactly what's keeping you stuck?

In this episode, Gina Livy gets honest about the protein craze, why a calorie is never just a calorie, and what your body actually needs to focus on fat loss. She talks supplements, sodium, electrolytes, and why your doctor probably wasn't trained in any of this. Plus, if life has thrown you a curveball this season, a surgery, a setback, a body that doesn't feel like yours right now, Gina talks about how to meet yourself where you're at without losing sight of where you're going.

This is the conversation your GP isn't having with you. We will though.

This episode aligns with day 44 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program. You can find the full video hosted at: www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026

Stop Punishing Yourself Into Change Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

Self-criticism feels productive. That's the trap.

In this episode, Gina Livy and Maintenance group manager Odette get honest about what really happens when your plan doesn't go the way you thought it would and why beating yourself up about it isn't accountability, it's just a different kind of avoidance.

They discuss what it actually means to show yourself compassion without using kindness as an excuse to stop doing the work.

Show notes

Six weeks in, doing all the things, and still frustrated? You're not alone, and you're probably not doing anything wrong. Today, Gina Livy gets honest about why "doing more" is rarely the answer, how seasonal changes affect your body's signals and what it actually looks like to listen to what your body needs right now. Plus: the real reason weight comes back, how to navigate situational change without falling back into old habits, and why loneliness might be the missing piece in your health journey nobody talks about.

Stop Optimizing Yourself Out of Living May 28, 2026

Show notes

Gina Livy sits down with Kyle Buchanan, wellness contributor on Global's The Morning Show and host of Feel Goodery and The Exhale on SiriusXM, and they do not hold back. From salmon sperm facials to scream clubs, they cut through the noise of so much modern wellness "wankery" to talk about what actually may help you. The conversation gets to the core of nervous system burnout, why grief goes unacknowledged, what it means to finally stop editing yourself for everyone else, and why the most radical thing you can do right now might be to exhale longer than you inhale. No optimization required.

You're not afraid of the dessert. You're afraid of who you used to be. May 27, 2026

Show notes

You cannot go back to the exact same life that created the version of you you're trying to change. That's the uncomfortable truth Odette and Gina Livy puts on the table in this Midweek Motivation.

This one digs into what consistency actually looks like when it's working (spoiler: it stops feeling like effort), how to stop white-knuckling your way through social situations and dinners you didn't plan, and why the fear of eating off-plan has nothing to do with the food itself.

Your Body's Default Mode Is Health. Do You Believe That? May 27, 2026

Show notes

You've been eating right, taking your supplements, showing up every day, and the scale still isn't moving the way you hoped. Dr. Paul Hrkal is back with Gina Livy, and this time the conversation goes deeper than food. He walks through the blood work your family doctor probably isn't running, the four hormonal systems that silently stall fat loss, and why inflammation, gut health, and mindset are all part of the same story. But the real pivot in this episode? The idea that your body's default setting is health, and what it actually takes to believe that. If you've been blaming your body, this one will change the way you talk to yourself.
