The Livy Method Podcast

In this episode, Gina and Dr. Beverley focus on the mental and emotional challenges of weight loss, starting with why making change feels so hard and how to tackle beliefs that keep us stuck in old habits. Dr. Beverley breaks down the role of negative automatic thoughts and how honouring your feelings can help you show up for yourself. They discuss the ups and downs of the scale—not as a measure of self-worth, but as a tool for long-term progress—and explore why it can be hard to trust the weight loss process, especially if you’re holding onto past dieting trauma. Using learning theory, they uncover why certain behaviours feel impossible to change and highlight the power of small, consistent actions to create sustainable results. Dr. Beverley also shares insights for members without a diet history and tips to identify patterns that might be holding you back.Dr. Beverley is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario.
