The Livy Method Podcast

In this episode, Gina welcomes Dr. Jennifer Zelovitzky, a certified menopause provider and clinical director at MedCan, for a real and refreshingly honest conversation about what’s actually happening in menopause, and why so many women feel caught off guard by it. They unpack how symptoms like sleep disruption, brain fog, and weight gain often get blamed solely on hormones, when it’s really the whole aging process at play. Dr. Jennifer breaks down the difference between perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, while highlighting how lifestyle strategies, like managing stress, improving sleep, and staying consistent with healthy routines, can make all the difference.

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!

This week, Gina and Odette get real about the fear of change and the trap of doing the same things over and over, especially when they’re no longer working. Drawing on a powerful member comment, Gina reflects on her own struggles with stress, grief, and denial, and the moment she realized knowing what to do wasn’t enough, she had to do it. From shifting routines to addressing deep emotional triggers, Gina and Odette break down how life, hormones, and old habits can sneak up on you, and why staying the same is sometimes the very thing standing in your way.

In this episode, Gina sits down with women's health and fitness expert Amanda Thebe, author of Menopocalypse, for a refreshingly candid conversation about fitness, menopause, and everything in between. With so much noise out there (zone this, fasted that), Amanda brings it all back to basics. They explore how movement should be accessible, enjoyable, and meaningful, especially for women navigating perimenopause and postmenopause. From calling out fitness myths to sharing laugh-out-loud moments about menopause parties and vibration devices, this conversation is real, relatable, and packed with no-nonsense advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed by all the “shoulds” when it comes to moving their body.

In this episode, Gina is joined by Dr. Paul Hrkal to talk all things supplements, what’s worth taking, what’s not, and how they actually support weight loss in the context of The Livy Method. It’s not about magic pills or fat-burning fads. Instead, Dr. Paul breaks down how foundational supplements like vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3s play a role in helping the body function at its best, especially when it’s working hard to release fat. The conversation touches on common deficiencies, the importance of digestion, and why supplements are meant to complement, not replace, the work you’re already doing on The Program.
