Liv Lighter with Gina

Holiday season is coming, and if you've lost weight, it can stir up more than the food: family opinions, old roles, grief, and the urge to control everything. Gina Livy and Odette talk through how to keep the weight off without turning it into a full-time job, from the boring basics that keep working to why "accountability" doesn't have to mean beating yourself up.

You'll hear how to rewire old food habits through repetition, how to indulge in a different way (slower, more present, no guilt), and what to do when family brings out the old version of you.

This podcast aligns with Day 24 of our Fall Maintenance Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Maintenance and Mindfulness Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulness

Gina and Dr. Trejo talk about what happens when your stress outpaces your capacity to recover, and why that hits harder in perimenopause and menopause. They get into loneliness, social media overload, the "doctor says it's not your cortisol" frustration, and why doing less often works better than adding more. You'll hear which supplements have research behind them, which popular ones don't, and a simple breathing reset you can start today.
This conversation is educational, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplement, especially if you take medication.

Two sleep experts. One question for nine o'clock on a Tuesday morning: what do you do when you're exhausted, overwhelmed and your brain won't switch off?
Gina talks with Dr. Beverley David, a clinical psychologist who has been teaching insomnia treatment since 1998, and Alanna McGinn, a sleep, stress and divorce specialist. They cover why rumination wrecks sleep, how to break the worry loop with small tools like a word or a giraffe, why moving your body matters more for sleep than for burning calories, and the habits that quietly sabotage midlife sleep.

You've done the weight loss. So why is your brain still negotiating with a bag of chips at 8PM? Gina and Odette get honest about food noise, why chasing a "cure" misses the point and how a simple pause can change how you respond to it. You'll also hear why mindfulness isn't extra work, what to do about food noise on medication, and a real conversation about letting go of the urge to fix everything for everyone, yourself included.

Your weight can swing several pounds in a single day, and most of it has nothing to do with fat. Today, Gina Livy explains why the scale often goes up right before it goes down. She covers how sore muscles, water retention, a late night, and a weekend of chips can all move the number. She also explains why weighing yourself once a week hides the pattern you need to see.

Then she gets honest about food noise: the constant calorie math, bargaining, and guilt that can run your whole day. She walks through how the four mindful eating questions and a "capture, cancel, correct" reset can interrupt it. If you're losing weight in midlife, or trying to keep it off, this is the reality check on plateaus, hormones, and inflammation that most diets never give you.
