The 4 Main Reasons Why Your Weight Might Be Slower to Move Part 2 with Dr. Paul Hrkal - Spring 2025
In this thought-provoking episode, Gina and Dr. Paul Hrkal go beyond food and fitness to unpack what’s really going on when weight won’t budge—even when you’re “doing everything right.” They explore how gut health and the microbiome influence more than digestion, touching everything from cravings to hormones. They also get into SIBO, gallbladder removal, and stubborn bloating—and why these symptoms matter. The conversation shifts into insulin resistance and how it can stall progress long before any diagnosis. Plus, they break down the connection between stress, hormones, and weight loss, especially through perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Paul wraps with five simple, practical steps you can take right now—and the real takeaway? This journey isn’t about being perfect. It’s about getting curious, tuning in, and recognizing that your body is on your side.Where to find Dr. Paul:Instagram: @drpaulhrkalwww.paulhrkalnd.com If you are in the Spring 2025 Support Group, you can check out the full video here:www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2025 Hosted on Acast.

The 4 Main Reasons Why Your Weight Might Be Slower to Move Part 1 with Dr. Paul Hrkal - Spring 2025
In this episode, Gina and Naturopathic Doctor Paul Hrkal unpack what it means to feel stuck on the scale even when you're doing “everything right.” They explore how chronic, low-grade inflammation—triggered by stress, processed foods, disrupted sleep, or food sensitivities—might be silently sabotaging your progress. From feeling puffy or sluggish to navigating the sneaky impact of “healthy” packaged foods, they walk listeners through the subtle signals your body sends when it’s working through internal stress. Dr. Paul also highlights the importance of sticking to the basics before jumping to tests or supplements, and invites a real-talk reflection on alcohol—how it affects your sleep, stress, and fat loss more than you might think. Finally, a reminder to the community: mindfulness isn’t just about food, it’s about every choice you make. A must-listen for anyone needing a mindset reset or wondering what else might be going on behind the scenes.Where to find Dr. Paul:Instagram: @drpaulhrkalwww.paulhrkalnd.com If you are in the Spring 2025 Support Group, you can check out the full video here:www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2025To learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com.
