The Livy Method Podcast

In this episode, Gina sits down with fitness and aging expert Andrew Blakey to talk about resistance training for adults over forty and why building muscle is a key part of healthy aging. Together, they unpack the confusion so many people feel around fitness: where to start, what actually works, and how to make it sustainable without beating up your joints or dreading the gym. Andrew shares how simple, structured, at-home strength training can boost energy, support longevity, and complement the weight loss process, while Gina brings her real talk on mindset, intimidation at the gym, and cutting through the noise of trends and overcomplicated advice.

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!

In this episode, Gina and Odette shift the focus to what it really means to optimize and feed the metabolism, especially for those in maintenance. They break down why weight loss has never been about eating less and punishing your body, but about consistently giving it what it needs so it feels safe enough to let go of fat. From splitting up meals and snacks to eating to satisfaction and staying hydrated, the conversation reinforces that we feel our best when the body is supported, not stressed. Along the way, Gina challenges old diet culture narratives and reminds members that this process is about rebuilding trust with your body, strengthening your mindset, and creating the kind of metabolic momentum that makes maintaining your weight feel not just possible, but natural.

Join Gina and Program Manager Kim as they break down and dig into the tweak we see in week 7 of The Livy Method.

The Tweak This Week? Maximizing and Feeding the Metabolism
In this episode, Gina and Kim shift the conversation toward metabolism and what it really means to maximize your efforts in a sustainable way. They explain why weight loss is about more than just eating less and moving more, and how understanding your body’s patterns, habits, and triggers is key to getting your metabolism working for you, not against you. They also highlight the impact of seasonal changes on cravings and energy, breaking down how adjusting your food choices, like leaning into lighter meals and increasing fruit as the weather warms, can support metabolic function and help your body run more efficiently. The focus is clear: when you prioritize nourishment, digestion, and consistency, you create the conditions your body needs to release fat, regulate energy, and truly maximize your results without forcing or fighting it.

In this episode, Gina sits down with renowned nephrologist and bestselling author Dr. Jason Fung for a powerful conversation that challenges everything we’ve been taught about weight loss. Together, they unpack why the old “calories in versus calories out” model falls short and shift the focus to hormones, insulin, and how the body actually decides whether to store or burn fat. Dr. Fung shares insights from his new book, The Hunger Code, explaining the different types of hunger that drive us to eat and why sustainable weight loss has far less to do with willpower and far more to do with understanding how your body works. It’s a science-backed, myth-busting conversation that will change the way you think about food, metabolism, and long-term weight loss.

Maintenance Mindset Mondays is all about cracking open the conversation about what REAL maintenance looks like – beyond the scale and deep into personal transformation. Join Gina and Odette as they dive into the week’s focus, share insights on all things maintenance, and answer your questions. Whether you’re new or experienced, there’s something for everyone!

In this episode, Gina and Odette open up about grief, emotional set points, and what it really means to check in with yourself while navigating life’s hardest moments. After stepping away to be with her sister in her final days, Odette shares the complexity of loss and the importance of recognizing that grief can show up in many forms, including the loss of old coping mechanisms and past identities. The conversation weaves through the power of a daily “vibe check,” the impact of diet culture, and why sustainable weight loss is as much about mental resilience as it is about following a food plan.
