Liv Lighter with Gina

Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined, yet most women say their doctor has never brought it up. Dr. Olinca Trejo, a naturopathic doctor and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, explains why heart risk climbs after menopause and why women’s symptoms often look nothing like the movie version of a heart attack. She also names the one cholesterol test worth asking for.

Gina and Dr. Olinca also cover what hormones mean for weight loss in your 30s, 50s and 70s, why HRT won’t make you lose weight, and what to do if you’ve been told you’re too old for hormone therapy.

When you feel stuck, the instinct is to add more: another rule, another habit, another item on a list of 103 things you’re “supposed” to be doing. But sometimes the missing piece isn’t what you think, sometimes it’s connection.

Gina Livy and Odette talk about how loneliness in midlife can quietly pull you back to old habits, including turning to food for comfort. They get honest about how hard it is to make friends after 40, why so many plans get cancelled, and what actually helps: starting small, following through, and letting your friendships change as you do.

How many photos have you sat out because you were waiting to lose the weight first?

Gina Livy gets real about something so many women over 40 do: putting life on hold until the scale says we’re ready. That means skipping the family photo, dinner with friends, even date night because of the bread basket. She talks about why fear of success can stall weight loss right when it starts working. You need to know self-love was never supposed to depend on a number.

She also shares what she got wrong when menopause and stress hit her midsection. She tightened up her eating and talks about what she really needed to do. You don’t have to do everything to make progress. Showing up counts.

Which supplements are actually worth taking? And why do so many people lose hair while they’re losing weight?

Naturopathic doctor Dr. Paul Hrkal joins Gina Livy to walk through the five foundational supplements he considers safe and effective for most people. Then he breaks down six common causes of hair loss, and why an expensive hair gummy may not fix what’s really going on.

You lost the weight. You’re eating well. So why is the food noise still so loud at 9 PM?

Guest Jenna Jones, a social worker and psychotherapist turned coach who specializes in food noise, joins Gina Livy and Odette to unpack what’s really going on. Her take: food noise is information. Sometimes it’s hunger. Sometimes it’s a food rule that doesn’t fit your life. And sometimes it’s grief. When food has been your comfort for decades, losing it as a coping tool can feel like losing a friend.
