Liv Lighter with Gina

Maintenance isn’t the finish line. It’s where the work gets personal. Gina Livy and Odette talk about what keeping weight off really looks like for women in midlife: trusting how you feel over what the scale says, giving your weight a range to move in instead of a number to defend, and letting go of the weight you carry that was never physical. That last idea is the heart of Gina’s new book, Liv Lighter, which is now available at Indigo.ca.

Sandra Elia talks about her food addiction and how She gained 100 pounds, while it had nothing to do with hunger. She was eating to numb herself.

Today Sandra is a certified food addiction counsellor and the author of Never Enough: Three Pillars of Food Addiction Recovery. She also runs an outpatient food addiction recovery program in medical clinics across Canada. She and Gina talk about how ultra-processed food is built to overwhelm your brain’s reward system, the difference between eating food and using it, and how to plan for your high-risk times of day. They also cover what GLP-1 medications can’t do on their own, why “I just have to stop” is the wrong answer to a craving, and what to ask yourself instead.

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.
