Liv Lighter with Gina

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.

“Aging gracefully” never sat right with Melissa Grelo. The longtime co-host of CTV’s The Social and host of the Aging Powerfully with Melissa Grelo podcast joins Gina Livy to talk about menopause, midlife, and why this is the stage to stop shrinking and start taking up space.

They talk about finding your voice after decades of people-pleasing, and why speaking up is a muscle that gets stronger every time you survive the pushback. Melissa calls herself a recovering perfectionist. She shares how she let go of all-or-nothing thinking about exercise and why she calls strength training the real fountain of youth. She also lays out the red flags of menopause misinformation online, why “boring” basics still work, and why all you really need is one good friend.

Melissa is hosting the National Menopause Show on October 17–18 at The International Centre in Mississauga, where you'll also find Gina and friends!

What would you learn if you ate a few bites less at every meal for one week? Gina Livy and Kim walk through a simple portion experiment. It’s built to help you recognize the moment you’ve had enough, which is one of the most useful skills for midlife weight loss and for keeping the weight off.

They talk about why so many people would rather serve themselves less than leave food on the plate. They cover how food waste, grocery costs and fear of hunger keep you eating past full, and Gina gives a blunt reminder that your body is not a garbage can.

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.

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.
