The Livy Method Podcast

Food is one of the last places culture still lives. It's how your family said I love you, how traditions crossed oceans, how a recipe outlived the person who wrote it down. Gina sits down with Capri Cafaro, radio host, TV personality, creator of the Emmy-nominated PBS series America the Bountiful and author of United We Eat, who has spent years travelling North America collecting the stories behind what people grow, make and pass down. Why food is the strongest keeper of cultural memory we have. What Indigenous food sovereignty teaches everyone about eating well. Why knowing who grew your food changes how you eat it. And what gets lost when a meal becomes a calorie count instead of a story. Plus the reason slowing down at the table might matter more than anything on it.

If the weight crept back on this summer, nothing is broken, your routine changed, and your body followed.

Gina unpacks why weight regain after 40 has less to do with willpower than with the things that quietly shifted: longer days, later dinners, less water, less sleep and old habits that never fully left. She gets into set point range and why your weight was always meant to move within a 5–10 pound window, why "A-type" people crush weight loss and then struggle in maintenance, and what food noise actually is, including what GLP-1 medications do to it and what they still can't do for you.

You look like you have it all together. Inside, you're wondering how much longer you can keep this up.
Mental health professional, award-winning speaker and author Calissa Ngozi joins Gina to talk about burnout in midlife and why exhaustion became a badge of honour, why rest comes wrapped in guilt, and why so many women only recognize burnout in everyone else.

One thing you can change today: give yourself permission to pause.
Because you can't take care of anyone else if you're not taking care of yourself.

From your first period to well past menopause, it's the same set of ovaries calling the shots, and almost no one ever explained what they're actually doing.
Gina sits down with Dr. Sony Sierra, one of Canada's leading fertility specialists, for the conversation you can't get in a ten-minute appointment. Why "just lose weight" was never the real answer. What twenty years of losing and regaining does to your hormones. Why the way you lose weight matters more than the number. And why the hardest part of menopause is that nobody warned you. They also talk the PCOS name change, GLP-1s and fertility, and what the research says about plastics.

Have you ever heard your own voice climb an octave mid-sentence and wondered who that was? Voice coach, musician and author Lucy Walsh joins Gina to explain why you sound different depending on who's in the room and why it's a survival tactic you learned a long time ago. They get into hiding in plain sight, why overcompensating to fill an awkward silence is a way of abandoning yourself, what comes up when you finally stop shallow breathing and drop into your body, and why "releasing" the old versions of you doesn't work.
Gina opens solo on a morning where nothing went to plan: a printer that quit, a live stream that wouldn't start, and a missing guest, yet it becomes a do not miss conversation about how to stop hiding from yourself.
