In this episode, Gina welcomes back Dr. Beverley David, clinical psychologist and longtime friend of The Program, for a powerful conversation about the mental side of weight loss. Together, they unpack the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) cycle and how our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and even physical responses can keep us stuck in old dieting patterns. Dr. Beverley offers clear, compassionate insight into why it can feel so hard to show up for ourselves—and what we can do to shift that cycle. If you've ever struggled with self-sabotage, doubt, or the mental tug-of-war that comes with weight loss, this one’s for you.

Dr. Beverley is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. She also holds a Ph.D. in Sleep Research (Insomnia) and a Master's in Health Psychology.

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!

In this episode of The Livy Method podcast, Gina and Odette reflect on the momentum building in Week 1 of The Maintenance Program. While some members are still settling into routine, many are already making big mindset shifts—especially around food choices, hunger cues, and confidence in customizing their plan. From embracing bonus snacks without guilt to challenging old diet thoughts that whisper "choose the light option," this episode is all about reconnecting to your body’s needs without the pressure of losing. It’s not just about what you’re eating—it’s about why, when, and how you’re responding to your body.

In this episode, Gina breaks down what's really going on when the scale won’t budge. She explains how detox is simply the body doing what it’s meant to do—working hard to release fat, not just weight. From restless sleep to cravings and bloating, she shares how these signals often show up before the scale moves. Gina also connects the dots between stress, poor sleep, and nighttime cravings, helping listeners better understand how their daily choices and habits play into hunger and fat loss. It's not just about the food, it's about everything else too.

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 unpack one of the most common misconceptions about the Maintenance Program: that it’s just “more of the same.” Gina challenges the idea that maintaining your weight is simply repeating what you did to lose it, explaining how maintenance brings a new level of self-awareness, identity work, and intentionality. They explore the difference between using Back On Track as a reactive tool versus proactively following the weekly tweaks in maintenance, and why routine matters more than perfection. If you’ve ever wondered how this phase supports both your mindset and metabolism—or if you’re questioning the purpose of repeating The Food Plan—this conversation will shift your perspective completely.

Gina Livy's Facebook Lives from The Livy Method Fall 2025 Support Group hosted on Facebook. This is a recording of the Day 8, 9 AM live. You can find the full video hosted at: www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodfall2025.

In this episode, Gina reminds listeners why they truly can’t mess this up. From weekends away to a few extra bites, she explains how consistent effort, not perfection, is what really moves the needle. She also gets real about how slip-ups like emotional eating or overeating aren’t failures, but moments to pause, reflect, and learn. Traveling? Busy schedule? No problem! Gina breaks down how life doesn’t have to derail your journey. It’s the little things done daily—like drinking your water, following the plan, and checking in that add up to real change. And if that scale’s bouncing? Gina’s message is clear: fat loss is a process, not a straight line, and the magic happens when you trust the process.

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!

In this episode, Gina and Odette catch up inside the Maintenance Group to celebrate Prep Week and reconnect with members making the shift from weight loss to weight stability. They reflect on the emotional high of seeing familiar names in the new space, and how meaningful it is to witness members stepping into their new identity as maintainers. Gina shares insights into the why behind repeating the Maintenance Program and encourages members to go beyond just following the food plan—this round is about digging a little deeper, leaning into intention, and building a life that reflects who you are now. They also touch on the power of habits in times of grief, staying grounded with routine, and how tools like Back On Track aren’t just about food—they’re about living life and navigating through it all with confidence.
