The Livy Method Podcast

In this episode, Gina is joined by University of Ottawa Professor Dr. Ruth Kane, who is researching The Livy Method. Dr. Ruth kicks things off by explaining why member feedback is key to tracking true progress. She challenges unrealistic expectations around numbers, sharing the average weight loss per group, and reminding listeners that slow and steady is both normal and effective. She talks about habits that start to stick over time, noticing when old patterns quietly sneak back in, and why diets miss the mark by skipping the education and support we really need. Plus, Dr. Ruth weighs in on the role of medications, the gap they don’t fill, and how tuning in and trusting your body makes you the expert.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2025To learn more about The Livy Method, or to sign up for the Fall 2025 Program, visit www.livymethod.com.
