The Livy Method Podcast - Livy Method Day 58 - Winter 2026

Episode Date: March 3, 2026

In this episode, Gina shows up in real-life mode, reflecting on the pressure to be perfect and reminding members that progress comes from awareness, not checklists. She talks about why weight can come back, from slipping into old habits too quickly to not giving the body time to solidify its new set point, and breaks down common reasons the scale may be slower to move, including inflammation, gut health, sleep, and stress. She encourages listeners to do a daily “vibe check,” stay consistent with The Food Plan, and focus on learning their own patterns so they can trust themselves not just to lose the weight, but to sustain it long term.This is a recording of the Day 58, 9 AM live.

I'm Gina Livy and welcome to the Livy Method podcast. This is where you'll have access to all of the live streams for my 91 day weight loss program.

Well, this is the place. This podcast is hosted on ACAST, but it's available on all podcast platforms, including the one you're listening to right now, Spotify, Apple, and Amazon music. You will have to excuse me today.

I'm in like in a half-dress situation. I've got like workout on the top and business pants on the bottom. It's a something's got to give situation these days. It's either like work out, get yourself to or get yourself together. I know it could be both, but it for me it's not. It's like I'm adding something in and it's adding a bit of chaos, but I'm feeling it out. You know, one of the themes I'm feeling this week, there's a couple good ones. Some of you are hitting your lovis low. Some of you are really feeling things come together. Some of you are, of course, feeling frustrated. And, you know, for various reasons. And Kim sent me a bunch of questions and comments. I'm going to read out. A lot of people feel they need to really kind of be perfect with everything that they're doing. And I think that's just not it. It's not about like, I don't even know what is perfect. Like you are just perfect. Like you are just perfectly imperfect.

You are exactly where you need to be and that's perfect. Whatever you are thinking or feeling is perfect because it is what it is. You are where you are. And to me, this whole process is about really learning about yourself. It's interesting today. I'm working with Obesity Matters, the Obesity Matters organization, great people over there. And they're offering their yearly workshop where they have 24 free workshops. So twice a month, I think around the light lunchtime hour. Today it's at from one to two.

Absolutely free. Absolutely free. So if you're interested, make sure you sign up. You don't have to go to the sessions live. They will email them after the fact. There's so many brilliant people that it's a great organization. So they're so well connected with amazing, incredible people. Today I'm going to be talking with Sandra Alia, Sandy Vann, Alyssa Steinberg's going to be there. Like just, I'm just like, So it's a great resource for you. And I'm going to be there with all these incredible people. And I'm like, what am I here to offer? What am I here to offer?

Yeah, I created a weight loss program. Okay, yeah, it works. There's a system. There's a method that works. We know that works. That part isn't what excites me. I'm not an influencer. You know, those of you saw me post my like, like, the cleansing oil that I love.

If I post something, it's usually because I like it and I think people should know about it. I definitely don't look at myself. as an influencer. I wouldn't even say I'm like a motivator because I really believe that we need to figure out a way to motivate ourselves. It's great when you get that external motivation. This is why like I love our spill the tea conversation that's going to happen later today. I think it's more facilitating, facilitating community, facilitating space, maybe helping people understand in a different way, giving themselves compassion and trying to awareness. I think my I think my thing. I think my

is awareness, helping people be more self-aware so they can recognize where they're at and what they need. I've been saying that a lot lately. And that's what this process is about. It's not getting on yourself and ragging on yourself. It's not doing it perfectly. It's not a checklist. You can go through so many times people go through the checklist like check, check, check, check, check, check, lost my weight. Okay, good. And then in maintenance, that's where they're really struggling because they were so perfect about following that at some point life is going to hit you, something is going to come up and why do people gain weight back or why is it hard for people to lose weight? Let's talk about gain weight back first, right? So three main reasons. You don't

give your body time to adjust to your new weight. So the body needs time to create a new set point homeostasis around your new weight. So you reach your goal weight. And what do people do? They immediately go back into old habits. So it's going back into old habits that causes that weight to start coming back, not giving your body time to adjust to your new weight. That's why whenever you're on a plateau. That's like a plateau is a good thing. You lost weight, you're on a plateau. That's your body adjusting to your new weight. The other reason, number two, is situational change. So something in your life changes. Your work changes, your routine changes. You know, you experience grief or loss in your life. And why? Because then you go back into old habits as a way to cope, right?

The other one is not being mindful. It's not like you have to get up every day and be super mindful. But if you're not mindful about where you're at, what you need, choices that you're making, and how you're feeling, then why? Because you end up going back into old habits. And this is where you have got to learn when to eat, what to eat, and how much to eat, and be able to not just be in tune to that, but be able to trust that as well. Right. And then there's the reasons why your weight might be slower to move.

And some of you are starting to notice this, right? Inflammation is a big one. And yet you're not taking any supplements that can help omega-3, tamaric, right? Like there are things that you can take that can help with inflammation. Or you're not trying to get better sleep or remove your bodies in ways that can help. Food sensitivity. Some of you all know every time you eat dairy gluten, it bothers you, but you still continue to have it because, you know, right? No one wants anyone to have to cut out certain foods.

But your gut issue. So what's going on in your microbiome? How are your bowel movements? Are you getting enough fiber? Are you taking a probiotic, prebiotic? Do you have a history of taking a lot of like medication? or antibiotics, stuff that can mess with your micropom. It's a real thing.

It's a fancy word, but it's actually a real thing. And then the other one is hormones. We've talked so much about menopause in terms of hormones, but more so your cortisol and your insulin and your sleep and your hunger hormones and all of that. And what happens is when people are frustrated, they tend to just revert back into old habits, which just really make it worse, rather than taking the time to be like, okay,

what do I need? And that's that conversation made yesterday. Like how are you doing? And what I still see people, and I'll read these comments in a second, if you got any, let me know. Doing is just coming in and being like, I'm frustrated and not asking for help, not putting it out there. Like a lot of times people will comment in the group, they're not asking for help, but they're kind of like, they're kind of owning it in a sense. This is what's going on with me and it helps you kind of get out of your mind and out there. That's why things like journaling, right, setting your intentions each day, end of day reflections.

So many people did that in the beginning and the end of day reflections posts like it's so obvious because, you know, we had 1,000 people in the first couple weeks commenting on the end of day reflections and now we get like less than 100 every day, right? So it's not a matter of like doing things perfectly. It's a matter of okay, what, when my weight is moving, what am I doing and what am I not doing? What I could I be doing? So it's a matter of getting into that. I'm trying to figure out where, oh, there I go. There I am. Not sure if it's the omega's or

CBD or a 25 pound weight loss, but my knees have improved immensely in the last month or so. I love that. Right. And just taking that weight off, improving your joints, improving your decreasing inflammation, all of that's going to help it make a big difference, which is perfect because that's going to make a difference in the spring when, you know, the days start getting a little longer and the sun comes out. You're going to feel like you have a spring in your step. You're going to be able to be more mobile. It'll make a huge difference. Good morning, TMI, but I have been constipated for three days.

No such thing is TMI around here. Finally poop this morning after breakfast. No idea why. Strangely, up and down over three days, never had this issue before. So sometimes when we have this bowel movement post, we haven't talked about it in a while. This is why bowel movements, it's not TMI, because you're in the pursuit of change. You're going to notice your body changing, and this is like inner workings of your body. And so sometimes it will happen.

in is your body's just taking time to focus on your bowel movements. Like you could be a person who goes every other day. Then all of a sudden you're constipated for a few days and then your bowel movements come back online. Hi puppy. Your bowel movements come. See, oh, gorgeous coming. So hi. Do you see come and you never do that? Um, your bowel movements will come online and then you'll be like every day. And then maybe you'll have that's a constipation. Then you'll, then you'll be like a couple times of day, right? So changes in your bowel movement aren't necessarily a bad thing. It's also, or are a sign that anything is wrong or do anything. Normal to have like constipation leading up to a drop as well. And then you'll have those sort of looser bowel movements, once your weight starts to drop. It could be

dehydration too. Like we just have, we're in a cold spell right now. So when it's really cold out, our heat goes up. So we tend to be more dehydrated. It could also be off the heels of feeding the metabolism because your body can have a bit of delayed reaction where you're eating more often, depending on how often you're splitting up those meals and snacks, your body needs more water and able to process foods more often. Could be a variety of things. Could be a variety of things. Increasing your fiber also can help if you think it's like, you know, sometimes people go from making the food choices really nutrient rich to just kind of quick and easy and convenient falling back into that rather than, you know, making sure they're getting enough fiber.

and their diet, for example. So, yeah, calm helps. What you can do, magnesium helps. You can take it out the night, but also if you're having bowel movement issues, you can have it during the day too. So it works great with bowel movements because magnesium draws water into the bowel,

so that will help. And it helps at night in working with your melatonin production, but it's not a sleep aid. So you can split up the dose and do like a dose in the evening and the dose in the morning as well. I'm still annoyed that weight is up from the steak dinner.

I had Sunday night. I actually felt it would be down this morning. Damn scale. Maybe it was my workout. I did sleep well. Yeah. So red meat's harder to digest for sure. That probably messed with your sleep, even if you felt like you slept fine.

Workouts also, if your bodies were like inflamed. Also, don't forget. And this is why we did that post yesterday, revisiting. Is that yesterday or today? I'm forgetting. My body is so tired. My brain is fried. Every inch, my finger.

hurts still. Every inch of my body hurts from doing the workouts on the weekend. But don't forget, like, it's normal for your weight actually to go up before it drops as well. So your weight can be actually down and up at the same time. Like both, both can be true at the same time. So always, so if you're, everything is, you're doing everything. Make sure you're also supporting that body and detox. So getting the water in, trying to get your sleep, move your body, do all the things that you can. There. My ND, just check my blood work and put me on an adaption blend and apt my al-thene. This is really interesting. I saw, so there's a lot of conversation. We've been talking about adaptogens for a while. And we have some information. We talked about them

Dr. Paul, Dr. Alinka, and we have some information on them in our supplement post as well. You can just search that up in the AI. It's interesting because this morning I was reading a post. It was about a woman who's like a perimenopause educator and talking about Ashwaganda and how she, it was advised for her to take and then she went somewhere else and she just didn't feel good and, you know, she wasn't sleeping at night. And the woman was like, yeah, no, you like you shouldn't take that, whatever. And so this woman went on a rant about how you shouldn't be taking it and just don't listen to people. The thing is, this is why it's great to work with a natural pathic doctor. Because Dr. Link has shared with us like if you, Ashwaganda can be really great for kind of calming your

system down, which can be very helpful before bed, unless you're wired and tired. So unless your cortisol levels are jacked and you're like, you know, super tired during the day and really wired at night, you would be better off to take your asheraganda in the morning, right? It's a simple advice. But yeah, adaptogens can be, adaptogens can be great. If you are interested, and Elthienin is like my, you can pop Elthene in like candy. I love Elthene is from green tea extract.

It's fairly inexpensive and it's a great kind of like, I take that before bed as well, but I also pop those throughout the day just to kind of. And then, you know, it's interesting. I was talking to someone once who was like, I don't even know if they were helping. I'm like, do you feel a million times better? And they're like, yeah, I feel a lot better. Sometimes you don't know how these things are actually helping us until you take them and then you stop taking them. And you can see the difference. I'm in a mental plateau.

Hi, Marilyn. In my journal this morning I wrote, I will not engage in future tripping. Oh, thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about that today. But I refuse to trip over the past at the same time. I am proud of myself and all the parts of me. We are doing a damn good job. Yeah, you are. It's so hard. And this is, I kind of love this about the program because, you know, people have that high expectation in the beginning. And meanwhile, like, at the end is when you should have the expectation after you've been showing up, everything's coming together, building that momentum in tune, all of that. That's why like you, you, the fact that you're here, so many people are

really saying, oh shit, this is really starting to make a difference. Things are actually adding up and you can feel that vibe. So the end of the program here moving forward is where you should have those expectations that you came into at the beginning of the week. And yet at the end of the program, people always start to stress about the time they have left or don't have left. And this is always to me, I've been like, okay, but I've set the parameters of this program. I chose 91 days. I chose, the start date, the end day, you're following along, your body doesn't know a date. And you're going to have to keep going regardless, right? You have to keep going until you reach your goal. I just structured it in 91 day increments so that people can more customize the program. Someone might

only need one program. Someone might need 10 programs. But, you know, I just come from that gym background where they had that you have to sign it for a year, subscription service, and then they didn't want you to come and that working in gyms in the sales department really left an icky taste in my mouth. And as a personal trainer, I would sell like I worked in sales and I was also an aerobic constructor and personal trainer. And so I would get someone to sign up for a membership and then I would I would notice that they weren't coming. So I would be like, oh, I got to call them back and hey, how's it going? Because I usually if I signed someone up, I was the person who did the fitness assessment. And so I'd be like, hey, how you're coming out? And my management team would be like,

what are you doing? We don't want people to actually come. And I'm like, what do you mean? And they're like, well, if everyone who signed up to the gym actually came to the gym, we wouldn't have room for it. We don't want people. We want them to sign up, sign their gear contract and not come. Out loud. They said this to me.

And so I created a program and a process that people could sign up to, but more customize it. Now, of course, we have our subscription service, which you can sign up, cancel any time, after four months, which I really love. I think it's a good, as a good compromise. but it's I love the fresh start of every three months. I love the fresh start of every season. I think that's I think that's really beneficial for us. But you have to look at the big picture like you are, the step back big picture. It's just all part of it. Right. And it's really hard not to future trip. Well, what about this and what about that? And what's, you know, being in the moment takes a lot

of work. But everything that we're doing here is about being in the moment. Taking like setting your intentions in the morning. Right. What are you, what's, what's important to you that day bringing that to the forefront of your mind. Before I even get out of bed, I'd like do a harmonizing activity. So I kind of like feel my body, assess how I'm feeling, what's going on in my mind. Think about very loosely, generally, what I have going on that day with the vibe of my day is going to be sometimes it's calm, sometimes it's productive, sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's whatever it is. Always like everyone arrives alive safe. Like I'm, you know, if my kids have to travel or have to go anywhere and I just picture it all going very smooth.

if I got a big meeting or something like that. Journaling is all about being in the moment, taking time to ask those four sets of mindful eating questions. How is this portion for me? Am I even hungry before you sit down for your meal, put you in the moment in the now? So these are all just things that we do to try to be in the moment,

to live our lives today, not dip into the past and not future trip too much, you know? sometimes the weight of the future is just so heavy. So this was something that I've been spending a lot of time doing, just being in the moment day to day and not really putting any expectation on myself, except anything that's stressing me that is just not helpful today. I'm just not. And you know what's amazing is you really get in the habit of stressing

and communicating stress. And it was Chinese New Year where this was a bit of a turning point for me, Because on Chinese New Year, Chinese Lunar New Year, you really want to avoid, you want to spend time with family. You don't want to clean, right? You don't want to wipe or clean your good luck and good energy away. You don't want to shout and rag out your kids because that's just going to set the tone for that. You don't want to work, but you don't want to work too hard. And you don't want to complain.

You don't want to talk about negative things, stress, death, anything like that. And it was a lot of work to not, like, bitch about stuff, worry about stuff, complain about stuff. Like every time I went to do it, I was like, no, I got to save that for tomorrow. I got to save that for the next day. And I've kind of gotten into the routine. And what I realize is, gosh, there's a lot of verbalize and stress about that I really don't need to. It's almost like I was creating my own stress like cycle or drama cycle. And I before that, before my awareness came, I would have told you it's good to have an outlet and it's just I'm letting it out. I talk out loud. And it's my process and whatever. It's conditioning. It's conditioning on my brain. And so now I'm just like,

is that, do I really need to have that conversation? Do I really need to stress about this? Does that really matter today? And no, it doesn't. Do I really need to get all my kids about that? No, I'm just like, hmm, like it was my kid's birthday the other day and she was over and gosh, I could rag on her about so many things. She's 26 and, you know, she's got her issues and whatnot. struggles in life. And I was like, you know, I don't need to, today's not the day that I need to get on her about taking too many Ubers, looking for another job, figuring out what she's going to do with her life, making sure she's like eating healthier and, you know, taking her medications. And I don't really need to do that. I actually started. And I said, you know what, I don't, I don't need,

to get in. She's like, thanks, mom. Thanks. That's like really nice. You know, so that it's hard not to be, it's hard not to be in the past and it's hard not to future trip. And it has to be an intentional conscious choice. This is my new tip thing, right? You can change your brain, but it's not just by listening. It's by doing. You have to be intentional about catching your thoughts. We talked about this on the live last night.

You have to be intentional about catching your thoughts and recognizing where you are at and what you choose to do them. That's how you rewire that brain. On vacation, my bell movements have been great. At home, it's rabbit poo. Maybe you're drinking more water, eating more fruits, more veggies. Like, who knows? Maybe you're less stressed.

I've wanted ice cream every night for the past five days. I kept asking myself, what is it you need? I will make a tea instead. I feel so damn good. Down 2.6 pounds so far this round. My win is recognizing my feels and leaning to self-soothing without ice cream every night. Well, this reminds me of like kids and soothers, right? Like, what are they doing?

They're soothing themselves. And we're going to suck her thumb. I give me, maybe we can't if we want. God, my mind just went to a really bad place about sucking other things. But anyway, I digress and we're going to rewind on that. There's a lot of things we can do that are self-soothing, like, you know, drinking wine when it's just going to mess with our sleep, when we're really tired and we need to be like, we need to just address how tired we are and like get some sleep. So it helps our mind and keeps us calm. Sometimes it, you know, it's physical. You want the ice cream because you're just dehydrated. You want something sweet. Maybe you got triggered and saw that. but I love this. What do I need? What's going on with me? I do this whenever I'm like wanting alcohol.

That's sort of, you know, wine is, but it's not any alcohol. It's just wine. Because to me, wine represents sitting there with a glass, holding it. And then, you know, that's my me time. So yeah, good for you. That's your thing. That's y'all thing. This is my third round. My head isn't in the game this time, but I realize through stress and life, I just want to throw in the towel instead of feeling the feels. Okay. Yeah. So much easier. So much easier. Throw it in. Give yourself a break. Take a rest. Start again, maybe in April. Oh my God. That'd be so great. That's so great. So you know what's interesting about that. And I love that you mention this. I'm going to read the rest of what you said here. Why can't we just do some of it? I can't, you know what I mean? Why can't we just do some? Why doesn't that, like that counts? That counts. What is this about for you? Because this way, again, what I love the living method, right? Because you got to eat. You must well make it good. You got to sleep. It's going to help with everything. You got to manage your stress. So they don't have a heart attack.

You know, you got to move your body because you want to, you know, you got to move your body. These are all things. You've got to take time for yourself. Like these are, everything you do on the program is so beneficial for your health and your wellness. Longevity. If you're into that. Yeah. We're weight loss. of course, but that's what I love about it, right? Sometimes your Y can't be, and this is a great place to focus on that, right? There's a lot of education pieces. There's a lot of support. There's community.

It's like it's a great place to do that. But sometimes it's not about maybe you're, it's not about weight loss. It's not the motivator. Weight loss was your buy in, but your staying power isn't weight loss. And your way can change. Like your Y in this season of your life could be just getting up every day and doing your best. Right? Like, that's it. That's it. I would normally eat my way through this emotion, but I started again Monday and just showing up. And isn't that the truth? We just, it's so easy to

fall back into old habits and patterns because that is what's familiar with us. That's what we know. So when we want to break and it's so much, what do we, like, what can we do? What do I do? I usually like shut her down. I'm like, I'm like, I just need, I need some time. I like shut her down. I just like, I need to say, I can't. I cancel that meeting. I can't do this. I say no. I gotten better at saying no to things. Um, I find some quiet time. I just, I can't. I just know my threshold. And to me, I just need a minute. And when I fully take the minute to the best of my ability and give myself. So the thing is, you can take the time, but you also have to take the mental time. You can't also then be like, what's on with me? And I got

to do this and I feel guilt and all this like you're trying you're physically taking the time the downtime but your mind is still going on these things and so I've gotten pretty good realized when I hit like a breaking points and I just like I can't um like you know showing up if I'm going to add exercise this is how I started if I'm going to add exercise in my day something's going to have to give I can't my hair's going to look like this uh the butt you know like that's how it's going to be um and something has to give there. And that's where it's kind of like, okay, so what can we do to keep ourselves in the now and not go back? What can we give up to add some time for ourselves to keep us where we're at? What do we need and what can we give up? So we're not just adding more, right? We can't just add

more to the mix. Something's got to give. Something has to give there, you know? I would normally eat my way through the emotions, but I started again Monday and just showing up. I, you know, I really love this for you because what is, what is it about? What is it about? It's about working on and working through the thing, being self-aware, understanding how you got here, understanding where you want to go, working through the things, working on the things that you need to work on. In order to not, the lose weight part is the easy part. That's not it.

It's the maintain and sustain part. So you're losing weight now, but there's going to be times where your head isn't in the game of life. Right? Your head's just not in it. And then what's your go-to going to be, go and go back and revert to foods because you use food for coping or emotional. So the fact that you're recognizing this is so huge. And in order to work through this, you kind of have to experience this. I mean, you don't really.

There are studies that say if we can recreate it in our mind. And this is why I say, go back. So what I want you to do is go back here to where this feeling started. Was it triggered? What's going on physically in your body that you're dealing with? What's happening? What's going on in your environment, your work environment, your home environment? Like what's going on, you know, emotionally with what's happening around you?

What was like what was the trigger to get you going back into old? What was happening while you were using those coping mechanisms? How did you feel? Like we remember, oh, it gave us a break, but we don't remember physically. It made us feel like shit. And mentally it kind of, you know, we berated ourselves and punished. So if you can go back and people don't do this and this is rewiring your brain. This is being intentional about rewiring your brain.

You have to sort of see and have that, oh, yeah. Well, this isn't just me being weak sauce or tired. This thing happened to me. And then that thing happened to me. And then I had this and this had me feeling like this. And plus I, you know, it was, you know, so busy. I had that day where I was out and about, couldn't get my water in, dehydrate, or I had a few extra drinks, had that crappy sleep, helping that friend with this and this, and then that caused

me to, you can almost feel it welling up in your body. Like, you can feel the stress and the feels and welling up. And you're like, no fucking shit, Sherlock, I dip back into old habits. Right? Because that was the comfy place. That was the calm place. That was like, okay, I know that. even just for a second, I need that reprieve. So if you can connect the dots on that, then you're like, oh, okay. And then you're aware. It's like once you, you know those things, you know, once you see it, you can't unsee it. Like you don't know, you see those photos and you see something and you're like, oh yeah,

that, oh gosh, once you see it, you can't unsee it. This is kind of the same. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Now, there might be other times in your life where you kind of, you were like, oh, oh, yeah, here I go and you might fall back in that behavior, but you will be so aware of it that you can only put up with that for so long because you're so aware of it and you already made that connection, that's not working for you. Or that's what you did.

And then you can also take that visualization a step further and be like, what if I was at that breaking moment, that thing that happened, I chose this instead. So my workout today, my body is so sore. I can't, I'm not, I'm dwelling on this. this is where I'm at right now. My body is so sore, my fingers hurt. Like, if you missed it, I did an obstacle course on the weekend, then I went skiing, then I'm committing to movement no matter what.

And I'm making it a non-negotiable for myself. So last night I went to bed and I said to myself, I want you to think about and feel how great you feel right now. As much as your body hates you, it's screaming at you, you are so sore. Mentally, how are you feeling? And I'm like, I'm pretty proud of the fact. I feel pretty excited. about getting to a place where I'm going to walk with ease, more flexible, more strength,

more energy. I can keep up. I can do anything. And I, the best part is I'm not going to think about how I'm not doing enough every day because I'm going to be doing it. I really stress about what's going on in my brain and my brain health. And what is the number one thing you can do for brain health? Move your fucking body. Right? All the supplements, all the puzzles, all the learning different languages. You're not moving your body. Come on. So I'm doing it. That's why went to bed thinking about this morning when I opened my eyes and I was like I was like how are you going to feel after this workout and I just how are you going to feel after this workout you are going to feel like a rock star is it going to be hard yes do you want to do it no I do not I took me everything

I could just like I you know switch out my clothes and then I was like I got down there and I'm like I'm doing it doing it Tony even joined me my son who made a deal to join me this morning he bailed. I'm not going to get on them about that. I'm like, okay, you do you guy. I'm not going to make you work out. And then, but that's, and that's what I'm holding on to. That's what I'm holding on to. So a big, a lot of this is so much in our minds. So much of it is in your mind. So if you were in your mind and you were feeling feels and you have thoughts, strong thoughts, positive, negative, whatever, there's no such thing. They're just all thoughts. Good opportunity to learn. good opportunity to learn,

La Lawn fan Yeah, the Jim Carrey photos right now They put me in a weird conspiracy mindset yesterday You know what? I did that, I did that too I was like, what is going on? You know, there's a lot of conspiracy theories

There's a lot really to be concerned about There's, you know, God, there's wars There's so much shit going on out there It's so easy to get caught up in that And that's where you can say, I'm going to give myself X amount of time to focus on that. I'm going to go there. But then I'm going to like limit that time and give back. I don't know if it, I don't think it is him.

I think it's Jim Carrey because he was really big into conspiracy theories. I think that he's still hiding out somewhere and he sent an actor on his behalf. There's no way you can change your teeth and your nose and whatever. I think it's actually kind of brilliant. It's entertainment at the end of day. someone said I who's the one who said I should go go to the obstacle course in a year and see how you feel compared to this year. Hi, Sandy. First of all, hello.

I thought about this. And then Tony and I agree that we felt like we got out of, we were really lucky that no one got hurt on that. It was not, like, it was serious. I don't know what we thought it would be fun. It was so serious. I'm like literally, someone got taken away in a stretcher. Someone like busted their face and they were bleeding. I went to the bathroom.

We all went to their bathroom to wash our hands afterwards and there's blood. everywhere. I feel like I'm not going to press me in luck. I'm not going to press me a look. Maybe I'll do something else. It's like similar. Similar. I go to the gym I go to hosting a member potlock this Friday. I love that. I want to mess with everyone and bring the unhealthyest most delicious goodies I can find, place them beside the kale salad and see how people react. It's not a test, no judgment. It's just for my own sick amusement. Well, you know what be fun if you can actually make them in a healthy way. that looked absolutely delicious.

I mean, people should. People should. You're there to enjoy food, right? I can see how that would be for your own kind of amusement. I can see that. I can see that. I have to change my algorithm again to puppies and cats. Yeah, I know.

I will do that every now and then. I change mine and feel. Maybe I should have joined the early bird special for the next round. Spring is just around the corner and it would have been a fresh start. So, well, you still can, why can't you? you still do the program and it's a fresh start. See, that's the thing, right? And there's always people who are new will come in and be like, you know, if your program works so well, why do people sign up for more than one session? Well, it's not that it doesn't work. It's just people have to put more time.

It's not a quick fix. Some people, it is. Some people will do one program and be like, thanks. That was great. Amazing. See you later and move on to maintaining. Other people, it's more complicated. Life makes it more difficult. You know what I always find. And I, so here's the thing. too is a lot of times people don't feel worthy of signing up again because they feel like they should have done it the first time or they don't feel worthy or it's of value because they weren't able to do everything. Meanwhile, the value of the program would be thousands of dollars and literally you just listen, you come in the first day, you have access to the event, you just listen to like two guest segment, one guest segment and for $75, what, at the, even 99 with or 80 if you

sign up for the subscription service, whatever you end up paying for the program, it's worth it. It's like less than a dollar a day. And yet people will go buy a sweater. They will go to Uber Eats. They will like order stuff on Amazon. And don't get me wrong, I was broke ass. So don't come at me with the finance thing because I've been like so broke trying to feed my kids for five bucks. I know how that feels. But most people can easily afford a dollar a day to have this kind of access to health and wellness and to keep you on track and community and those so many things. But so many people feel like, oh, I could have done, well, I don't know. I feel like I should go it on my own.

And I'm like, why would you, why? Why would you go it on your own when you can be, have support and community and all those things? We're going to have our subscription service. So just because you miss paying full price doesn't like getting a $75 deal, you're not going to get it that low again. It's something we do as a give back for members or people who know they want to come back. But the subscription service is also really great.

I think that goes on sale Monday. So it's $20 a month. You pay $20 now and then you pay your next $20 like two months from now, the second month of the program, and then you can cancel any time after four months. So you can get the program for $80, cancel any time. With a subscription, you get support in between programs too. You get use of the AI and the app and all of that other stuff. So yeah, it's kind of how you're looking at it.

It's like you have to keep, you have to do something. something to keep you on track, keep you motivated, keep you going until you reach your goal, right? So this is kind of no difference in the way we structure it. Unlike Doria, keep starting, keep starting, haven't thrown in the tell yet. This round has definitely been better for me, and I'm more aware and more engaged in all the aspects.

I love this sense of awareness before I go. That's your pattern. That's what you do. You probably are always done that. And also, you probably started a shitty diet and then stopped it because you knew it was shitty. right like that's or you started something and then life made it difficult for you where you couldn't give it it couldn't be all or nothing so you had to give up something and that was that right and so

this is that awareness piece you're never going to achieve anything in your life if you keep giving up before you get there and you may not reach the gold star like you may not like reach the top of the mountain but you're going to get as far up as you possibly can and still have an amazing view I just made that up now. That was that was pretty good. You're here to learn about yourself. You want to make fucking change in your life. Okay.

What do you got to do to make change in your life? What are the thoughts that are feels coming up? That's your insight. That's the ticket. That's the magic. It's the hard work. It's the things that you're not doing. Right.

So this kind of realization, I would bet on you because you recognize that. Not because you're crushing it. It's the people who recognize where they're struggling. Because people are like one and done easy, peasy. I'll see you in the maintenance program. because that's where you're going to have a harder time because you would have been like, this was so easy for me at some point.

There was a reason why you gained your weight and you have to address those reasons, you know. It's a cool process. This is where you want to be curious. You want to have compassion, right? Like that's what is this for you? What is this season for you? And I love that there's a new season coming.

It's a good, it's a good. It's a good. It's good. Okay, I'm going to go. Oh, my. my God, my brain. Aaron de Gagne is joining us tomorrow. Pelvic health.
