Liv Lighter with Gina Livy: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey
This Is Perimenopause: Menopause, Perimenopause and Women's Health in MidlifeShow Notes
We know Gina Livy as the weight loss expert. So when she told her community she was writing a book, we assumed we knew exactly what it would be about. We were wrong.
Liv Lighter: The Art of Living Well in Your Body, Home, and Mind is out September 8, co-written with home designer Lynne Knowlton and travel planner Norma Thiessen. It's a book about the weight women actually carry. The guilt. The permission we're still waiting for. The house we keep clean for people who aren't even coming over.
In this episode: Why weight loss is so much more than the numbers on the scale How your home is a wellness partner Why travel is about perspective, not sightseeing Why sleep and stress are the actual midlife levers Why Gina's back at the National Menopause Show in Toronto this October, and what she's moderating on the main stage
This conversation went places we didn't plan for, and we're keeping all of it.
