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 are on location, coconuts in hand, and focusing on staying present in Week 3 of The Program. They unpack the concept of mindfulness beyond just food choices, calling out how easy it is to go through the motions without actually checking in on what your body needs in the moment. Whether it’s being physically here but mentally five steps ahead, or making healthy choices that don’t actually feel right, they explore what it means to settle in rather than slide into autopilot. It’s a candid, layered chat about body awareness, emotional check-ins, and building trust with yourself as you continue your journey.

In this episode, Gina focuses on the importance of mindfulness over micromanaging when it comes to portions, progress, and patience with the process. It’s not about numbers on a plate—it’s about whether you’re truly satisfied in the moment. She explains why sustainable fat loss is more than just seeing the scale move, and how tuning into your body, slowing down at mealtimes, and trusting your instincts are all part of the mental shift that makes lasting change possible. If you've ever wondered what progress actually looks like or felt unsure about your portions, this conversation is for you.

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!

Yes, the work is different, but it’s just as meaningful. From shifting the narrative around success to recognizing that this is the win, this episode brings hype and heart... and a lot of f-bombs to the halfway mark of the week.

In this episode, Gina is joined by Naturopathic Doctor Paul Hrkal to break down the real role of supplements—what they do, why they matter, and how they can help support your overall health, especially when weight loss is the goal. From magnesium's impact on sleep and inflammation to the powerful relationship between vitamin D and fat metabolism, they unpack how strategic supplementation can fill in the gaps that food alone may not cover. Gina and Dr. Paul also touch on the brain-boosting, fat-balancing benefits of omega-3s, the energy-enhancing effects of creatine (once your basics are in place), and how B vitamins support the body’s natural detox process. This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about giving your body what it needs to feel its best.

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 shares a raw and honest account of a turbulent weekend that shook her—literally. After experiencing a terrifying mid-air scare on a flight, she opens up about reverting to old coping habits, including drinking and eating off-plan. But instead of spiralling, Gina uses this moment to spotlight the messy middle of maintenance—the space where life throws curveballs and the “new you” is still learning to catch them. She and Odette unpack what it really means to support your new identity, how to sit with hard moments without letting them define you, and the power of self-awareness to pull you back to centre. A grounded conversation about grace, growth, and not needing to be perfect to keep moving forward.

In this episode, Gina builds on the basics and gets real about what it actually means to keep showing up and stay consistent with your goals. She kicks things off by reframing boredom as a positive sign—proof that routine is setting in and your body is starting to respond. Then it’s all about maximizing: how your food choices work together to support fat loss, why nighttime eating might not be about hunger at all, and what signals to look for when your body’s in detox mode. Plus, she breaks down the concept of food noise and how simply noticing it can help you shift it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this episode, Gina breaks down why consistent effort—not perfection—is the real game-changer. From showing up even when life gets in the way to using guidelines over rigid rules, she reminds listeners that every small step adds up. She details why routines like lemon water and checking the app matter more than you think, and how each round of the program uncovers new layers—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Plus, she chats about supporting your journey beyond food, staying curious while travelling, and why success comes from sticking around to the finish line.

She previews upcoming expert guests who will unpack important topics like hormones and sleep, and wraps up with powerful advice on nighttime hunger and why it’s not about being perfect from day one—it’s about staying in it until the end.
