About this episode

Gina Livy and Dr. Paul Hrkal discuss common health questions and misconceptions about supplements and wellness practices.

There's a supplement for everything now. A fix for hot flashes, a booster for energy, a formula for menopause and somehow an influencer who swears they cured their gut with a parasite cleanse. It's exhausting to figure out what's real. In this episode of Weigh In With Gina, Gina Livy and Dr. Paul Hrkal, naturopathic doctor and one of the most trusted voices in the Livy Method community, cut through the noise together. From the statin conversation your GP might be rushing past, to whether coconut oil is actually bad for you, to what you really need to support your body on a GLP-1, Dr. Paul gives you the grounded, clinical perspective that's hard to find anywhere else. Topics include: reversing metabolic age, IBS flare-ups from eating healthy, lymphedema, long-term magnesium use, summer circadian rhythm habits and why the wellness industry keeps making it all more complicated than it needs to be.
