In this Guest Expert episode, Gina and Learning Expert Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer get real about what it truly takes to see lasting change, starting with one simple mindset shift: Get curious and trust the process. Dr. Deena shares why learning (and unlearning!) is the key to making your weight loss journey the last one you'll ever need. Together, they walk listeners through how to frame their journey in a way that feels inspiring instead of overwhelming, how to ditch all-or-nothing thinking, and why motivation is nice but not required. It's about showing up, stacking small wins, and focusing on all the ways progress shows up beyond the scale. With a refreshing take on building habits that stick and a reminder to practice grace on the hard days, this episode is packed with the real-talk encouragement the Livy Community loves.You can find the full video hosted at:www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2025Where to find Dr. DeenaInstagram: @awakenedlearningWebsite: www.awakenedlearning.caTo learn more about The Livy Method, visit www.ginalivy.com.

Our guest today, Dr. Jeff Powers discusses CBD use in pets. The main areas that CBD has scientifically been shown to be beneficial for is reducing, pain and, increasing movement in dogs with osteoarthritis. Much like in people, CBD has been shown in studies to reduce frequency of seizures in dogs. There's increasing work now in the area of anxiety and the results have been mixed. But what they have found, in a recent study, is as long as you get a significant amount of CBD, into the pet, it can also be beneficial in reducing anxiety as well.  And so some vets may be up to speed on where it can be used and when it can be used, and a lot of other ones may not be, or may be fearful to even recommend it because of potential legal implications because it's not a pharmaceutically approved medicine at this point, except for there's one approved. Guest Expert on CBD Jeffrey Powers, DVM, Practice Owner of Beaver Island Hemp Co. Dr. Power is currently the owner of Jordan Valley and Beaver Island Veterinary Clinic  https://www.veterinaryclinicsnorth.com/, two offices in Northern Michigan. Dr. Powers was president of the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association in 1997 and has served on numerous MVMA and AVMA Committees and Councils. Jeff recently Chaired the AVMA's Council on Biologic and Therapeutic Agents, and  helped form the AVMA's Veterinary Cannabis Working Group.  He also serves as a board member of the Veterinary Cannabis Society https://veterinarycannabissociety.org/about-us/committees/, consults for Green Gruff, Inc https://greengruff.com/ and owns Beaver Island Hemp Company (www.beaverislandhemp.com ) where he grows and produces CBD Hemp Products for human and animal use.  Dr Powers and his human and animal families live in Northern Michigan. Jeffrey Powers, DVM, Practice Owner Caring for animals has been always been a way of life for Dr. Powers. Ever since he was a child he has always had a deep love for all animals. That is why, it wasn't a surprise when he decided that he wanted to become a veterinarian. Dr. Powers decided to follow in his oldest sister's footsteps who is in the health professions field as well. Dr. Powers graduated from Michigan State University in 1978 with a Bachelor of Science with High Honors, and in 1980 from Michigan State University with a DVM degree with Honors. At the age of 23, he worked under the guidance of Dr. Robert Johnson in Yale, Michigan. He soon established his own practice in 1980, where he would work out of a one room office and would drive the country roads of the thumb of Michigan from farm to farm. Dr. Powers is the founder and owner of Beaver Island Veterinary Services and the owner of  Jordan Valley Animal Clinic, providing mixed animal veterinary services to the community of Beaver Island in Lake Michigan and East Jordan Michigan. He is also the founder and former owner of South Sanilac Veterinary Hospital in Peck, Michigan.
