Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky explores the world of creatine and its benefits for women. Often misunderstood as a supplement for men, creatine is now gaining attention for its role in enhancing muscle health, cognitive function, and bone strength in women. Drawing from personal experiences, client success stories, and scientific research, Dr. Novitsky provides actionable insights into how creatine can support women in various life stages, particularly during perimenopause. She also shares updates on her transformative program, Transform 9.0, which includes a meal prep challenge designed for long-term success. Key Points Discussed: Personal Update: Reflecting on the fast-paced December season and her inspiration from holiday preparations. Updates on Transform 9.0: Extended duration (12 months), same pricing, and added meal prep plans, including a 52-week dinner challenge. Introduction to Creatine for Women: Dispelling myths about creatine and weight gain. Creatine's benefits: enhancing workout recovery, boosting cognition, and supporting bone health.

Bone health preservation as estrogen declines. Hormonal balance through improved insulin sensitivity.

SUMMARY: In this week's episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky, MD, shares her excitement as her family prepares for their first Thanksgiving trip to Disney. As the holiday season approaches, she shifts the focus from typical New Year's resolutions to something more meaningful: tracking progress, particularly in relation to muscle mass and body composition. Dr. Novitsky introduces the concept of sarcopenia, the natural loss of muscle mass that begins around age 30, and highlights the importance of maintaining muscle as we age. She discusses the InBody Scale, a tool that has transformed her approach to health and fitness by shifting the conversation from mere fat loss to muscle maintenance and gain. She explains how the InBody Scale provides a more comprehensive understanding of body composition compared to traditional scales or even DEXA scans. She had been promoting The InBody for years without any affiliation due to its transformative impact on understanding body composition. Unlike traditional scales that focus solely on weight, the InBody Scale provides a comprehensive breakdown of muscle mass, fat percentage, and other key metrics, empowering users to track their progress in a meaningful way. InBody Scale has become an essential tool in her coaching and programs, shifting the focus from weight loss to strength building, muscle maintenance, and overall health improvement - and just recently, she became an affiliate with them (the only product that she is an affiliate with as of the publishing of this podcast). If you're ready to take control of your health in a smarter, more effective way, the InBody Scale could be the game-changer you've been looking for. Use the code: TheFitCollective to get 15% off an InBody Scan. Throughout the episode, Dr. Novitsky offers insights on how to effectively use the InBody Scale, emphasizing the importance of consistency in measurements and understanding the data it provides. She also outlines her approach to setting realistic and healthy goal weights based on individual body composition rather than arbitrary numbers. As the episode concludes, Dr. Novitsky invites listeners to join her Transform 9.0 program - enrollment begins on December 1st. This program focuses on emotional regulation, nutrition, and strength training, offering valuable resources for high-performing women and physicians.

SUMMARY: In this episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky shares her recent experience attending the Taylor Swift concert in Toronto, describing it as a magical event filled with positivity and energy. Following the concert, she and her family visited Niagara Falls and spent quality time with her parents, which added to the joy of the trip. The main focus of the episode revolves around Dr. Novitsky's reflections on her past, prompted by the discovery of her old diaries by her 10-year-old daughter while visiting Dr. Ali's childhood home. She candidly discusses the negative self-talk she engaged in during her younger years, particularly regarding her body image and weight struggles. Through painful excerpts from her diaries, she reveals how she meticulously logged her food and exercise while criticizing herself for not meeting unrealistic expectations. Dr. Novitsky recounts her transformative journey that began when she was accepted into medical school at the age of 22. This pivotal moment inspired her to take better care of herself, leading her to abandon obsessive weighing and tracking of her food. As a result, she developed a healthier relationship with her body and food, ultimately losing weight and finding her authentic self. Throughout the episode, Dr. Novitsky emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's own story and the growth that can emerge from it. She encourages listeners to embrace their journeys, no matter how challenging. Additionally, she introduces her upcoming TRANSFORM program, designed to help individuals overcome emotional eating and cultivate healthier habits.

Summary: In this festive and insightful episode of the "Metabolism, Muscles, and Mindset Podcast," Dr. Ali Novitsky dives into the season of gratitude and growth, kicking things off with a warm welcome to listeners and a personal story about Thanksgiving. As a major Thanksgiving enthusiast, Ali shares a special memory from her medical residency days—particularly the one year she had all three major holidays off after the birth of her daughter, Charlotte. This year, she's excited to be celebrating Thanksgiving at Disney with her family, adding a sprinkle of holiday magic. Ali then introduces her much-anticipated January program, Transform 9.0, with an exclusive Black Friday bonus. Those who enroll early can participate in a two-week December bootcamp focused on emotional regulation—a key to breaking cycles of emotional eating and drinking. Ali has designed a unique 14-day mocktail menu to keep things festive, and her husband, a psychiatrist, will lend his expertise on the pathways of addiction. Together, they aim to help participants recognize the link between emotional habits and addictive behaviors. Dr. Ali explains how recognizing signs of stress and dysregulation is the first step toward transforming habits like doom scrolling, emotional eating, or drinking. Ali shares her own experiences with these habits, from phone addiction to the impact of occasional drinking, and describes how understanding her emotional triggers has helped her make healthier choices. Listeners get practical advice for overcoming unwanted habits: recognize dysregulation, identify the underlying emotion, and avoid reactions or distractions. Ali highlights the power of sitting with one's emotions for just 90 seconds, which can dramatically reduce their intensity.

Episode II of The Stress Series: The Somatic Stress Scale Explained - How to Identify and Manage Your Stress  Hello, everyone! It's fantastic to be back this week as we dive into the next part of our series on stress. In our first episode, we explored the physiological response to stress and discussed how stress itself isn't inherently bad. However, too much stress can lead to negative physiological responses. Today, we're going to delve deeper into managing stress by introducing a powerful tool: the stress scale. In this episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky, obesity medicine expert and exercise guru, guides listeners through the concept of the stress scale, a tool inspired by Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). This episode explores how this scale can help identify and manage stress levels effectively. With the stress scale, it's not just about numbers; it's about recognizing the unique symptoms experienced at various stress levels and using that awareness to improve interpersonal relationships and overall well-being. To illustrate the impact of stress on daily life, Dr. Novitsky shares a personal story about her dog, whose schedule gets thrown off after boarding. This leads to early morning wake-ups and disrupted sleep, contributing to increased stress levels for Dr. Novitsky herself. This relatable story highlights how seemingly small, everyday events can impact our stress scale and overall state of well-being. The stress scale ranges from 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest level of stress and 10 the highest. Here's a quick look at each level: 1: Complete relaxation, like a sun-induced daze on a beach. 2: Rested state with mild thoughts and feelings, without significant decisions. 3: Awareness and light social interaction, maybe a casual conversation. 4: Decision-making and more body movement, actively engaged. 5: Potential conflict with noticeable fidgeting and body movements. 6: Sarcasm, signaling a desire to disengage socially. 7: Physiological symptoms like a higher heart rate and faster breathing. 8: Reactivity with out-of-proportion responses to minor triggers. 9: Isolation and complete avoidance of social interactions. 10: Extreme stress, leading to yelling and strong emotional expression. Creating a personalized somatic stress scale requires time and mindfulness. Dr. Novitsky recommends using a piece of paper labeled 1 through 10 and noting specific symptoms at each level. Involving a partner can make this process even more insightful, as they can observe and help identify behaviors that may go unnoticed. Understanding your stress scale helps manage stress effectively: 7 or above: Use distraction techniques to lower stress levels. 4 to 6: Employ daily emotional regulation tools to stay productive. 4 or below: Focus on rest and recovery to recharge.
