Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky explores the world of creatine and its benefits for women.

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. The program will feature live sessions, new tools, and a supportive community, inviting listeners to join her on this transformative path. Dr. Novitsky expresses her gratitude for her audience and looks forward to sharing more insights in future episodes.

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.

"Am I going to be on it forever? That's always what they say." Ever wondered if you can stop GLP-1 agonists after reaching your weight loss goal? This episode is for you. In part three of our GLP-1 series, Dr. Ali Novitsky busts myths, addresses fears, and dives deep into one of the most important questions in obesity medicine: What happens after the weight is gone?

"It's not that we have non-responders. It's that we have unrealistic expectations." - 00:20:38A Personal Insight from Greece: Aligning Your Environment with Your Energy Dr. Novitsky begins by sharing a story from her trip to Greece, where the simplicity of her surroundings inspired her to declutter her home. This serves as a metaphor for aligning one's environment with their energy and current needs. Common Concerns About GLP-1 Agonists Dr. Novitsky discusses why people often struggle with GLP-1 agonists. Two main reasons stand out: confusion over how to balance medication with nutrition and exercise, often accompanied by shame, and the belief that they are "non-responders" to the medication. How a Nutrition Audit Can Help For those who feel they are non-responders, Dr. Novitsky introduces the concept of a nutrition audit. By tracking food intake without changes for a week, clients can gather data on calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and added sugars. This helps uncover what might be hindering progress. The Importance of Caloric Deficits and BMR Dr. Novitsky explains that GLP-1 agonists don't guarantee weight loss. Weight loss still requires a caloric deficit, which means consuming fewer calories than one's basal metabolic rate (BMR). Many mistakenly believe they're in a deficit when they're not, leading to frustration. Leptin Resistance and Weight Loss Struggles The episode dives into leptin resistance, a condition that can make weight loss harder, even when someone is consuming fewer calories. Leptin plays a role in hunger and metabolism, and resistance to it may be a reason some struggle with weight loss. Patience and Realistic Expectations Dr. Novitsky stresses patience when using GLP-1 agonists, explaining that weight loss varies by individual. Inflammation, body composition, and initial body fat all play a role in determining how quickly one may lose weight. She advises setting realistic goals to avoid discouragement. Looking Ahead Dr. Novitsky wraps up by encouraging listeners to reflect on their own journey, asking them to consider if any of the factors discussed apply to their experience. She teases upcoming episodes that will provide further insights into GLP-1 agonists and weight loss strategies.

Understanding GLP-1 Agonists: A Comprehensive Guide Part I: The Evolution From Diabetes Treatment to Weight Loss   "Going on a medication for weight loss is NOT the easy way out."  - Dr. Ali    Detailed Synopsis   In this first of three episodes about GLP-1 agonists, Dr. Ali Novitsky, your favorite Obesity Medicine and Fitness expert, dives deep into the science and history of GLP-1 agonist medications to educate her listeners on the realities and benefits of these medications. Dr. Novitsky starts with a personal story from Ocean City, New Jersey, where she encountered a woman whose family members were using GLP-1 agonists. The woman, however, had little understanding of how these medications work—prompting Dr. Ali to address common misconceptions. Dr. Novitsky emphasizes that GLP-1 agonists are not a quick fix but a helpful tool for those dealing with metabolic health challenges. She traces the history of GLP-1 agonists, starting from the 1970s, and highlights their role in treating diabetes since the 1990s. The episode explains the secondary effect of weight loss these medications can produce, underlining that their use must be accompanied by lifestyle changes for optimal success.   Mechanism of GLP-1 Agonists   Dr. Novitsky provides a clear breakdown of how GLP-1 agonists work in the body, specifically differentiating between types such as semaglutides and terzepatides, each with varying effects on weight loss. She debunks the myth that these medications offer an "easy way out" and emphasizes the importance of combining them with exercise and diet for best results. This segment covers why lifestyle changes are essential for those using GLP-1 agonists.   Criteria for Candidacy and Addressing Concerns   The episode also explores the criteria for being a candidate for GLP-1 agonists, stressing that BMI numbers alone are not enough. Dr. Novitsky explains how conditions like insulin resistance and leptin resistance factor into the equation. She advocates for personalized medicine and ensures that GLP-1 agonists are prescribed with a focus on improving overall metabolic health and preventing chronic diseases. Dr. Novitsky thoughtfully addresses concerns about side effects and the involvement of pharmaceutical companies in promoting these medications. She emphasizes the importance of compassion and a holistic approach to caring for individuals on these medications.   Looking to the Future: Preventive Health and Longevity   Dr. Novitsky envisions the future of GLP-1 agonists in preventive healthcare. She shares her predictions for microdose medications as an early intervention to support long-term health and longevity. Before wrapping up, Dr. Ali discusses her fitness and coaching programs, providing listeners with practical tools to achieve their health goals. Dr. Ali Novitsky's podcast continues to be a rich source of education, offering insights into both the mental and physical aspects of health, and breaking down the facts vs. myths surrounding GLP-1 agonists.  The goal is to empower listeners to be better equipped to make informed decisions on their health journey.   Time Stamps  [00:02] Introduction and personal story about GLP-1   [07:45] Common misconceptions about GLP-1 agonists   [15:30] History of GLP-1 agonists and their use in diabetes   [22:10] How GLP-1 agonists support weight loss   [28:35] Criteria for GLP-1 candidacy beyond BMI   [33:50] Addressing side effects and pharmaceutical involvement   [39:12] Importance of lifestyle changes with medication   [46:20] Looking ahead: Microdose medications for longevity   [52:15] Overview of Dr. Novitsky's coaching programs   [56:40] Closing thoughts on compassion and holistic care Resources: The Muscles & Mindset Beginner Strength Training Program - 12 months for only $199! Enroll TODAY.

226: Nutrition Training for Healthcare Providers: Bridging the Gap Host: Dr. Ali Novitsky Welcome to another exciting episode of the Muscles & Mindset Podcast! Dr. Ali Novitsky is thrilled to dive into a topic that is both her passion and profession: nutrition. This episode is particularly special as it focuses on bridging the gap in nutrition knowledge for healthcare providers. Introduction Dr. Novitsky begins the episode by sharing a bit about her background and lifelong fascination with nutrition. From a young age, she was deeply interested in how food and exercise impact our bodies. This passion led her to accumulate a vast library of nutrition books and spend weekends discussing diets at GNC. Her journey has been shaped by personal experiences, including being an overweight child, which fueled her interest in nutrition and exercise. The Importance of Nutrition in Healthcare She discusses the critical role nutrition plays in both preventing and treating diseases. Despite its importance, traditional medical training often lacks comprehensive nutrition education, leaving many healthcare providers feeling unprepared to offer nutritional advice to their patients. Dr. Novitsky emphasizes that while doctors are trained to save lives, they are not typically trained to be nutrition experts. Unique Approach Over the years, she has developed a unique approach to nutrition, which she calls "Mindful Macros." This program is designed to make nutrition simple and effective. Dr. Novitsky believes that understanding and implementing basic nutrition strategies can save lives and aims to empower healthcare providers with the knowledge and tools needed to offer sound nutritional advice to their patients. Introducing the Eight Week Nutition Training Program She is excited to announce a new eight-week training program specifically designed for healthcare providers. This program will cover everything she has learned and implemented in her coaching programs over the past several decades. The training will be live, offering participants the opportunity to interact with her and ask questions. Additionally, esteemed colleagues like Dr. Matthea Rentea will contribute her expertise, particularly in areas like obesity medicine and post-bariatric care. Overcoming Obstacles Dr. Novitsky addresses several obstacles that healthcare providers face when it comes to nutrition: Lack of Training: Most medical schools do not offer extensive nutrition education. Time Constraints: Healthcare providers are often too busy to prioritize their own nutrition, let alone advise patients. Simplifying: The plethora of nutrition strategies out there can be overwhelming and at times, contradictory. She assures listeners that her program is designed to make nutrition advice simple and actionable, even for the busiest healthcare providers. Program Details The eight-week program will officially start on October 7th, but early enrollees will gain immediate access to bonus content, including the emotional eating and body composition training series. Participants will also receive a comprehensive provider nutrition training manual and a nutrition audit guide, making it easy to implement these strategies in their practice. Conclusion Dr. Novitsky wraps up the episode by encouraging healthcare providers to sign up for the program. She believes that by bridging the gap in nutrition knowledge, a significant impact can be made on public health.

Host: Ali Novitsky, MD In this episode of "Muscles & Mindset," Dr. Ali Novitsky, obesity medicine and fitness expert, welcomes listeners to the fourth installment of the mini-nutrition series. For those who are just tuning in, she encourages them to catch up on previous episodes that explore intuitive eating, Mindful Macro® eating, and the fundamentals of calculated macros. Today, she presents a comprehensive approach that she refers to as the ultimate nutrition strategy. Episode Highlights: Introduction to the Ultimate Nutrition Strategy: This strategy builds upon the tools and concepts discussed in earlier episodes, offering a flexible way of eating that adapts to various life situations, combining intuitive eating, Mindful Macros®, and calculated macros. The Importance of Flexibility: Flexibility in eating strategies is vital for long-term success. Dr. Novitsky notes that clients often lose interest when they feel confined to a single method; hence, offering multiple options can keep them engaged and motivated. Personal Examples: She shares how she integrates these strategies into her own life, particularly during frequent work travel and family vacations. For work trips, she adheres to Mindful Macros®, making informed decisions based on portion sizes. When on family vacations, she opts for intuitive eating to fully enjoy the experience without strict structures. Calculated Macros and Nutrition Audits: Dr. Novitsky explains that calculated macros are essential for gaining insight into current eating habits. She advises clients to conduct a nutrition audit by tracking everything they consume over a week, which helps identify areas for improvement and dispels myths about being a "non-responder" to certain diets or medications. Real-Life Applications: She discusses practical scenarios where calculated macros prove beneficial, such as when someone feels their nutrition is off track or wants to build muscle mass. Calculated macros provide the necessary framework and data to make informed adjustments. Trusting Yourself: The ultimate goal is for individuals to trust their eating decisions, whether they are using intuitive eating, mindful macros, or calculated macros. Flexibility enables them to switch between these strategies as needed without feeling restricted or overwhelmed. Mindset and Motivation: Dr. Novitsky addresses the common challenge of losing motivation after the initial excitement of a new nutrition program. Understanding the mindset behind this can aid in maintaining long-term commitment and success. Practical Tips: She offers actionable advice on implementing these strategies in various situations, highlighting that all of this is learnable and achievable. Conclusion: Dr. Novitsky concludes by reminding listeners that their nutrition strategy doesn't have to be rigid. It can be a blend of intuitive eating, mindful macros, and calculated macros, tailored to their individual needs and lifestyle. She also invites them to explore her year-long strength training program, "Muscles & Mindset," available at www.thefitcollective.com/musclesandmindset, designed to complement their nutrition journey with effective workouts. Stay tuned for more insights and have a fantastic week!

In this episode of the Muscles and Mindset Podcast, Dr. Ali Novitsky MD delves into the topic of Mindful Macros®, a balanced approach to nutrition. Packed with insights and practical advice, this episode guides listeners on how to balance macronutrients—proteins, fats, and carbohydrates—to achieve fitness goals such as fat loss, muscle gain, or maintenance. Introduction Dr. Novitsky kicks off the episode by sharing exciting news about a new nutrition program that complements the existing Muscles & Mindset strength training course. This comprehensive program offers three levels of workouts, guiding participants through an entire year of fitness for the price of a single personal training session. What is Mindful Macros®? Mindful Macros® is Dr. Novitsky's trademark nutrition program, designed to help individuals eyeball portions and achieve a balanced intake of macronutrients. This approach is a step up from intuitive eating, making it suitable for those with specific physical goals like fat loss or muscle gain. Dr. Ali's Personal Journey Dr. Novitsky shares a personal story from her early 20s, detailing her struggles with various diets until she discovered the power of a balanced macronutrient breakdown. This experience led her to develop the Mindful Macros® approach, which combines intuitive eating with calculated macros. How Mindful Macros® Works The episode delves into the specifics of how Mindful Macros® operates: Protein: The cornerstone of the program, with recommended intake based on height and goals. Carbohydrates: Focus on complex carbs, with a one-to-one ratio with protein for fat loss and a higher ratio for muscle gain. Fats: Typically two servings above protein intake. Dr. Novitsky explains how to eyeball portions using simple visual cues, making it easy to follow the program without needing a scale or measuring cups. Benefits of Mindful Macros® One of the standout benefits of Mindful Macros® is its ability to maintain muscle mass while promoting fat loss. This approach is also friendly on blood sugar levels, making it a sustainable and healthy way to eat. Dr. Novitsky shares a compelling story from Dr. Komal Patil-Sisodia, an endocrinologist who successfully used Mindful Macros® to transform her body composition and improve her metabolic health. Practical Tips and Upcoming Program Dr. Novitsky provides practical tips on how to get started with Mindful Macros®, emphasizing the importance of getting hungry first, observing fullness, and allowing feelings. She also teases an upcoming program that will include detailed protein charts, recipes, and step-by-step guidance to help individuals become their own nutrition experts. Conclusion Dr. Novitsky concludes by encouraging listeners to start the Muscles & Mindset strength training program, which can set the foundation for incorporating the nutrition program.

Resistance-Training For Everyone: From Chair Workouts to Advanced Movements In this episode, Ali Novitsky discusses the importance of strength training for beginners and how she has created a program, Muscles & Mindset, to make it accessible and doable. She shares her own experience with starting strength training at a young age and the obstacles that beginners often face. Ali emphasizes that it's never too late to start strength training and that less is more when it comes to workout duration. She also highlights the benefits of strength training, such as maintaining muscle mass, improving insulin resistance, and boosting metabolism. Ali encourages beginners to try her program and shares success stories from her clients, including someone going through chemotherapy who has maintained muscle mass. Dr. Ali's Personal Journey and Realizations Dr. Ali reflects on her strength training journey of more than 30 years.  She started back in the early '90s, a time when it wasn't common for preteen girls to engage in strength training, so it wasn't until her mother-in-law needed a strength training routine that she revisited the basics. Dr. Ali and her 2nd mom, Kathy, recorded a video together called the "mother-in-law workout," which received an overwhelming response. This made her realize the importance of making strength training accessible and comfortable for everyone, regardless of their starting point. Introducing Muscles & Mindset - a Program for all Fitness Levels Dr. Ali expresses excitemebt about her new program, Muscles & Mindset, a year-long training program designed to cater to all levels of fitness. The program is divided into three phases: Phase One: For absolute beginners, including those who may need a chair for support. Phase Two: For those who can move from the ground to standing unassisted but aren't ready for advanced movements. Phase Three: For advanced strength training. Overcoming Common Obstacles Many people feel it's too late to start strength training or don't know where to begin. The goal of Muscles & Mindset is to eliminate these obstacles by providing a program that requires no equipment and can be done from the comfort of your home. Dr. Ali curates every workout, ensuring you understand and feel each movement, which is crucial for beginners. The Importance of Accessibility Strength training should be accessible to everyone. You don't need expensive equipment or a gym membership. The Muscles & Mindset program allows you to train in your pajamas, without shoes, and still achieve great results. The key is consistency and starting with manageable goals, like 10 minutes of training three days a week. Personal Experience and Client Success Dr. Ali has recorded 468 workouts for this program, and even got sore from Phase One due to the deliberate use of muscles. Her mother-in-law has lost 75 pounds without losing muscle mass, thanks to her dedication to strength training. This program is designed to be affordable and effective, costing just $199 for a whole year of access to all three phases. The Science Behind Strength Training Strength training is non-negotiable for maintaining muscle mass, especially as we age. It helps with insulin resistance, bone density, and metabolism. Combining strength training with adequate protein intake is essential for muscle maintenance and growth. Real-Life Impact One of Dr. Ali's clients, who is undergoing chemotherapy, has not lost any muscle mass thanks to the 10-minute, three-day-a-week workouts. This is a testament to the program's effectiveness and accessibility. Final Thoughts Dr. Ali believes in you, and I believes that strength training can be a transformative experience for everyone. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced exerciser, Muscles and Mindset has something for you.

Breakthroughs are part of the process. If you're growing, you're bound to have some breakthroughs & when they happen, you're going to want to tell someone! And, what happens when they don't get it? What happens when it's not that big of deal? What happens when they don't share in your AHA moments? Let's talk about breakthroughs and the shadow side of them...grab your air pods, let's chat!

To create a multiple 6 figure coaching business you want to make sure that you never leave any money on the table. But often I see coaches doing just that when they create a waitlist. When clients are ready to invest in themselves, we want to be able to accommodate them immediately. Otherwise, we risk forcing them to look for other options outside of our business. Or even worse, risking them giving up on their own transformation. In this podcast you will learn how to prepare for over booking and helping your client find options to be able to work with you.
