    244: Is Creatine Good for Women? Muscle, Bone, & Brain Function Implications
    2024/12/18
    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 whole health 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 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. Insights from in-body scans showcasing client transformations with creatine. Types of Creatine: Creatine Monohydrate: Most studied, affordable, and effective but may cause bloating. Creatine HCL: Gentler on the stomach with potentially higher bioavailability. Practical Usage: Dosage recommendations for monohydrate (3-5 grams daily) and HCL (1-2 grams daily). Optional loading phase for monohydrate to saturate muscles faster. Importance of consistency in supplementation. Creatine’s Impact on Women: Muscle growth and maintenance, especially during perimenopause. Cognitive benefits: reduced brain fog and enhanced mental clarity. Bone health preservation as estrogen declines. Hormonal balance through improved insulin sensitivity. Client Success Stories: A woman in perimenopause achieving exceptional muscle gain and fat loss while on creatine. Encouraging ectomorphic (naturally thin) women to consider creatine for muscle building and energy. Broader Benefits of Creatine: Safe for long-term use.

    243: High-Protein Meal Prep for Busy Professionals: Healthy, Not Hard!
    2024/12/11
    Episode Summary: In this episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky delves into the world of meal prep, sharing practical strategies and tips to help busy individuals streamline their meal planning and preparation. She begins with a brief update on her recent family trip to Disney World, where she found a surprising sense of relaxation and stress relief. This sets the stage for the main topic: making meal prep manageable and enjoyable. Personal Update: Dr. Novitsky shares her recent Thanksgiving trip to Disney World. She discusses how Disney World, despite its reputation for being stressful, was a relaxing experience for her. Ali mentions her family's plans to return to Disney World in January and for spring break. Introduction to Meal Prep: Dr. Novitsky expresses her initial dislike for meal prep and the reasons behind it. She highlights the benefits of meal prep, such as saving time and ensuring balanced meals. Batch Protein Process: Dr. Novitsky introduces the concept of batch prepping proteins as a cornerstone of efficient meal prep. She details a two-week process where participants prep three proteins each week (e.g., chicken, steak, shrimp, tofu) and use them in various recipes. Ali shares her personal experience with this method, noting significant savings on grocery bills and reduced meal prep time. Meal Prep Strategies: Strategy 1: Batch prep proteins and store them in glass containers to maintain freshness. Strategy 2: Mix and match veggies and complex carbs to create diverse meals. Strategy 3: Make extra portions for dinner to have leftovers for lunch the next day. Strategy 4: Utilize the Crock-Pot for easy, set-it-and-forget-it meals. Strategy 5: Prepare overnight oats for a quick, nutritious breakfast. Strategy 6: Plan for a mid-afternoon mini-meal to avoid excessive hunger before dinner. Strategy 7: Repurpose restaurant leftovers into new meals. Strategy 8: Purchase prepped proteins from meal services if you prefer not to prep them yourself. Strategy 9: Consider meal subscription services for convenience. Strategy 10: Emphasize that meal prep doesn't have to be perfect; it's about making the best decisions you can. Additional Resources: Dr. Novitsky announces a free download: "One Protein, Seven Lunches" guide, designed for busy people to ensure they have high-protein, nutritious lunches every day. She mentions the ongoing enrollment for Transform 9.0, a program designed to help individuals with their meal prep and nutrition goals. Conclusion: Dr. Novitsky encourages listeners to try out these meal prep strategies and see which ones work best for them.

  • 242: Data-Driven Fat Loss, Muscle Gain: Body Composition Measurement with The InBody Scale

    242: Data-Driven Fat Loss, Muscle Gain: Body Composition Measurement with The InBody Scale
    2024/12/04
    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.

    241: Breaking Free: A 22-Year Transformation Story #theFitCollective
    2024/11/27
    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.

  • 240: Transforming Self-Perception: Finding Beauty in Every Body

    240: Transforming Self-Perception: Finding Beauty in Every Body
    2024/11/20
    Introduction This week’s episode focuses on embracing body acceptance, drawing from recent experiences and insights. Dr. Ali Novitsky shares her inspiration from attending two transformative conferences in Dallas: the Lead Her Summit by Dr. Tiffany Moon and the Pediatric CEO Intensive with Dr. Katrina Skinner. Over a packed 48 hours, she delivered five talks and one workout, surrounded by remarkable women who left her energized and inspired. Main Topic: Embracing Body Acceptance Beginning with a personal story, Dr. Novitsky highlights the importance of recognizing when one is living in their most authentic body and embracing that state. For those who feel they are not yet there, she offers compassionate advice on how to love and accept their current selves while working toward meaningful change. Personal Journey Dr. Novitsky shares her journey with body image, tracing back to her childhood struggles with weight and the negative comments that shaped her self-view. She discusses triggers related to body image, such as difficulties with dress shopping, and recounts how a positive shopping experience with her friend Stacy at Edith’s in Philly helped her navigate these challenges. Body Transformation and Acceptance Reflecting on her significant weight loss at 22 and its impact on her body composition, Dr. Novitsky acknowledges that even while living in her most authentic body, old triggers can resurface. She emphasizes the importance of loving one’s body at every stage, treating it with kindness and respect regardless of its current form. External Judgments and Internal Strength Dr. Novitsky recounts a recent incident where someone commented on her body, triggering old insecurities. She explains how she reframed the experience, understanding that external judgments often reflect others’ perspectives rather than personal truths. She underscores the value of not internalizing such comments and embracing one’s unique traits.
