Description

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.
