Description

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.
