Today, I am celebrating my style as someone who loves to get inspired, and then taking that energy to create impact.
My journey has allowed me to offer programs that cured my own struggles, and now the struggles of many.
What if these unexpected things in life have a gift hidden within them for you, just waiting to be discovered?
Setting boundaries has been a recurring lesson for me, and though I've been aware of its importance, embracing it fully has been a challenge.
Over 50% of adults are seeking help from doctors for weight loss, yet many of us feel unequipped to address this pressing need.
This balance has been a wonderful reminder that we can work hard and give ourselves the space to unwind.
When we are feeling extra stressed and overwhelmed, it is actually an emotional need of ours that is not being met.
When we prioritize our emotional needs, we unlock a deeper, more meaningful abundance.
It’s time to declutter not only our homes, but also the choices we make in every facet of our lives.
My reentry strategy focuses on embracing presence, fostering mindfulness, and finding joy in simplicity.
Witnessing their practices reinforces the invaluable lessons they offer in leading a long, healthy, and fulfilling life.
This journey has reaffirmed the beauty of simplicity and the profound happiness that comes from experiences rather than possessions.
This journey is filling me with an immense curiosity about what else is possible in life.
Here’s to finding that delicate balance and recognizing the silver linings in our everyday challenges.
Recognizing and nurturing these gifts can exponentially enhance our lives, filling them with purpose, passion, and fulfillment.
Lilly has reminded us to savor each moment, to find joy in the little things, and to never take love and companionship for granted.
We have listened to your feedback and are working diligently to introduce new programs and initiatives that resonate with your needs and aspirations.
Together, we can create a culture where acknowledgment and gratitude are the norms, uplifting each other one thank you at a time.
Your dreams, your aspirations, and your potential are limitless. With dedication to mastering your craft and a vision to create an impact
I believe that each of us has our own set of core desires, unique and deeply personal. The question is, do you feel abundant in what matters most to you?
This has taught me the power of perspective and the importance of giving ourselves permission to revisit and redefine our relationship with past experiences.
It’s important to hold space when we find ourselves saying “yes” when we genuinely mean “no.”
By welcoming gratitude, we open the doors to happiness and a deeper connection with the world around us.
For years, I've been navigating life's rigors with the drive to stay ahead, seldom pausing to truly nurture myself. This vacation, however, was different.
Our adventure turned into a profound lesson about the beauty of unplanned joys and the importance of truly disconnecting.
I had the honor of attending and speaking at Dr. Bonnie Koo’s 'Live Wealthy Conference' in Tucson, Arizona.
In reconnecting with my friends, I was, in fact, reconnecting with my essential self.
Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt uplifted? That, my friend, is the power of high vibrational energy.
As physicians, we are all too familiar with the complexities of work-life balance.
This year, let's switch the focus from romantic love or infatuation for others, to embrace the most profound and juicy love of all – self-love.
Reverse Dieting: An Underutilized Tool
Reverse dieting consists of increasing nutrition to enable muscle gain. When done correctly, calories increase without any change in weight. One woman physician’s success story!
We returned from vacation and now we are getting ready for my Luxury Summer Retreat for clients at my home!! If you are not following me on social media, be sure to follow me on Instagram at alinovitksymd. I will be posting about this experience.
One of the attendees, Dr. Amanda, who will be at the upcoming retreat, is a physician I have been working with for the past year. And, her story is fantastic. She is allowing me to share.
Dr. Amanda is amazing. Fit, strong, and very knowledgeable with exercise and nutrition. She had a goal of body fat loss. During our time thus far, Amanda has utilized most of the tools I teach, including intuitive eating strategy, my Mindful Macros® Program, and calculated macros. Because Amanda was already very fit, and her progress had stalled… she made the commitment to use calculated macros.
Dr. Amanda spent a lot of time on her mindset with macros. She started to see macros as data; something that she could adjust as needed. The key with calculated macros is consistency. Within 2 months, Dr. Amanda met her body fat loss goal. But here was the issue: she had to decrease her calories and create a significant deficit to hit that goal. She knew that she wanted to eat more, and her goal changed.
It is so important to keep checking in on our goals. Her new goal was to focus more on definition and lose inches in her midsection. To do this, we agreed that a focus on increasing muscle would be key. To increase muscle, we knew we had to increase nutrition. Dr. Amanda was very concerned that by increased nutrition in the form of extra calories, that she would gain.
Now - I must say… to perform reverse dieting, we have to be even more consistent and disciplined for it to work. And Amanda was.
Over the next several weeks, we carefully adjusted her plan. I am proud to report that Dr. Amanda went from eating under 1,200 calories per day to now eating 2,000 calories per day with NO INCREASED WEIGHT GAIN OR FAT GAIN. In fact, she is eating so much food that it is hard to keep up. And she is getting stronger and moving toward her goal.
I share this story because our bodies are not broken. There are strategies to help heal us and nurture us. All that is required is trusting the process. Dr. Amanda has inspired several other clients to take on the same approach, so we will have some good data coming for you all.
Remember, you get one body. Treat it well. Show up for it. Learn about it. Figure out what it needs. Show up for yourself authentically.
