exercise, and mindset work

Hi, I’m Dr. Ali Novitsky…It’s So Nice To Meet You!

I am an obesity medicine expert who specializes in nutrition, exercise, and mindset work for optimal weight loss. Over the past 10 years I have been teaching individuals the key strategies to go against diet culture and actually give long term sustainable weight loss results. In my programs we work smarter, not harder.

Why Beginner Strength Is a Game Changer.

  1. Preserves Muscle Mass During Weight Loss

    • The key to optimal weight loss is preserving muscle mass while losing body fat. Strength training ensures you keep the muscle you’ve worked hard for while shedding fat, improving overall body composition.

  2. Addresses a Critical Gap in Weight Loss

    • Research shows that 70% of people trying to lose weight don’t strength train. Beginner Strength bridges this gap, helping you adopt this essential practice in a way that’s approachable and sustainable.

  3. Boosts Metabolic Health

    • Muscle is metabolically active, meaning the more muscle you maintain, the more calories your body burns—even at rest. Strength training helps optimize your metabolism for effective, lasting weight loss.

  4. Easy to Start, Effective Results

    • Beginner Strength is designed for everyone, regardless of experience. With simple, progressive workouts, you’ll see results without feeling overwhelmed or intimidated.

  5. Promotes Long-Term Success

    • Strength training doesn’t just help with weight loss—it builds the foundation for sustainable health and fitness. It supports joint health, bone density, and strength that will serve you for years to come.

  6. Enhances Confidence and Energy

    • As you gain strength, you’ll feel more confident in your body and empowered to take on daily challenges. Plus, the energy boost from regular strength training can transform your day-to-day life.

  7. Protects Against Muscle Loss with Aging

    • Muscle mass naturally declines with age. Strength training helps combat this, ensuring you stay strong and functional as you age.

  8. Supports Overall Health

    • Beyond weight loss, strength training improves balance, posture, and endurance, contributing to a healthier, more resilient you.
