Nutrition Training Program

Imagine transforming your practice with a cutting-edge approach to nutrition that will help you to become confident with advising nutrition strategies for your patients.

Dr. Ali Novitsky, A Board Certified Obesity Medicine Physician, is now offering her Nutrition Training Program for Healthcare Providers — a comprehensive 8-week live program designed to empower you with the tools and knowledge to help your patients optimize their health through personalized nutrition strategies.

Open to All

This program is open to all healthcare professionals, including doctors, advanced practitioners, nurses, dietitians, and therapists, who are eager to elevate their practice and make a significant impact on their patients' lives. No matter your background or level of experience with nutrition, this training is designed with you in mind. By enrolling, you are taking a pivotal step towards enhancing your skills and broadening your scope of practice.

Why We Created This Program…

Many healthcare professionals face significant challenges when it comes to addressing nutrition in their practice. A lack of in-depth knowledge can lead to a sense of helplessness when patients seek guidance on dietary changes, leaving healthcare professionals feeling unprepared and inadequate.

Without appropriate nutritional training, which most of us did not get in our medical training, providers may struggle to manage chronic conditions effectively, resulting in missed opportunities to improve patient outcomes. By equipping yourself with comprehensive nutritional knowledge, you can overcome these hurdles, fostering stronger relationships with your patients and enhancing their overall health journey.

Dr. Ali Novitsky combines her academic knowledge with her own personal experience as well as managing her clients’ distinct challenges, creating relatable and actionable solutions. She understands that each patient brings their own story, concerns, and barriers to healthy living. This empathy drives her methods, ensuring that healthcare providers emerge from the program equipped to implement meaningful change tailored to individual patient needs. By emphasizing this experience-based approach, participants will not only gain theoretical knowledge but also practical skills and emotional intelligence essential for fostering lasting relationships with patients and guiding them toward healthier lifestyles.
