From a young age, we're bombarded with ideals about how we should look and pressured to fit into certain numbers—whether it’s on the scale, on clothing tags, or on a BMI chart. But today, we're diving into a different narrative with my good friend and obesity medicine expert, Dr. Ali Novitsky. Can you believe she started her first diet at just six years old? Fast forward nearly two decades and over 20 diets later, she finally uncovered the keys to living authentically in her body.
Over the past 10 years, Dr. Novitsky has been teaching people the key strategies to go against diet culture and achieve long term, sustainable weight loss results. And in 2018, I was fortunate enough to be part of one of her first programs, Mind Body Marriage, which was simply life-changing. Join us for an inspiring conversation about reclaiming body autonomy and embracing a life beyond the numbers.
