Pizza & B12 Shots, The New Way to BOND

Being Thanksgiving week, I wanted to extend some extra gratitude to the man that introduced me to medicine.

Remakus Family

At a recent retreat that I hosted, I asked my attendees, “If you were stuck in a foreign prison and you could call one person who could get you out, who would that be?” 

My answer was easy. And, it isn’t Mark, only because he would have misplaced his phone and wouldn’t pick up.  

I would call my Dad.

Being Thanksgiving week, I wanted to extend some extra gratitude to the man that introduced me to medicine.

Through his dedication to the field, and the art in which he practices, he inspired my two brothers and I to also become doctors.

He has been practicing for almost 50 years, and at the age of 76, he still maintains his private practice in our family home. My dad is a healer. He often takes payments in apple pies or hugs. He is determined, tireless, focused, and devoted. And, like our 10 year old daughter, he does not take “No” for an answer.

Last weekend, we made a surprise visit to see my parents. And, like most typical family get-togethers… we ate pizza and gave each other B12 shots. True story.

I also shared with my Dad my upcoming list of trips so he could be on standby, just in case. And, here is the good thing… if you happened to be on one of my trips with me, my Dad has YOU covered, too.

Sending you wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

A Magical Weekend in Toronto: Our Taylor Swift Adventure!

Taylor Swift's performance was not just a concert; it was a masterclass in resilience and the pursuit of excellence that encouraged us all to pursue our dreams with equal vigor and heart.

Taylor Swift

I wanted to share the joy and excitement of our recent weekend in Toronto, a trip that turned out to be more than just a birthday celebration for my daughter — it became an unforgettable family experience filled with laughter, love, and the thrill of live music with Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams.

As many of you know, my daughter has been a Taylor Swift fan for as long as I can remember. Her 10th birthday seemed like the perfect opportunity to see her idol perform live. The anticipation was contagious as we counted down the days to the concert. Toronto greeted us with its vibrant energy, offering the perfect backdrop to our adventure.

On concert night, the atmosphere was electric. Seeing my daughter’s face light up as Taylor Swift took the stage was nothing short of magical. The music, the lights, and the crowd’s collective energy created a moment that made us feel connected and alive. It reminded me of the power of dreams and how special it is to share such experiences with loved ones.

First of all, Taylor Swift's superhuman energy and endurance on stage served as an incredible lesson in dedication and passion. Her ability to captivate and engage everyone from start to finish was an inspiring testament to the hard work and commitment she puts into her craft.

Watching her perform reminded us all of the importance of persistence and staying true to one's dreams, no matter how challenging the journey may seem. Taylor Swift's performance was not just a concert; it was a masterclass in resilience and the pursuit of excellence that encouraged us all to pursue our dreams with equal vigor and heart.

Taylor’s support for Gracie Abrams was evident throughout the concert. Taylor’s support of Gracie was filled with genuine admiration, highlighting their camaraderie rather than any competitive dynamic.

This mutual respect set a compelling example of how powerful women can uplift each other. At the same time, Gracie reciprocated that support by expressing her gratitude and admiration for Taylor, acknowledging the paths that Taylor had paved for young artists like herself.

This beautiful exchange between two talented women showcased the strength found in solidarity and collaboration. For young girls watching, it was an empowering message — a testament to the impact of women empowering women, showing them that their dreams are not only valid but achievable with the support of their fellow women.

As the weekend drew to a close, my heart was overflowing with gratitude and inspiration. Yet, despite all the excitement and unforgettable moments, the familiar comfort of home was calling me back. I’m such a homebody at heart, relishing in the cozy corners and peaceful moments that home offers.

Exciting Plans For 2025

Reflecting on an Amazing Conference Weekend with Incredible Women

I had the incredible opportunity to deliver five talks and lead a workout across two vibrant conferences. I realized that the true magic of the weekend was not just in the events themselves, but in the people who surrounded me.

I wanted to take a moment to share my exhilarating experiences at the Lead Her Summit and The Pediatric CEO Intensive — a whirlwind 48 hours filled with learning, connection, and inspiration.

I had the incredible opportunity to deliver five talks and lead a workout across two vibrant conferences. I realized that the true magic of the weekend was not just in the events themselves, but in the people who surrounded me.

My tribe — Diana, Kristi, Erica, Sonia, Kimberly, Kayla, and Hope — played an instrumental role in making the weekend unforgettable. Their encouragement, unwavering support, and positivity fueled my journey and enabled me to step onto each stage with confidence and passion.

It was their energy, whether through a comforting smile or a reassuring word, that empowered me to deliver my best.

Reflecting on this experience, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and motivation. It is a powerful reminder of how important it is to surround ourselves with those who lift us higher and inspire greatness.

As we move forward, let's carry the spirit of support and connection into everything we do.

As I sit in the airport lounge waiting for my flight, I find myself reflecting on the power of coming home. Moments like these that remind me just how much I cherish and miss my little family. Their love provides the strength and inspiration that fuels my passion and drive.

It's in their laughter, in the small gestures of love and support, that I find my greatest joy in life. While I take immense pride in the work and connections I make while away, it is the thought of coming home to them that gives me purpose.

Time away also allows my amazing husband, Mark, to shine. Over the weekend, he took on the role of both parents with grace and enthusiasm, creating a delightful series of adventures and memories for our children.

His ability to step up at home enables me to pursue my dreams without any worries. Knowing that he embraces this time with the kids, organizing fun activities and ensuring their happiness, is both comforting and inspiring. It reminds me that we are a team, with each of us contributing our strengths in different ways to build a life full of love, laughter, and balance.

As if this month couldn't be more amazing, our youngest is turning 10 this week! To celebrate this joyous milestone, we'll be embarking on a family adventure to see none other than Taylor Swift in concert.

The sheer anticipation buzzes in our household as the countdown begins, filling our hearts with excitement and joy. This experience is more than just a concert; it's a memorable journey that we all will cherish as a family.

Wishing you all an amazing week!

xoxo-
Ali

Embracing Life's Moments Without the Fear of Missing Out

Sometimes, honoring our need for rest and recharge is just as valuable as adventures.

Tea

I've been reflecting on something many of us are all too familiar with — FOMO, the fear of missing out.

This week, it hit home once again.

Mark surprised us with tickets to see Gracie Abrams in Philly. It was an unexpected treat, something that promised to be a cherished memory with family and friends. Yet, on the day of the show, I found myself utterly exhausted.

The allure of sweatpants, the cozy embrace of my couch, snuggles with my dog, and the idea of an early bedtime seemed unbeatable.

In that moment, I faced a dilemma that FOMO often presents — would I regret this decision? What if something incredible happened that I missed?

But here's what I'm learning: sometimes, honoring our need for rest and recharge is just as valuable as adventures.

It's okay to pause and prioritize our well-being and mental health over the fear of missing out. By doing so, we're refueling to fully engage in future experiences waiting just around the corner. In fact, Wednesday night we had our first 76ers game.

And here is the best part: in my place, our youngest daughter got to bring her best friend. Together, they created amazing memories at the show. They appreciated their time together, and to my delight, I was not missed.

The next day, I played the Gracie album to and from school, and I had my fix. Plus, she is opening for the Taylor Swift concert that we will be attending soon.

I'm beginning to realize that FOMO is something that is worth working through. By letting go of the fear of missing out, we give ourselves the freedom to enjoy life in the present, savoring the small moments and valuing our personal time.

Wishing you a fantastic week, filled with everything you need!

xoxo-

Celebrating Our Authentic Style

Today, I am celebrating my style as someone who loves to get inspired, and then taking that energy to create impact. 

This past week, I was supposed to be speaking at The Women Physician Wellness Conference in Amelia Island. Hurricane Milton had different plans, and our leader, Dr. Erica Howe, turned the in-person conference into a virtual one. Because… that is just her style.

You see, style is more than what we wear; it is how we show up.

I was then inspired to show up… leaning into the curiosity surrounding my own authentic style.

When Erica had to shift gears, she asked me to record (3) 45-minute workouts. I knew that Erica needed them ASAP in order to deliver her conference on time, so on Thursday, I spent the day working out. 

After 200 pushups and 500 squats, I hit the creatine and got in the sauna.

As I reflected, I realized I am beyond blessed that I was able to complete what I just did. I had this moment of pure acceptance of self. And, I did not disqualify the positive. I celebrated.

Then I asked myself - why don’t I celebrate all the things, all the time? The answer was pretty clear. I just need to make more space for the celebration.

So, I decided to celebrate more. My husband, Mark, spent an additional 3 hours editing my videos so they were ready to go on time. I celebrated him and enjoyed gratitude for how much he loves me.

Then, our youngest daughter Charlotte asked for a sleepover with 2 friends. We celebrated that kids feel comfortable coming to our house and that their parents trust us. Many DoorDashes later, the girls had a fantastic time AND I am still scraping acai bowls off the ceiling. 

Our oldest daughter, Betsy, has suddenly gotten into fashion. So, we took a trip to the mall and had some fun times picking out new things and celebrating our time together. We literally celebrated style.

Today, I am celebrating my style as someone who loves to get inspired, and then taking that energy to create impact. 

The most significant impact can occur when we are in complete alignment. We need to notice what is no longer in alignment for us. And, it is a kind thing to honor that. This allows space to choose what is in alignment, so our unique style can shine through. 

I believe that we were born with our style.

My style is inspired and impactful. What is yours????

Sending you so much love!

See My Before and After…

My journey has allowed me to offer programs that cured my own struggles, and now the struggles of many.

I am not a fan of before and after pictures, just so we can celebrate my 60 pound weight loss that I have maintained for over 22 years.

I share this picture so I can celebrate the fact that I loved my body 60 pounds heavier and here is why:

  1. It earned me a Division 1 softball scholarship

  2. It could leg press 1,000 pounds

  3. It could hit a softball over 250 feet

  4. It got me into medical school

  5. I loved it so much that I was committed to making it as healthy as possible

So, what happened 22 years ago?

After my last softball game, I made a decision that I was going to get in touch with myself. Learn to deal with my emotions rather than eat them. My body deserved better.

My journey is my greatest gift because it allowed me to understand the struggles that my clients face. Many now see my pictures and think that I never struggled, so how can I understand what they are going through?

My journey allowed me to start a health and fitness company that is changing the relationship of the doctor-patient. 

I understand nutrition in a way that is special because it works, and I am proof. 

My journey has allowed me to offer programs that cured my own struggles, and now the struggles of many.

My nutrition strategy was curated starting 22 years ago, and it has only been perfected. And, I am now teaching nutrition for healthcare professionals. And, it starts tomorrow.

It would be an honor to teach you the way to metabolic health through nutrition.

How a Broken Heel Led to New Friendships and Deeper Connections

What if these unexpected things in life have a gift hidden within them for you, just waiting to be discovered?

Life has a way of surprising us, sometimes in the most unexpected ways.

Recently, I experienced a minor hiccup that turned out to be a blessing in disguise — a broken boot heel! 

Normally this would not be a problem, however, this happened just minutes before I was giving my talk at PIMDCON24.

As I was waiting on the sidelines to be announced, I stepped down on my boot heel and felt it detach from the leather. What seemed like a problem quickly transformed into an opportunity to connect with my audience.

I told the story during my opener and I could see how it immediately allowed all to see that I was simply human. I wobbled through the talk, and it was just perfect… just as it was meant to be.

Through shared laughter and humorous exchanges, I found myself engaging more deeply with others, fostering genuine friendships and connections I hadn’t anticipated. It taught me that sometimes, the smallest inconveniences can lead to the greatest stories.

Now, PIMDCON was my first stop on my speaking circuit this weekend, and I only packed one pair of boots. I was beyond flattered when physician and style icon Dr. Tiffany Moon stepped in and had new boots delivered to the hotel so I could confidently approach my next event.

This gesture was so kind and it created such a wonderful connection and memory. It reminded me of the innate kindness that binds us and how a simple act of generosity can turn a challenging moment into an uplifting one.

Because of Dr. Moon's thoughtfulness, I approached my next engagement with renewed confidence, knowing that I had the support of amazing individuals like her. This experience has reinforced my belief in the power of community and the beautiful ripple effects that kindness can manifest in our lives.

This also created an amazing opportunity for me to hear all about Dr. Moon’s conference, LeadHer Summit, coming to Dallas November 8th through the 10th!! I have registered and I am so excited to attend this amazing event. You can learn all about the LeadHer Summit HERE.

So here is what I want to offer:

What if these unexpected things in life have a gift hidden within them for you, just waiting to be discovered? My broken heel certainly did. It not only led to forming new friendships, but also deepened my connections with those around me.

By embracing curiosity and staying open to the unfolding of events, we can uncover more gifts, lessons, and opportunities in what initially appear to be setbacks. Every twist and turn holds the potential to guide us toward something beautiful, if only we allow ourselves to explore it with an open heart and mind.

Wishing you an amazing week! Can't wait to share about my Brave Enough ‘24 experience where I will be giving a brand new talk on Stress.

Talk soon!

Your Lessons Will Continue to Come Until You Master Them

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.

Miraval Berkshires

As I reflect on the transformative experience at our community retreat at Miraval Berkshires, I am reminded of the beautiful truth that life's lessons persistently find their way to us until we truly absorb their wisdom.

Each moment of insight is an opportunity for growth, and our retreat was full of these enlightening "aha" moments. It became clear that challenges are not just obstacles; they are valuable teachers guiding us toward our fullest potential.

Have you thought about what lesson keeps representing itself to you?

It's important to recognize these recurring themes, as they often signal areas where growth is most needed and where the potential for personal evolution lies.

Embrace this reflection, not with frustration, but with an open heart and mind. Consider these moments as gentle nudges from the universe, encouraging you to dig deeper into understanding your path.

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. It's as if there's an invisible force pulling me back every time I try to establish limits that honor my well-being.

Yet, within this struggle lies the promise of liberation and self-respect that setting boundaries can bring. By acknowledging this challenging theme, I'm learning to view it not as a barrier, but as an essential part of my journey toward growth and self-discovery.

Remember, it's okay to assert your needs and create space for what truly matters. With empathy and perseverance, we can learn to respect our own boundaries, encouraging others to do the same.

It's a deeply human experience to want to preserve harmony and avoid discomfort for others, especially those we care about. Often, this inclination leads us to negotiate with our own boundaries, prioritizing others' feelings above our well-being.

By skirting around our boundaries, hoping to shield others from discomfort, we inadvertently undermine our own needs, sending a mixed message both to ourselves and the world.

It’s essential to remember that setting and maintaining boundaries is not an act of selfishness, but one of self-respect and authenticity.

We also have to be okay with others being wrong about us. We can acknowledge that we proceed with good intention always, and it might not make everyone feel good.

So here is your reflection question: Are you negotiating with holding your boundaries because it is just easier to avoid conflict? Remember, you can't run from this lesson.

It may feel like sidestepping conflict is the simplest route, but in reality, you'll ultimately have to overcome it to move on to your next growth opportunity.

I am all-in for my next growth opportunity, so back I go to my boundary work.

Sending you so much love this week!

xoxo

My Commitment to Teaching Effective Nutrition Strategy

Over 50% of adults are seeking help from doctors for weight loss, yet many of us feel unequipped to address this pressing need.

I want to express my heartfelt commitment to helping healthcare professionals become experts in nutrition, something we wish had happened in medical school. 

Throughout my journey in medicine, I've often felt the absence of a comprehensive focus on nutrition — an area that significantly impacts patient health and well-being. Understanding how to integrate nutritional knowledge into clinical practice is crucial for us as healthcare providers. 

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to share insights and practical applications with my peers, so we can empower ourselves and our patients for healthier lives.

Currently, over 50% of adults are seeking help from doctors for weight loss, yet many of us feel unequipped to address this pressing need.

As medical professionals, it’s imperative that we understand weight loss nutrition to provide the effective guidance our patients require.

This is precisely why I created my new three-part podcast series. It’s designed to equip you with essential knowledge and practical strategies in under an hour. Trust me, it's sooooooo good!

By tuning in, you will gain valuable insights that can make a real difference in your ability to assist patients on their weight loss journeys.

You can access the 3 part series HERE.

I really hope that you enjoy! I had so much fun creating!

Embracing New Adventures Together!

This balance has been a wonderful reminder that we can work hard and give ourselves the space to unwind.

As the girls enjoy their time at the shore with their grandparents, we've taken the opportunity to declutter our home — an endeavor that has been both refreshing and energizing.

While we typically love heading to the shore ourselves, our recent travels compelled us to hit pause and spend some quality time with our dog at home.

But you know what? It hit me that life doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing experience. Instead of feeling bound to choose one option over the other, we decided to embrace both! We rented a dog-friendly place for the weekend, allowing us to enjoy some much-needed relaxation by the water while still progressing on our home project.

This balance has been a wonderful reminder that we can work hard and give ourselves the space to unwind. Life feels so good when we shake off the extremes and allow ourselves the joy of meeting in the middle.

Can I also say that it feels so good to have a fresh start to the school year by getting the house in shape? There’s something incredibly uplifting about shedding the old and making way for the new. All of a sudden, those chargers we can never seem to find are showing up in the most unexpected places! It’s kind of amazing, really.

Sending you so much love!

Ali

Embracing Change and Finding Affirmation

When we are feeling extra stressed and overwhelmed, it is actually an emotional need of ours that is not being met.

The picture I am including with this post today is the one that I shared on my social media this week, and I really wanted to share it with you all here.

I wrote,

“You know when you feel some big shifts happening AND you are about to make some decisions AND you don’t know if you are doing the right thing?

Then… you review your photos from the day and realize that your face, your energy, your soul is saying- yes, you are doing the right thing.

That scenario is what this picture represents to me. Thank you to my incredible husband, Mark, for catching this moment of truth for me.”

And, here is the thing. I bet you all are coming up on some big decisions, too. I trust that you know the answer. I trust that you know what is best for you. And, I urge you to make the decision that serves YOU best.

You may not realize how much energy and effort you put out into the world. It is a ton! I want to offer that you deserve so much love for how much you care. Where will you find this love, you may ask? Create some space for the massive self-love and self-compassion that you deserve. 

Remember, when we are feeling extra stressed and overwhelmed, it is actually an emotional need of ours that is not being met. When we meet our own needs, we can continue to make good decisions for us because it becomes non-negotiable not to.

So for today’s reflection. What is it that you need? And, how can you meet that need for yourself? When you can meet this for yourself, you will be better connected with yourself, and better able to connect with others. 

Wishing you a beautiful week ahead…

Xoxo

Finding Abundance in Connection

When we prioritize our emotional needs, we unlock a deeper, more meaningful abundance.

Novitsky Family

Today, I want to share a powerful insight that has transformed my perspective on what it truly means to feel abundant in our lives. So often, we chase after more money or extra time, believing that these things will fill voids we might feel. However, I have discovered that the real secret to abundance lies in meeting our emotional needs.

Right now, I am embracing the joy of connection and excitement with my family, and this has profoundly enriched my life. Each laugh shared and moment savored gives me a sense of fulfillment that no amount of material wealth ever could.

When we prioritize our emotional needs, we unlock a deeper, more meaningful abundance. I encourage you to take a moment and reflect on what brings you that same sense of joy and connection. Let’s remember that true abundance isn’t about what we have; it’s about how we feel.

I just recorded a really powerful podcast on this topic, titled Finding Your "Enough": Exploring Abundance vs. Scarcity. In this episode, I delve deeper into the contrasts between these two mindsets and how they shape our daily experiences.

We often feel caught in a cycle of scarcity, believing that we are never quite enough in various aspects of our lives. This podcast aims to challenge that narrative by highlighting the importance of embracing our current realities and acknowledging our strengths. You can listen HERE.

I am off to Portland Oregon to see Olivia Rodrigo with my family!! I feel content and fulfilled… and it feels so good to be in this abundance.

Sending you so much love~

Embrace Simplicity in Every Aspect of Life!

It’s time to declutter not only our homes, but also the choices we make in every facet of our lives.

Ali Novitsky, MD

I want to invite you to join a powerful movement that is about more than just tidying up our spaces. It’s time to declutter not only our homes, but also the choices we make in every facet of our lives.

Imagine a life where your surroundings are serene, your meals are nourishing yet uncomplicated, and your connections with friends are meaningful, free from the excess that often weighs us down. By simplifying our wardrobes and prioritizing quality over quantity, we can create a personal style that reflects our true selves, not just trends. Let’s also take a hard look at our work commitments and assess what truly brings us joy and fulfillment.

What I learned in Greece is that I crave a simple and more intentional life, where every decision aligns with my core desires. As soon as I came home from the trip, I started the process of getting rid of items that don't serve me. I am feeling lighter in this process. And, I plan to go further. I am going to spend the next week checking in with my core desires and aligning my choices in my personal and professional life to honor these desires.

Now, I invite you to join me in identifying your top three core desires. This is not just an exercise; it’s an opportunity to reconnect with what truly matters to you.

Begin by contemplating three tangible things that you want in your life. These could be as simple as a peaceful home environment, a fulfilling career, or deeper connections with loved ones.

Next, pair each desire with the emotion that drives it. Ask yourself: Why is this desire important? What feelings does it evoke? Perhaps your desire for a peaceful home brings you a sense of calm and security, or the pursuit of meaningful relationships fills you with love and joy. Allow these emotions to guide you in defining your aspirations.

Then, with every decision you have to make, take a moment to consult your core desires and choose the path that aligns most closely with them. This practice is about cultivating awareness and making choices that resonate deeply with who you are and what you truly seek. When faced with the demands of daily life, ask yourself: Does this decision nurture my desire for peace, fulfillment, and connection?

By prioritizing your core desires, you empower yourself to break free from the noise and distractions, allowing clarity to guide your path. Each choice, no matter how small, becomes an opportunity to honor your true self, leading you toward a life that feels intentional and fulfilling.

Have a wonderful and intentional week,

Ali

Embracing Presence: My Reentry Strategy After Greece

My reentry strategy focuses on embracing presence, fostering mindfulness, and finding joy in simplicity.

Ali Novitsky, MD

I am preparing to return from an incredible journey in Greece, where I took a much-needed pause from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This trip was transformative, teaching me the importance of slowing down and sitting with the urges to constantly be productive. Instead of measuring success by my accomplishments, I began to assess my days based on how present I was in each moment.

This morning, I met a dear friend at the water's edge, a perfect setting for a peaceful start to the day. As we each put on our headphones, we immersed ourselves in our own self-guided yoga sessions, synchronizing our breath with the gentle sounds of nature. The tranquility of the water mirrored the calmness within us.

I greeted my morning friends, sharing smiles and warm hellos, before indulging in my usual cappuccino, which brought an extra burst of joy to my morning ritual. To my delight, I made friends with a new cat who wandered by, adding an unexpected charm to the experience. By 8:30 AM, I had not only embraced mindfulness through yoga and connection but also engaged in a delightful business conversation that sparked new ideas and possibilities. These moments reinforced the beauty of being present and open to the world around us.

We spent the late morning and afternoon exploring Anos Syros, its charming streets inviting us to uncover hidden gems and local treasures. Each boutique we visited offered a unique selection of gifts, and as we filled our bags with wonderful finds for our friends, we felt a sense of connection to each item, knowing it would carry a piece of our adventure back home. 

Standing atop a viewpoint that overlooked the city, we paused to take in the breathtaking panorama—rooftops glistening in the sun, the azure sea stretching endlessly beyond. As we breathed in the salty air, our hearts swelled with hope and excitement, imagining the lovely day when we would return to this vibrant place again soon. It's these moments of reflection that remind us to cherish our experiences and nurture our dreams, as they pave the way for new adventures just on the horizon.

As I reenter my daily routine, I’m bringing this valuable mindset back with me. My reentry strategy focuses on embracing presence, fostering mindfulness, and finding joy in simplicity. I will remind myself that nothing has to be a rush. In a world that often glorifies speed and hustle, it’s vital to reclaim the beauty of simplicity.

The richness of our experiences lies not in the whirlwind of activities but in the relationships we nurture. It’s the moments shared with loved ones that truly define our existence. Setting boundaries is also an act of self-care—these boundaries empower us to protect our peace and well-being, reminding us that it's okay to say no. It’s in following our desires that we discover the most epic versions of ourselves. When we listen to our inner desires, we create a life aligned with our genuine passions.

Above all, believing in yourself is the ultimate comfort; it ignites a spark that fuels your journey and helps you navigate both challenges and triumphs with grace.

Greece has truly captured my heart, and I am filled with gratitude for the experiences and insights gained during my time there. Each moment spent immersed in the beauty of my surroundings has deepened my appreciation for the richness of life. Hopefully, next week, after I return, I will be able to share the good news that my reentry is going well. I am committed to nurturing this newfound perspective and embracing presence in my daily life.

Sending you so much love!

Ali

What Greece is Teaching Me About Longevity

Witnessing their practices reinforces the invaluable lessons they offer in leading a long, healthy, and fulfilling life.

Syros, Greece
Syros, Greece

Dear Friends,

I am writing to you from the stunning island of Syros, Greece, where I have immersed myself in both the natural beauty and the vibrant, health-conscious lifestyle of the locals.

Over the past month, I’ve had the pleasure of leading Mind-Body Workouts on the pier here, guiding around 50 incredible individuals toward improved health and well-being.

During this time, I’ve gathered some fascinating insights into longevity, inspired by the Greek way of living. The islanders’ balanced approach to nutrition, their active lifestyles, and their emphasis on community and mental wellness offer us valuable clues on how to enhance our own lives back home.

Living here, even temporarily, has reinforced my belief in the profound connection between mind, body, and environment in fostering a long and healthy life.

Each morning as I lead the workouts, I am inspired by a group of older adults serenely swimming in the crystal-clear waters. They embody the timeless secrets to longevity that we can all strive to incorporate into our lives:

  1. Community Support: They have built strong, supportive communities that offer social connections and a sense of belonging, essential for mental and emotional well-being.

  2. Regular Physical Activity: They engage in consistent physical activities such as swimming, walking, and gardening, which keep their bodies strong and resilient.

  3. Balanced Nutrition: Their diet focuses on whole, unprocessed foods, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, providing essential nutrients without overindulgence.

  4. Stress Management: They practice daily rituals such as mindfulness, meditation, and spending time in nature to manage stress effectively and maintain mental clarity.

  5. Purpose and Passion: They pursue activities they love and maintain a sense of purpose, which keeps their minds active and their spirits joyful.

Witnessing their practices reinforces the invaluable lessons they offer in leading a long, healthy, and fulfilling life.

Syros is giving me the space to witness what a vibrant, healthy life can look like. The island's serene atmosphere and balanced lifestyle have provided a perfect backdrop for self-reflection and growth. Living among the locals, I have experienced firsthand the profound impact of community, physical activity, and mindful living.

These powerful lessons have not only rejuvenated me, but also reignited my passion for holistic wellness.

I am so excited to bring these lessons home with me and share them with all of you, hoping to inspire and empower everyone to embrace a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Sending you love from Syros!

xo,
Ali

The Beauty of A Simple Life

This journey has reaffirmed the beauty of simplicity and the profound happiness that comes from experiences rather than possessions.

Ali Novitsky, MD

I want to share with you our extraordinary travels in Greece, an experience that has not only been beautiful but profoundly life-changing.

Among the incredible places we've visited, the island of Mykonos stands out, especially for one breathtaking moment – watching the sunset. Words cannot do justice to the explosion of colors we witnessed as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the shimmering waters. It was a scene so awe-inspiring, it felt as though time had momentarily paused.

Living here in a small apartment has brought its own unique joys and simplicity. Imagine a life where everything just becomes easier. We walk everywhere, savoring the beautiful Greek landscapes and historic streets. Shopping for fresh produce daily has turned into an exciting ritual, where we select the best fruits, the juiciest vegetables, and engage with welcoming local vendors.

And the coffee culture! We sit at quaint little cafés for hours, sipping on aromatic coffee, indulging in meaningful conversations, and meeting fascinating new people. It's a slower pace of life that has allowed us to envision what our own lives could become, unburdened by too many "things."

This journey has reaffirmed the beauty of simplicity and the profound happiness that comes from experiences rather than possessions. We are even starting to wonder how soon we can return to Greece. The allure of this magnificent country has embedded itself deeply into our hearts. Every corner of Greece offers a new adventure, a fresh perspective, and sincere warmth from its people.

For now, we will enjoy all the time we have here and try to curate what we want to bring home with us. How can we create more simplicity? How can we create more space to reflect and grow? How can we live by different rules, possibly? These are the questions that weave through our minds as we walk through the ancient ruins, sit by the serene beaches, and share laughs with new friends.

Our vacation in Greece is not just about exploring a new land; it's about rediscovering ourselves and redefining our own sense of happiness. The lessons we've learned here will serve as inspiration, guiding us toward a simpler, more intentional way of living, no matter where our adventures take us next.

Wishing you an amazing week!!!

Ali

What The Nomad Life is Teaching Me

This journey is filling me with an immense curiosity about what else is possible in life.

Novitsky Family

As I am typing to you from Syros, Greece, I wanted to share this life-changing experience with all of you. Our trip wasn't just about sightseeing; it was a conscious choice to embrace the concept of slow travel and reset our perspective on what truly matters.

Imagine waking up every morning with the Aegean Sea as your backdrop, buying fresh produce, fish, and meat directly from local markets, and savoring the flavors of a simpler life.

Each day, we walk to and from school, soaking in the vibrant culture and connecting with the community around us. One of the highlights was working out with new friends, surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of the Mediterranean.

This journey is filling me with an immense curiosity about what else is possible in life. It's been a reminder that we can prioritize our well-being and find joy in the everyday moments.

I had a very interesting observation as I was preparing to lead a workout for our group. We had just dropped the kids off at school and I noticed this internal clock that was telling me to hurry up and get the class started. And, then I realized that I am hours ahead of the U.S. and I did not actually have anywhere to be for the next 7 hours.

This realization was a huge wake up in the hustle routine that many of us find ourselves in. So, I started asking myself some questions. What has to get done today? Who do I have to communicate with today? What do I need today?

Sometimes it is so easy to be so set in our culture that stepping away for a longer period of time is truly necessary to reevaluate. By immersing ourselves in a different environment, we gain a fresh perspective on our lives and can identify what truly brings us happiness and fulfillment. It's in these moments of pause that we find clarity and purpose, reminding ourselves to prioritize what genuinely matters.

Stepping outside our routine allows us to shed the unnecessary stress and rediscover the joy of living more intentionally. This experience in Syros has reaffirmed the importance of slowing down, embracing new opportunities, and cherishing the small, everyday moments that make life extraordinary.

Sending you all of our love from Greece!!!!

How Screen Time Saved the Day in Greece

Here’s to finding that delicate balance and recognizing the silver linings in our everyday challenges.

Novitsky Family

I want to share a story that many of you might relate to, especially in this age of constant connectivity and digital screens. I must admit, like many parents, there are days when my kids spend a bit more time in front of screens than I would ideally like. Balancing screen time with other activities is a challenge we all face, but it’s also important to acknowledge the unexpected benefits that come from technology.

We are currently traveling in Greece and our first day in Athens, we experienced a disruption in our Verizon service. It left us in quite a bind, unsure of how to regain our connection in a foreign city. That’s when my 12-year-old stepped up. Using the knowledge and skills he had gained from his time on the internet, she figured out how to get us cell phone service. Her resourcefulness and quick thinking not only resolved our problem, but also left us incredibly proud and grateful.

This incident reminded me that while moderation is key, the digital world also equips our children with valuable skills and knowledge that can be indispensable. It taught us resilience and highlighted how adaptability can turn a stressful situation into a huge win.

So, here’s to finding that delicate balance and recognizing the silver linings in our everyday challenges. We absolutely celebrated our daughter, and we felt so proud that she is capable and clever and just fine with electronics and all.

Now, here is where the story gets good. My younger daughter noticed that she wasn't feeling as happy. And, I sat her down as asked, "Why do you think that is?" She said, "With all the travel, I have been on my iPad too much. I would like to give it up for the next month unless I need it for school or a sleepover." I was absolutely amazed. She recognized what the issue was and how she could fix it.

I was so inspired that I decided to sweeten the deal. I let her know that as a reward for sticking to her plan, we would do a girls’ weekend at a place of her choosing. She was happy and delighted and ALL-IN.

I am looking forward to what our travels to Greece will bring us as a family. Will send updates next week!!!

Talk soon!

Xoxo,
Ali

Find and Embrace Your Zone of Genius

Recognizing and nurturing these gifts can exponentially enhance our lives, filling them with purpose, passion, and fulfillment.

Hand Holding Lightbulb

I want to share something deeply personal and inspiring that I've learned and embraced – the power of discovering and operating in our zone of genius.

Each of us has unique gifts and talents that set us apart and make us extraordinary. Recognizing and nurturing these gifts can exponentially enhance our lives, filling them with purpose, passion, and fulfillment.

For me, that special gift is my love for exercise and my natural ability to help others start and integrate it into their lives.

Imagine waking up every day excited and energized, knowing you're doing something that lights up your soul and serves others. That's the magic of living in your zone of genius; it's where your greatest talents meet your deepest joys, and from that junction flows a river of endless possibilities.

Many of you have gifts waiting to be discovered or given more attention. I encourage you to look into what makes you unique and how you can use these qualities to enrich your own life and the lives of those around you.

Reflect on this: you know that something is your gift when other people find it very hard, yet for you, it feels like second nature – you don't even have to think about it. These are the moments when your talents shine the brightest, effortlessly. It’s important to recognize and celebrate these gifts, for they hold the key to our true potential and happiness.

We all have something special within us, something uniquely ours that the world needs. Embrace it, nurture it, and let it guide you toward a life of greater purpose and joy. Remember, each of us contributes to the tapestry of life in a unique way, and it's by uplifting and celebrating these gifts that we create a more vibrant and enriched world for ourselves and others.

If I could gift you anything at all, it would be your most optimal health. Picture yourself brimming with vitality, waking up each day with a spring in your step and a smile on your face. This isn't just a dream – it's entirely within your reach. Join me this year, and let's help you find your love of movement. Muscles & Mindset is now enrolling!!

Meet One of My Greatest Teachers

Lilly has reminded us to savor each moment, to find joy in the little things, and to never take love and companionship for granted.

 
Lilly Novitsky

I want to share a heartfelt story about one of the most significant blessings in my life — our adorable mini Labradoodle, Lilly. When we adopted her during the peak of Covid, I could never have anticipated the incredible journey we were about to embark on.

From the moment she entered our home, this little bundle of joy brought an immense amount of love and energy into our lives. Her playful antics and unwavering loyalty have been a constant source of happiness, especially during such a trying time in the world. But beyond the joy, she has taught us immeasurable lessons in patience, empathy, and the simple pleasures of life.

Lilly also helped us recognize anxiety that we were experiencing throughout our entire household, and it is why we were able to address it head-on. It allowed our youngest daughter, Charlotte, to work through her fears and come out on the other side confident. Lilly's soothing presence and unconditional love provided Charlotte with the courage she needed to face her anxieties, offering both comfort and a sense of security. Seeing Charlotte blossom has been incredibly rewarding and a testament to the profound impact a pet can have on a family’s emotional well-being.

When any of us are sick, Lilly lays on top of us. She doesn't leave our side, providing a warmth and comfort that soothes both body and soul. It's as if she intuitively knows her presence is the best medicine we need. Her gentle, unwavering support during these times reinforces the deep bond we share with her. Truly, Lilly is more than just our pet — she's a cherished member of our family whose love and care enrich our lives in ways we never thought possible.

She's reminded us to savor each moment, to find joy in the little things, and to never take love and companionship for granted. Looking back, adopting her was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Our lives are undeniably richer, fuller, and more meaningful because of her.

Thank you for letting me share this with you.

Sending all of my love,

Ali
