Are you someone that tends to shy away from exercise? We know movement is important but when you don't know where to start, what's reasonable, or why you're doing it, those mental blocks can get in the way of success. Today I have invited a true leader in this space, Dr. Ali Novitsky, to motivate us to ditch the “all or nothing” approach in favor of optimizing our unique potential. Dr. Novitsky takes a really holistic approach, focusing on mental, emotional, and physical health. In this episode, we’ll be diving into: What are the benefits of movement? What age do we typically start to see muscle mass decrease? How much protein should we be getting, specifically with GLP-1 medications? How much resistance training should we be doing? Are the body composition scales we use at home actually accurate?

They're actually really gifted at things that require a lot of strength, but nobody ever told them that, so they usually shy away from a lot of these activities.” - Dr. Ali Novitsky “Exercise doesn't have to be this marathon. It doesn't have to be this all out sprint all the time. Ten minutes a day is a big deal. Ten minutes is more than most people are doing.” - Dr. Ali Novitsky “Our muscles actually want to be strong. So when you start taxing them just a little bit, you start gaining strength pretty quickly.” - Dr. Ali Novitsky Audio Stamps 02:48 - Dr. Novitsky tel All of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.
