Transform®: The DistressRx™ Method for Women Doctors
A 12-Month Experience to Regulate, Rebuild, and Reclaim
Heal Your Distress. Reclaim Your Power. Transform® Your Life.
A neuroscience-backed coaching experience for women doctors who are ready to regulate their nervous system, reconnect to purpose, and lead with grounded confidence.
We Were Trained to Save Lives — But Somewhere Along the Way, We Lost Ourselves
We have mastered medicine, carried the call schedules, and borne the emotional weight that keeps others alive.
But our own sparkle? Quietly eroding.
As women doctors, we aren’t burning out because we are weak — we have been conditioned to override our biology.
The problem isn’t you.
It’s a system that glorifies self-sacrifice.
And the solution begins with regulation.

The Bridge Between Knowledge and Change
Most wellness programs teach you what to do.
The DistressRx™ Method™ helps you become who you are when you do it.

The DistressRx™ Method
The Science of Regulation Meets the Art of Transformation
The DistressRx™ Method™ has become the foundation of everything inside Transform®.
It’s our proprietary, neuroscience-based system for decoding stress, regulating emotion, and transforming reactivity into resilience.
You’ll move through three progressive phases that help you understand, rewire, and integrate your unique stress patterns:
Phase 1 – Identify & Understand Your Distress Type
Discover how your nervous system responds under pressure.
Through the Distress Type Validation Tool, you’ll uncover your dominant stress pattern—the unique way your mind and body protect you when overwhelmed.
Understanding your Distress Type is the first step toward regulation and relief. You’ll learn whether you most often express stress through one of six core patterns:
Assertive Distress — Reactivity, conflict, or control when under pressure
Isolation Distress — Withdrawal, shutdown, or emotional detachment
Control Distress — Rigidity, overplanning, or micromanaging
Impulsivity Distress — Quick fixes, overcommitment, or poor pacing
Validation Distress — People-pleasing, perfectionism, or fear of disapproval
Catastrophizing Distress — Worst-case thinking, hypervigilance, or anticipatory anxiety
By identifying your primary pattern, you’ll gain clarity on your burnout risk factors, emotional triggers, and the exact regulation strategies that bring you back into balance.
Phase 2 – Relationship & Regulation Mastery
Use the Distress Interaction Matrix to understand how your stress type interacts with others in both regulated and dysregulated states. Improve personal and professional relationship dynamics, deepen trust, and prevent burnout.
Phase 3 – Integration Through Neuropsychological Lenses
Explore 12 science-backed frameworks that connect your thoughts, emotions, and physiology. You’ll gain tools for emotional security, boundary mastery, and cognitive resilience.

Transform® participants report measurable gains in clarity, energy, and regulation — with consistent improvements across all 12 dimensions of well-being.
“Transform® gave me my life back — and my joy in medicine.”
“I finally feel like myself again.”
“My patients feel my calm before I say a word.”
Dr. Ali Novitsky, Creator of Transform®
“I live and intimately know this stress cycle both personally and professionally. I know what it means to push through exhaustion, override your body, and keep showing up — even when your nervous system is screaming for rest.
For years, I did everything medicine taught me to do: achieve more, care harder, give endlessly. But underneath the success was depletion. I was running on survival physiology — the same chronic stress that drives burnout, emotional fatigue, and disconnection for so many of us in medicine.
Transform® was born out of that lived experience and a deep conviction that we can heal differently. This work isn’t about pushing through. It’s about rebuilding from the inside out — starting with your nervous system. It’s about integrating compassion with neuroscience, truth with physiology, and purpose with practicality.
And I don’t do this work alone. Transform® is powered by an extraordinary team of women physicians — each one an expert in her field and a leader in her own right. Together, we bring decades of collective experience across medicine, psychology, exercise physiology, hormone science, and coaching.
We’ve lived this journey ourselves. We’ve studied it, taught it, and embodied it. And now, we’re here to walk with you — through regulation, resilience, and the reclamation of your full power as a physician and a woman.”
