You Deserve to Feel Confident Talking About Nutrition
If you’ve ever felt uneasy giving nutrition advice—or frustrated that you didn’t have better answers when a patient asked you about macros, sugar, or supplements—please know this:
You are not alone. And it’s not your fault.
As physicians, we’ve been trained to save lives, solve complex problems, and respond to emergencies. But when it comes to nutrition? Most of us received barely a few hours of education. No roadmap. No practical tools. And certainly no guidance on how to confidently apply it in the clinic.
Meanwhile, your patients are turning to social media, influencers, and Google—because they desperately want someone they trust to help them make sense of it all.
“My doctor referred me to a dietitian, but my insurance only covers six visits per year. I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life. How is that enough?”
“By the time I felt safe and understood by my dietitian… it was my last covered session. I cried in the parking lot.”
“Every time I see a new provider, I have to start from scratch. One told me to go keto. The next said absolutely not. I’m so tired of being confused.”
“I felt judged—not supported. I just wanted someone to help me figure out what works for me.”
“They told me to log my food and come back in six months. I needed help. Not a checklist.”
“Why is obesity treated like a temporary issue when it’s been part of my life for decades?”
“I’m doing my best. I’m already eating less fat, watching my carbs, trying to move more. I just want someone who understands the science and the struggle.”
These stories aren’t rare. They’re happening every day.
But here’s the beautiful part:
We can change this.
I Created This Program Because I Believe in You
Over the past eight years, I’ve worked closely with women physicians—brilliant, compassionate leaders—who wanted to take better care of themselves and empower their patients with more than just prescriptions.
Through that journey, I developed a practical, evidence-based, deeply supportive nutrition training program designed specifically for healthcare professionals.
One that respects your time. One that honors your expertise. One that fills in the gaps—without piling on more overwhelm.
And now, I’ve made it even better.
What’s Inside the Program?
✔️ 24 modules on topics you wish were covered in med school
✔️ Custom tools like protein charts, macro calculators, and meal planning guides
✔️ 14 Longevity & Healthspan modules (with exact scripts to use with your patients)
✔️ Monthly LIVE Q&A calls + replays, so you’re never left wondering what to say
✔️ Up to 48 CME credits, use up to 30 for Group Two credits for Obesity Medicine board certification
✔️ Done-for-you clinician handouts to use in real time
But more than anything?
This program gives you confidence.
It gives you language.
It gives you freedom from the doubt that creeps in when you know nutrition matters—but you weren’t trained to talk about it.
This Isn’t Just Another Course—It’s a Return to Why You Became a Doctor
I built this for you because I’ve been where you are.
Because I believe that when we nourish ourselves, we show up differently—for our patients, our families, and our purpose.
Because I’ve seen what happens when a physician is empowered to lead with both compassion and clarity—and I want that for you, too.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to invest in yourself and your practice… this is it.
Let’s change the way medicine does nutrition—together.
Why We Created Nutrition Training & Obesity Prevention Program for Healthcare Professionals
(aka Why You’re Going to Love Every Second of It)

Here’s why this training isn’t just needed—it’s non-negotiable for anyone who wants to lead, heal, and thrive in modern medicine:

Obesity, diabetes, heart disease—they all start on the plate. Imagine if your impact didn’t start in the ER, but in the kitchen.

9. Because You’re Done Competing With Google
With your expertise, you’ll be the go-to source—no more fighting Dr. TikTok or Nurse Instagram.
10. Because Metabolic Health Is Everything
From insulin resistance to inflammation, nutrition is the gateway to reversing disease. You’ll learn how to use it powerfully and sustainably.
11. Because You Want to Work Smarter With Your Team
Better conversations with dietitians. Better integration in multidisciplinary care. This program makes you the ultimate collaborator.
12. Because This is What Patients Are Begging For
They want real nutrition support—and they want it from you.
13. Because You Deserve to Thrive Too
This program isn’t just about helping patients. It’s about giving you the tools to eat, feel, and function at your best—so you can keep doing the work you love.
14. Because Women’s Health Needs Nuance
You’ll get the tools to address everything from PCOS to perimenopause, with confidence and clarity.
15. Because You Actually Want to Move the Needle in Public Health
Nutrition is one of the most powerful ways to drive change at scale—and you’ll be part of that movement.

Why Choose Our Program?
Over the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside some of the most compassionate, hardworking women physicians—supporting them as they found their way back to themselves.
Together, we’ve done more than talk about nutrition or wellness. We’ve created space for transformation—starting with their own health and radiating outward into their practices, their patients, and their lives.
These women didn’t just learn how to eat better or feel better (though they absolutely did). They became confident leaders in a new kind of medicine—one that honors science and humanity, evidence and empathy.
What’s been most meaningful to me is watching how, once they reclaimed their energy and vitality, they couldn’t help but share it. They began bringing personalized, practical nutrition into every patient conversation—creating ripples of change that still give me goosebumps.
This program is a reflection of that journey.
It’s built from real stories, real science, and real hope. And it’s here to support you, just like it supported them.

Nice to Meet You!
Hi, I’m Dr. Ali Novitsky, a triple board-certified physician in obesity medicine, pediatrics, and neonatology, and the founder of The FIT Collective®, where I’ve spent the past eight years working with women physicians to optimize their health.
As a seasoned nutrition and exercise strategist specializing in metabolic health, I’ve helped countless healthcare professionals transform their own lives — and, in turn, bring these principles to their patients.
Many of these physicians have been informally incorporating my strategies into their practices for years, and they’ve asked me time and again to create an official training program. That’s why I developed The Nutrition Training Program, a course designed to give healthcare professionals the tools, confidence, and science-backed strategies to provide impactful nutrition counseling, even with limited time during patient visits.
My passion for this work is deeply personal. My own health journey began at six years old, navigating the challenges of weight, body image, and diet culture. After breaking free from restrictive cycles, shedding 60 pounds, and maintaining my progress for over 22 years, I understand the emotional and physical hurdles many face. This experience, combined with my medical expertise, drives my commitment to empowering others with simple, sustainable, and effective approaches to health.
Through this program, I teach you how to seamlessly integrate nutrition counseling into your practice without adding extra stress to your packed schedule. Whether your goal is to guide patients through sustainable weight loss, improve metabolic health, or foster long-term wellness, I’ll show you how to make every interaction count.
As a former Division 1 athlete and a physician specializing in obesity medicine, I combine real-world strategies with evidence-based science to create a comprehensive, actionable framework. My approach prioritizes breaking free from diet culture, honoring the authentic self, and embracing sustainable habits that foster both confidence and joy.
In my Nutrition Training Program, we’ll bridge the gap between science and real-life application, empowering you to elevate your practice while helping your patients thrive.
Nutrition That Doctors Recommend to Their Patients
-
Dr. Sara Ayers, Pediatrics & Obesity Medicine
"As a pediatrician and obesity medicine physician, I was thrilled that Dr. Ali's program includes modules specifically focused on working with kids. Her relatable, down-to-earth style and engaging videos make learning not only enjoyable but incredibly impactful. The principles she teaches are effective, practical, and designed to empower both providers and patients without feeling overwhelming. If you're working in healthcare, this program is an absolute must—it’s a game-changer for delivering compassionate, results-driven care."
-
Dr. Matthea Rentea, Obesity Medicine
“I have been able to include Dr. Alis simple approach and get increased results with my patients. They really understand very quickly what’s important. This was hard for me to stress before in quick visits. I was also asking them to do too many things and they would be overwhelmed. I really recommend Ali’s approach for clinicians that want to help their patients in a quick, strategic, efficient way. “
-
Dr. Daisy Estrada, Family & Obesity Medicine
“As a busy primary care physician, I find myself trying to educate my patients on how to improve their nutrition to avoid and/or improve chronic medical problems. Dr. Ali Novitsky’s nutritional training has helped me address this efficiently during the short clinical encounter. I am able to provide them an individualized nutritional approach to created sustainable changes without overwhelming the patient with too many changes. The results have been incredible. I also have benefited from the nutritional training personally. I recommend Dr. Ali Novitsky’s nutritional training to all clinicians who want to address an important pillar in their patients health journey.”
-
Dr. Mark Novitsky, Psychiatry & Obesity Medicine
“I cannot stress enough the value of Dr. Ali Novitsky's nutrition training. Her program addresses the vital gaps that medical training often leaves unexamined, providing not just foundational knowledge applicable to all patients, but also the nuanced understanding necessary for individualized care. It has not only transformed my ability to manage my patients effectively but has been instrumental in helping me optimize my own health”
-
Dr. Katie Jobbins, Internal Medicine & Obesity Medicine
“Dr Ali’s approach to health not only includes the physical aspect but how best to approach what we use to fuel our bodies. Her approach with nutrition is the training many of doctor’s wish we had received in medical school and allows us to level what we can offer to patients “
-
Dr. Ali Miles, Pediatrics & Cardiac Critical Care
“Dr. Ali’s simple, health-focused programs have been game-changing for me. So many of us grew up and were trained with the shortsighted and weight-focused philosophy of “eat less, move more.” I am now able to take what I have learned back to my patients and counsel them efficiently and effectively in a way that prioritizes long term, sustainable wellness. “
Dr. Laura Demoya
"This program was truly exceptional for me, providing not only fresh, insightful content but also a wealth of medical knowledge that was presented in a simple, practical way anyone can understand and apply to their daily life. I especially appreciated how it debunked common nutrition and diet myths, offering a refreshing perspective."
Julie Metelski
“I just completed the coursework for the Nutrition Training Program and wanted to dropa note. I am a 66-year-old semi-retired IT project manager. I have struggled for my entire life with being overweight and all the issues that came along with that. I have been on diets from Weight Watchers onward, taking weight loss drugs (pills) long before the GLP-1s came to market, and having had 2 Gastric bypass surgeries in the 1990s. I am not a medical professional, so my interest in this course was personal. After finally succeeding in getting to a ’normal’ weight at this point in my life, maintenance is my challenge. The information provided in this course has given me the tools and confidence that I can conquer my maintenance goals. Thank you, Ali, for opening your program to non-medical professionals to participate, I've not seen this opportunity elsewhere. “
Dr. M
“Enrolling in Dr. Ali Novitsky’s nutrition program has been an invaluable experience. Through her teachings, I’ve gained more insight into nutrition, exercise, and obesity medicine than I ever did from other CME courses or exam preparation alone. I’m thrilled to have passed the ABOM exam and incredibly grateful for Ali’s guidance and expertise.”
Dr. Komal Patil-Sisodia
"As an endocrinologist, obesity medicine physician, and menopause expert, I can confidently say that Dr. Ali's nutrition training is 100% on point. For the past six years, I’ve been using her principles to guide my patients toward optimal metabolic health, and the results have been extraordinary. This training is uniquely focused on achieving sustainable, evidence-based outcomes, and there’s truly nothing else like it out there. It’s a game-changer for anyone serious about advancing their expertise in metabolic health and obesity medicine."
Dr. Diana Pallin
"As an obesity medicine doctor with 10 years of experience in the field, Dr. Ali Novitsky's nutrition training program has been transformative. It provided me with the most up-to-date principles to help my patients achieve their best results. What sets this program apart is its robust and innovative approach, incorporating a creativity component that inspires both patients and providers to take meaningful action. I feel excited, confident, and deeply grateful knowing that I am bringing the very best to my patients."
Dr. Bridget Godwin
"Completing Dr. Ali’s Nutrition Training program has been a game-changer. As a pediatric gastroenterologist with an interest in nutrition and integrative medicine, her principles rounded out my knowledge, filling in the piece of the pie focused on how a balanced diet can positively impact metabolic health. Her training includes multiple ways to offer nutrition plans, allowing for extremely personalized recommendations. She also includes a beautiful and gentle way to speak to adolescents about their health, always being thoughtful and careful to avoid bringing diet culture into the conversation. I am deeply honored to join Dr. Ali’s team in Transform where I can help others learn these life-changing principles."
Dr. Ashley Sandeen
"Dr. Ali's nutrition training program is so comprehensive that it leaves absolutely nothing uncovered. The principles she teaches are practical, effective, and life-changing—I use them for myself, my family, and my clients with remarkable success. This program is a must for anyone serious about making a difference in addressing obesity rates in our country. It's a resource that empowers healthcare professionals and individuals alike to drive meaningful change and improve lives."
Christina Moore
"I am not a doctor, but I truly appreciate this course. It’s inspiring to see training aimed at changing the status quo for both doctors and trainers. The section on motivational interviewing was especially impactful—I hope all doctors take a course like this to learn how to create a safe and supportive environment for their patients. I’ve gained so much insight, not only about what I can work on in my own life but also in how I show up as a patient.”
