The Stress Type Quiz — Dr. Ali Novitsky, MD
Free · About 2 Minutes

You're not undisciplined. You have a pattern — and it has a name.

There are six stress types. The plan that works for everyone else keeps collapsing on you — not because you lack discipline, but because it was never built for yours. In about two minutes, you'll know which type runs you under pressure, and the first move that fits it.

What you walk away with

Your dominant stress type — and the first move that fits it.

Your type · how it runs you under load · one regulation move, the moment you finish.

Free · instant result

About two minutes. Your result the second you submit.

If this is you

You've done the work. And under pressure, you still default to the same pattern.

You've read the books. Done the therapy. Hired the trainer and run the plan — the good one, the one that worked for everyone else. And when the load actually climbs — a brutal call schedule, a fight you didn't start, a week that won't let up — you watch yourself reach for the same reaction every time.

That isn't a discipline problem. It's a pattern, and the pattern has a name. You can't change a move you've never named.

Maybe it looks like:

  • Taking control of everything, because slowing down feels unsafe.
  • Going quiet and handling it alone, again.
  • The mind racing to the worst version before you can catch it.
  • Reaching for food, the phone, the wine — anything to take the edge off.
  • Needing someone to tell you it's okay before you can breathe.
What you get

Two minutes. Three things you'll actually use.

01

Your dominant stress type

The one running you when the load climbs.

Not a personality label. A clear read on how your nervous system actually copes under pressure — named, finally, so you can work with it.

02

Your first move

One regulation step, the second you finish.

Not a thirty-day plan. One specific move built for your type, that you can use the next time you feel the pattern start.

03

Why nothing held before

The reason the last plan didn't stick.

You'll see why it was never about willpower — the advice just skipped the layer underneath. And what to do instead.

The six stress types
Assertive Control Isolation Validation Catastrophizing Impulsivity

You carry some of all six. The quiz finds the one running you under load — the place regulation starts.

Why it matters

You can't regulate a pattern you can't name.

Most advice hands every woman the same fix. But a nervous system under load doesn't cope in one way — it copes in six.

Name yours, and the move that finally works stops being a guess. Name it to tame it isn't a slogan — it's where regulation actually starts. And regulation is the layer underneath everything else: the weight, the sleep, the patience you keep running out of.

Who built this

Dr. Ali Novitsky, MD

Triple board-certified in obesity medicine, pediatrics, and neonatology. Master certified coach. Creator of DistressRx™ — the framework behind the six stress types you're about to find yours in.

She didn't read this in a textbook. She lived the pattern herself for fourteen years, until the variable that finally moved turned out to be her own regulation — not another plan. That's the whole reason this starts with your stress type, not a meal plan.

The same regulation-first work at the foundation of everything she teaches — distilled into a two-minute starting point.

On the work

"I am no longer afraid of any emotion and know that I have the skills to manage all of them."

— A physician, in her own words

"She created a safe space where I could feel my feelings (and not buffer them away)."

Why take it now

Two minutes to stop running someone else's playbook.

There's no cost and no catch. You answer a few questions, and the moment you submit, you get your dominant stress type and one move you can use the next time the pattern starts. That's the whole promise.

Most women have never once been told what's actually running underneath the hard days — in plain language, named, with something to do about it. This is that, in two minutes.

Two minutes. Your type. Your first move. Free.
