Episode 133: Dr. Philip Ovadia

We are joined today by a very inspiring doctor, Dr. Philip
Ovadia. Dr. Ovadia is a cardiothoracic surgeon and has seen great
results using a low-carb dietary intervention with his patients.
Having struggled with obesity earlier in his life, he realized
that he had to make a change and needed an answer to his weight
problem. That answer came in the form of low-carb which he
discovered after attending a lecture by Gary Taubes.


We discuss the causes of heart disease, the metabolic markers for
heart disease, the appropriate time and place for the usage of
Statin drugs vs. lifestyle change, and the central role that
insulin resistance plays in virtually all chronic disease. 


Eighty-eight percent of Americans are metabolically unhealthy. We
discuss in this episode how it is vital for the health of our
nation’s citizens that doctors, medical professionals, and
professionals from other fields work together to address this
problem together.
