Fix Your Metabolism, Save Your Heart: Dr. Philip Ovadia on Preventing Disease the Natural Way
Listen on your favorite platform:

Dr. Philip Ovadia has spent decades holding a scalpel, but he’d rather you never need one. A top heart surgeon turned metabolic health rebel, Dr. Ovadia is exposing everything broken in modern medicine. After battling obesity himself and dropping 100 pounds, he realized the hard truth: heart disease isn’t bad luck—it’s bad advice. The real fix? It’s not another pill or procedure—it’s going back to what actually worked for generations. Real food. Real movement. No nonsense. No gimmicks. Just the ancestral wisdom that kept our great-grandparents thriving before processed junk and pharmaceuticals took over.

For centuries, humans didn’t just survive—we thrived. No calorie counting, no food pyramids, no prescriptions—just whole foods, an active life, and deep connection with nature. Now? We’re drowning in bad science, ultra-processed foods, and doctors who push pills over real solutions. Dr. Ovadia knows the real enemy isn’t cholesterol—it’s insulin resistance, a modern disease caused by modern habits. If you’re tired of being lied to about what real health looks like, this episode is your wake-up call to take back control—ancestral style.

Actionable Advice

  • Fix Your Metabolism First – Dr. Ovadia explains why metabolic health—not cholesterol levels—is the real key to preventing heart disease.

  • Ditch Processed Foods – Learn how sugar, seed oils, and ultra-processed foods fuel chronic disease and inflammation.

  • Focus on Protein – Eating more high-quality animal protein helps control hunger, build muscle, and stabilize blood sugar.

  • Measure the Right Health Markers – Forget the outdated focus on LDL cholesterol—track your waist circumference, blood sugar, triglycerides, HDL, and blood pressure instead.

  • Question the Standard Medical Advice – Most doctors don’t talk about insulin resistance, but it’s the key to reversing chronic disease—Dr. Ovadia explains why.

Dr. Ovadia didn’t always have the answers. Like many doctors, he was trained to follow outdated medical guidelines that treat symptoms rather than root causes. But after confronting his own obesity and realizing that traditional heart disease treatments weren’t solving the problem, he began questioning everything he was taught. Now, he’s helping others break free from the cycle of bad advice, poor health, and preventable surgeries by focusing on metabolic health, inflammation, and lifestyle-first solutions.
