Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Philip Ovadia is a heart surgeon and the founder of Ovadia Heart Health whose stated purpose is, “helping our patients make changes through dietary and lifestyle interventions based on the most up-to-date scientific knowledge.” His passion is teaching patients how to stay off of his operating table by fixing their metabolic health. In their discussion, Brian, Tro, and Philip talk about strategies for confronting the health epidemic in the United States, the centrality of metabolic health when it comes to avoiding disease, why obesity is not the only indicator of poor metabolic health, triglycerides as a marker for metabolic health, and learning to look at your health as a system rather than a short term goal.
