Brace yourself for an enlightening conversation with distinguished heart surgeon, Dr. Philip Ovadia, a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a trailblazer in metabolic health. He's on a mission to prevent heart disease and keep people out of his operating room. Dr. Ovadia doesn't just talk the talk, he's walked the walk, shedding an impressive 100 pounds and maintaining a healthier lifestyle. We're going to challenge conventional wisdom and explore the flawed approach towards heart disease, underscoring the importance of critically evaluating medical information.We're going to bust myths and challenge prevailing theories surrounding heart disease and diet. Red meat and fat have been the usual suspects for years, but we're going to dig deeper. Are they really the culprits? Or should we be looking at insulin resistance and inflammation in our blood vessels? We're going to turn the diet-heart hypothesis on its head and open your eyes to the real roots of heart disease. We'll also delve into the often overlooked impact of stress on heart health and discuss practical ways to manage and mitigate it. Dr. Ovadia shares his own experiences with stress-induced unhealthy habits, and the strategies he used to overcome them. From there, we'll discuss the four pillars of heart disease prevention - diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. You'll walk away with a better understanding of key health measures, why 88% of adults in the U.S. are not hitting the mark, and what you can do to optimize your health. Round up the episode with insights from functional medicine practitioner, Dr. Paul Saladino, who's forging a path towards a more natural approach to healthcare.
