Stay Off My Operating Table

By: Dr. Philip Ovadia
  • Summary

  • I was a morbidly obese heart surgeon.

    Throughout high school, college, med school and surgical training, I followed the U.S. dietary guidelines for both diet and exercise.

    Yet nothing I did kept the weight off. I just kept getting bigger and bigger.

    Each day in the operating theater I would split open the chests of people just like me. I knew I was heading for the operating table myself if I didn't find solutions that worked.

    In 2016, I finally found a way to lose 100 pounds and keep it off.

    Now - in addition to doing heart surgery - I work to help people just like me get healthy, lose the weight and keep it off.

    I'm Dr. Philip Ovadia, the rebel M.D. and cardiac surgeon who is working to keep people off my operating table.

  • Evan Cohen: Are US Dietary Guidelines to Blame for the Obesity Crisis? 162
    Sep 24 2024

    Tired of conflicting nutrition information? Join Dr. Philip Ovadia and guest Evan Cohen as they discuss groundbreaking research that challenges everything we thought we knew about nutrition advice.

    This video provides clear, evidence-based insights that could transform your health. Listen for the revelation at 31:15 that exposes why popular diet advice might be making you sick.

    GUEST BIO:
    Evan Cohen is a Principal and the Chairman of The Brattle Group, a 600-person international economic consulting firm. He is a litigation consultant with expertise in tax, valuation, and damages, who has provided expert testimony in various federal and state courts on issues relating to finance and economics. He has also led a nutrition research group at Brattle since 2011, where he has co-authored several peer-reviewed articles on nutritional epidemiology, and regulatory and nutritional economics, including sin taxes, such as those on soda, and nutrition and poverty. Most recently, he has published an article using data from the Nurses' Health Study, one of the largest and most influential longitudinal epidemiological data sets, examining the association between compliance with U.S. Government nutrition advice since the 1970s and obesity in The Journal of Nutrition (see link below).

Great introduction into becoming healthy

I thoroughly enjoyed this book as Dr. Ovadia tackles the plus and minus of the major diets available to help people make their best decision. The opening of the book was very powerful. He lays out how to take control of your health to live a better life. Highly recommend this for the family.

Content great, Performance horrible 'youknow'

I looked forward to listening those podcasts, cause of the content. Content great. Book is clear. But these podcasts, oh my.. Next to proper facts about sugar, obesity and metabolic health, they also didn't teach eloquence in med school. An average of 4 'you knows' (not exaggerating) per sentence made me ditching the podcasts after one and a half episode , and grabbing the book.
