DR. PHILIP OVADIA

  • Philip is based out of Florida, but also travels to Memphis often for work.
  • He is a cardiothoracic surgeon.
  • The two most common surgeries he performs are bypass surgeries and surgeries dealing with lung cancer.
    • When it comes to the heart, he’s a plumber.
  • As a heart surgery, he tries to help his patients understand cholesterol.
    • Just because cholesterol is there when there’s a heart problem, doesn’t mean *it* is causing the problem.
  • He doesn’t deal a lot with COVID patients because they don’t usually need surgery.
    • Two things should be eye-opening:
      • 1) Metabolic health seems to be fairly determinative of how you may do if you contract the disease.
      • 2) Doctors seem to have lost control of medicine.

DOCTOR LIFESTYLE CHANGES

  • Dr. Philip is a healthy guy, a healthy weight.
    • However, until four or five years ago, he struggled with obesity.
      • This plagued him since he was a kid.
  • He didn’t understand why he kept getting heavier – he only drank diet soda and ate a low fat diet.
    • During residency, he only got heavier.
      • He got to 270 lbs at 5’7″.
        • He would be winded walking up the stairs to see a patient and he realized he couldn’t continue like this.
  • The “eat less, move more” mantra he was taught in med school wasn’t sustainable.
    • Caloric deficit lost him some weight, but he picked it back up.

GETTING STARTED AND DIETARY CHANGES

  • He started by doing gluten free for his wife and started to feel way better.
    • He wasn’t so tired any more.
  • Several months later, he heard Gary Taubes speak and from there, he got into low carb high fat.
    • Now, he’s a carnivore guy.
  • He’s lost 100 lbs and kept it off.
  • Philip feels better than he did in his 20s now!
  • It can be tough to change your mind, especially as a doctor, after you’ve been so indoctrinated.
    • However, he simply saw what he was taught did not work.
  • People don’t even know what it means to be healthy anymore.
    • Doctors need to get people back on track with respect to people not accepting health issues as being normal.
