Episode 1961 – On this Friday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Dr. Philip Ovadia talk finding accurate information, unhealthy processed foods, improving metabolic health, COVID-19 and more.
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 surgeon, 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.
FINDING ACCURATE INFORMATION
- To some extent, the information you receive is being controlled.
- With health, the proprietors of the food control the flow of information.
- Grain companies fund studies, others would have to admit being wrong, and more.
- Think of all the lies we hear about health every day!
- And, think of the environmentalists view of meat and how simply wrong that is.
- Vinnie’s doc will try to tackle some of this misinformation-spreading and gatekeeping.
- “Experts” are pushing us away from the most important thing in our history with respect to our advancement: meat.
- Dr. Ovadia tries to get and teach people how to keep themselves healthy.
- There has never been evidence that processed foods are good for you, but all of these meat substitutes are just that.
- There’s a way to be a healthy vegan. But you have to be intentional.
IMPROVING METABOLIC HEALTH
- Dr. Ovadia focuses on the metabolic health of his patients.
- We can learn so much from this.
- Over 80% of adults could not meet in-range levels of some measures of this health.
- There are several good measures of our metabolic health:
- Blood pressure.
- If you’re on medication, you’ve already failed.
- Blood glucose.
- Cholesterol LDL levels.
- Waist circumference.
- Triglycerides.
- He talks through these markers.
- Blood pressure.
- Consider asking your doctor about how you match up here, or check out the ranges online.
- We can improve our metabolic health through our nutrition.
