Why Food Matters

  • Dr. Philip Ovadia is a cardiologist and heart surgeon.
  • Heart disease is still the number one killer in the United States. (6:30)
  • Dr. Ovadia’s first book is a best seller you can find in Vinnie’s book club: Stay Off My Operating Table https://amzn.to/3SelRrs
  • Even athletes in what appears to be extraordinary good health can still suffer from heart disease and cardiac arrest. (14:00)
    • Heavy carb cycling or loading could be contributing to it. (16:00)
  • How important is monitoring LDL only? (25:00)
    • Small, dense LDL particles are important to monitor.

  • Dr. Ovadia explains how Repatha works. (30:00)
    • He also explains some complications during its trials.
  • A challenge of the Western medical system is that specialties have become too compartmentalized. (35:30)
