Stay Off My Operating Table
I was a morbidly obese heart surgeon.
All through 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 fatter and fatter.
Each day in surgery, 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.

Fix Your Gut, Save Your Heart: New Science on Heart Disease Prevention - Dr. William Davis #175
The health of your gut microbiome, particularly the presence of beneficial bacteria and absence of harmful bacteria in the small intestine, plays a crucial role in heart disease prevention and treatment.
KISMET
Recent research shows that when beneficial gut bacteria produce oxytocin, it not only improves heart health but also helps reduce social isolation and increases empathy - suggesting that gut health could play a role in addressing societal division and mental health issues.
EPISODE SUMMARY
Dr. William Davis, a former cardiologist, explains how traditional heart disease treatments focusing on cholesterol and statin drugs have failed to reduce cardiovascular events significantly. He presents compelling evidence that gut health, particularly the presence of harmful bacteria in the small intestine (SIBO), contributes to heart disease through a process called endotoxemia. The solution involves restoring beneficial bacteria, especially Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus gasseri, through fermented foods and supplements. These bacteria help prevent harmful bacteria from moving into the small intestine while producing beneficial compounds that support heart health. Additionally, Dr. Davis emphasizes the importance of key nutrients often missing in modern diets: vitamin D, magnesium, iodine, and omega-3 fatty acids. He shares how recent clinical trials demonstrate that high-dose omega-3 supplementation can actually reverse coronary plaque buildup. The interview challenges conventional medical wisdom and offers practical, natural solutions for preventing and reversing heart disease.
