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.

The Hidden Connection Between Your Gut Bacteria and Heart Attacks - Dr. William Davis
Former interventional cardiologist Dr. William Davis left traditional cardiology after his mother died months after a successful angioplasty. What he discovered challenges everything mainstream medicine teaches about heart disease.
Standard cholesterol testing is outdated. The real drivers of cardiovascular disease are small LDL particles created by wheat, grains, and sugars, amplified by gut microbiome disruption. Coronary calcium scores predict heart attacks far better than cholesterol levels, yet conventional treatments like statins show zero impact on plaque progression.
Dr. Davis reveals how antibiotic overuse has left half the US population with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, driving not just digestive issues but heart disease, obesity, autoimmune conditions, and neurological decline. Eliminating wheat and grains while restoring beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus reuteri can make dangerous particles disappear.
He also exposes the dangers of conventional weight loss: calorie restriction causes 25% muscle loss, permanently slowing metabolism and leading to early death despite temporary improvements. His new book Superbody offers an alternative focused on muscle preservation and microbiome restoration.
This conversation fundamentally reframes how diet, gut health, and heart disease connect.
