Always Lifting

Dr. Philip Ovadia has performed over 3,000 heart surgeries — and he’s spent the last decade trying to make fewer of them necessary. In this episode of Always Lifting, Dr. Ovadia shares how he went from a morbidly obese, pre-diabetic heart surgeon realizing he was headed for his own operating table, to losing 100 pounds, reversing his pre-diabetes, and building a second career around metabolic health. He explains why heart disease has been America’s #1 killer for a century without ever getting a crisis-level response, why 93% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy, and why he believes red meat may be the most misunderstood tool for prevention we have.
