Dr. Philip Ovadia is a cardiac surgeon on a mission to change how we think about heart disease. After performing thousands of surgeries, he realized that most of his patients didn’t need to end up on his operating table in the first place. In this episode, Dr. Ovadia joins host Victoria Field to uncover the metabolic factors driving heart disease and explore how we can prevent it before it requires surgery.
They dive into key topics like the role of insulin resistance versus cholesterol, why he says inflammation should be a bigger focus than LDL, the importance of advanced testing like Coronary Artery Calcium Score scans, and why lifestyle changes are the true foundation of prevention. Dr. Ovadia also shares his personal journey from obesity to metabolic health and how it reshaped his entire approach to medicine.
Whether you're a patient, physician, or anyone passionate about heart health, this episode will give you the tools you need to avoid the operating table.
