Acerca de esta escucha

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 Surprising Truth About Headaches: A Doctor's Unexpected Approach - Scott Vrzal
    Jul 15 2025

    Dr. Scott Vrzal shares groundbreaking insights on how headaches serve as crucial warning signals from your body, revealing deeper health issues you might not know about. After suffering from debilitating headaches himself, Dr. Vrzal's journey led him to discover that most headaches aren't actually problems with your head at all – they're referred pain from other organs and systems in your body.

    In this compelling conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia, Dr. Vrzal explains how the location of your headache can pinpoint specific organ dysfunctions: right-sided headaches often indicate gallbladder issues, left-sided headaches suggest stomach problems, and tension headaches frequently point to thyroid dysfunction. This knowledge isn't just theoretical – Dr. Vrzal has used these connections to help patients who haven't found relief through conventional approaches.

    Beyond headaches, Dr. Vrzal discusses how muscle testing, nutrition, and addressing emotional components play critical roles in achieving lasting wellness. His approach challenges conventional thinking by focusing on root causes rather than symptom management, offering viewers practical tools to interpret their own body's signals before they become serious health concerns.

    Learn why Dr. Vrzal calls this "The Headache Advantage" and how understanding these connections could transform your approach to health, prevent unwanted symptoms, and possibly keep you off the operating table.


    BIG IDEA

    Most headaches are not problems with your head at all but are referred pain from other organs and systems in your body, serving as critical warning signals that something needs attention.

  • Medical Textbooks Get It Wrong: How Ketosis-Transforming Kidney Disease Treatment - Thomas Weims PHD
    Jul 8 2025

    Dr. Thomas Weims, Professor at UC Santa Barbara, shares his revolutionary findings on treating polycystic kidney disease through ketogenic interventions. After 25 years of research, his lab accidentally discovered that ketosis dramatically halts and even reverses PKD progression—something previously thought impossible. The medical establishment had long maintained that PKD, a genetic disease affecting 600,000 Americans, was untreatable through dietary means. Yet Weims' research demonstrates that beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the primary ketone produced during ketosis, shows more potent effects than any pharmacological intervention his team tested. In a groundbreaking clinical trial, patients on a ketogenic diet experienced improved kidney function and reduced kidney volume in just three months—the first time such reversal has ever been documented in PKD. Weims explains the science behind this therapeutic approach, how it challenges entrenched medical dogma, and why this metabolic therapy may benefit all forms of chronic kidney disease. This conversation exposes how decades of medical education about diet and kidney health have been based on hypothetical papers rather than clinical evidence, offering hope to millions suffering from progressive kidney conditions.


    BIG IDEA

    "What we found more recently is that the progression of polycystic kidney disease is not really driven by gene mutations as previously thought—a patient inherits a bad gene, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will have rapidly progressing PKD."

  • The Muscle-Brain Connection: How High-Intensity Training Transforms Your Metabolism in Just 15 Minutes - Ben Bocchicchio
    Jul 1 2025

    Dr. Ben Bocchcchio, a pioneer of slow resistance training since 1974, shares his revolutionary approach that delivers remarkable results in just 15 minutes, twice weekly. With over 50 years in exercise physiology, Dr. Bocchcchio explains how his method stimulates muscle fibers in ways conventional workouts can't match, leading to enhanced fat oxidation, increased insulin sensitivity, and improved metabolic health. Host Jack Heald, who experienced the program firsthand, describes the surprising intensity of these brief workouts and the visible body changes he's already witnessing. Dr. Bocchcchio challenges common fitness myths, explaining why most people misunderstand high-intensity exercise and how muscle tissue serves as an endocrine signaling system essential for longevity, brain health, and metabolic wellness. Learn how this scientifically-validated approach provides what Dr. Bocchcchio calls "80% of the most glorious anti-aging program" through carefully structured resistance training that produces maximal physiological benefits with minimal time investment.


    BIG IDEA

    The muscle system can demand that support systems work at their highest capacity and can increase their capacity and resilience with regard to health and resisting pathogens and viruses.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book as Dr. Ovadia tackles the plus and minus of the major diets available to help people make their best decision. The opening of the book was very powerful. He lays out how to take control of your health to live a better life. Highly recommend this for the family.

Great introduction into becoming healthy

I looked forward to listening those podcasts, cause of the content. Content great. Book is clear. But these podcasts, oh my.. Next to proper facts about sugar, obesity and metabolic health, they also didn't teach eloquence in med school. An average of 4 'you knows' (not exaggerating) per sentence made me ditching the podcasts after one and a half episode , and grabbing the book.

Content great, Performance horrible 'youknow'
