Dr. Philip Ovadia is a board-certified cardiac surgeon and founder of Ovadia Heart Health. As a heart surgeon who was once morbidly obese himself, Dr. Ovadia has seen firsthand the failures of mainstream diets and medicine. He realized that what helped him lose over 100 pounds—focusing on his metabolic health—was the same solution that could have prevented most of the thousands of open-heart surgeries he has performed.
