Jami Dulaney MD Wellness Podcast: Is Insulin Resistance the Real Cause of Heart Disease? | With Dr. Philip Ovadia

Welcome!

And thank you for listening.

In this episode, I sit down with cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia to challenge some of the conventional thinking around heart disease, cholesterol, nutrition, and metabolic health. After becoming morbidly obese and pre-diabetic himself despite being a heart surgeon, Dr. Ovadia began questioning the advice he had been giving patients and ultimately transformed his own health through a low-carbohydrate, ketogenic approach. We discuss why insulin resistance may be a much bigger factor in heart disease than cholesterol alone, the role of inflammation and metabolic health, and why Dr. Ovadia has completely changed his views on dietary fat, meat, and plant-based diets.

Thanks as always for listening.
