A Heart Surgeon's Metabolic Health Guide to Lose Weight, Prevent Disease, and Feel Your Best Every Day
For the past century, diet ads and advice have flooded our lives, yet heart disease remains the leading global killer, with 88% of adults metabolically unhealthy. Up to 95% of dieters regain lost weight, often due to short-term goals and restrictive plans that prioritize quick fixes over lasting health. The healthcare system typically focuses on managing symptoms with drugs and surgery rather than teaching proper nutrition for disease prevention. Dr. Philip Ovadia, a heart surgeon and former morbidly obese individual, has witnessed the failures of mainstream diets and medicine. He discovered that achieving metabolic health was key to his 100-pound weight loss and could have prevented many heart surgeries he performed. In this book, Dr. Ovadia presents a comprehensive metabolic health system designed to optimize health and prevent disease, countering the interests of the diet and pharmaceutical industries. His approach is sustainable and long-term, unlike quick-fix diets. Readers will learn about the connection between metabolic health and leading causes of death, how to measure and improve their health, and the benefits of a nutritionally complete diet without reliance on supplements. Whether aiming to reverse chronic diseases or prevent them, this guide empowers individuals to reclaim their health from failing institutions and experts.
