The #1 Killer Isn’t Meat | Dr. Philip Ovadia #496 | The Way I Heard It

If a heart surgeon told you meat is medicine, sugar is poison, and we've spent the last 70 years fighting heart disease the wrong way…would you hear him out?

That's the question I wrestled with after sitting down with Dr. Philip Ovadia—a guy who's performed more than 3,000 heart surgeries, lost 100 pounds himself, and now spends most of his time trying to keep people OFF his operating table.

This conversation challenged a lot of things I thought I knew. We get into why heart disease remains America's #1 killer, why Dr. Ovadia believes cholesterol has been unfairly cast as the wrong villain, why he thinks breakfast's "most important meal of the day" reputation was cooked up by marketers, and why a $100 scan might tell you more about your heart than the numbers you've been obsessing over for years.

Maybe he's right. Maybe he's wrong. Either way, if you're like me, you'll probably look at your next meal a little differently after this conversation.

If you've got an open mind—and a healthy appetite—pull up a chair.

And if have a different take, let’s hear it. The comments are open for a reason.
