Stay Off My Operating Table

67
Medicine #43

I was a morbidly obese heart surgeon.

Throughout 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 bigger and bigger.

Each day in the operating theater 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.

    Not all correct
    This podcast presents biased and incomplete info. There are better podcasts available.

    Content gets 5 stars, Jack the host gets zero
    After listening to many episodes I’ve come to the conclusion that the guests and content is very educational and interesting but they keep getting interrupted and derailed from the comments of the host Jack. He continuously interrupts and asks, I’m sorry but the dumbest questions. I think this podcast could step it up a notch and get a more educated host to speak with the guests then it would be 5 stars.

    The Content is excellent
    The information from the doctor and his guests is really informative and excellent. I wish we could hear less from Jack the moderator.

    Must listen!
    This is excellent. The team interviews interesting people each week. I’ve ended up following most of the guests on their social media. I’ve changed my lifestyle quite a bit with the information provided.

    Please get a new podcast host!
    The host of the show (Jack) needs to be replaced by a more educated and less annoying person. His constant interruptions and dumb comments greatly detract from the potential educational value of the podcast.

    Real talk from a Heart Surgeon.
    Dr. Ovadia delivers on his knowledge of metabolic health. He breaks it down for the lay person in easy to understand ways. His co-host Jack Heald, embraces this role with poignant questions and enthusiasm. This is a must listen for anyone interested in improving their health.

    Not Your Average Doctor
    Short episodes packed with valuable information you can immediately act on. Many podcasts are interesting, but this one provides an action plan to become healthier and happier in the long run. Lose weight, gain muscle, and stay off the operating table.
