In this powerful episode, Loral talks with Dr. Phil Ovadia about heart disease prevention and the myths that keep so many people stuck in poor health. From his years as a heart surgeon to his own 100-pound weight loss, Dr. Phil explains why traditional advice about cholesterol, low-fat diets, and statins often misses the bigger picture.
They unpack the real drivers behind heart disease prevention, including metabolic health, insulin resistance, and why so many patients end up on the operating table when better nutrition and lifestyle support could have changed the outcome.
If you want a more empowering, life-changing conversation about heart disease prevention, food, health advocacy, and taking ownership of your future, this episode is a must-listen.

Meet Dr Philip Ovadia
Dr. Philip Ovadia is a board-certified Cardiac Surgeon and founder of Ovadia Heart Health. His mission is to optimize the public’s metabolic health and help people stay off his operating table. As a heart surgeon who used to be morbidly obese, Dr. Ovadia has seen firsthand the failures of mainstream diets and medicine. He realized that what helped him lose over 100 pounds was the same solution that could have prevented most of the thousands of open heart surgeries he has performed—metabolic health.
In Stay off My Operating Table: A Heart Surgeon’s Metabolic Health Guide to Lose Weight, Prevent Disease, and Feel Your Best Every Day, Dr. Ovadia shares the complete metabolic health system to prevent disease.
Dr. Ovadia grew up in New York and graduated from the accelerated Pre-Med/Med program at the Pennsylvania State University and Jefferson Medical College. This was followed by a residency in General Surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry at New Jersey and a Fellowship in Cardiothoracic Surgery at Tufts – New England Medical School.
