The Truth About LDL Cholesterol and Heart Disease : Dr Ovadia

Dr. Philip Ovadia, a heart surgeon, discusses his personal journey from being an unhealthy surgeon to advocating for low-carb and carnivore diets. He emphasizes the importance of coronary artery calcium scans in assessing heart health, critiques the traditional reliance on LDL cholesterol as a primary risk factor for heart disease, and explores the implications of dietary choices, particularly the role of seed oils and inflammation in heart disease. Dr. Ovadia also addresses various heart conditions, including atrial fibrillation, and offers insights into effective dietary strategies for improving heart health.

Didn't know LP-a wasn't impacted positively by statins, that's kind of hilarious.

Always a joy listening to Dr Ovadia, whose book I have read and recommend. Thanks guys!

Been carnivore now for over a year, last month i took a heart attack ending up with 2 stents and 6 different meds.It was a shock to me at the time but my family history probably had alot to do with it aswell. Doctors said i was pre diabetic at the hospital so before carnivore was i diabetic. Checked my finger prick score and it was 6.2 so still some work to do .Male 57years uk

I’ve been Keto since, I was 60 and carnivore since 2019 when Covid started. Lol I’m 72 now I’ve out lived both my brothers . So everyone of my family are gone.

My father died at 46! He had metabolic syndrome, his father got type 2 diabetes being Christian scientist, he wouldn’t take his insulin and ended up cutting his foot and dying of a systemic infection. Because of his high blood sugar! I was 10 when my father died in fact I was with him and at a ice-skating rink in Florida and he dropped dead right there. He felt very tired that night and didn’t want to go, but my mother was an alcoholic and she was drunk so he thought let me take the kids and go skating first night was open.. That was 1963 so basically there wasn’t anything a doctor could do for him except give him Medicine for the Angina!

QQ: what inflammation in particular are we looking at

Part of the problem, IMO, is that the meals most ppl eat are highly mixed macronutrients: lots of fat with lots of carbs - therefore, saturated fats may not be utilized in the same way as they are when eaten alone or on a low carb diet- in that setting the body uses the fat for fuel immediately... do you agree?
