I bought this heart surgeons book. It’s excellent. This is the best interview I’ve ever seen on heart disease. My cardiologist just gets irritated when I ask him anything about diet. He just peddles pills. Well I’m doing a carnivore diet and it’s cleared up my diverticulosis. Skin tags disappearing. Sinus and allergy issues. Snoring. Sleep apnea. High Blood pressure. Psoriasis. Eye floaters. IBS. All gone Within the first month. Insulin resistance and pre diabetes will all be gone soon. Ive lost weight. Im Hoping to be off my BP meds soon.
I would like to know exactly what your eating, please. I need encouragement to keep going with carnivore. I do know that after two months of carnivore I quit having diarrhea. So I had a gut problem. Since after having COVID and fatigue the whole month of January and working I gradually slid off carnivore. I'm getting back on. I have only retained a 10 pound weight loss. Weight wasn't my prime concern but I do have 25 more lbs. to lose. I've already increased my walking so that should help. I'm 71 yrs. Thx!
I gave Dr Caldwell estletyn who does vegatarian which is good but this is totally opposite and the vax made me have clots after micro how can this be it's totally opposite I'm so worried to do this and now breast cancer ,,,,? I think I have metabolic disease and isulin resistance so now what do I do ,,,
. I suggest you read Dr. Annette Bosworths book 'Anyway you can'. She's an internist who discovered how the keto & zero carb diets helps with cancer. She also has courses available & a youtube channel.
@@lynlawley8903also you need to cut sugar out of your diet… period! Sugar feeds cancer. Guess what carbs turn into when you eat them… sugar… period! Look at the carnivore diet. Also don’t eat any processed food. That will for sure help with your insulin resistance. You must be dedicated.
My grandmother lived to over 100 years old, and she cooked everything in bacon fat and beef tallow. She grew all her own fruit and veggies . All her animal foods were bought local from neighboring farms. Even at 100, she was on no meds and never had any vaccines. She fell off a ladder and broke her hip, so she had to go to the hospital, where she ended up getting pneumonia, and they let her fall out of her bed. She probably would still be here today had she not had to be in the hospital . I also had a great uncle who lived to 115, and he ate pretty much the same way, lots of homegrown food and everything cooked in animal fats. They're from Tennessee, so good ole southern food. I'll take eating good over statins any day, because on the opposite side my dads side of the family they had horrible diets lots of processed foods lots diabetes and the ones who were on statins died from heart disease. We need to bring back eating nose to tail in the US and stop the criminalization of raw milk. Stop pushing kale and pesticide laden gmo soy and corn products and start pushing liver, fish roe ,raw milk, and raw milk food products because those are the true superfoods. When your body gets real nutrition, fat soluble nutrients you will find you don't need to eat as much and you are not constantly hungry. The food pyramid needs to be completely redone, but they will never do that because, unfortunately, our government, the healthcare system, and big pharma want us fat and sick ,so we are lifelong customers. Let's get back to fixing people's health issues and not just pushing drugs .
Hi Kellyer1970 , I agree 100%. I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. I can truly feel your pain. I'm guessing that they gave her a serious infection after restraining her to a bed? My precious Mom fell and cut her head. It was not an emergency. I was not told about it until my brother's decisions cost her dearly. The hospital killed her a month ago. I'm against hospitalization and the big pharma controlled pill pushers who claim to be health experts. Most MDs have not taken one semester of introductory nutrition and are the biggest cause of death in America. I can tell from your comment and channel that you are better qualified than they are about general health and recovery.
We live in different times than our grandparents with a lot of different issues / factors that can’t be boiled down to merely diet. We live longer than at any other time in known history yet we are as a group supposedly unhealthy according to some survey or study. We are all going to die of something eventually, thank goodness.
Yes your correct as I worked in a hospital and the cancer ward would have people on mobile drip stands but would be outside smoking, some people look for the magic pill and don't help themselves or listen to some facts and how cancers develop as every day is a day in school.
@@Evo836 Very true. It doesn't help that industry controls government and profit is their motive so our food supply is compromised and natural health options are deliberately thwarted.
I started whole food plant based about 10 years ago along with B12 and D3 K2 supplements. I dropped 120 pounds painlessly and standard metabolic panel tests improved dramatically. I hear the same from people on carnivore. Becoming increasingly convinced that processed food is at the core of most health issues.
That is great, but I do plant based organic mainly & I have a very high calcium score. 1,000 to B exact! I also take B12,Vit D sometimes since mine is high 66 & I take many other supplements as I can afford to. Could not do the carnivore diet because of how animals R raised & the fact that U gotta kill them to eat them. Bothers me still. Also meat is ever so expensive. Way out of my budget! So those R 2 reasons I eat as I do, but I have 70 to 75 % carotid blocked artery & 50% on the other 1. So I am guessing it must B something else making my calcium so high. I take various mags. also. Could B having eaten cheese as 1 protein source. Not sure, but I am facing a serious blockage now. I do not know of any real way to get rid of plaque except a surgery. Very scary to say the least!
High carb or low carb? Seed oils, sugar, processed foods? I suspect your diet has been on the high side in the above. Meat doesnt make a difference its removing the above.
@@hemisphere903 Were U speaking to me? If so I DO NOT eat lots of processed foods. I eat mostly organic fresh food, but I do love my cheese & that is probably what has caused my plaque in my carotid artery. I'm trying to cut back on cheese. I eat almost no bread, no potatoes, little noodles & rice, cutting out some cream & no pretzels & alsmst no sweets except organic strawberries, & blue berries.. It is so difficult to find stuff to eat. I have not been eating dead animals, but am thinking I may have to eat the least expensive dead animal meats so I can get protein outside nuts & cheese!! I eat as much organic I can find. I try NOT to eat anything NOT organic too.. But I think eating all the saturated fat has created my high calcium score & the plaque in my neck artery. I will Be checking for blockage in my leg veins as well. I am getting some fluid in my ankles these days.............................
Happy for you. However my experience (and my wife) was that traditional food pyramid diet and vegetarian diet as problems worsened, it did not help. Went Keto and a huge improvement. Toyed with carnivore (which to us seemed stupid) but surprisingly found it was fine - think it as excellent elimination diet. But decided to use Keto. I have no problem eating meat, every living thing on this planet serves as food for others. Living in the country I know nature does not give a stuff about how things die.
in summary: fixing your chronic inflammation (food, better earlier sleep, reduce stress) will greatly reduce many deadly consequences (diabetes, heart diseases, brain problems,...). Appreciate the great interview, more of those, please!
I use Curcumin ( active ingredient of Turmeric) which I take for Ulcerative Colitus but effectively helps reduce inlflammation throughout the body, and it's natural.
Excellent video. Great to hear a Dr speaking about solving the root cause rather than just prescribing a pill or doing surgery to treat the symptoms. He says he was self taught. They don’t teach how to stay metabolically healthy in medical school (intentionally).
Fantastic content, one of your best podcasts ever IMHO. It’s such a shame that high-quality content like this has to be looked for on UA-cam and other platforms rather than being disseminated at every doctors office in the country, and featured on news shows, etc.
Had masdive heart attack at 44. Refused quad bypass and changed my diet to strict non processed foods. This was in 2007 and I'm still here. Stopped my statin about 10 years ago also. My cardiologist was extremely upset with me during covid also bc i refused the juice. He actually told me im lucky I didnt die of covid. Sometimes patients can teach doctors new ways to treat disrase instead of going under the knife.
Wow that is amazing!! I am doing research since I am afraid I will have to have carotid surgery due to a 75% blockage & seems there is no way to remove plaque without some kind of surgery. Fearful of doing anything or doing nothing, but change my eating even more. Like eating way less cheese! I eat a high saturated fat diet. No dead animals except fish! But the dairy stuff has lead too this high plaque blockage. Damn!
Based on my statistical research when I worked for the drug companies I refused to take Statins. My doctors kept telling me I would die. They wrote on my medical record that I was insane. I will be 80 in August and enjoy cooking and walking. I take lessons in German over the internet every day and have increased my vocabulary. So life without statins has been good. Medicare insurance requires that I see my doctor once a year or else I would not have gone to see them. That being said professional medical advice has helped me e.g. my brother said he and the other airline pilots he knew as a pilot himself all recovered from insulin resistance after reading Protein Power by Dr. Eades and so did I. Likewise my years of painful cramps ended when I took magnesium recommended by Dr. Ken Berry also on the internet. I am trying to join and subscribe to some of the online doctors but for some strange reason some of the subscriptions are easy to get and others are not. ..... Weren't we all told that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound. of cure. Actually I think it is a ton of cure that our country needs. LOL The only year I got the Flu (including Covid) was the year I let my doctor talk me into getting a vaccine. I guess that is because I am strick about avoiding sugar and flour since reading Dr.. Eades.
@@maggiemirenda7146 I do take vitamin B6..12, C, E, potassium, mag, zinc and D3 daily. I make a drink with ginger root, honey, lemon and cinnamon 4 oz daily. I also eat alot of hot peppers lol

But, knowing our democracy and government will be destroyed makes it hard to be motivated and excited about living I'm heartbroken. 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
I am 77 and when I was 27 made the decision not to eat canned or packaged food but cook from scratch. I eat healthy exercise and get plenty of sleep. I follow Florence Nightingales idea for healthy living because I am a RN with BN and continue to educate myself.
I believe exercise IS helpful, because if you do pumping exercises you are working your blood vessels, veins, capillaries. You increase blood flow throughout your body. Your body will adjust and adapt by improving the pipeline and may even build new to deal with it. However exercise does NOT replace the need for a good diet. It IS helpful and will improve upon a good diet
Iwas told young that I have hardening of the arterys. All I was offered was statins. I tried them but I DIDN'T feel well. I looked into calcium Disodium EDTA treatments but it was not supported, my insurance wouldnt let me try it. I came to the conclusion that I should stop taking Calcium.I learned the kind I used (calcium carbonate) came from ground up seashells. I was having alot of kidney stones and I had bone loss despite using it. I GOBBLED TUMS,which is calcium carbonate. My heart looked like a 5 yr.old, so I studied suppliments. Here's what I tried; I then switched to calcium proprionate , magnesium glycinate, vit D3 (not D2 in milk which is synthetic). I made sure I took vit.A,C,E. I just had my bone scan and the Tech. was shocked, --my bone loss halted at 62 ( this after early surgical menopause no HRT since 2011).
OK thats becau🎉se you did a better calcium , it sounds like I'm going to try you're route I'm doing small fish with bones but we now have micro plastic and they say that also , has problems ,, and sibo and other parasites are a problem its just ? What to do ! Get out n enjoy as much as you can ! Spring is almost here in England,, n SUN,
It has little to do with heart disease and longevity. The damage was still be caused by glucose no matter what you do. There is a lot of information now on the damage caused by exercise cortisol, over exercise. Better to do yoga, pilates, walking, in that case yes it has health benefits for more and brain, but many people have exercised their butts off and ended up with atherosclerosis because of carb addiction, even whole grains, read grain brain
I am 77 yrs old female. My cardiologist declared i had 45 % with no testing. Wanted to put me on statins. I had to demand that my cariologist order a CAC test. It is not covered by insurance. It came back clear. I have eaten a keto-carnivore diet all my life. eating bacon, using bacon grease on veggies.
@@dan-qe1tbno but the THOUSANDS of people on carnivore & Keto who are not only in the best health of their life and cleared up life long illnesses do PROVE IT. Just because the medical field wants to keep playing dumb because the w e f wants you to not eat meat doesn’t mean we have to listen to it. Especially since the proof is out there and they refuse to admit they’re wrong. So you sir are the moron.
I have had high cholesterol since my 40’s. I refused statins. I am 80. Still high cholesterol and still healthy. No heart disease. I quit sugar in my 30’s and possibly may have protected me. Sugar irradiates the lining of blood vessels. I think that causes heart disease. Anyone else think this way? Mostly meat. Some greens.
Great discussion. We in other specialties do not have the time available to seek out and find such broad comprehensive opinions summarizing the latest findings. So very much appreciated.
7/01/22: CAC Score was 450 11/01/23: CAC Score was 253 How I did it? Carnivore diet, 3 capsules of Vitamin D3, and one capsule of Koncentrated K (the original) (bought from Amazon). That’s it. No exercise.
Excess deaths must be up 30% since 2021 because of all those rapid dietary changes we all made that year. Remember everyone? That's definitely the only explanation.
I absolutely love this doctor. Talk about a man that really cares about his patients. I also love the young man and just how smart he is talking about these things very impressed with both of them. Very helpful an understanding heart disease
I just ordered Dr. Ovadia's book. An inspiring doctor. I learned about some tests I will ask to have done at my next doc visit. The notion of avoiding processed food is one I plan to follow religiously. Thank you for a most helpful podcast.
We need more cardiologist's like Dr Ovadia, I just saw my cardiologist and he persistantly tried to get me on a statin, my BP was 120/82, I've been on a OMAD diet for 2 1/2 years lost 35lbs and 4" on my waist , I had a stent placement 5 years ago haven't see my cardioloist for 4 years and took myshelf off BP and statin meds, I need a good Dr to help me manage my medibolic health.
I just want to make you aware of something important. When I had my first massive heart attack, my BP was absolutely normal during that MI. It was 120/80 and bc it was normal the ER nurse refused to give me a nitro even though I was begging for an hour. He got mad at me bc I refused the x-ray and ABG (arterial blood gases)games. I tried to educate a fellow mwd staff only for him to raise his voice at me stating " I'm going to write in your chart your refusing docs orders so there's no room for you to sue us" then huffed out the room while I'm yelling at him to have doc order me CnP plus nitro now! Doc ordered what I asked and couldn't get me transferred by helicopter fast enough. When I arrived at next hospital rolled into surgery, the surgeon looked at me and said " I can't believe your awake talking to me yet". Then he allowed me to watch the stent surgery plus pointed out where my blockage was so I knew. I never should have lived through that MI. Never think just bc BP is normal range that your good to go is my point. I suggest a strict diet change and I still take my blood thinner as I've not yet figured out what holistic med I want to supplement with. As for stating, I stopped them way back in 2011. I pray you stay feeling well and only keep your health moving in right direction 🙏
Caldwell Esselystyn. Cardiologist with Cleveland clinic. Plant based. Did the research on reversing heart disease. Rip esselstyn. Michael Klaper. John McDougall MD. ALL PLANT BASED. WATCH THEIR VIDEOS NOT THIS EXTREMELY FAT DOC. KETO IS TERRIBLE.
@jd4444 ornish is a plant-based doctor, tends to lead to bias. I know what my scans show, and I know how much better I feel on a ketovore nutrition system.
My dad had his first heart attack when he was 41. I was diagnosed with CAD at 37. It's really hard and scary to make good medical decisions knowing that most cardiologists are just going to follow the directives they were told by Pharma.
Hi Brandon what you describe is almost same as my experience. Dad had heart attack at 40 and I had angina at about same age. Been on statins ever since and 3 stents over the years. Now approaching 56 and just taking each day as it comes hopefully a miracle cure one day!
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH OF THIS INFO should be closely examined. … in my opinion of course, from my own research. Dr JACK KRUSE (neurosurgeon) said once that he would NEVER prescribe a statin drug. He said they are a mega billion dollar industry (😎) and they destroy the muscles in your body, starting in the legs .. and … your HEART is a muscle 🤔 (think about that …) WHAT !!! ??? my friend completely cleared his atherosclerosis by taking high doses of a natural organic made from silkworms … NATTOKINASE (you can take up to 20 per day)
@@colpin99- statins? Why, why, why? Making the numbers behave doesn't make you healthy. You're shutting off your bodies repair mechanism. Darko Vlček made a very good point when he said that the lab numbers of "glucoholics" aren't necessarily normal or healthy, and that LDL is not the evil monster made out by the medical system. When you eat carnivore, you need more bile to process the fat. The body produces more LDL to make bile. We also need cholesterol to form vitamin D and other hormones, and to rebuild cell walls. Doctors need to stop prescribing statins as a heart healthy intervention.
I understand what you mean. It's so very scary in the medical industry as docs are taught to do no harm but are steered to make money by following the standard of care protocol for every disease. Insurance companies play a big role too since they don't authorize payment for alternative, natural or holistic care. The "keep them sick so they come back" model is their money maker. Curing someone from the root cause doesn't make money. You're your own best advocate. The hospital emergency room should only be used for emergencies only (heart attack, stroke, unbearable pain, broken bones, etc). I only use conventional docs for testing as a prescription is needed for an ultrasound, etc. I take their advice with a grain of salt, do my own research and use my own discernment. After the last 2-3 years, the medical industry has shown their true colors and I don't trust them at all. Keto, ketovore and carnivore are best for health, especially the heart but it must be full time for life. Sugar and high refined carbs don't mix with good fat and grass fed/wild caught protein. Do your own research. Dr. Berg is a chiropractor but is a wealth of info along with keto and every other ailment you want info on. Dr. Darren Schmidt is located in Michigan and can see patients remotely but have 3 day travel packages for a visit. He's got this uncanny way of connecting the dots on root causes and has been very successful, especially with the heart. He does carnivore and Berg does keto. Check them out, both are on UA-cam! Dr. Pradeep Jamnadas is a medical cardiologist in Florida and supports the non-conventional mindset and more holistic. He's on UA-cam as well and sees patients. Time to fire your conventional docs and use docs that have your health interest in mind.
At the start of our low carb fasting journey, my wife's plaque score was 24. About 2 years later, her score was now 21. Processed carbs tend to have seed oils in them which seem to be a major contributer to all metabolic illnesses. Activating autophagy through extended fasts is what cleans up all of these problems.
@@vcash1112 Here in Texas we have a medical facility called VisScan. They have different types of scans but the one we do involves the circulatory system of the neck and body cavity. Based on the calcium deposits, it will calculate the score. Cancer also shows up in the scan. My score was zero but with our first scan (they were having a 2 of 1 sale) the wife's score was 24. So after about two years of low carb, intermittent fasting (skip breakfast or dinner), some OMAD's and extended fasts, the next time she was scanned, her score was 21. I was not allowed to be scanned again in such a short period because my score was zero. Prior to this, we ate like most people. Too much rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, etc. I'm more active then my wife. She's like most women, lazy about exercise. About once a week I do weight training (HIT) and about once a week I cardio in the form of HIIT training. The main reason for starting low carb/fasting was to reverse my high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and loose weight which it did. I went from 235lb to 170 in about 4 /5 months or so. The type 2 diabetes resolved itself immediately but took longer for my blood pressure to normalize. Does that answer your question?
@@vcash1112 Here in Texas we have a health facility called ViaScan. About 4 years ago, at the start of out low carb/fasting journey, they were having a 2 for 1 sale so me and the wife got scanned. They scan (MRI) for many things but the scan we did was the arterial neck and body cavity scan. Based on the scan, they generate a calcium score. Mine was zero and my wife's was 24. Calcium shows up as white in the images. Cancer also shows up. Since my score was zero, I have to want 5 years to do another scan. My wife could get another one in two years. So in about two years when there was another sale, got her scanned again and her calcium score dropped to 21. The hope is to slow the rate of increase but to reduce the number is pretty amazing. We started low carb/fasting to solve my type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. The type 2 diabetes resolved itself almost immediately. It took longer for the high blood pressure to come down to normal. My going back to the gym I believe also helped to bring down the high blood pressure. I'm no longer on any meds. I do take some supplements for general health and longevity. Does that answer your question?

I couldn't figure out why I all of the sudden quit getting sunburned... going to school for nutrition and completely overhauling my diet it makes sense now
same lmao, Last summer was fishing with my brother. He eats whatever, the moderns slop diet, I eat only naturally. We were fishing for 5 hours on the lake...in the evening he was completely burnt red, I was slightly tanned but without any burns. Shts crazy
come to NZ or Australia on a high UV day - you will be brutalised and this good Dr would be to . I have been in many other courtiers where sun is just fine,. People get surprised in New Zealand when sunburnt in 20 minutes . Really pleasant to have low UV days and get massaged by the sun as opposed to beaten up. Anyway no matter where you are midday summer sun is better avoided , much nicer to get sun earlier or later in day
That happened to me on raw vegetarian food and green juices; no more sunburn son my skin even with hours on the beach ! I couldnt believe it ! Food is everything ! But if you think juste 2 seconds it makes sense. People being used so much to be told what to do they stop thinking by themselves and have lost the good sense and intelligence.
This is probably the most important video and interview on the Internet and UA-cam today! I have no words to express the gratitude I have for true thinkers and medical mavericks like Dr. Ovadia! In fact, I’m desperately seeking him out in consultation for my husband, who just underwent open heart quadruple bypass surgery. All of his doctors, including his internist, cardiologist, cardiac surgeon, and endocrinologist insist that he must remain on statins, blood pressure medications including beta blockers, levothyroxine and baby aspirin for the rest of his life. No other options entertained. No detailed lipid profile ordered. No discussion about diet or nutrition other than the recommended low fat high plant diet offered when specifically asked about it. He is only 60 years old and has always been very active and healthy up until a month before his surgery at the end of January. The scales are falling from our eyes now, though, thanks to the truth being shared by other carnivore champions out there! Doctors need to become educated and practice the Hippocratic oath, not the status quo!
Great video, I just had a CAC score for the first time (age 69) and I had to ask my pcp to refer me for it! It was 60, but I thought it was going to be higher since my previous decades in the 30's, 40's, 50 's of low fat, low calories, and processed food etc. (Now last 3 years, keto, ketovore and carnivore, and IF) CAC 60 score is considered mild heart disease. But radiologist did find a spot on my liver, and lungs and an ascending aorta aneurysm. (the liver spot, and lung spot already nullified from a previous ultrasound in 2021, so aok there) But my pcp still wants me on a statin since my LDL is high (TC 323) BUT low triglycerides (87) and high HDL (91), Again I had to on my own get an NMR cholesterol particle blood panel test, that showed all my LDL is fluffy, and even my HDL is large. My HOMA-IR was
Will not all soft plaque calcify , thus causing the calcium score to still increase even though the soft plaque is not increasing? Is not the calcified plaque considered stable whereas the soft plaque has potential to break off and cause clots? Can one really decrease calcified plaque?
That is my understanding that calcified plaque is stable vs the soft plaque that is more of the problem. I only hope to slow the process down, guess time will tell. @@snuder9832
I am 71, and took Berberine HCL, 1200mg BID, for over a year and it did NOT lower daily BG or A1c. But I suspect it did raise liver enzymes (AST/ALT) significantly, so recently stopped it, now waiting a few months to have labs drawn to confirm my suspicion. I am in the 7th year of major dietary changes; began with KETO, then Ketovoir, now Carnivore 3+ years, and doing IF for 6+ years. I've also had frequent labs at LabCorp, in addition to the standard ones my doc orders semi-annually. I lost 65+ pounds in the first six months of this venture, and keeping it off is easy, I actually had to focus on regaining a few pounds since, at 157, I was beginning to look frail and losing muscular strength. Btw, my A1c ranges 5.1 - 5.4, and my CAC score, a few years ago, was 16 on a 0-600 scale. Six years ago, an ultrasound of carotid arteries revealed moderate blockage, but 2-3 years later it was normal. Thanks for this excellent video!
Just turned 70. Went gluten free vegan 7 years ago and have stayed slim, healthy with lots of energy. I found the key to good health is clean eating, hydration with daily exercise which helps aid me to getting a good night sleep. Happily my labs have been perfect 👌 😍
@@marshcreek4355 I focused on eating even more protein, with meats and eggs, and a bot of diary. It resulted in slow weight gain and, most important strength.
Dr. Philip Ovadia truly the first time I’ve heard a beautiful through view. I feel like I’m listening to my own lectures. A million stars. Best podcast I’ve heard to date. Dr. Ginge
@@Good2AT A few points: Sorry,but the whole world cannot eat meat only, unless we start eating Soylent Green. (If you get my drift, 😄) #2: Obviously humans were not designed to just eat meat. Just examine our teeth. Then examine a dog's teeth, whom nature did design to eat only meat. (Get it???) Thru the last million years, we ate mostly plant material and our genetics reflect that #3: You cannot get the nutrients you need w/o eating plant material. You will pay for this behavior. #4: This s just a fad. YES! It is an improvement over the disastrous diets the masses have. But that doesnt mean it is the best diet for us. ( And yes, the Innuit ,(above the Arctic Circle), traditionally lived off of full carnivore. Still, that does not imply that this is the best one can do) #5: This one you will hate to hear: Carnivore is for lazy people. Weve found that one can lose weight while getting no exercise with this. (I have a good friend who has a sedentary job who has well demod this fact.) AGAIN, while this is good, (compared), it is not the best he can do. No matter what you may eat, a sedentary lifestyle is a disaster for your health. Just one effect is that you are going to have very sluggish mitochondria, and that is a factor in all disease. The most excellent diet is not going to be full carnivore, ( but also it is also obviously not going to be what the average American is doing today)
I just love Dr. Ovadia. He is honest and down to earth so people can understand what he is talking about. Great information! Thank you so much for the video
Would you please ask him why eliminating polyunsaturated fats helps one to stay in the sun longer when those fats are good for our heart? Am I misunderstanding?
Kelly Hogan just interviewed a gal who TOTALLY reversed her CAC score and it wasn’t supposed to be possible at all according to the explanation. Soo cool!!
Finally a doctor that gives us hope, thanks a lot for doing this. I eat every 36 hours, and the diet mostly consists of various sprouts salad , eggs, and cooked vegetables in ghee. Any thoughts on this?
I only have high blood pressure when I go to the doctors office for my yearly primary care visit. She always wants to put me on high blood pressure pills. My cardiologist told me I would pass out because I don’t have high blood pressure. I just have it when I go to the doctors I think they call it whitecoat syndrome so now what I do is take my blood pressure for a month before I go to any doctor so they could see that I don’t have blood pressure problems, that was my cardiologist idea
I’m the same lol. I’m 49, Average 108/68 over the last month, a little low is perfectly normal for me and has been my whole life. Always goes high in the doctors office. I bring my log with me, settles the doc right down - I take my BP morning and evening 2 days per week and average it for the month.
Mine is usually high when I first arrive, so I always have them check it again before I leave, and it's always good. I suggest having them take it last thing ,not first.
I had to chime in at 5:12 timestamp where the doctor is talking about bad information from influencers, many times doctors! Good gravy , I am 68 years old and have had it with what we can’t eat this latest health go. I fed my family all natural foods, for example butter. Then the margarines started…. No eggs…. No seed oils… The food industry is killing us, and who knows what we should eat anymore!
Eat meat, fatty red meat, grass finished if you can. And eggs. And butter or ghee. And fish. Avoid grains, “vegetable” oils, sugar, and processed “foods.” Have you watched any of Dr. Ken Berry’s channel? I’ve been eating 95% carnivore for a year, and I feel much better! My bloodwork is great!
@@susangrande8142 well you also have to consider saturated fats can cause problems with carotid artery blockage another artery blockage. A lot of cheese cause I didn’t animals and saturated fat has caused me to have a block credit arteries. So I didn’t think that that was going to cause a problem for me & it did! But I would probably want to check my credit arteries with an ultrasound and get my calcium scores and check my triglycerides my cholesterol Mail deals and I each deals to see where they are before I go on saturated fat.
@@susangrande8142 well just check out your carotid arteries for plaque from too much saturated fat. I ate too much cheese and I have too much plaque in my carotid artery. So eating fatty meats and butter and things like that can also cause plaque plaque in your arteries. I also eat butter and eggs am I cholesterol was so so the plaque in my carotid artery is 70 to 75 blocked!!
Years ago our grandparents grew their own gardens using compost for fertilizer. Farming soil should be dark brown. All the farms now are light beige. My grandparents lived to be 100 and 106 years old. They did not have cars walked a lot and did more physial labor.
Millions still do that. I do that. There are countless UA-cam channels for hobby home growers, but it's tons of work and you cannot grow every possible fruit and veggie you like to eat due to climate or lack of space. I also don't believe supermarket veggies are worst. They are totally fine and healthy even when fertilizers were used instead of compost.
@@marianneharris-ux9pq there's enough evidence now to link myocarditis and pericarditis to the jabs. There's also a temporal link, since this spike has only happened since roll out and did not occur with the first waves of Cvd, but this is not proof of causation many cry. Dr Peter McCullough has written plenty on associated heart risks.
@@marianneharris-ux9pq there's plenty of data out there for you, if you're willing to look. Have you not even heard of casual links to myocarditis and pericarditis?
Excellent video! I am doing a deep dive into my lipid panel since finding out I have a high number of oxidized LDL and APOB. My other markers of metabolic disease are low. My naturopathic doctor wanted me to lower my saturated fat intake to less than 10% of my total calories. (She is a Peter Attia fan). I have done this as an experiment. I also introduced a higher carb level to under 100 carbs per day. I just took my second blood test and I am waiting for the results. I wasn’t fasted the first time. I plan on having a CAC done as a baseline. I am 57. I also just started BHRT. Needless to say, all of the content of this video was very interesting to me. Thanks again!
This is the best show you’ve had lots of reviews and comments vs your other shows. You need to do more of these like this. Also I hear your originally from Pittsburgh. Would like to have you look at my blood work after 7-8 months of carnivore. My cardiologist is flipping out! Please get back to me. Thanks
What a great, informative interview. Dr. Ovadia is a trusted Cardiologist. All this has put my mind at ease that I’ve chosen the right pathway to health. 👏👏
Thank you. One of the most nuanced and informative discussions on heart health I have seen. I wish everyone here in Australia could see this. It shocks me how much the medical profession, the media and the general public still buy into scientifically disproven and tired old tropes about what contributes to poor heart health. I blame the pharmaceutical and ultra processed food industries for perpetuating the mythology, as they financially benefit. Saddens me that most General Practitioners are not up to date with the latest research and keep pushing statins, instead of promoting sound dietary, exercise and lifestyle practices. Modern medicine is very good at treating acute life threatening outcomes, and distressing symptoms, but very poor at managing the causes of chronic disease.
My CAC after a year of Ketovore (less than 10 carbs/day) dropped 6 points. But my wife, who had a higher initial score than I dropped 60 points over the same period on a keto diet keeping carbs below 20 grams a day.
Carnivore on zero carbs causes ketosis, it is extremely impactful. I cut my remaining 10g of carbs and my stubborn insulin resistance capitulated in just two weeks…😮
@@whowhy9023That’s awesome! My insulin resistance got way worse on keto, and I felt nauseous every time I ate. I went plant-based and my glucose numbers are way down, from full-blown type 2 to pre-diabetic and still dropping in about 3 months. Blood pressure way down, cholesterol dropping, etc. All while eating way more carbs. After doing keto off and on for decades, I’ve discovered it just isn’t right for me. I’m glad it works well for some, though!
There can aIways be atypicaI resuIts in the popuIation, quite often there are factors contributing to atypicaI resuIts that are not factored in. OveraII the Iarge numbers of improvement with keto and carnivore diets demonstrates the benefits. Being open minded and Iearning what benefits the individuaI the most is key to success.
@@tarabooartarmy3654 Exactly, everyone is in a different spot. You could have had a bacteria overgrowth which causes other issues related to these issues, like LYME...
Stronger leg people have a better chance of surviving serious angina,not because it's a potential indicator of overall physical health, but because leg exercises help prevent calcification of the leg arteries - generally speaking, of course.
I’m so glad you both ask the pertinent questions and the Doctor is answering them.🙏🏾 I am that patient who has High LDL and I have the Familial Hypercholesteremia gene. I had the Advanced Cholesterol test (NMR) per my Registered Dietitian. I have small dense and Low dense that are normal. Normal Triglycerides. My A1C is 5.9. Pre-Diabetic. I asked for that test because every thing else is ok. I am walking EVERY DAY since the end of June and it’s August now. I feel great. I will be calling you Doc to understand my Advanced Cholesterol numbers. Thanks so much.
My friend developed a neurological heart rhythm issue. Everything perfect, cardiovascularly. Except, it started right after his second disease preventing miracle, But before the disease he got anyway. C-ya!
@@got2kittys Thanks now it is readable. I think I had 4jabs, working in a nursing home, required. Now nobody who works there is getting jabbed. In spite of the J's, I still got covid 2x, but very mild because of my daily d3. I think the vitD also prevented complications from being jabby.
I did the same after catching covid. I'm sure I had svnrt previously and it always came along with viruses. After covid it was really bad and I ended up in hospital twice. It took 18 month to go altogether. I never had a problem after the vaccine. I just caught the latest variant not covered by the jab.
I did, went from calcim score of 3 to zero in 13 months, i exercised lightly daily, fasted, got enough sleep, took a low dose statin and lost almost 90lbs.
Low carb and low processed food is best. Avoid low fat diets which don’t work to keep your heart safe. High carb and highly processed food s are the two primary drivers of metabolic disease. Metabolic disease and insulin resistance is the primary drivers of heart disease.
Conjectures can be dangerous! The Japanese people with longest life expectancy on earth eat Rice (a carbohydrate), Soybean processed foods (low fat), eat little red meats but add fish and sea weeds.
Theres also a test they did on Firefighters. It required Men to knock off about 42 push ups in one go, and if you cant do that youre in a higher risk of heart disease.
@@kevinkasp I am 64 years old. I can usually do 30 but sometimes 35 on my first set. I do 200 in sets. I set an egg timer for the time in between sets. It gets longer as I get tired. There’s a young medical Doctor that can do over 400 in one set. He’s got the world record.
I saw a woman in a store who had pallor so I started a casual conversation with her asked if she experiences a number of symptoms of ischemia. She reported having seen a cardiologist the day prior saying her stress test revealed she had a heat of a 16yr old. I said, "Don't bet on it. Get hold of nitroglycerine, it will save your life." Forward several months, met the woman again and she says the very next day she collapsed in front of her brother's house, going to borrow some of his nitro. Two hours later she had a quintuple bypass, 5 coronary arteries! So much for a normal EKG and stress test. Even when the patient looks like death warmed up, doctors ignore it, especially for women.
43:00 minutes in, he talks about how eliminating polyunsaturated fats from our diet can make us less susceptible to sun burns. This explains so much! I have fair skin and always burned easier than everyone else. But the last five years since I've been eating healthier, I can go to the beach and take walks in the sun with friends and family (no sunscreen) and many times I'm the only one who doesn't get a burn. I haven't really understood this new phenomenon until now. 🤯😎
The low-fat diet advice did push me to higher carb food, but it did NOT push me toward more processed food, because processed food is usually high in fat. I’m eating no more than 30 grams of fat per day, no more than 5-6 saturated, plant-based. My blood pressure is down from an average of around 170-180/100 to 110/70. My fasting glucose was in the 270s at type 2 diagnosis 2 years ago. 170s on keto. Under 130 now (sometimes under 100). Eating a baked potato before would give be 200+ after 2 hours. Now it’s under 130, and as low as 89. My cholesterol is coming down finally. Low fat plant based worked for me. It may not work for everyone, but for me it’s been a miracle.
@@a6backatdoha I have a CGM. As long as I stick to my very low fat diet, I don’t get huge spikes with much of anything except huge portions or extremely processed foods like white sugar or products made with white flour. Natural foods that are still intact with their fiber almost never cause big spikes for me. I can eat bananas, brown rice, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, whole grain bread, and even white potatoes without the huge spikes, but if I eat a lot of fat one day, sometimes I do get spikes later in the day or the next day.
@@a6backatdoha it doesn’t spike on the fat. It spikes when I eat the carbs later. Fortunately, eating a lot of fat makes me extremely nauseous so I don’t do that often.
@@a6backatdoha yes, and I followed the standard advice of eating a low carb diet, but it made me constantly nauseous. And if I ate my favorite food, a potato, my glucose would spike like crazy and I didn’t want to go without potatoes forever. Then I found people like Dr. McDougall, Dr. Greger, Dr. Neal Barnard and the Mastering Diabetes channel. They explained that insulin resistance (the root cause of type 2 diabetes) is caused by too much fat inside muscle cells which aren’t supposed to have much fat in them. It’s called intramyocellular lipids. (Look that up on Wikipedia.) This blocks insulin from being able to enter cells, so glucose stays in the blood instead of going to muscle cells for energy. That’s why diabetics are tired all the time. Once I switched from low carb to plant based, my fasting glucose went from 250+ to 100-130, and my post-meal (with carbs) went from 200+ to 100-130 as well. I’ve even had post-meal as low as 89 after eating potatoes. I was never able to do anything like that when I was low carb, so I would have had to stay low carb forever and I can’t do that because of how nauseous it makes me when I eat a lot of meat or dairy. My body just can’t tolerate a lot of fat.
@@a6backatdoha I thought I’d mention that it took about 4-6 weeks for my glucose numbers to come down a lot after starting plant based. Once they did, they stayed down. They only creep back up if I add too much fat back to my diet.
@@a6backatdoha I would never use 2 Tbsp of butter on anything. The most I’d use on anything would be a teaspoon or two on a baked potato, but that’s a LOT for me. If I ate 2 tablespoons of any fat at one time, I’d feel so sick. One tablespoon is 3 teaspoons! When I tried carnivore, I once ate a single teaspoon of butter on its own and I felt horrible afterwards.
Amazing and encouraging interview! We need vital information like this to motivate us to make radical dietary and lifestyle changes to help our bodies heal itself. Thanks so much!
I'm confused about what he said about polyunsaturated fatty acid. Reducing them was linked to reducing sun sensitivity? I thought these were healthy fats. Can you clarify?
Great conversation! Dr Ovadia’s style makes it very easy to understand. I learned so much from this and made notes to take to my own cardiologist. Thanks
I love that he admits off the bat that his position is controversial, but brings his own real professional experience to justify his position. It's this kind of reasoned argument that makes me sit up and pay attention vs the endless string of chiropractors and entrepreneurs on the internet claiming to be experts of cellular biology (despite no educational or professional experience) and making claims in the face of all established medical science.
Such great health & wellness information! Great discussion. Dr. Ovadia gave your book as gift & listened to your book on Audible. I'll be listening again & giving out more books. Thank you!
Yes thats true about the sun!! I'm fair skinned with freckles.. of Irish descent.. I used to burn very easily, I also used factor 50 sun screen, however since going mainly carnivore, no carbs, I can sit in the sun most of the day without burning!! This is what really convinced me that plant based and processed food is basically killing us.. big changes required!!! Thankyou guys!! 💚🌳🌻🦋🦉🙏🐕🧙♂️🙏
@@seanwhitfield4581 Yeah, it's crazy to think that the sun would kill us! What did people do 100+ years ago before sunscreen?? I heard a dr say it was processed seed oils making us sensitive to the sun. I'm interested to see how my skin does next summer.
If they want to keep their license to practice they must go with the narrative. Look what happened to Dr Peter McCollugh. They stripped him of his certification for speaking the truth. Myocarditis is a definite side effect of guess what.
You start out by saying heart disease in most is caused by poor health choices. I’m a 57 year old OR RN with CAD and a s 12:35 tent and let me tell you, I’ve always taken care of myself with diet, exercise and abstaining from all the “bad” things. What I did do was follow the SAD not knowing any better. I have spent years researching this before you could go to UA-cam and could’ve saved myself a thousand trips to the library. I’ve adopted a ketovore diet and have successfully started moving my numbers in the correct direction. It’s not fair the damage people have sustained listening to the “experts” when it mattered most! Is it too late? IDFK but I’m trying my damndest to overcome this situation I’ve found myself!
Agree. I’m pretty chapped about the low-fat-diet propaganda on which I relied for multiple decades. My chickens (er… carbs) are coming home to roost; I found Carnivore just earlier this year. The damage was already done.
Very insightful information, my Dr. recently put me on a satin drug, but I already changed my diet, dropped 25 lbs., exercise pretty regularly. I never wanted to take a statin drug anyway and from what I heard confirmed it. Thank you will purchase your book😊
Socioeconomic status is a dominant factor in health. I can't even get to see my doctor to get my blood pressure checked as they just triage patients away from their practice. This heart problem is deliberate, the food industry know exactly what they are doing pushing their poisons. Eugenics.
Amazing content! You covered so much in a short time, and both of you are so knowledgeable. Thank you for this enlightening discussion on biomarkers and what to watch out for to avoid ending up on the operating table!
Yes, but only on blood clots made of fibrin, just like lumbrokinase. Regarding atherosclerosis, ketogenic diet is the cure for non-calcified plaque. There is a scientific research currently being conducted that found ZERO cases of non-calcified plaque among large number of long-term (few years+) keto dieters, which is impossible to find in random general population. And lastly, for calcified plaque, which is much rarer than non-calcified plaque, one should try ketogenic diet with megadoses of vitamin K2 in MK-4 form + perfect intra- and extracellular magnesium levels proven by regular blood tests. Diet with all essential minerals and vitamins is a must too.
Anecdotal, my 70 year old friend had a scan showing significant blockage in October. He just had a scan that showed an 60% reduction using Serracor NK that his functional doctor recommended. It has Natto in it. No other meds
Great episode. I really think the tendency for people to think of ASCVD as a 'lighting strike' phenomenon that you just can't avoid is the exact wrong way to think about this disease.
Isn't it the 'soft plaque' that kills you when it erupts and creates a blockage? I was confused by his first statement that the calcium scan score which measures 'hard plaque' is the most important test. Cedars Sinai , "The CIMT test (carotid intima-media thickness, which measures soft plaque) plays a pivotal role in diagnosing the extent of carotid atherosclerotic vascular disease, enabling timely intervention."
What he actually said was "screening" test. That is based on simplicity and cost. But a non-zero score he said could justify closer future monitoring or more in depth tests
As you age the smooth slippery blood flow slips around your young body like an aerodynam sports car, down a flexible thin stretchy arteries linings, they reason up till your 30 then it's down hill everywhere it get rough tough ans slowing down, well you stopped excersise and your diet caught up on you, the key is Nitric Oxide, your body makes it from the food you eat, then stores it in the nasal cavity and around your body, it's not enough and there is a WD40, remember the spark of life from Tesla, the print out of your car exhaust analysis showing NO, you can make one easy, just don't try to sell.....they will crush you 😢
The CAC is just for screening. If you have a positive score. You know you have soft plaque. It’s time to make changes. You’ll see a blockage in the heart long before you will in the carotid arteries.
This is my first time watching your content....what a fantastic video! I have been following Dr. Ovadia for awhile now.....great conversation with him!
My cholesterol is 175, HDL 65, LDL 100, Triglycerides 73, Lipoprotein(a) 10, Sed rate 5 and CRP 0.02. Doctor is concerned that my ApoB is 69 and Homocysteine is 12.1. Waiting for CAC results. Did stress and echocardiogram, came back normal.
Wonderful video!!!! I sent it to several people. Dr. Ovadio is a hero for telling the truth and you are terrific for diving into these topics like you do and bringing VERY important news to us "regular" people. I didn't know you can get an MRI for FAT info! SO revealing to do that. And I just ordered the Berberine product. Thank you MYOXCIENCE .

![Carnivore Diet Dangers? 2 Doctors Answer Questions [Dr Anthony Chaffee]](/img/tr.png)
I bought this heart surgeons book. It’s excellent. This is the best interview I’ve ever seen on heart disease. My cardiologist just gets irritated when I ask him anything about diet. He just peddles pills. Well I’m doing a carnivore diet and it’s cleared up my diverticulosis. Skin tags disappearing. Sinus and allergy issues. Snoring. Sleep apnea. High Blood pressure. Psoriasis. Eye floaters. IBS. All gone Within the first month. Insulin resistance and pre diabetes will all be gone soon. Ive lost weight. Im Hoping to be off my BP meds soon.
She
I would like to know exactly what your eating, please. I need encouragement to keep going with carnivore. I do know that after two months of carnivore I quit having diarrhea. So I had a gut problem. Since after having COVID and fatigue the whole month of January and working I gradually slid off carnivore. I'm getting back on. I have only retained a 10 pound weight loss. Weight wasn't my prime concern but I do have 25 more lbs. to lose. I've already increased my walking so that should help. I'm 71 yrs. Thx!
I gave Dr Caldwell estletyn who does vegatarian which is good but this is totally opposite and the vax made me have clots after micro how can this be it's totally opposite I'm so worried to do this and now breast cancer ,,,,? I think I have metabolic disease and isulin resistance so now what do I do ,,,
. I suggest you read Dr. Annette Bosworths book 'Anyway you can'. She's an internist who discovered how the keto & zero carb diets helps with cancer. She also has courses available & a youtube channel.
@@lynlawley8903also you need to cut sugar out of your diet… period! Sugar feeds cancer. Guess what carbs turn into when you eat them… sugar… period! Look at the carnivore diet. Also don’t eat any processed food. That will for sure help with your insulin resistance. You must be dedicated.
My grandmother lived to over 100 years old, and she cooked everything in bacon fat and beef tallow. She grew all her own fruit and veggies . All her animal foods were bought local from neighboring farms. Even at 100, she was on no meds and never had any vaccines. She fell off a ladder and broke her hip, so she had to go to the hospital, where she ended up getting pneumonia, and they let her fall out of her bed. She probably would still be here today had she not had to be in the hospital .
I also had a great uncle who lived to 115, and he ate pretty much the same way, lots of homegrown food and everything cooked in animal fats. They're from Tennessee, so good ole southern food.
I'll take eating good over statins any day, because on the opposite side my dads side of the family they had horrible diets lots of processed foods lots diabetes and the ones who were on statins died from heart disease.
We need to bring back eating nose to tail in the US and stop the criminalization of raw milk. Stop pushing kale and pesticide laden gmo soy and corn products and start pushing liver, fish roe ,raw milk, and raw milk food products because those are the true superfoods. When your body gets real nutrition, fat soluble nutrients you will find you don't need to eat as much and you are not constantly hungry.
The food pyramid needs to be completely redone, but they will never do that because, unfortunately, our government, the healthcare system, and big pharma want us fat and sick ,so we are lifelong customers. Let's get back to fixing people's health issues and not just pushing drugs .
Nicely said
Hi Kellyer1970 , I agree 100%. I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. I can truly feel your pain. I'm guessing that they gave her a serious infection after restraining her to a bed?
My precious Mom fell and cut her head. It was not an emergency. I was not told about it until my brother's decisions cost her dearly. The hospital killed her a month ago. I'm against hospitalization and the big pharma controlled pill pushers who claim to be health experts. Most MDs have not taken one semester of introductory nutrition and are the biggest cause of death in America. I can tell from your comment and channel that you are better qualified than they are about general health and recovery.
I saw you said no vaccines? Wow!!
We live in different times than our grandparents with a lot of different issues / factors that can’t be boiled down to merely diet. We live longer than at any other time in known history yet we are as a group supposedly unhealthy according to some survey or study. We are all going to die of something eventually, thank goodness.
The Govt subsidies: corn, wheat, soy, and rice. Carbs, Carbs, Carbs. The entire scam is about wealth transfer.
It is a rare phenomenon to hear a doctor say "the body can heal itself".
too bad those doctors were CENSORED during the CovidScamdemic!!
While I partially agree with you..the fields of Osteopathic Medicine has been promoting that for over 100 years.
The doctors know of course. They face uncooperative patients who choose poor diet and health habits and prefer pills.
Yes your correct as I worked in a hospital and the cancer ward would have people on mobile drip stands but would be outside smoking, some people look for the magic pill and don't help themselves or listen to some facts and how cancers develop as every day is a day in school.
@@Evo836
Very true. It doesn't help that industry controls government and profit is their motive so our food supply is compromised and natural health options are deliberately thwarted.
I started whole food plant based about 10 years ago along with B12 and D3 K2 supplements. I dropped 120 pounds painlessly and standard metabolic panel tests improved dramatically. I hear the same from people on carnivore. Becoming increasingly convinced that processed food is at the core of most health issues.
That is great, but I do plant based organic mainly & I have a very high calcium score. 1,000 to B exact!
I also take B12,Vit D sometimes since mine is high 66 & I take many other supplements as I can afford to.
Could not do the carnivore diet because of how animals R raised & the fact that U gotta kill them to eat them. Bothers me still. Also meat is ever so expensive. Way out of my budget!
So those R 2 reasons I eat as I do, but I have 70 to 75 % carotid blocked artery & 50% on the other 1.
So I am guessing it must B something else making my calcium so high. I take various mags. also. Could B having eaten cheese as 1 protein source. Not sure, but I am facing a serious blockage now.
I do not know of any real way to get rid of plaque except a surgery.
Very scary to say the least!
High carb or low carb? Seed oils, sugar, processed foods? I suspect your diet has been on the high side in the above. Meat doesnt make a difference its removing the above.
@@hemisphere903 Were U speaking to me? If so I DO NOT eat lots of processed foods. I eat mostly organic fresh food, but I do love my cheese & that is probably what has caused my plaque in my carotid artery. I'm trying to cut back on cheese. I eat almost no bread, no potatoes, little noodles & rice, cutting out some cream & no pretzels & alsmst no sweets except organic strawberries, & blue berries..
It is so difficult to find stuff to eat. I have not been eating dead animals, but am thinking I may have to eat the least expensive dead animal meats so I can get protein outside nuts & cheese!!
I eat as much organic I can find. I try NOT to eat anything NOT organic too..
But I think eating all the saturated fat has created my high calcium score & the plaque in my neck artery. I will Be checking for blockage in my leg veins as well. I am getting some fluid in my ankles these days.............................
Happy for you. However my experience (and my wife) was that traditional food pyramid diet and vegetarian diet as problems worsened, it did not help. Went Keto and a huge improvement. Toyed with carnivore (which to us seemed stupid) but surprisingly found it was fine - think it as excellent elimination diet. But decided to use Keto. I have no problem eating meat, every living thing on this planet serves as food for others. Living in the country I know nature does not give a stuff about how things die.
Of course that's what it is and these people know that just eat real food but don't overdo any one food
Dr Ovadia is a breath of fresh air. His message is so inspiring.
...and clear.
I mean seriously???? nothing to do with the vax??? you people are evil
Nothing new, you should know this already.
in summary: fixing your chronic inflammation (food, better earlier sleep, reduce stress) will greatly reduce many deadly consequences (diabetes, heart diseases, brain problems,...).
Appreciate the great interview, more of those, please!
I use Curcumin ( active ingredient of Turmeric) which I take for Ulcerative Colitus but effectively helps reduce inlflammation throughout the body, and it's natural.
Thanks for the summary
Thank you. An hour video is too long for many.
How do you reduce stress? Financial etc the cost of living is outrageous the govt is our enemy I don't see how we reduce that stress?
I use turmeric with black pepper in food, vitamin K2, and fermented vegetables.
Excellent video. Great to hear a Dr speaking about solving the root cause rather than just prescribing a pill or doing surgery to treat the symptoms. He says he was self taught. They don’t teach how to stay metabolically healthy in medical school (intentionally).
Indeed. Excellent Video!
Fantastic content, one of your best podcasts ever IMHO. It’s such a shame that high-quality content like this has to be looked for on UA-cam and other platforms rather than being disseminated at every doctors office in the country, and featured on news shows, etc.
Yes - These are clues as to what's been going on.
Had masdive heart attack at 44. Refused quad bypass and changed my diet to strict non processed foods. This was in 2007 and I'm still here. Stopped my statin about 10 years ago also. My cardiologist was extremely upset with me during covid also bc i refused the juice. He actually told me im lucky I didnt die of covid. Sometimes patients can teach doctors new ways to treat disrase instead of going under the knife.
Wow that is amazing!! I am doing research since I am afraid I will have to have carotid surgery due to a 75% blockage & seems there is no way to remove plaque without some kind of surgery. Fearful of doing anything or doing nothing, but change my eating even more. Like eating way less cheese! I eat a high saturated fat diet. No dead animals except fish! But the dairy stuff has lead too this high plaque blockage. Damn!
Based on my statistical research when I worked for the drug companies I refused to take Statins. My doctors kept telling me I would die. They wrote on my medical record that I was insane. I will be 80 in August and enjoy cooking and walking. I take lessons in German over the internet every day and have increased my vocabulary. So life without statins has been good. Medicare insurance requires that I see my doctor once a year or else I would not have gone to see them. That being said professional medical advice has helped me e.g. my brother said he and the other airline pilots he knew as a pilot himself all recovered from insulin resistance after reading Protein Power by Dr. Eades and so did I. Likewise my years of painful cramps ended when I took magnesium recommended by Dr. Ken Berry also on the internet. I am trying to join and subscribe to some of the online doctors but for some strange reason some of the subscriptions are easy to get and others are not. .....

I believe exercise IS helpful, because if you do pumping exercises you are working your blood vessels, veins, capillaries. You increase blood flow throughout your body. Your body will adjust and adapt by improving the pipeline and may even build new to deal with it. However exercise does NOT replace the need for a good diet. It IS helpful and will improve upon a good diet
Also, building up body heat and increasing blood pressure is like flushing the pipes in a sense.
Iwas told young that I have hardening of the arterys. All I was offered was statins. I tried them but I DIDN'T feel well. I looked into calcium Disodium EDTA treatments but it was not supported, my insurance wouldnt let me try it.
I came to the conclusion that I should stop taking Calcium.I learned the kind I used (calcium carbonate) came from ground up seashells. I was having alot of kidney stones and I had bone loss despite using it. I GOBBLED TUMS,which is calcium carbonate. My heart looked like a 5 yr.old, so I studied suppliments. Here's what I tried; I then switched to calcium proprionate , magnesium glycinate, vit D3 (not D2 in milk which is synthetic). I made sure I took vit.A,C,E.
I just had my bone scan and the Tech. was shocked, --my bone loss halted at 62 ( this after early surgical menopause no HRT since 2011).
OK thats becau🎉se you did a better calcium , it sounds like I'm going to try you're route I'm doing small fish with bones but we now have micro plastic and they say that also , has problems ,, and sibo and other parasites are a problem its just ?

It has little to do with heart disease and longevity.
The damage was still be caused by glucose no matter what you do. There is a lot of information now on the damage caused by exercise cortisol, over exercise. Better to do yoga, pilates, walking, in that case yes it has health benefits for more and brain, but many people have exercised their butts off and ended up with atherosclerosis because of carb addiction, even whole grains, read grain brain
I am 77 yrs old female. My cardiologist declared i had 45 % with no testing. Wanted to put me on statins. I had to demand that my cariologist order a CAC test. It is not covered by insurance. It came back clear.
I have eaten a keto-carnivore diet all my life. eating bacon, using bacon grease on veggies.
That's just stupid. That's a heart attack on a plate. Keep it up, and you won't make it past 80. Having a good CAC alone DOES NOT EQUAL GOOD HEALTH.
Keep up the good work, keto- carnivore lifestyle of eating.
@@dan-qe1tbno but the THOUSANDS of people on carnivore & Keto who are not only in the best health of their life and cleared up life long illnesses do PROVE IT. Just because the medical field wants to keep playing dumb because the w e f wants you to not eat meat doesn’t mean we have to listen to it. Especially since the proof is out there and they refuse to admit they’re wrong. So you sir are the moron.

I have had high cholesterol since my 40’s. I refused statins. I am 80. Still high cholesterol and still healthy. No heart disease. I quit sugar in my 30’s and possibly may have protected me. Sugar irradiates the lining of blood vessels. I think that causes heart disease. Anyone else think this way? Mostly meat. Some greens.
Great discussion. We in other specialties do not have the time available to seek out and find such broad comprehensive opinions summarizing the latest findings. So very much appreciated.
7/01/22: CAC Score was 450
11/01/23: CAC Score was 253
How I did it? Carnivore diet, 3 capsules of Vitamin D3, and one capsule of Koncentrated K (the original) (bought from Amazon). That’s it. No exercise.
What is CAC Score? How is it measured?
How many IUs in eacjh capsule of D3?
Vitamin K2 mk7 helps best if comes from animals meat that eat organic greens.
Cool fact:
Vitamin D is a natural steroid. How about that !!!
Just learned this week from Elliot Overton !
Do you think the pottassuim is what helped ??

I absolutely love this doctor. Talk about a man that really cares about his patients. I also love the young man and just how smart he is talking about these things very impressed with both of them. Very helpful an understanding heart disease
Love dr Ovadia if only all cardiologists were as good ❤❤
My cardio office never has any parking spots open. They're fully booked. Making $$ hand over fist. WHY would they want that to end?
I just ordered Dr. Ovadia's book. An inspiring doctor. I learned about some tests I will ask to have done at my next doc visit. The notion of avoiding processed food is one I plan to follow religiously. Thank you for a most helpful podcast.
We need more cardiologist's like Dr Ovadia, I just saw my cardiologist and he persistantly tried to get me on a statin, my BP was 120/82, I've been on a OMAD diet for 2 1/2 years lost 35lbs and 4" on my waist , I had a stent placement 5 years ago haven't see my cardioloist for 4 years and took myshelf off BP and statin meds, I need a good Dr to help me manage my medibolic health.
I just want to make you aware of something important. When I had my first massive heart attack, my BP was absolutely normal during that MI. It was 120/80 and bc it was normal the ER nurse refused to give me a nitro even though I was begging for an hour. He got mad at me bc I refused the x-ray and ABG (arterial blood gases)games. I tried to educate a fellow mwd staff only for him to raise his voice at me stating " I'm going to write in your chart your refusing docs orders so there's no room for you to sue us" then huffed out the room while I'm yelling at him to have doc order me CnP plus nitro now! Doc ordered what I asked and couldn't get me transferred by helicopter fast enough. When I arrived at next hospital rolled into surgery, the surgeon looked at me and said " I can't believe your awake talking to me yet". Then he allowed me to watch the stent surgery plus pointed out where my blockage was so I knew. I never should have lived through that MI.
Never think just bc BP is normal range that your good to go is my point. I suggest a strict diet change and I still take my blood thinner as I've not yet figured out what holistic med I want to supplement with. As for stating, I stopped them way back in 2011. I pray you stay feeling well and only keep your health moving in right direction 🙏

My dad had his first heart attack when he was 41. I was diagnosed with CAD at 37. It's really hard and scary to make good medical decisions knowing that most cardiologists are just going to follow the directives they were told by Pharma.
Hi Brandon what you describe is almost same as my experience. Dad had heart attack at 40 and I had angina at about same age. Been on statins ever since and 3 stents over the years. Now approaching 56 and just taking each day as it comes hopefully a miracle cure one day!
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH OF THIS INFO should be closely examined. … in my opinion of course, from my own research.
Dr JACK KRUSE (neurosurgeon) said once that he would NEVER prescribe a statin drug. He said they are a mega billion dollar industry (😎) and they destroy the muscles in your body, starting in the legs .. and … your HEART is a muscle 🤔 (think about that …)
WHAT !!! ???
my friend completely cleared his atherosclerosis by taking high doses of a natural organic made from silkworms … NATTOKINASE (you can take up to 20 per day)
@@colpin99- statins? Why, why, why? Making the numbers behave doesn't make you healthy. You're shutting off your bodies repair mechanism.
Darko Vlček made a very good point when he said that the lab numbers of "glucoholics" aren't necessarily normal or healthy, and that LDL is not the evil monster made out by the medical system. When you eat carnivore, you need more bile to process the fat. The body produces more LDL to make bile. We also need cholesterol to form vitamin D and other hormones, and to rebuild cell walls. Doctors need to stop prescribing statins as a heart healthy intervention.
I understand what you mean. It's so very scary in the medical industry as docs are taught to do no harm but are steered to make money by following the standard of care protocol for every disease. Insurance companies play a big role too since they don't authorize payment for alternative, natural or holistic care. The "keep them sick so they come back" model is their money maker. Curing someone from the root cause doesn't make money. You're your own best advocate. The hospital emergency room should only be used for emergencies only (heart attack, stroke, unbearable pain, broken bones, etc). I only use conventional docs for testing as a prescription is needed for an ultrasound, etc. I take their advice with a grain of salt, do my own research and use my own discernment. After the last 2-3 years, the medical industry has shown their true colors and I don't trust them at all. Keto, ketovore and carnivore are best for health, especially the heart but it must be full time for life. Sugar and high refined carbs don't mix with good fat and grass fed/wild caught protein. Do your own research. Dr. Berg is a chiropractor but is a wealth of info along with keto and every other ailment you want info on. Dr. Darren Schmidt is located in Michigan and can see patients remotely but have 3 day travel packages for a visit. He's got this uncanny way of connecting the dots on root causes and has been very successful, especially with the heart. He does carnivore and Berg does keto. Check them out, both are on UA-cam! Dr. Pradeep Jamnadas is a medical cardiologist in Florida and supports the non-conventional mindset and more holistic. He's on UA-cam as well and sees patients. Time to fire your conventional docs and use docs that have your health interest in mind.
Hmm. Where did my controversial comment go? I can't see it anymore.
At the start of our low carb fasting journey, my wife's plaque score was 24. About 2 years later, her score was now 21. Processed carbs tend to have seed oils in them which seem to be a major contributer to all metabolic illnesses. Activating autophagy through extended fasts is what cleans up all of these problems.
Source of your statement? How do you know?
@@vcash1112 Here in Texas we have a medical facility called VisScan. They have different types of scans but the one we do involves the circulatory system of the neck and body cavity. Based on the calcium deposits, it will calculate the score. Cancer also shows up in the scan. My score was zero but with our first scan (they were having a 2 of 1 sale) the wife's score was 24. So after about two years of low carb, intermittent fasting (skip breakfast or dinner), some OMAD's and extended fasts, the next time she was scanned, her score was 21. I was not allowed to be scanned again in such a short period because my score was zero. Prior to this, we ate like most people. Too much rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, etc. I'm more active then my wife. She's like most women, lazy about exercise. About once a week I do weight training (HIT) and about once a week I cardio in the form of HIIT training. The main reason for starting low carb/fasting was to reverse my high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and loose weight which it did. I went from 235lb to 170 in about 4 /5 months or so. The type 2 diabetes resolved itself immediately but took longer for my blood pressure to normalize. Does that answer your question?
@@vcash1112 Here in Texas we have a health facility called ViaScan. About 4 years ago, at the start of out low carb/fasting journey, they were having a 2 for 1 sale so me and the wife got scanned. They scan (MRI) for many things but the scan we did was the arterial neck and body cavity scan. Based on the scan, they generate a calcium score. Mine was zero and my wife's was 24. Calcium shows up as white in the images. Cancer also shows up. Since my score was zero, I have to want 5 years to do another scan. My wife could get another one in two years. So in about two years when there was another sale, got her scanned again and her calcium score dropped to 21. The hope is to slow the rate of increase but to reduce the number is pretty amazing. We started low carb/fasting to solve my type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. The type 2 diabetes resolved itself almost immediately. It took longer for the high blood pressure to come down to normal. My going back to the gym I believe also helped to bring down the high blood pressure. I'm no longer on any meds. I do take some supplements for general health and longevity. Does that answer your question?

I couldn't figure out why I all of the sudden quit getting sunburned... going to school for nutrition and completely overhauling my diet it makes sense now
same lmao, Last summer was fishing with my brother. He eats whatever, the moderns slop diet, I eat only naturally. We were fishing for 5 hours on the lake...in the evening he was completely burnt red, I was slightly tanned but without any burns. Shts crazy
How does a good diet prevent getting sunburned?
@@9EDdie4 The same how it prevents acne, ezcema etc. With sunburns its more of the fat profile.
come to NZ or Australia on a high UV day - you will be brutalised and this good Dr would be to . I have been in many other courtiers where sun is just fine,. People get surprised in New Zealand when sunburnt in 20 minutes . Really pleasant to have low UV days and get massaged by the sun as opposed to beaten up. Anyway no matter where you are midday summer sun is better avoided , much nicer to get sun earlier or later in day
That happened to me on raw vegetarian food and green juices; no more sunburn son my skin even with hours on the beach ! I couldnt believe it ! Food is everything ! But if you think juste 2 seconds it makes sense. People being used so much to be told what to do they stop thinking by themselves and have lost the good sense and intelligence.
This is probably the most important video and interview on the Internet and UA-cam today! I have no words to express the gratitude I have for true thinkers and medical mavericks like Dr. Ovadia! In fact, I’m desperately seeking him out in consultation for my husband, who just underwent open heart quadruple bypass surgery. All of his doctors, including his internist, cardiologist, cardiac surgeon, and endocrinologist insist that he must remain on statins, blood pressure medications including beta blockers, levothyroxine and baby aspirin for the rest of his life. No other options entertained. No detailed lipid profile ordered. No discussion about diet or nutrition other than the recommended low fat high plant diet offered when specifically asked about it. He is only 60 years old and has always been very active and healthy up until a month before his surgery at the end of January. The scales are falling from our eyes now, though, thanks to the truth being shared by other carnivore champions out there! Doctors need to become educated and practice the Hippocratic oath, not the status quo!
Great video, I just had a CAC score for the first time (age 69) and I had to ask my pcp to refer me for it! It was 60, but I thought it was going to be higher since my previous decades in the 30's, 40's, 50 's of low fat, low calories, and processed food etc. (Now last 3 years, keto, ketovore and carnivore, and IF) CAC 60 score is considered mild heart disease. But radiologist did find a spot on my liver, and lungs and an ascending aorta aneurysm. (the liver spot, and lung spot already nullified from a previous ultrasound in 2021, so aok there) But my pcp still wants me on a statin since my LDL is high
(TC 323) BUT low triglycerides (87) and high HDL (91), Again I had to on my own get an NMR cholesterol particle blood panel test, that showed all my LDL is fluffy, and even my HDL is large. My HOMA-IR was
don't go on statins. with your tg/hdl there is not really a reason for it.
Will not all soft plaque calcify , thus causing the calcium score to still increase even though the soft plaque is not increasing? Is not the calcified plaque considered stable whereas the soft plaque has potential to break off and cause clots? Can one really decrease calcified plaque?
That is my understanding that calcified plaque is stable vs the soft plaque that is more of the problem. I only hope to slow the process down, guess time will tell.

What I liked most about this interview, was the doctor’s confidence.
I am 71, and took Berberine HCL, 1200mg BID, for over a year and it did NOT lower daily BG or A1c. But I suspect it did raise liver enzymes (AST/ALT) significantly, so recently stopped it, now waiting a few months to have labs drawn to confirm my suspicion. I am in the 7th year of major dietary changes; began with KETO, then Ketovoir, now Carnivore 3+ years, and doing IF for 6+ years. I've also had frequent labs at LabCorp, in addition to the standard ones my doc orders semi-annually. I lost 65+ pounds in the first six months of this venture, and keeping it off is easy, I actually had to focus on regaining a few pounds since, at 157, I was beginning to look frail and losing muscular strength. Btw, my A1c ranges 5.1 - 5.4, and my CAC score, a few years ago, was 16 on a 0-600 scale. Six years ago, an ultrasound of carotid arteries revealed moderate blockage, but 2-3 years later it was normal. Thanks for this excellent video!
Just turned 70. Went gluten free vegan 7 years ago and have stayed slim, healthy with lots of energy. I found the key to good health is clean eating, hydration with daily exercise which helps aid me to getting a good night sleep. Happily my labs have been perfect 👌 😍

Please look up Dr. Ken Berry! He is a huge fan of carnivore/keto diet. He has over 3mm followers on UA-cam!
@@Good2AT yes Dr. Berry has done the world a lot good.
@@Good2AT A few points:
Sorry,but the whole world cannot eat meat only, unless we start eating Soylent Green. (If you get my drift, 😄)
#2: Obviously humans were not designed to just eat meat. Just examine our teeth. Then examine a dog's teeth, whom nature did design to eat only meat. (Get it???) Thru the last million years, we ate mostly plant material and our genetics reflect that
#3: You cannot get the nutrients you need w/o eating plant material. You will pay for this behavior.
#4: This s just a fad. YES! It is an improvement over the disastrous diets the masses have. But that doesnt mean it is the best diet for us. ( And yes, the Innuit ,(above the Arctic Circle), traditionally lived off of full carnivore. Still, that does not imply that this is the best one can do)
#5: This one you will hate to hear: Carnivore is for lazy people. Weve found that one can lose weight while getting no exercise with this. (I have a good friend who has a sedentary job who has well demod this fact.) AGAIN, while this is good, (compared), it is not the best he can do. No matter what you may eat, a sedentary lifestyle is a disaster for your health. Just one effect is that you are going to have very sluggish mitochondria, and that is a factor in all disease.
The most excellent diet is not going to be full carnivore, ( but also it is also obviously not going to be what the average American is doing today)
Excellent Talk!

I only have high blood pressure when I go to the doctors office for my yearly primary care visit. She always wants to put me on high blood pressure pills. My cardiologist told me I would pass out because I don’t have high blood pressure. I just have it when I go to the doctors I think they call it whitecoat syndrome so now what I do is take my blood pressure for a month before I go to any doctor so they could see that I don’t have blood pressure problems, that was my cardiologist idea
I’m the same lol. I’m 49, Average 108/68 over the last month, a little low is perfectly normal for me and has been my whole life. Always goes high in the doctors office. I bring my log with me, settles the doc right down - I take my BP morning and evening 2 days per week and average it for the month.
Mine is usually high when I first arrive, so I always have them check it again before I leave, and it's always good. I suggest having them take it last thing ,not first.

Years ago our grandparents grew their own gardens using compost for fertilizer. Farming soil should be dark brown. All the farms now are light beige. My grandparents lived to be 100 and 106 years old. They did not have cars walked a lot and did more physial labor.
Millions still do that. I do that. There are countless UA-cam channels for hobby home growers, but it's tons of work and you cannot grow every possible fruit and veggie you like to eat due to climate or lack of space.

@@marianneharris-ux9pq there's enough evidence now to link myocarditis and pericarditis to the jabs. There's also a temporal link, since this spike has only happened since roll out and did not occur with the first waves of Cvd, but this is not proof of causation many cry. Dr Peter McCullough has written plenty on associated heart risks.
@@marianneharris-ux9pq there's plenty of data out there for you, if you're willing to look. Have you not even heard of casual links to myocarditis and pericarditis?
We all know it's down to climate change - cold weather, hot weather, any weather can cause heart attacks - according to the MSM.

Exactly 💯🤦🏻♀️😵💫
Those of us already with diagnosed heart issues have to have hope! We can all try to overcome the years of poor advice.
Excellent video! I am doing a deep dive into my lipid panel since finding out I have a high number of oxidized LDL and APOB. My other markers of metabolic disease are low. My naturopathic doctor wanted me to lower my saturated fat intake to less than 10% of my total calories. (She is a Peter Attia fan). I have done this as an experiment. I also introduced a higher carb level to under 100 carbs per day. I just took my second blood test and I am waiting for the results. I wasn’t fasted the first time. I plan on having a CAC done as a baseline. I am 57. I also just started BHRT. Needless to say, all of the content of this video was very interesting to me. Thanks again!
Well there is a certain "spike" something that might be causing additional heart disease.
Eating sugar, seed oils and other plant nonsense makes you susceptible to the spike, no matter if it comes from a real virus or from a jab.

@@davidzip8841 you didn’t watch the video…
@@afisanaa Looks IIke they Iied about that crap. Some refuse to read the data.
This is the best show you’ve had lots of reviews and comments vs your other shows. You need to do more of these like this. Also I hear your originally from Pittsburgh. Would like to have you look at my blood work after 7-8 months of carnivore. My cardiologist is flipping out! Please get back to me. Thanks
What a great, informative interview. Dr. Ovadia is a trusted Cardiologist. All this has put my mind at ease that I’ve chosen the right pathway to health. 👏👏
Really good point that we inherit habits as well as genes
Thank you. One of the most nuanced and informative discussions on heart health I have seen. I wish everyone here in Australia could see this. It shocks me how much the medical profession, the media and the general public still buy into scientifically disproven and tired old tropes about what contributes to poor heart health. I blame the pharmaceutical and ultra processed food industries for perpetuating the mythology, as they financially benefit. Saddens me that most General Practitioners are not up to date with the latest research and keep pushing statins, instead of promoting sound dietary, exercise and lifestyle practices. Modern medicine is very good at treating acute life threatening outcomes, and distressing symptoms, but very poor at managing the causes of chronic disease.
My CAC after a year of Ketovore (less than 10 carbs/day) dropped 6 points. But my wife, who had a higher initial score than I dropped 60 points over the same period on a keto diet keeping carbs below 20 grams a day.
Carnivore on zero carbs causes ketosis, it is extremely impactful.
I cut my remaining 10g of carbs and my stubborn insulin resistance capitulated in just two weeks…😮
@@whowhy9023That’s awesome! My insulin resistance got way worse on keto, and I felt nauseous every time I ate. I went plant-based and my glucose numbers are way down, from full-blown type 2 to pre-diabetic and still dropping in about 3 months. Blood pressure way down, cholesterol dropping, etc. All while eating way more carbs. After doing keto off and on for decades, I’ve discovered it just isn’t right for me. I’m glad it works well for some, though!
There can aIways be atypicaI resuIts in the popuIation, quite often there are factors contributing to atypicaI resuIts that are not factored in. OveraII the Iarge numbers of improvement with keto and carnivore diets demonstrates the benefits. Being open minded and Iearning what benefits the individuaI the most is key to success.
@@tarabooartarmy3654 Exactly, everyone is in a different spot. You could have had a bacteria overgrowth which causes other issues related to these issues, like LYME...
Lord, the head in the sand approach is relentless these past 4 years 🥴😑😤
Stronger leg people have a better chance of surviving serious angina,not because it's a potential indicator of overall physical health, but because leg exercises help prevent calcification of the leg arteries - generally speaking, of course.
Good veins in the legs (stronger leg people) also is less stress on the heart.
Thank you, Dr. Ovadia,You are the real Doctor good human beings that cares about people his patience❤️👍😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇦🇲🇺🇸
I’m so glad you both ask the pertinent questions and the Doctor is answering them.🙏🏾
I am that patient who has High LDL and I have the Familial Hypercholesteremia gene.
I had the Advanced Cholesterol test (NMR) per my Registered Dietitian. I have small dense and Low dense that are normal. Normal Triglycerides.
My A1C is 5.9. Pre-Diabetic. I asked for that test because every thing else is ok.
I am walking EVERY DAY since the end of June and it’s August now. I feel great.
I will be calling you Doc to understand my Advanced Cholesterol numbers.
Thanks so much.
undoubtedly the best and most informative discussion i have seen to date thank you
My friend developed a neurological heart rhythm issue. Everything perfect, cardiovascularly. Except, it started right after his second disease preventing miracle, But before the disease he got anyway. C-ya!
Yup
the third sentence is hard to follow
@@wisconsinfarmer4742 After his 2nd jabb, after which hegot C-19 anyway. Read between the lines. If I had put that in a comment the AI censors things.
@@got2kittys Thanks now it is readable. I think I had 4jabs, working in a nursing home, required. Now nobody who works there is getting jabbed. In spite of the J's, I still got covid 2x, but very mild because of my daily d3. I think the vitD also prevented complications from being jabby.
I did the same after catching covid. I'm sure I had svnrt previously and it always came along with viruses. After covid it was really bad and I ended up in hospital twice. It took 18 month to go altogether. I never had a problem after the vaccine. I just caught the latest variant not covered by the jab.
Excellent questions, excellent answers. It's very rare to find this combination!
This video is for the record books for most useful information in a video.
I did, went from calcim score of 3 to zero in 13 months, i exercised lightly daily, fasted, got enough sleep, took a low dose statin and lost almost 90lbs.
Thank you, both for this excellent conversation, for your desire to help many! 👏
Low carb and low processed food is best. Avoid low fat diets which don’t work to keep your heart safe. High carb and highly processed food s are the two primary drivers of metabolic disease. Metabolic disease and insulin resistance is the primary drivers of heart disease.
Low Carb is stress metabolism = inflammation = heart disease. Dont be a sheep.
Conjectures can be dangerous!
The Japanese people with longest life expectancy on earth eat Rice (a carbohydrate), Soybean processed foods (low fat), eat little red meats but add fish and sea weeds.
Theres also a test they did on Firefighters. It required Men to knock off about 42 push ups in one go, and if you cant do that youre in a higher risk of heart disease.
Which is merely a proxy for better fitness, which is likely correlated to metabolic health.
Uh oh. I can only do 21 - 22.
@@kevinkasp I am 64 years old. I can usually do 30 but sometimes 35 on my first set. I do 200 in sets. I set an egg timer for the time in between sets. It gets longer as I get tired. There’s a young medical Doctor that can do over 400 in one set. He’s got the world record.
@@kevinkaspYou are not alone. 😊
I saw a woman in a store who had pallor so I started a casual conversation with her asked if she experiences a number of symptoms of ischemia. She reported having seen a cardiologist the day prior saying her stress test revealed she had a heat of a 16yr old. I said, "Don't bet on it. Get hold of nitroglycerine, it will save your life."
Forward several months, met the woman again and she says the very next day she collapsed in front of her brother's house, going to borrow some of his nitro. Two hours later she had a quintuple bypass, 5 coronary arteries! So much for a normal EKG and stress test. Even when the patient looks like death warmed up, doctors ignore it, especially for women.
43:00 minutes in, he talks about how eliminating polyunsaturated fats from our diet can make us less susceptible to sun burns. This explains so much! I have fair skin and always burned easier than everyone else. But the last five years since I've been eating healthier, I can go to the beach and take walks in the sun with friends and family (no sunscreen) and many times I'm the only one who doesn't get a burn. I haven't really understood this new phenomenon until now. 🤯😎
I’ve heard Dr. Ovadia before and was very impressed !
I wish all practitioners were as educated and up to date as this one.
The low-fat diet advice did push me to higher carb food, but it did NOT push me toward more processed food, because processed food is usually high in fat. I’m eating no more than 30 grams of fat per day, no more than 5-6 saturated, plant-based. My blood pressure is down from an average of around 170-180/100 to 110/70. My fasting glucose was in the 270s at type 2 diagnosis 2 years ago. 170s on keto. Under 130 now (sometimes under 100). Eating a baked potato before would give be 200+ after 2 hours. Now it’s under 130, and as low as 89. My cholesterol is coming down finally. Low fat plant based worked for me. It may not work for everyone, but for me it’s been a miracle.
@@a6backatdoha I have a CGM. As long as I stick to my very low fat diet, I don’t get huge spikes with much of anything except huge portions or extremely processed foods like white sugar or products made with white flour. Natural foods that are still intact with their fiber almost never cause big spikes for me. I can eat bananas, brown rice, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, whole grain bread, and even white potatoes without the huge spikes, but if I eat a lot of fat one day, sometimes I do get spikes later in the day or the next day.
@@a6backatdoha it doesn’t spike on the fat. It spikes when I eat the carbs later. Fortunately, eating a lot of fat makes me extremely nauseous so I don’t do that often.
@@a6backatdoha yes, and I followed the standard advice of eating a low carb diet, but it made me constantly nauseous. And if I ate my favorite food, a potato, my glucose would spike like crazy and I didn’t want to go without potatoes forever.
Then I found people like Dr. McDougall, Dr. Greger, Dr. Neal Barnard and the Mastering Diabetes channel. They explained that insulin resistance (the root cause of type 2 diabetes) is caused by too much fat inside muscle cells which aren’t supposed to have much fat in them. It’s called intramyocellular lipids. (Look that up on Wikipedia.) This blocks insulin from being able to enter cells, so glucose stays in the blood instead of going to muscle cells for energy. That’s why diabetics are tired all the time.
Once I switched from low carb to plant based, my fasting glucose went from 250+ to 100-130, and my post-meal (with carbs) went from 200+ to 100-130 as well. I’ve even had post-meal as low as 89 after eating potatoes. I was never able to do anything like that when I was low carb, so I would have had to stay low carb forever and I can’t do that because of how nauseous it makes me when I eat a lot of meat or dairy. My body just can’t tolerate a lot of fat.
@@a6backatdoha I thought I’d mention that it took about 4-6 weeks for my glucose numbers to come down a lot after starting plant based. Once they did, they stayed down. They only creep back up if I add too much fat back to my diet.
@@a6backatdoha I would never use 2 Tbsp of butter on anything. The most I’d use on anything would be a teaspoon or two on a baked potato, but that’s a LOT for me. If I ate 2 tablespoons of any fat at one time, I’d feel so sick. One tablespoon is 3 teaspoons! When I tried carnivore, I once ate a single teaspoon of butter on its own and I felt horrible afterwards.
I love the based audience we have here.

Fascinating !!!
I'm confused about what he said about polyunsaturated fatty acid. Reducing them was linked to reducing sun sensitivity? I thought these were healthy fats. Can you clarify?

Dr Ovadia's book, "Stay Off My Operating Table" excellent resource
Great conversation! Dr Ovadia’s style makes it very easy to understand. I learned so much from this and made notes to take to my own cardiologist. Thanks
I love that he admits off the bat that his position is controversial, but brings his own real professional experience to justify his position. It's this kind of reasoned argument that makes me sit up and pay attention vs the endless string of chiropractors and entrepreneurs on the internet claiming to be experts of cellular biology (despite no educational or professional experience) and making claims in the face of all established medical science.
A chiropractor gave my son a stroke when he was 38
Such great health & wellness information! Great discussion. Dr. Ovadia gave your book as gift & listened to your book on Audible. I'll be listening again & giving out more books. Thank you!
Yes thats true about the sun!! I'm fair skinned with freckles.. of Irish descent.. I used to burn very easily, I also used factor 50 sun screen, however since going mainly carnivore, no carbs, I can sit in the sun most of the day without burning!! This is what really convinced me that plant based and processed food is basically killing us.. big changes required!!! Thankyou guys!! 💚🌳🌻🦋🦉🙏🐕🧙♂️🙏
That is so interesting. Since going on a low carb diet my rosacea has gone. Higher saturated fat levels and no sugar in diet must be the cause
I stopped putting those sunscreen chemicals on when I went carnivore. I bay fish alot and no sunburn whatsoever
@@carldulaney6570 It was a real eye opener! Earth is my home planet after all!! I couldn't believe it... how we have been lied to!!!
@@seanwhitfield4581 Yeah, it's crazy to think that the sun would kill us! What did people do 100+ years ago before sunscreen?? I heard a dr say it was processed seed oils making us sensitive to the sun. I'm interested to see how my skin does next summer.
Awesome 😎
Great interview. Thanks to both!!
A lovely doctor and man. Thank you.

We all know why heart deaths are rising.
#clotshot
Doctors these days are blind😅 .....
If they want to keep their license to practice they must go with the narrative. Look what happened to Dr Peter McCollugh. They stripped him of his certification for speaking the truth. Myocarditis is a definite side effect of guess what.
You do realise that cardiovascular events were rising well before Covid 19...right?

Going on a keto diet with intermittent fasting could heal most people in 6m without any medication
I've always heard 5.5 minutes?
You start out by saying heart disease in most is caused by poor health choices. I’m a 57 year old OR RN with CAD and a s 12:35 tent and let me tell you, I’ve always taken care of myself with diet, exercise and abstaining from all the “bad” things. What I did do was follow the SAD not knowing any better. I have spent years researching this before you could go to UA-cam and could’ve saved myself a thousand trips to the library. I’ve adopted a ketovore diet and have successfully started moving my numbers in the correct direction. It’s not fair the damage people have sustained listening to the “experts” when it mattered most! Is it too late? IDFK but I’m trying my damndest to overcome this situation I’ve found myself!
Agree. I’m pretty chapped about the low-fat-diet propaganda on which I relied for multiple decades. My chickens (er… carbs) are coming home to roost; I found Carnivore just earlier this year. The damage was already done.
@@toonybrainbut it sounds like it might still be reversible
Thanks for this interview. I have metabolic disease and high blood pressure. It's great to have guidance.
Very insightful information, my Dr. recently put me on a satin drug, but I already changed my diet, dropped 25 lbs., exercise pretty regularly. I never wanted to take a statin drug anyway and from what I heard confirmed it. Thank you will purchase your book😊
Socioeconomic status is a dominant factor in health.
I can't even get to see my doctor to get my blood pressure checked as they just triage patients away from their practice.
This heart problem is deliberate, the food industry know exactly what they are doing pushing their poisons. Eugenics.
Loved this interview. Thanks, was much appreciated! 👍
Keep spreading the word dr. Olvadia
Amazing content! You covered so much in a short time, and both of you are so knowledgeable. Thank you for this enlightening discussion on biomarkers and what to watch out for to avoid ending up on the operating table!
Does nattokinase have any effect on arterial blockage?
Yes, but only on blood clots made of fibrin, just like lumbrokinase. Regarding atherosclerosis, ketogenic diet is the cure for non-calcified plaque. There is a scientific research currently being conducted that found ZERO cases of non-calcified plaque among large number of long-term (few years+) keto dieters, which is impossible to find in random general population. And lastly, for calcified plaque, which is much rarer than non-calcified plaque, one should try ketogenic diet with megadoses of vitamin K2 in MK-4 form + perfect intra- and extracellular magnesium levels proven by regular blood tests. Diet with all essential minerals and vitamins is a must too.
Look into the best effects from berberine ..check out Dr Mobeen and his video on CAD and berberine
It helps with blood flow and important if you’ve had the jab
Anecdotal, my 70 year old friend had a scan showing significant blockage in October. He just had a scan that showed an 60% reduction using Serracor NK that his functional doctor recommended. It has Natto in it. No other meds
@@-xyz-012 The natto ? or berberine
Great episode. I really think the tendency for people to think of ASCVD as a 'lighting strike' phenomenon that you just can't avoid is the exact wrong way to think about this disease.
Isn't it the 'soft plaque' that kills you when it erupts and creates a blockage? I was confused by his first statement that the calcium scan score which measures 'hard plaque' is the most important test. Cedars Sinai , "The CIMT test (carotid intima-media thickness, which measures soft plaque) plays a pivotal role in diagnosing the extent of carotid atherosclerotic vascular disease, enabling timely intervention."
CAC-score is more diagnostically accurate.
You can have a perfect intima-media thinkness test and die 3 weeks later from a heart attack...
What he actually said was "screening" test. That is based on simplicity and cost. But a non-zero score he said could justify closer future monitoring or more in depth tests
As you age the smooth slippery blood flow slips around your young body like an aerodynam sports car, down a flexible thin stretchy arteries linings, they reason up till your 30 then it's down hill everywhere it get rough tough ans slowing down, well you stopped excersise and your diet caught up on you, the key is Nitric Oxide, your body makes it from the food you eat, then stores it in the nasal cavity and around your body, it's not enough and there is a WD40, remember the spark of life from Tesla, the print out of your car exhaust analysis showing NO, you can make one easy, just don't try to sell.....they will crush you 😢
@@merlindxb4333
You started well, then it went downhill from there.
The CAC is just for screening. If you have a positive score. You know you have soft plaque. It’s time to make changes. You’ll see a blockage in the heart long before you will in the carotid arteries.
This is my first time watching your content....what a fantastic video! I have been following Dr. Ovadia for awhile now.....great conversation with him!
My cholesterol is 175, HDL 65, LDL 100, Triglycerides 73, Lipoprotein(a) 10, Sed rate 5 and CRP 0.02. Doctor is concerned that my ApoB is 69 and Homocysteine is 12.1. Waiting for CAC results. Did stress and echocardiogram, came back normal.
Wonderful video!!!! I sent it to several people. Dr. Ovadio is a hero for telling the truth and you are terrific for diving into these topics like you do and bringing VERY important news to us "regular" people. I didn't know you can get an MRI for FAT info! SO revealing to do that. And I just ordered the Berberine product. Thank you MYOXCIENCE .
