Stay Off My Operating Table
Dr. Philip Ovadia
I was a morbidly obese heart surgeon.All through high school, college, med school and surgical training, I followed the U.S. dietary guidelines for both diet and exercise. Yet nothing I did kept the weight off. I just kept getting fatter and fatter.Each day in surgery, I would split open the chests of people just like me. I knew I was heading for the operating table myself if I didn't find solutions that worked. In 2016, I finally found a way to lose 100 pounds and keep it off. Now - in addition to doing heart surgery - I work to help people just like me get healthy, lose the weight and keep it off. I'm Dr. Philip Ovadia, the rebel M.D. and cardiac surgeon who is working to keep people off my operating table.http://ovadiahearthealth.com/whitepaper/Any use of this intellectual property for text and data mining or computational analysis including as training material for artificial intelligence systems is strictly prohibited without express written consent from Dr. Philip Ovadia.

Reed Davis - Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Uncovers the Root Causes of Health Issues #146
Reed Davis, the founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, shares his expertise on the underlying causes of health issues and how functional medicine approaches these problems by identifying and then addressing what he terms "metabolic chaos" – the complex interplay of multiple causal factors that contribute to illness.We delve into the limitations of traditional allopathic medicine in addressing root causes, as it often focuses on symptom relief rather than uncovering the true sources of health problems. Davis explains that every symptom has a cause or causal factor, and that functional diagnostic testing plays a crucial role in identifying hidden stressors and dysfunctions that may be contributing to an individual's health issues.One of the key insights shared by Davis is the significance of nutrition in supporting optimal health. He stresses that nutrition is the ultimate medicine and must be tailored to an individual's unique nutritional requirements based on factors such as genetics and oxidative rates. By providing the body with the proper fuel and removing obstacles to healing, functional diagnostic nutrition aims to support the body's innate intelligence and desire to heal.Throughout the podcast, Davis and host Dr. Philip Ovadia explore various aspects of functional diagnostic nutrition, including the role of hormones, immune function, digestion, detoxification, energy production, and the nervous system in overall health. They also discuss the concept of "biochemical individuality" and how it influences dietary needs.This engaging podcast offers listeners a deep dive into the world of functional diagnostic nutrition, providing valuable insights and practical tips for optimizing health and addressing the underlying causes of illness. By understanding the concept of metabolic chaos and the importance of individualized nutrition, listeners can take proactive steps towards achieving optimal wellness.Connect with Reed DavisTwitter: https://twitter.com/FDNtrainingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fdntraining/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
