“Working further upstream, addressing the root cause of their problems, and Even after they've been on my operating table. I don't want them coming back. I don't want heart disease to continue to be. Problem in their life. So I realize now And I try to implement now that I am addressing that whole person and I'm not just addressing their heart disease.”

“I'm going to say that the advice that I had followed earlier in my career that I had gotten from my mentors that I wish I hadn't followed. To stay in my lane. Many times in medicine we pick our specialty. I chose to be a heart surgeon. The advice was always Just to focus on doing the heart surgery. And what I realize now is that I need to be treated the whole patient. I need to not only be thinking about the heart surgery that I'm doing, but or that I've done on that patient. But I need to be thinking about the whole patient and why they got there in the first place. and what we can be doing to change their course.”

“I haven't the way that I think I am able to deal with it is there are lots of positives. There's another patient whose life I can save or whose life I can improve and Fortunately, I guess the statistics are in my favor. The vast majority of the time, the surgeries that I do turn out well. And the patients do survive. And I have improved their lives. And I get that positive feedback. You know, they come back and they see me in the office. They are able to express to me their thanks for improving their lives. So In the end I know I'm having a net positive in the world. But it doesn't change how hard It is when we don't get the positive outcome that we're looking for.”

“I mean that we are literally collapsing under the weight of our own health problems. And if we don't change the course in the next fifty years, I worry that for my children. There isn't I worry that for my children there aren't going to be enough healthy people left in the world to maintain society for us.”

“Yes, I do believe it. But I am concerned The effort I'm concerned that we have gotten too far down the pathway, that we may not be able to truly solve this problem. I think ultimately... Not everyone is going to be able to Extricate themselves from the situation that they're in.”

“So the question is tell me something you have never told anyone before and that was asked by Gary Neville. I am not sure that I can solve the problem that I'm trying to solve. I'm not sure that I can complete the mission, that I now know I was put here. Our problem around health might be too big for me to solve. But I'm not going to stop trying”

“My personal experience is yes, it does. I can certainly say today, 10 years ago, if you had asked me, do you want the Girl Scout cookies? The answer was always yes. Today, I can say I can live without the Girl Scout cookies. So, yes, I do know that, like any other addiction, After a period of time, it becomes less of a temptation.”

“Sugar is everything. The food industry again, they know this. It's not. Accident that the most what may be the most addictive substance on the planet is in everything they're trying to sell us. It's there for a reason.”

“There certainly is. We have the data that processed food is addictive. Sugar is addictive. You've probably heard that sugar is more addictive than heroin. And that comes from studies where they look at the addiction centers in the brain and how much they light up with these different chemicals. And there's evidence that sugar is as addictive, if not more addictive than heroin.”

“Exactly. What I want ultimately, you know, we started talking about the mission that I'm on. And the mission that I'm on is to give people hope for them to understand that they can be healthy, that they don't need to end up on my operating table, that they don't need to be relying on the pharmaceutical industry for the last half of their life.”

“Struggle it used to be for me to get through a day as a busy heart surgeon. I would be tired all the time. I would be in a bad mood. I would be hungry all the time. And today, being metabolically healthy, that's no longer the case. I have abundant energy to make it through my day.”

“Yeah, they are. So, you know Ultimately, this is why I rely so much on the metabolic health measures. This is why I want people to be paying attention to these things because each of us needs to figure out how we can improve our metabolic health. What I find, what's most interesting, I guess I'll say about this, and this is personal experience, and this is also the experience that I have with my patients, is the more metabolically healthy you get, the more you want to remain metabolically healthy. When we figure out how to properly fuel our bodies and we figure out what we should be feeling like on a day-to-day basis, we don't want to go back to being unhealthy. We don't want to go back to feeling. Like we used to. When I think about what”

“Yeah, so I think that's going to vary depending. It's going to vary person to person. This is why I think the metabolic health measures are so important. This is why tools like a continuous glucose monitor can be so powerful. Because depending on your situation, that answer is going to be different. I can certainly tell you that nine years ago when I was morbidly obese, every Girl Scout cookie I ate was making me more metabolically unhealthy. Today, now that I am metabolically healthy, yeah, I can have an occasional Girl Scout cookie and it's not going to break the system. Not right now.”

“I think I'm pretty good at it these days because I'm giving myself better advice. In the past, I wasn't good at following my advice. Like I said, you know, I would tell myself all the time, eat less, move more, count your calories, eat a low-fat diet. And I wasn't good at maintaining that. Today, I'm good at maintaining the advice because it's better advice that I'm giving myself. So I'm not going to sit here and tell anyone that I'm perfect. This isn't 100% of the time, but it's pretty darn close”

“The harm is that our bodies never get the opportunity to burn the steward energy that we have. And so we just end up building up more and more stored energy and we reach that point where our bodies can't do that any longer. And the metabolic processes start to break.”

“Yeah, I think that's very accurate. Ancestrally and even, you know, again, we don't have to go that far in history. If most of us ask our grandparents or our great-grandparents, depending on how old you are, how often they ate, they're usually going to tell you two times a day, maybe three times a day. The average person today consumes calories eight times a day. And, you know, do the math. If you're asleep for eight hours and you're eating eight times a day, you're eating every couple of hours”

“And therefore, we find ourselves always hungry. And that is the main problem with processed food, that we end up taking in an abundance of energy without meeting the nutritional needs that our body is looking for.”

“Well, it's not that they do not want us to be healthy, it's that our health is not healthy. They are an industry. As an industry, their goal is to increase their bottom line, is to support their profits. They don't care whether or not we're healthy as part of that And quite frankly, they don't have a reason to. If you are a food company, your goal is to get people to buy more food, to eat more food. So what are you going to do? You're going to design foods that make people hungry more often. And that's exactly what processed food does. The problem with these processed foods is that they're supplying us with calories. They're supplying us with energy. They're doing that basically cheaply. And yet they're not providing our bodies with the nutrients that they need. So our bodies are constantly seeking those nutrients.”

“It's the processed food industry that's all around us. It's the vast majority of what is presenting to us as food these days. When we walk into the grocery store, when we walk into the supermarket, the vast majority of what's in there is not whole real food. It is not designed to support our health.”

“Yeah, I certainly do get pushback. And as you said, I am critical of my own profession because we as the healthcare system, we as medical practitioners need to be asking ourselves, are we doing good enough? And when we look at a society that everyone is unhealthy, we touch on the statistics before. We can't. Absolve ourselves of that responsibility for getting us to this point.”

“Some procedure, sometimes that's a surgical procedure, or it's things like wearing masks to treat the sleep apnea. And what we don't do is ask why we have that sleep apnea in the first place. And again, it seems to be related to our metabolic health. And one of the fairly consistent things that I see in people as they improve their metabolic health is their sleep gets better and those that have sleep apnea, it oftentimes improves or even goes away completely when they improve their metabolic health. And there's a weight loss component to that. But we even see this in people who aren't overweight. They have sleep apnea. They improve their metabolic health. They don't even necessarily lose weight as part of that process, and yet their sleep apnea goes away.”

“So, sleep apnea is basically when you stop breathing for short periods of time while you're sleeping. And we know it's very closely related to metabolic disease. I now have worked with many patients who have improved their metabolic health and their sleep apnea goes away. And again, the traditional view on sleep apnea in medicine is that it needs”

“Well, one obvious thing that we can point to is sleep apnea. Sleep apnea becomes very common as you get metabolically unhealthy”

“Yeah, so sleep really has, again, unique benefits related to metabolic health. When we sleep, that's the time that our body is really doing that rebuilding process that is so key to us maintaining health. We see a unique sort of two-way relationship between sleep and metabolic health. And this is important for people to understand this. When we are metabolically unhealthy, our sleep suffers. If you're not sleeping well, it can be a key indicator that you may not be metabolically healthy. We also know that people who sleep less are more prone to being metabolically unhealthy, but Many different reasons why that might be. But ultimately what I focus on is that in order to be metabolically healthy, you need to be getting enough sleep. And if you're not getting enough sleep, it very well may be a sign that you are not metabolically healthy.”

“But it doesn't need to be that way. We can maintain muscle throughout our older age. And the keys to doing that is to maintain your metabolic health, is to be eating enough protein, is to be eating whole real food, and is to be continuing to do resistance in the Exercise, resistance activities throughout your lifespan, and we can actually maintain muscle as we get older.”
2023-04-20 · The Diary of a CEO · No.1 Heart Surgeon: Cardio Is A Waste Of Time For Weight Loss! Philip Ovadia · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“We don't seem to get more hungry from those, I guess from that metabolic activity. It's not the same as doing the cardio making us more hungry. The other unique thing about muscle, though, to understand is that as we age, The more that we are able to make The better quality of life that we have and the longer we are going to live. And again, this has been shown in repeated studies many different areas, heart disease included, that building and maintaining muscle as we get older is one of the best strategies for living longer and for living better.”
2023-04-20 · The Diary of a CEO · No.1 Heart Surgeon: Cardio Is A Waste Of Time For Weight Loss! Philip Ovadia · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“Yeah, so when we look at the science around building muscle resistance exercise, as I said, we see two unique benefits to building muscle. Number one is that that muscle is going to be more metabolically active tissue, that we're going to have on us all the time. So we're going to be burning more calories throughout the day despite the activity that we're doing”
2023-04-20 · The Diary of a CEO · No.1 Heart Surgeon: Cardio Is A Waste Of Time For Weight Loss! Philip Ovadia · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“That is bad news. And the extra point there is when we build muscle, muscle burns more calories throughout the day. So that's the other reason that the focus on muscle building is really the most effective way. Exercise your way to weight loss.”

“I think it is. I think it's our body's sort of homeostatic mechanism. And the other problem with thinking you're going to lose weight just by doing cardio is it's really relying on the calories in calories out model. So again, the underlying assumption there is that if we just burn more calories, that will compensate for the extra calories that we've been eating. And again, we see that that doesn't work over and over again. We know that our body actually adjusts the amount of calories that it burns. And if you go and you do that hour at the gym, during that hour you're going to have burnt more calories, but during the other twenty three hours of the day, your body is actually going to burn less. Calories to make up for that”
2023-04-20 · The Diary of a CEO · No.1 Heart Surgeon: Cardio Is A Waste Of Time For Weight Loss! Philip Ovadia · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“Yeah, there are two reasons that it doesn't help you lose weight. Number one is for most people after they do a lot of cardio, they get hungry and they eat more. So they kind of counterbalance whatever extra calories they may have burnt off doing the cardio”
2023-04-20 · The Diary of a CEO · No.1 Heart Surgeon: Cardio Is A Waste Of Time For Weight Loss! Philip Ovadia · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“So, when we look at the science around cardio, chronic cardio exercise, what most people think of as jogging or running at the gym, we see that it doesn't help for weight loss, doesn't help for fat loss. And that's why I don't want people to focus on cardio. And, you know, when we look at the macro level of this. We have more gems today than we ever have. People spend more time at the gyms doing cardio than they ever have, and yet we have a worse obesity problem than we ever have. So cardio is not effective for weight loss. Science is pretty clear on that. Doesn't mean that cardio doesn't have benefits. And I'm not telling people stop all the cardio that you're doing. I just don't want people to think that only by doing cardio are they going to be able to lose weight and lose fat and have long-term success around that.”

“Muscle is metabolically active throughout your day. And so when you focus on building and maintaining muscle, it's going to better support your health, your metabolic health than if we're just trying to do the cardio exercise and burning the extra calories during that time that we are exercising.”
2023-04-20 · The Diary of a CEO · No.1 Heart Surgeon: Cardio Is A Waste Of Time For Weight Loss! Philip Ovadia · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“Yeah, so some of the concepts that I talk about in a book around exercise, the way I phrase it is I want you to get more activity. One of the mistakes that I see people making is that they focus on doing periods of exercise. They say, I'm going to go to the gym and work out for an hour. I'm going to go run and, you know, for an hour. And they don't pay attention to getting enough activity throughout the rest of their day. So I try to get people to refocus on just getting more activity throughout your day. And then when it comes to your exercise and your metabolic health, the most important part of building metabolic health through exercise is going to be building and maintaining your muscle. Muscle is very unique when it comes to To our metabolic health.”

“That's just the natural inclination, I think, that we have as human beings. We don't want to continue to put that work in. The other possibility is that you don't meet your goal. You don't lose the 20 pounds because it's actually hard to lose 20 pounds. And you get frustrated and you give up and you go back to your old habits. So instead what I encourage people to do is think about their health as a system and think about the habits that are going to support that system. To more positive way to think, what are the habits that I can adopt to support my health more sustainable? People can do that over the long term because when we're doing positive things to improve ourselves, we can do that over the long term. If we're taking away things if we're Restricting ourselves, we aren't very good at doing that over the long term.”
2023-04-20 · The Diary of a CEO · No.1 Heart Surgeon: Cardio Is A Waste Of Time For Weight Loss! Philip Ovadia · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“Yeah, so I think this is a real important first step in this process. It's really the mindset behind it. And when I say I want you to think of your health as a system, not as a goal, what I mean is that I don't want us so focused on the short term, which is one of the mistakes that I oftentimes see around health. So many people, you know, we kind of talked about it earlier will say They recognize that they're unhealthy and they want to make a change. Oftentimes this is around their weight and they'll set a short-term goal. They'll say I want to lose twenty pounds. One of two things is going to happen in that scenario. You're going to make a bunch of changes Hopefully you're successful. You lose the twenty pounds, and you say, great, I accomplished my goal, now I can go back to what I was doing beforehand”

“In a lot of ways, easier to maintain. You don't have to quite do all of the planning that goes into a vegan diet. But ultimately, I'm happy as long as someone is getting metabolically healthy and staying metabolically healthy on whatever diet they're eating. And so I'm not dogmatic. I don't tell all my patients you need to be carnivore. I work with people on vegan diets. Ultimately, I want to help people understand how to get metabolically healthy, how to maintain metabolic health, and if they do it as a carnivore, if they do it as a vegan, if they do it somewhere in between, I'm happy for that, and I believe that should be our measure of success.”

“I do believe it I do believe that any diet that's optimal for humans shouldn't require supplementation. And so when I look at the opposite end of the spectrum, when I look at people who are doing a carnivore diet and eating all, or at least primarily animal proteins, they usually don't require supplementation. And they are thriving on long-term carnivore diets. And I think it's a more ancestrally consistent diet. And I think that it is...”

“And because there's a lot of messaging around it, oftentimes a vegan diet is going to be the first one that they try. And they're going to feel better initially. They're going to improve their health initially, their metabolic health markers will improve. Over the long run, it becomes fairly difficult to maintain a good vegan diet. You have to be supplementing. There are certain essential nutrients that we cannot get from plants. No one argues that the vegans don't argue it. They just say, okay, I'm going to take my supplements. It's hard to get the right amount and the right balance of proteins and amino acids from plants. And again, if you're supplementing, you can do it. The people that I see having long-term success on vegan diets are often working very hard at it. And they're very carefully planning. And like you said, it becomes hard to do.”

“Yeah, so I think a well constructed vegan diet, what probably should be better called a whole food plant-based diet is a significant improvement over the Western diet, over the standard American diet, over a diet with a lot of processed food. And that's really what you see when you look at the scientific literature around vegan diets. It's an improvement over the standard American diet, but it's not necessarily optimal, and especially over the long term. So the story that I see on a recurring basis is that someone will be eating, will really not be paying attention to what they're eating. They'll just be eating the food that's around them, the standard Western diet, and they'll be in poor health because of that.”

“Those nutrients end up in their muscle, in their meat, and then we are designed to get the nutrients from the meat. So I do think that meat animal proteins are essential to human health. Yes, being a vegan is going to be healthier than eating a diet full of processed food, the sort of standard Western diet. But I don't think it's optimal for human health ultimately.”

“I am very pro animal products. I actually think that when you look at the balance between the two, you're probably better off eating more animal products than more plant products. And again, that's something that goes very counter the mainstream narrative. Understand that as human beings, we evolved eating animals, we evolved eating meat. Our bodies are uniquely designed to process that meat. Our bodies are not well designed to extract nutrients from plants. And in fact, when you really look at the sort of evolutionary system, what developed is that the animals, especially ruminant animals with multiple stomachs, they are designed to extract nutrients from plants.”

“Yeah, great question because sometimes it's hard to tell these days So, the rule that I, you know, the kind of rule that I give people around eating whole real food is eat the things that grow in the ground and eat the things that eat the things that grow in the ground. So these are going to be your plant products, and these are going to be your animal products.”

“Yeah, so I go into it in the book. And what I really tried to look at was what are the common things amongst all those diets that will keep people medicated? And really it comes down to eating whole real food, elimination of processed food, I think, is the most important step if you want to get my diabolically healthy and remain metabolically healthy. And within that framework, there are lots of different possibilities. Some people have great success as a carnivore. Some people have success as vegans. You can do keto. You can do Mediterranean. You can do paleo. You can do lots of things in between. But when you really look at what is the one commonality that we can point to that will. Predict the best success of being metabolically healthy, it's eating real food, eating whole real food.”

“It very well can be, and oftentimes the problem with the people who are skinny fat is they don't get picked up on until we're much later in the process, until they're much sicker. So that's one of the issues with being skinny fat.”

“It is a big problem. Many people hypothesize that actually getting fat, getting obese on the outside is a protective mechanism. Because it's really when you get fat on the inside that we see the damage start to occur, things like diabetes, things like heart disease really start to manifest when you get fat on the inside.”

“Yeah, so skinny fat, it will oftentimes be referred to as tofy thin on the outside and fat on the inside. And what that really means is that we have internal fat around our organs, specifically in our abdomen, around our liver, around our pancreas, around our kidneys, that may not be obvious from the outside. Many of us kind of know what this looks like. You know, someone who's got skinny arms and skinny legs, not a lot of muscle, but they have a little bit of the pouch in the middle. That is skinny fat. And again, unless you're measuring it, unless you're looking for it specifically, you might not pick up on that.”

“Put the effort in to figure out if you're metabolically healthy or not. The statistics are actually pretty shocking because we have statistics again here in the United States looking at data from 2016 that show that 88% of the adults in the United States are not metabolically healthy. So when you look at those five measures, they can't meet all five measures of optimal metabolic health.”
