Stay Off My Operating Table

Medical

I was a morbidly obese heart surgeon. Throughout 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 bigger and bigger. Each day in the operating theater 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. ================= ================= 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 38atoms LLC.

Robin Switzer, Mastermind of the Hack Your Health Conference #139

4/16/2024
Like many people who reach their mid-40s, Robin Switzer was sick and tired of being sick and tired. She switched to a ketogenic diet, lost a lot of weight and felt more mental clarity. But that was just the beginning of her transformation; it sparked a complete revolution in her career and life. At the time, Robin was a banking execute making very good money. But she wanted to do something more meaningful with the second half of her life, something that mattered more than helping bankers make more money. That decision led her into an extraordinary second act. She initially got involved in the keto community through Ketocon. After a few years, she bought out the owners of the conference and rebranded the event to Hack Your Health. As popular as the title "Keto" has become, she wanted the event's name to more accurately reflect its focus on health optimization and not just on the keto diet. Robin shares with us the challenges she's faced to maintain the event's integrity. Turns out, plenty of companies are willing to throw money at the "keto market" even though their products are not remotely healthy. (Whoda thunk it?) She makes it a matter of personal responsibility to ensure that every company and presenter at the conference aligns with her mission to provide an authentic, health-focused forum for all who attend. This episode let's you know what to expect if you're joining us in person or tuning in from afar. Robin's invitation to take action for your health today is not just a call to action; it's a beacon of hope for those ready to transform their lives. Don't miss this power-packed episode that might just be the nudge you need to embark on your own health journey.

From Gourmet Chef to Keto Crusader: Jonno Proudfoot Sparks Low-Carb Revolution in South Africa #138

4/9/2024
They call the diet "Banting" in South Africa, in honor of the man who first proposed the ketogenic diet more than 100 years ago. Chef Jonno Proudfoot helped to popularize not just the term but the diet itself when he swam from Mozambique to Madagascar in the same year he released a Cook Book along with the legendary Tim Noakes. That confluence of circumstances spurred a nationwide movement towards a low-carb, high-fat lifestyle. Proudfoot narrates his story with a dash of history, a pinch of socio-political context, and a sprinkle of media influence. Jonno provides practical tips for those attempting the delicate balance of promoting a healthy lifestyle without commercializing it. It's a conversation rich with tales from the kitchen to the coastline.

Kevin Hines: The Man Who Survived a Suicide Attempt Off the Golden Gate Bridge #137

4/2/2024
Have you ever stood at the edge of life, teetering between the will to live and the temptation to end it all? Kevin Hines faced this chilling reality when he leapt from the Golden Gate Bridge, only to embrace life fiercely during his fall. In this astonishing conversation with Kevin, he describes the raw emotions and struggles with bipolar depression that brought him to the brink of death, the miraculous series of "coincidences" that saved him, and the extraordinary new life he has discovered on "the other side." Through his own battles with nutrition and gut health, Kevin connects "mind" with "body" as he explains how our physical health affects our mental state, and vice versa. Kevin says we each have a tale to tell, a personal narrative that can shake the world. His message is clear: life's value is immeasurable, and hope is a lifeline we can extend to one another, one story, one moment, one outreach at a time. ======================== Website: KevinHinesStory.com Social Media: @KevinHines ======================== Chances are, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast if you didn't need to change your life and get healthier.

Dr. Robert Pearl: How Artificial Intelligence will Transform Patient Care #135

3/19/2024
Dr. Robert Pearl is the visionary former CEO of Kaiser-Permanente Medical Group and a passionate advocate of putting the "health" back into modern American healthcare. In a candid conversation, Dr. Pearl dissects the fragmented, fee-for-service model that keeps healthcare stuck in the 19th century. He helps unravel the cultural complexities within medicine that not only impede physician satisfaction but also jeopardize patient safety. Dr. Pearl believes technology will be the linchpin of personalized healthcare. He explains how advancements in AI herald a paradigm shift in modern healthcare. According to him, AI could use personal health data to tailor patient care like never before. He's acutely aware that without addressing the current healthcare system's inefficiencies, these innovations may not reach their full potential. He proposes systemic reforms that could marry technology with healthcare, bringing about a quality, accessible, and affordable healthcare system that we've long aspired to achieve. Dr. Pearl asks provocative questions about the economic motivations behind our current healthcare model even as he casts a vision for more sustainable practices like capitation.

3/5/2024
Imagine a world where the food on your table not only nourishes your family but also heals the earth. That's what Sander van Stee is working towards every single day. Van Stee's knowledge of the relationship between soil health, animal welfare, and our food system is both deep and broad. One example: he finally helped us understand why grass-finished beef offers superior nutrition over less-expensive grain-finished beef.

Eric Berg: "Healthcare Should Enhance Health, not Merely Manage Disease" #131

2/20/2024
Dr. Eric Berg is a well-respected pioneer in keto and low-carb circles. He's a man who's been there almost from the beginning. So, rather than just cover old ground, we venture into the controversies and pushback from those industries that are threatened by the metabolic health movement. As it turns out, it seems the rise of keto threatens the economic biases and informational control exerted by powerful food companies. Who knew? In our conversation, we venture into the heart of the global dietary debate, where the tension between corporate interests and individual health is palpable. Dr. Berg breaks down the complexities of the battle. On one side, the protein-centric ketogenic diet. On the other, the corporate-backed dietary guidelines that favor grains and sugars. The implications are vast. We touch on public health, the medical establishment, and of course, Big Pharma. Finally, our conversation looks to the future of health and nutrition, with Metabolomics and personalized medicine taking center stage. Dr. Berg advances the revolutionary idea that healthcare should enhance our natural vitality, not merely manage disease. ------------- Connect with Dr. Eric Berg Website LinkTree Twitter ===================== Chances are, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast if you didn't need to change your life and get healthier.

Dr. Georgia Ede: Fix Your Mind by Fixing Your Diet #130

2/13/2024
You know there's something wrong with the state of medicine when doctors don't even consider "recovery" a possibility. That's the state of modern psychiatry. Dr. Georgia Ede believed it was true and accepted it as reality. That is, she believed it until she was faced with her own health problems. Her recovery from those health issues challenged that belief. She experienced the connection between diet and mental health personally. That experience inspired her to introduce the same food-based method to her patients. When they got the same positive results she got, she knew she was onto something.

Grace Price: Since We Haven't Cured Cancer, Why Not Prevent It? #126

1/16/2024
When an 18-year-old trailblazer named Grace Price joins our show, you can't help but feel the presence of a burgeoning scientific mind. Our latest episode captures Grace's remarkable story from a personal tragedy to a profound quest. With a remarkable self-taught understanding of biology, chemistry, and epigenetics, Grace explains why she questioned conventional nutritional wisdom, and addresses some hard truths about the food on our plates and the impact of ultra-processed products on our bodies. With guidance from experts like Dr. Thomas Seyfried, she's developed an expert understanding of the metabolic origins of cancer. It's no surprise to listeners of this show that she now challenges the healthcare system's entrenched focus on profitable, (and largely ineffective), treatments of cancer rather than inexpensive, (and largely non-monetizable) prevention of the dreaded disease. This episode isn't just a deep dive into the science; it's a critical look at the food industry's deceptive marketing, the inadequacies of dietary guidelines, and the urgent need for a pivot toward prevention in medicine. Grace's experiences at Alpha School—a hub for innovation in education—exemplify how young minds are being shaped to tackle significant challenges, from personal health crusades to broad societal shifts. The desire for change is palpable as we discuss the impact of dietary revelations on a generation ready to fix the broken parts of our food system. Knowing there are young people like Grace working on the problems of health and nutrition, this is perhaps the most hopeful episode yet in the history of Stay Off My Operating Table. Join us on this enlightening expedition through the intersections of health, nutrition, and the power of informed choices, led by a voice that is as commanding as it is youthful. ---------------------- Learn more about Grace Price TwitterWebsiteAlpha School Chances are, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast if you didn't need to change your life and get healthier.

Renowned endocrinologist Dr. Roshani Sanghani believes that the battle against diabetes will be won not with more medication, but less. She joins us from India to discuss her unique approach to combating this global health crisis. Dr. Sanghani's "lifestyle-first "philosophy stresses cultural understanding and patient education over heavily-prescribed medicines. As you'd expect, her approach is making waves, as well as getting extraordinary results. Is carbohydrate restriction a viable treatment for diabetes or is it merely a controversial theory? Dr. Sanghani challenges conventional guidelines because it often overlooks the role of diet in disease management. We ask her why the medical community resists this therapeutic approach. She touches upon possible reasons, such as conflict of interest and cognitive bias, and emphasizes her call for a more comprehensive, patient-centric approach to treatment. Finally, Dr. Sanghani shares some good news about her upcoming book on diabetes management, which she hopes will help revolutionize the current approach to diabetes. ----------------- Connect with Dr. Sanghani WebsiteInstagramFacebookLinkedIn Chances are, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast if you didn't need to change your life and get healthier.

Dr. Christian Issels: Why Cancer is So Hard to Cure - #121

12/12/2023
Ever wondered why traditional cancer treatments sometimes seem to fall short? Join us as we turn the tables on mainstream approaches with our guest, Dr. Christian Issels. Dr. Issels brings a fresh perspective to treating the disease. A seasoned naturopath, he digs deep into its root causes, and presents cancer as a symptom of underlying health issues. Inspired by his father's wartime experiences, Dr. Issels introduces us to alternative therapies such as antigenic therapy and Coley's Toxins, which may be the game changers we have been seeking. Dr. Issels challenges the common belief that cancer is merely a result of gene mutations and explore an alternate model of cancer as a metabolic issue. This different perspective explains why treatments like chemotherapy often have low long-term survival rates. Dr. Issels explains how organ systems like the liver, kidney, lymph, and phallus can be supported to create an environment where cancer struggles to thrive. From detoxification methods to proper nutrition, he explores the holistic approach to cancer treatment. Our conversation takes an unexpected turn as he discusses the roles of oxygen, glucose, and even stress in cancer development. He addresses these often overlooked factors and offers practical guidelines for cancer prevention. By the end of this conversation, you'll gain a fuller understanding of cancer's complexity, the importance of a comprehensive approach to treatment, and the undeniable truth - a healthy body is our best weapon in the fight against this disease. =============== Issels Immuno-Oncology 1980 Festival Plaza Drive Suite 300 Las Vegas, NV 89135 805-500-8943info@issels.comfacebook.com/IsselsTreatmenttwitter.com/isselsyoutube.com/isselstreatmentWebsite Chances are, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast if you didn't need to change your life and get healthier.
