Stay Off My Operating Table
A Heart Surgeon’s Metabolic Health Guide to Lose Weight, Prevent Disease, and Feel Your Best Every Day
Dr. Philip Ovadia has performed thousands of open-heart surgeries, and he believes most of them could have been prevented. After losing more than 100 pounds himself, the board-certified heart surgeon realized that the root cause behind so many of his patients' heart problems was the same one he had faced: poor metabolic health. Stay Off My Operating Table is his bestselling guide to fixing it. In plain language, Dr. Ovadia explains where mainstream diets and medicine go wrong, and lays out a clear, practical system for taking back control of your health long before you ever need a surgeon.

Stay Off My Kitchen Table
A Heart Surgeon’s 4-Week Elimination Diet for Gut Repair, Metabolic Health, and Longevity
You cleaned up your diet and followed the plan, so why aren't you seeing results? In Stay Off My Kitchen Table, the New York Times bestselling follow-up to Stay Off My Operating Table, board-certified heart surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia and co-author Joshua Lisec reveal what most nutrition advice overlooks: it's not just what you eat, it's what your body absorbs. With a foreword by Bill Schindler, PhD, the book lays out a clear, step-by-step 4-week elimination diet that removes the hidden foods holding you back and fills your table with nourishing foods your body can truly use.
Gut Repair
Some foods quietly irritate your gut and block the nutrients you need, including "superfoods" that can backfire. The 4-week elimination diet removes these hidden triggers to calm inflammation, reset your digestion and reveal which foods really work for your body.
Metabolic Health
Healthy choices only pay off when your body can use them. Learn how to get more nutrition from fewer foods, keep your blood sugar steady, and clear out the foods that stall your progress and hold back your metabolism.
Longevity
The path to a longer, healthier life isn't about doing more. It's about doing less, the right way. Build simple, sustainable habits, track your progress along the way, and give your body what it needs to thrive as you age.
