Hello, IFixHearts,

About a year ago, I worked with Krisna and Dr. Ovadia to tune my diet and eating habits so I could break through a plateau in my weight loss. The program they helped create—along with Krisna’s ongoing support—was very successful. I lost over 45 pounds. My wife also lost 25 pounds.

But even more important, my blood chemistry has significantly improved. For example, I am now blood pattern A instead of B.

The real story, though, is this: for almost four years, I had been in persistent AFib, even after two ablations and several cardioversions. This past August, I convinced my cardiologist to try one more cardioversion to see whether all the weight loss might make a difference. He agreed to do it as an experiment.

To his surprise, it worked—and I returned to normal heart rhythm.

Four months later, I’m still in normal rhythm.

Thanks, Team Ovadia, for all the support and health.

Dr. O- I had a consult with you a couple years ago.

Back then, HDL was in the 40s, triglycerides were pretty close to 200.

Blood panel a couple days ago, my HDL is 65, Triglycerides 70.

Just wanted to say thank you for putting me on the road to good CV health.

I intend to stay off your operating table!

"When I began this Carnivore Diet on May 15th, 2023 I weighed in at 221 and on several Blood Pressure Meds and Cholesterol Lowering drugs.
Below are three photos of me one in April 2022 weighing in at around 220. Then July 17th, weighing in at 202 (two months after starting Carnivore) and today, Sept 19th weighed in at 194 and waist at 37. 
Off all meds since June 12th except Nexium and Low Dose Aspirin.
I've also attached the responses from my local Cardiologist and how he felt about my Carnivore Diet. He didn't mention anything about my losing weight nor the blood pressure readings off meds."

I found it helpful.
It's like having a tribe where people "get" you.
I've gained a better understanding about cholesterol.
Feeling more confident about talking to my primary care doctor.

Stay Off My Operating Table® is a very well-written and easy to understand book that clearly explains what metabolic health is, along with presenting the keys to improving your overall health and preventing some of the major diseases like heart diseases that plague so many people. But perhaps what I like best is that the author Dr. Philip Ovadia is a practicing heart surgeon doing life-saving surgeries in major hospitals. He has seen firsthand the devastating results of poor metabolic health, and has developed a clear system for how you can improve it. That's a high level of credibility in my book.

In addition, Dr. Ovadia's writing style is very accessible and very relatable, and he lists references that back up his recommendations. I like that he comes across as a very knowledgeable yet humble and overall good guy. Yes, you have to eat right and exercise, but the program he outlines is very flexible and adaptable, and can fit many different types of lifestyle and dietary preferences, from carnivore to vegan.

I have read many books on health including heart health, and I have to say that this one is the best I've ever read.
I highly recommend it.

Thank you Dr. Ovadia

I came to Dr Ovadia's book with some knowledge, having read Taubes, Teicholz, Bikman, Berry, Westman, etc. His personal story is of significant interest, as I have family members in a similar boat. His before/after picture (Twitter) is especially compelling.

In this book, he walks the line beautifully between explaining how the human body works without so much biochem that you need an advanced degree to comprehend. He provides open and honest tactical guidance - because he has walked in these shoes.

His experience on both sides (doctor and patient) affords him a unique perspective. He presents what he has learned from both roles...which admittedly, could feel overwhelming and hopeless from anyone else.... into straightforward, inspiring and, importantly, feasible steps for ANYONE, no matter their current level of metabolic health.

In fact, my 78 year old Dad, who is in severe metabollic distress and understands very little about why, found the book so easy to read (aka digestible..pun intended) and compelling that he took it home with him. With any luck, it may just be the start of a new journey!

Great book to begin learning, and I am very grateful for Dr Ovadia, his story, and his continued work!

As we have followed government health guidelines, and eat more and more processed foods, our health and quality of life has plummeted. It's not rocket science, yet so many people let their health take a backseat until it's too late.

Dr. Ovadia distills the science and data into what could be the most important health book you can read. You can take control of your health.

Stop acting like you don't have time to make it a priority. People waste hours on television, and take better care of their homes or cars, but ignore their bodies? Never has the health of people, especially in America, been worse.

This should be a wake-up call that we are doing many things wrong, but we can changes right now. This short book is an investment you cannot afford to not make.
