EPISODE SUMMARY

In this enlightening episode of Stay Off My Operating Table, host Dr. Philip Ovadia welcomes Chef Oded Talmor, known as the Keto Chef, who shares his remarkable journey from professional basketball player to Wolfgang Puck-trained chef to ketogenic cooking expert.

After being diagnosed with Crohn's disease at age 23, Chef Talmor embarked on a decade-long journey to health through dietary changes, eventually discovering the benefits of a ketogenic diet. His experience led him to develop a new approach to cooking that emphasizes high-quality animal proteins and natural fats while eliminating processed oils and sugars.

The discussion covers crucial topics including the superiority of cooking with traditional fats like beef tallow, the importance of quality in meat selection, and how removing sugar from one's diet can enhance natural food flavors. Chef Talmor also addresses the misconception that ketogenic eating is expensive or complicated, sharing practical tips for making healthy cooking accessible and enjoyable.
