Stay Off My Operating Table
Dr. Philip Ovadia
I was a morbidly obese heart surgeon.All through 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 fatter and fatter.Each day in surgery, 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.http://ovadiahearthealth.com/whitepaper/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 Dr. Philip Ovadia.

Dr. Kyrin Dunston Conquers Midlife Metabolic Mayhem - #101
Ever wonder why some women seem to handle the challenges of menopause and aging with grace, while others struggle with symptoms that often go untreated? Dr. Kyrin Dunston herself struggled with that. As a traditionally trained OBGYN, she transitioned to alternative medicine to conquer her personal health crisis. She then dared to question the approach to women's health, especially as it relates to hormonal imbalances and midlife metabolic mayhem.Dr. Kyrin discussed how symptoms like weight gain, memory problems, and autoimmune disorders are frequently misunderstood, midlife metabolic chaos is caused by hormonal imbalances, and the dire effects of not replacing hormones. She wants women to understand these effects and how hormone replacement therapy can change one’s quality of life. This proves that patient care can go beyond merely controlling symptoms. Dr. Kyrin Dunston, as an advocate of women's health, does exactly that.Quick Guide0:35 Exploring Alternative Approaches to Women's Health11:42 Midlife Metabolic Mayhem and Hormonal Imbalance28:05 Menopause, Hormonal Replacement, and Metabolic Health35:36 Hormonal Poverty44:19 Testing, Investing, and Your Health55:41 Challenges in Hormonal HealthcareGet to know our guestDr. Kyrin Dunston is a traditionally trained OBGYN with a fellowship training in anti-aging, metabolic, and functional medicine.

Jeffrey Feldberg: What are the KPIs for Health? - #93
Ever heard of a business owner providing valuable insight about the importance of health? Jeffrey Feldberg, the founder of Deep Wealth, started his business in his parents’ attic. He ultimately sold it for nine figures. But that's not why he's here.He learned to reverse engineer his failures to make better business decisions. When he experienced the death of his father, it left him devastated. He realized that if he didn’t take care of his own health, he wouldn’t be able to achieve the success he wanted in business. For him, the same way owners target KPIs or key performance indicators for their business, they should similarly develop specific KPIs for their health.Unfortunately, many business owners don’t pay enough attention to their health and that’s how Jeffrey wants to help his fellow entrepreneurs. In this episode, Jeffrey Fedlberg discusses the concept of reverse engineering failures, the importance of sleep and mindset, and how physical health is intertwined with the health of your business.
