Stay off My Operating Table: A Heart Surgeon’s Metabolic Health Guide to Lose Weight, Prevent Disease, and Feel Your Best Every Day

Dr. Ovadia is living his advice, and to me that's the best advice to hear. I enjoy reading his book, it was simple and to the point. I would highly recommend you buy this book and read it. I am currently living the Carnivore Lifestyle.

I listen to a LOT of audio books on this subject (metabolic health, heart health, obesity, etc). I came to this book after meeting Dr. Ovadia at a Metabolic Health Conference, and hearing one of his talks. He also has a YT channel, and a podcast, so, when I downloaded the audio book, I was happy to hear him narrating it. That aside, this is one of the easier books to read on this subject. As a heart surgeon, Dr. Ovadia shares his story of how the medical diet advice failed even him, and what he had to do to regain his health. His perspective in helping his patients prevent the need for his surgical expertise is refreshing. Especially in a field that feels driven by profits. Here's a doctor who actually wants his patients to thrive, and would prefer that they don't need his services. Genuinely. To that end, the book is loaded with solid information, studies and practical actions that have helped so many others. It was not overly sciency or technical, but contained enough data to be truly useful and applicable to most modern people who have some form of metabolic dysfunction. Honestly, I read this book to see if it would be a good book fo rme to recommend to others who are just learning about how to regain their metabolic health, but I found answers that were useful to me along the way, as well as a very readable, and enjoyable book. Highly recommend both the written, and the audio book!

The information in the book makes perfect sense. I have cut down on the sugars and carb intake. Have moved to eating more meats, veggies and fruit. I feel better and am not as hungry.

My attention is usually non existent in books like this one, but this one kept ,y attention and was a easy read. Lots of eye opening moments

GOOD READ. GREAT PRODUCT.

Great book with valuable information.

Great book, easy read, highly recommend!

I needed this book. Due to multiple long-term health problems, I was convinced that medications alone were not what was best for me. I did a 60-day elimination diet of only beef, eggs, butter, salt, & water (no dairy, coffee, tea, seasonings, or plants of any kind). Even though I was mildly nauseous the 1st 30 days, wonderful things began happening & the pain I’d lived with for decades began to get better every day. After the 60 days, I began adding 1 new thing to my diet to see how my body reacted. I found that while I could tolerate small amounts of dairy & a few seasonings like dill, rosemary, thyme, cumin, and truffle salt, the pain would resurface if I ate any other plants, even seasonings (even a sprinkle of black pepper). I was just happy to feel full all the time, not have cravings, not be in pain anymore, & to not have to take any medications so I didn’t care how restrictive this diet was. However, I wanted to know why this was working for me. That’s when I found this book. Dr. Ovadia explains it perfectly. This gave me the insight I needed to understand the path to health I’m on. Also, he provides several resources for those who need additional help from medical professionals (the ones who actually understand the importance of metabolic health), he gives examples for how to implement the most important changes, he lists the markers that we should all consider when assessing our health, & there’s even an FAQ section at the end containing questions his patients have asked him over the years (I found this section particularly helpful). I’m glad I found what I was looking for in this book.

Short and easy to read, very informative without flooding you with medical terms and phrases you wont know. He makes it simple to understand and gives a very realistic approach to improving health. I managed to get my mother to read it after I did. The simplicity makes it easy to recommend to others to get points across.

Informação excelente, todos deviam ler por em prática.
