In this episode of Sizzle the Salty Steak Show, Don Beebe sits down with board-certified cardiac surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia at Meat Stock in Gatlinburg to discuss the connection between metabolic health, inflammation, and heart disease.
Dr. Ovadia opens up about his personal transformation from being a morbidly obese pre-diabetic heart surgeon to becoming a leading advocate for low-carb and carnivore nutrition. Together, Don and Dr. Ovadia challenge conventional nutrition advice and discuss why traditional recommendations around cholesterol, low-fat diets, and red meat may be contributing to chronic disease instead of preventing it.
Don also shares his own health journey, including struggles with gout, arthritis, diverticulitis, and heart concerns that dramatically improved after adopting a carnivore lifestyle.
This episode dives deep into heart disease prevention, inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, athletic nutrition, and why results matter more than outdated medical dogma.
