Dr. Philip Ovadia is the featured guest of LowCarbMD Podcast Episode 133.
Dr. Ovadia is a cardiothoracic surgeon who has seen impressive results using a low-carb dietary intervention with his patients. Having personally struggled with obesity, Dr. Ovadia realized he had to make a change and needed an answer to his weight problem. That answer came in the form of the low-carb lifestyle which he discovered after attending a lecture by Gary Taubes. Dr. Ovadia has sustainably lost approximately 100 pounds through his adoption of the low carb lifestyle.
