Dr. Philip Ovadia is a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon and founder of Ovadia Heart Health. After performing thousands of open-heart surgeries, Dr. Ovadia recognized that the vast majority were preventable through metabolic health. His personal transformation — losing over 100 lbs through dietary change — deepened his commitment to keeping patients off the operating table.

He is the author of the multi-award-winning and Amazon best seller Stay Off My Operating Table: A Heart Surgeon’s Metabolic Health Guide to Lose Weight, Prevent Disease, and Feel Your Best Every Day, and the New York Times bestseller Stay Off My Kitchen Table: A Heart Surgeon’s 4-Week Elimination Diet for Gut Repair, Metabolic Health and Longevity. Dr. Ovadia is licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
