Heart Surgeon's Opinion of KETO Diet | Philip Ovadia, MD

A Cardiac Surgeon's thoughts on a KETO Diet and why you should think seriously about the foods you eat. Conducting over 3,000 heart surgeries taught Dr. Philip Ovadia that good
health comes from lifestyle and nutrition, not from surgery. He is now on a mission to
help people stay off his operating table by giving them the tools and mindset to
never need a heart surgeon.

My son has pulmonary hypertension diagnosed at 4 months. His doctors told us do not look up anything or try to research his condition yourselves. So my wife and I have read everything we can find about his condition, medications, and doctors and we have avoided a lung transplant that they told us was inevitable and gotten off of all but one medication and he’s turning 5 next week, is starting kindergarten, and lives a relatively normal, active, extremely happy life. Never listen to ANYONE who tells you to stop asking questions and avoid researching your condition. They’re trying to sell something that you probably don’t need.

I know this vid is older but I wanted to comment…After 7 years of being vegan, last week I decided to try keto. I’m using eggs and sardines. I don’t want to eat animals but I feel like my health has suffered. One problem I’m having is huge anxiety over heart problems. My grandpa died at 49 in his sleep after his third heart attack. After hearing all the vegan documentaries tell me if my cholesterol was at 150 I was almost guaranteed not to have a heart attack , I was sold on the low fat idea. Now, after learning more about keto and seeing results, I’m still worried but feel like I’m taking a leap of faith. This video has helped tremendously. Thank you ❤

My Dad was dying from Cancer and was in the hospital. He had been a type 2 Diabetic most of his life, he control his diabetes by watching his sugar intake and metformin. While he was in the hospital they had his blood sugar up to 500 due to the high crab diet they had him on. I ask to speak with the dietician about the food they were feeding him everyday. The Certified Dietician actually had the gall to tell me, that you body has to have sugar. I said really, well you've got my Dads blood sugar up to 500 because of the trash you are sending up to his room. I ask her do you not have meat and vegetables for him to eat. So they changed his diet that day, and his blood sugar started dropping.. With cancer the sugar you eat feeds the cancer cells. So they had his blood sugar up to 500, great job!!

@@markothwriter maybe you'll hate this then. I started keto over 5 years ago. Since then I've transitioned to lower carb with 20/4 fasting, and avoidance of omega-6 fats. I'm 42 yo male, 6'3" 225lb Here is a list of the benefits from this change. • resolved chronic pain. Zero pain meds, and no more opiates needed to take the edge off. Previously I was a constant 5-6, with flare ups I to the 8-9 range. It was so bad I couldn't focus or think clearly for work. • allergies are almost non-existent. So my eyes do burn a little still during peak allergy season, easily solved with eye drops. I used to be on allergy meds about 10-11 months out of the year. • I no longer have any significant asthma symptoms. I had a prescription for singulair, a leukotriene inhibitor, and a Ventolin inhaler. I no longer need either of these. (Took about 3 years on the diet, on of the latest to show benefits) • My sleep apnea has resolved. I still obstruct in the throat, but with my sinuses clear, this prevents me from full obstruction. No CPAP required. • The resolution of my sleep apnea, also fixed my minor ED symptoms, which I'd had since my teenage years. Zero issues now. • With appropriate sleep, my bipolar disorder has been resolved. I have been off meds for 15 years, But for the first 10 years off meds I had to monitor my mental state very closely. If I felt wrong, I would call off work and force myself to get more rest. Past 5 years I don't even need to think about it, and have zero issues. • my cognition is significantly improved, as long as I stick to my diet. More than a day or two of dietary deviation, I can tell a difference in my cognitive ability. • My arthritis is gone. I've had two knee surgeries and have nerve damage in my right leg. I also have bone on bone in some places from injuries. I have zero inflammation and zero pain, with no medications. There's probably more, but that's enough of a list.

A definite convert to a keto diet which is basically the diet I was brought up on in the 50's and 60's, based on bacon and eggs for breakfast and meat and three vegs for dinner. We never had soft drink or ice creams and chocolates were a rare treat, mainly at easter and Christmas. At my last visit to the doctor to get the good news above health improvements he make a telling observation. He said that when he started medicine in the 1970's the main problem he had with pregnant women was getting them to stop smoking. Now it is getting them to loose weight!

It also gave drug companies the green light to declare cholesterol a bad thing in the human body which it is not, and produce statins and other drugs which cause aching muscles, painful joints and misery to people until they die BUT, they make money!!!

@@joepesci6498 Even though mainstream MDs are taught little about nutrition in Med School they regard anything new as a fad for at least twenty years before they come round. Dr Esselsteyn, Dr Joel Fuhrman & others make up a group using a diet of high nutritional content one can't argue with and are very proud when someone's B/P lowers to 110/70 like a child's, but then German doctors disagree & they would want that B/P to be at least 130 on something because nutrients and oxygen have to be taken to the furthest crevices of the body and that takes power. There will never be just one diet good for everyone. Dr Berry is on the Carnivore diet, which is usually taken for issues no other diet addresses.

I appreciate that both of you use your brain and think! Too many people, Doctors included, swallow whatever information is fed to them without engaging their brain, without using critical thinking skills, and without being open minded enough to consider unpopular research. Not to mention the “approved” (they use the term “credible”) research that is often botched, not peer reviewed, and funded by those to stand to profit from certain results. If they don’t like the results, they toss out the research or ridicule it. Much appreciation to both of you!! Keep up the great work and keep these conversations going! Also thank you for proving that there are still doctors out these that have the best at heart- to help people be healthy. There are a few that just think of their own career at the expense of people’s health, and a lot of people have a bad attitude toward doctors because of the few.

The keto diet is indeed great for body fat loss. I lost 22 kg in 8 months about 5 years ago, coming from 100 kg at 182 cm. I kept my ideal weight ever since, I still avoid sugars and junk food, I quit smoking 15 years ago, my insulin levels are healthy, I still do intermittent fasting and I exercise regularly. YET, I suffered a heart attack last month. The cardiologists are still investigating my case but the determining factor for my CVA was most likely stress. I took it as a warning and I'd like to pass it on to the readers. A healthy diet is important and relevant for good heart health plus exercise but don't completely rest on it assuming you're 100% safe. I have the hypothesis that stress is the leading trigger of cardiovascular problems. The fear of underperforming in your job, the fear of competing peers who might leave you in the dust, the fear of losing your job, the fear of social decline, the burden of having to live from paycheck to paycheck etc. All this creates a massive amount of stress and eventually CV disease. People get sick because there is a systemic disorder.

[@novastorm]

Yup, diet is not a magic bullet. Stuff still happens. But if anything, exercise! It's so important for mental stability and lowering stress, keep moving, lift weights, do cardio, etc. And after all that, we're still humans, but at least you've done your best. Good luck.

It doesn’t put weight back on and Friday night used to be pizza night so I get that fix. I just make a committed 7-8 month goal and watch every week or month if I’m on track.

Gym 4 times a week including 2 bootcamps. Have 128/75 bp. Resting heart rate of 50bpm. And a doctor looks at my total cholesterol and wants me on statins and to visit a dietician!!!

Thankfully I have a female Muslim doc that doesn’t force statins on me. She did give me 10mg of Atorvastatin at one point and it brought my cholesterol down to normal range but I was getting joint pains, so I wanted off them . She didn’t have a problem with that .

He's currently on his longest stretch without a seizure since March and I've lost 20lbs as a pleasant side effect (I'm doing Keto with him as I didn't want him to have to eat so restricted all by himself). So it's been great for my 16 year old son, and for me as a former professional athlete who's creeping far too close to 50 who isn't as lean as he used to be.

A few weeks later she developed a problem with her one eye, her vision started fading and she could not see a full view like her eye was only half-open which it wasn't. Just prior to this she had a complete eye exam and everything was fine. She went back to the eye doctor and he said she would never regain normal vision. We asked what could have caused it and he did not know, he said it was like something traumatic had happened. After a couple of days of thinking it through it dawned on us that this condition started shortly after starting the statin drug. She asked her doctor and was told there was no causal effect from the statin. We looked it up on the internet and there were tons of stories just like my wife's regarding statins causing vision problems especially in women. She immediately stopped taking the statin drug and eventually her vision went back to normal. Virtually no doctors that my wife and I have ever gone to factor in diet. It's all about drugs. From all these testimonials, it sounds like Keto is the way to go. Happy for you, your blood pressure is fantastic!

@@mnight207 : You need to take your phone with you when you shop. Ask “is X keto-friendly?” before you buy. Drink water and tea, green tea is healthy. Eat lots of meat: bacon, pork, hamburger, chicken, fish, etc. should be the main course. Use butter, no vegetable oils or sprays. Watermelon, raspberries are my fav fruits. No bread, potatoes, or desserts. Pickles, mushrooms, any little things that add variety. Cheeses like cheddar, Brie, Camembert, etc. You will be amazed at how easy and good it is to eat for only one hour per day. OMAD, one-meal-a-day, and either 18-6 or 23-1 for your eating window.

Dr Gundry is also a cardiologist surgeon who wrote many books on what Dr O. Is saying here. The book is called, The Plant Paradox, and saved my life of obesity, poor eating, eating the foods that were ‘suppose’ to get me healthy and off of all meds. If I could make changes at my age (71 now, started three years ago), generally speaking all people can. Years ago I had tried following the Protein Power plan but it was all about eating meat and very few veggies. I lost lots of weight on it but couldn’t keep it off. It just wasn’t the eating plan for me for a lifetime. But Dr Gundry’s plan is perfect for me. It’s been three years now and going strong, feeling fantastic, eating healthy foods I enjoy, and off ALL meds, including an anti-depressant. I find it just criminal that doctors aren’t being taught about current ways to keep their patients healthy and living long lives. The old pyramid isn’t the way to be healthy anymore and doctors who won’t stay informed and aren’t honest with their patients have no right to practise. Like everything in life, things change and doctors have got to stay tuned to changes and pass them on to their patients.

I am where you are at. Recently went to doctor`s office, A1C was 10.3. And I went to her office 3 years ago in 2018 and it was notated in my file that it was 8. In 2018 I was prescribed 2000 mg Metformin as well but I completely ignored taking it regularly. I ignored that I am Type 2. My blood sugar was regularly 400-500 - but I kept ignoring all. Fast forward to today, I can`t drive more than 60 miles an hour. It`s like I am in slow motion. I keep forgetting things. Hard to concentrate and hold a job. Like 10 days ago, I cut carbs and started taking Metformin regularly. Bread and sweets were the hardest part. But I replaced with flaxseed bread and occasional keto sweets that I buy. The point is, though, I am not counting calories. I have cut carbs (my daily food is, cucumber, tomato cheese for mornings, and meat + flaxseed, roasted almonds and salad. No fruits, no sugar, no bread, no carbs in general) The thing is, did you count calories? What if I am consuming lets says 4000 calories of fat + protein and very little carbs. Can I still lose weight? My pants are slightly falling down now. But I don`t know...I just want to feel normal again...
