Summary

Episode 2303 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes back Dr. Philip Ovadia and they discuss the standard of care in medicine, heart disease, cholesterol, vitamins, and more. [libsyn_podcast id=26185845] PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS THE STANDARD OF CARE Vinnie welcomes Dr. Philip Ovadia back to the show for another visit and to chat a bit about Dr. Ovadia's reputation for not mincing words. (2:40) Vinnie asks Dr. Ovadia what exactly is meant in the medical industry by "the standard of care", and how he prefers to approach his medical practice. (5:40) Dr. Ovadia explains he only recommends a statin when it will benefit the patient. (10:55) LDL is not adequate information to determine whether a statin is needed. Cholesterol ratios of triglycerides/HDL are a more accurate indicator, as well as a CAC score. Vinnie recommends a CAC score, even if your insurance doesn't pay for it--it should only cost the equivalent of a few trips to a Starbucks®! Vinnie asks about CAC scores: can they be reversed or stabilized once they are high? (27:30) This leads to a discussion about healthy oil, seed oils, and various vitamins that can be beneficial. On the flip side, some ultra athletes have calcium buildup from extended stress on the heart--Dr. Ovadia elaborates. (39:00) Vinnie emphasizes that it is some ULTRA athletes, not all athletes, and it's no excuse to not exercise! They also discuss several vitamins that can benefit the heart. However, Dr. Ovadia says it's always better to avoid inflammation in the first place by eating the correct foods (like low-carb and no processed foods). It's harder to reverse any damage with vitamins if you are still eating inflammatory foods. You can find Dr. Philip Ovadia on and at his website, . His book, "Stay Off My Operation Table" can be found . PLUS... Vinnie reveals an NSNG® FOODS special Promo Code. (LISTEN FOR IT!)
