With heart disease as the #1 killer worldwide, and 88% of adults being metabolically unhealthy (leading cause of heart disease), this is serious!

Rather than taking a “quick fix” advise-and-go approach, Dr. Ovadia puts the knowledge and tools in our hands to do better in the long term.

As a heart surgeon himself, his motto here is:

❝What foods to put on your table so you don’t end up on mine❞

There’s a lot more to this book than the simple “eat the Mediterranean diet”:

  • While the Mediterranean diet is generally considered the top choice for heart health, he also advises on how to eat healthily on all manner of diets… Carnivore, Keto, Paleo, Atkins, Gluten-Free, Vegan, you-name-it.
  • A lot of the book is given to clearing up common misconceptions, things that sounded plausible but are just plain dangerous. This information alone is worth the price of the book, we think.
  • There’s also a section given over to explaining the markers of metabolic health, so you can monitor yourself effectively
  • Rather than one-size-fits-all, he also talks about common health conditions and medications that may change what you need to be doing
  • He also offers advice about navigating the health system to get what you need—including dealing with unhelpful doctors!

Bottom line: A very comprehensive (yet readable!) manual of heart health.
