In this episode Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. Philip Ovadia to break down what is really driving the number one killer in the world, and how to protect your heart starting today. What we get into: Why cholesterol is NOT the root cause of heart disease, and the 50 year myth that sent medicine down the wrong path. Cholesterol is the fireman at the scene, not the arsonist. The real root cause: insulin resistance and inflammation. And why about 93% of Americans already have some form of it, often hidden for 6 to 14 years. The truth about statins. Why their small benefit likely comes from lowering inflammation, and how they can actually worsen insulin resistance and raise your risk of type 2 diabetes. Meat is medicine. Why this heart surgeon calls red meat the most nutrient dense food on earth and essential for heart health. The under $20 blood test almost no doctor runs, the number you actually want to see, and the simple tests (fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, LP-IR) that reveal your real risk years before a heart attack. How Ben's 90 day carnivore labs showed total cholesterol over 450, yet a LOWER risk of heart disease, and why the full picture beats obsessing over one number. Dr. Ovadia's own story: a morbidly obese, pre diabetic heart surgeon headed for his own operating table, and the moment that changed everything. One line to remember: cholesterol is the fireman at the scene, not the arsonist. The fire is insulin resistance and inflammation.
