Hi Steven and team, Wanted to suggest something to you. Every time I listen to the podcast, I have plenty of questions that pop into my mind that I think would be pertinent to the conversation, but have no means to convey them and get an answer from your guests. My suggestion would be that you make your podcast a live stream show, with a possibility for the audience to have a Q&A at the end with the guest. 😊 I understand that due to Steven's and the guests' busy schedules, that could not be possible all the time, but maybe once a month? There you have it, food for thought!😊 Thanks, Ana
@@prperfectionistable I don't see Steven's question as harping on the death of the patient. The question came when they were already discussing the overall experience of having to announce the death of a loved one to the respective families. It was Dr. Ovadia who replied what he said on that particular case, which is why Steven then followed up with the question "Do you carry the weight of having that conversation over and over?" His question was global to all the death announcement conversation, not the one in particular. Clearly, this patient, in particular, scars Dr. Ovadia for life. He even mentioned her case in the 1st chapter of his book. 😢
@@prperfectionistable I don't think it was done for sensationalism, but rather to shock people into hearing this info with their whole being. The consequence of failing to do that is REAL and quite bad, so detail from that conversation helped bring it into reality in a way that glossing over it could not do. A lot of information sources use sensationalism in a negative way... that is not the case here at all.
Great observation. The mind and body are one. I notice a different kind of happy from aerobic, strength, and flexibility exercises. For me, the feeling from flexibility is by far the best. I also notice an additional benefit from socializing while exercising. It gives me joy to be around positive people trying to improve their lives.
You are right, exercise has more benefits to your brain than your body, especially for the production of BDNF to make new brain cells. The best way to stimulate brain is body movement.
Not to mention cardio is an excellent way to lose weight, which is good for your heart obviously too. I lost 40 pounds running and eating properly. Starting the video by saying sugar is MORE addictive than heroin is crazy. I shut out sugar from my life fairly easily, don't think I could say the same if I had done heroin lol
I'm 77 and I noticed my muscle mass on my arms disappearing slowly but surely. I started lifting weights after 28 years of absence and Noticed quite a difference in just 10 days. My plan is to lift Mon. Wed Fri. Arms, back and squats for my legs and knee strengthening. Wish me luck!🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍
As a practicing physician, I would say that your guest is spot on about everything we are seeing in society when it comes to health and how sugar and processed foods are the problem. Until we start saying no with our wallets to the food industry, this will continue. The only issue I would like to raise is that many doctors I feel have tried to have these conversations with patients but many patients do not want to hear it. And in today’s sensitivity level in society, some patients get very angry that their doctor would dare talk about their weight and what they can do about it. It is a very taxing conversation to have if one chooses to have it no matter what with the patient. I contribute my burnout to this passion I bring to patient care. That is why after 15 years I stepped away from my clinical practice as a senior partner. Everyone wants to blame the doctor, and many are to blame, but the role the patient plays in all of this needs more discussion as well.
I'm sorry you had this experience with patients. I view my health as my responsibility. I've had doctors thank me after a visit for taking this approach. Of course, it makes me feel good, but also alarms me. I shouldn't be unusual. Best of luck to you in whatever direction you take in life.
I think one of the problems is that many doctors in the past engage in fat shaming and the obese persons feel like second rate citizens. They feel overwhelmed with a long list of shoulds.Obesity is a complex endocrine disease. Food choice, activity level, many hormones, gut dysbiosis, genetics, obesogens in our environment, economics, early childhood trauma, disturbed circadian rhythms, and additive nature of processed foods are contributors. Food manufacturers too. Asking the patient to choose 2 specific goals to focus on for a month helps. But when doctors act like obesity is only a choice problem that shows the patient the MD doesn't understand. It is how the physician approaches the patient and implements one or two practical changes every couple of weeks that help.
One key is to start with the positives before the negatives. IE add more fiber, eat 7 servings of watery veggies and whole fruits a day. That will build up more confidence in the patients so they will have courage to remove the negatives.
I believe that a good physician should not only address what he/she deems to be the most important issue(s) to be addressed by the patient, but also the two top issues that the patient feels the doctor should help them address. It's the, "you listen to me and I will listen to you" compromise.
A good balance of weights, cardio and mobility alongside clean eating is the best way to stay healthy for a very long time. I love resistance training, runs or cycling and yoga. I’m almost 50 years old and have visible abs and the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life.
I'm an experienced weightlifter and I've never felt so alive and full of energy after I started training for a local 10km running race only 2 months ago. I actually wake up with energy and keep my energy levels high all day. This is something that I have HAVEN'T experienced from weightlifting. So while it might not be a huge factor for weight loss it's extremely important for overall wellbeing.
extreme running like this INCREASES your chance for a heart attack. look at all the career runners and marathoners. they are much worse off taxing the heart like that. its been proven people that live the longest live mostly sedentary lifestyles. the fitness industry is BS.
@@danielberg8437 a 10k pushing yourself is too much stress on your heart. Sorry. But can you get away with it for years? Just like smoking...probably yes.
My trouble with IF is I lose weight. Im underweight. Thats why my doctor advise, balance diet, exercise. So one lifestyle does not fit all. I have to continously observe my own body metabolism with my activities and diet.
@Bonifacio Bonifacia where did anyone say one size fits all? They obviously said what works for THEM. They're not telling you, me or anyone else what to do. If you're underweight when you lose weight, you're either already at a healthy weight or you're losing too much weight. Every point does not need a counterpoint just for the sake of being contrary
I tend to prefer weightlifting, but recently I started forcing myself to do 30min of cardio every other day as an experiment to see I felt different. It was hell at the beginning and the side stitches alone killed me. But now, I *almost* enjoy it and more importantly, I feel amazing, I feel more agile, focussed and energized all day than ever (and its not like I felt bad before, so I already came from a pretty good place). Will surely keep it up...
Steady state cardio is my daily meditation. There is a night and day difference in the person I am everyday if I get my cardio in or not. Energy, discipline, cognition, and my overall presence is just better
weightlifting can also be done in a cardio exercise form.. what you do is set up a circuit and you essentially sprint with your reps for a specific period of time then move to the next exercise and get as many reps as you can within the set time.. it could be 30 seconds per routine. You set the weight amount to something that is is at maybe about 60-80% of the max you can lift. but you may adjust it lower. you want your last few reps to start to feel harder.. you can vary this by doing a second set through your circuit. Use the machines as opposed to free weights for safety reasons, IMHO. I did this when training. You can also do a kind of running which is called burpees.. which is when you are at a casual jog intermittent with short bursts at maximum speed sprint for about 10-30 seconds and then about 3 minutes (you can adjust it more or less) at a casual jog speed .. maybe about 3-5 miles per hour.. you can even do that at a walking pace. You will get your heart rate up to near capacity for short periods of time during the sprint.
yet how this video is being marketed is completely different, these videos are becoming utter click bait... saying cardio is a waste of time is polarising on purpose and not a useful statement to put out in the world... do better guys
I'm considered petite at 5'1" and 105lbs ... I used to run 5 miles every night, six days a week and still couldn't lose the last 10 lbs after birthing my 6th child. Once I started lifting weights my body changed completely. You can lift weights in an aerobic state - just lift lighter for shorter reps .... or vise versa in PR bursts.
The weight melts right off me when I do fasted cardio. Yes, I can lose weight through diet alone, but I lose it twice as fast if I add cardio as well. I've always been a fan of cardio for weight loss, and this guy isn't going to change my opinion. I know from personal experience that it works and works well.
Agreed 💯. I definitely stay lean with cardio, and resistance training. I've lowered my blood pressure, and A1C significantly when I added cardio - and I'm 60.
I was 215 lbs i am 76 years old pre type 2 diabetes I followed the weight watchers eating for life plan and started walking 20 k steps a day on days I couldn’t get out I did low aerobic cardio indoor exercises over the year my weigh went down to 138 lbs and by continuing my outdoor walks and indoor cardio I feel in the best physical and mentally I have ever felt in my life so one plan doesn’t suit all it’s finding what works for you ,I am no longer in danger of being diabetic I’m also asthmatic take my prevention inhaler morning and night my blue one is practically not needed ,my blood pressure is now normal as is my cholesterol so I’m afraid I won’t be giving up my cardio , wishing you all the best on whatever path you take ❤️
Great story about your experience.. I'm 71 I used to run 🏃 now I walk 3 times a week depending on the weather. I love to sweat I weight at one time 247 now 195 bls 5”10 feel great eat one meal a day keep up the good work.
I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic the first week this year. It was a wake up call. I’ve pretty much been following a diet exactly how he describes and I’m weight training (lifting heavy) 3x times a week. A lot more walking to. Lost an inch a week off my waist so far. So 6 inches lost n. Weeks. Feeling much better already. Aiming to reverse my diagnosis.
@@sabkaBaap007managed to completely reversed it. Not even pre-diabetic. Count on March 19th was 37 (when first diagnosed it was 72). Also halved cholesterol to 2.4. Kept it going and so far this year lost 10inches off my waist line and 30kgs. Blood pressure is now normal as well. Not on any meds.
That's brilliant - a doctor whose goal is to keep people away from doctors. I wish there were more such health specialists, those who care about people's health more than making money for pharmacies.
Some of his arguments are very flawed. For example claiming heart disease was unheard of 120 years ago - well yeah, that's because medical science has advanced massively since then - people live a lot longer - the average life expectancy in the USA in 1900 was less than 50! Heart surgery barely even existed back then. Rosy retrospection is unfortunately rife in the health and weight-loss industries - but it's mostly bullshit - people still had the same problems back then - they just didn't have the medical science to keep them living for another 30 or 40 years we have today.
I run only because I'm addicted to it... if I don't run my depression runs me! Side note: this man needs to be protected... we need more real doctors like him❤
I love to run as well. once i started running 5 km 4-5 times a week i started losing weight. Can i argue that while i'm running I'm NOT Eating? is that a factor?
As the saying goes " Prevention is better than cure " I suffer from epilepsy, cerebral palsy and now diagnosed with Gastroparesis a paralyzed stomach and on liquid drinks for nutrition and little food in-between as I vomit all the time with food, and in constant stomach pain which weakens cerebral palsy, watching your podcasts has inspired me to find a cure for myself , microbiome, stem cells, glucose levels I have all learned from your interviews. I have even started writing a book about challenging this disease .... Thank you Steven you have no idea how you inspire people. They say there is no cure I don't believe that I try to stay very optimistic I will find something that works for me.
My daughter is morbidly obese. She never exercises but moves a lot because she has 3 young children. I have talked to her about her state of health. It goes in one ear and out the other. She lives in denial. Hard to break through that fog of wishful thinking.
This is so sad. My nieces are north of 200 lbs (and by that, I mean way North). They're in their 30s but I told them theirs may be the generation in our family where the parents might need to provide care for their offsprings in old age if they continued on this course. They love blowing paychecks on eating out at places recommended on Instagram.
I am turning 50 this year and just assumed that the aches and pains of middle age were catching up with me in the past few years. A recent annual check up found that I had 4/5 of the metabolic risks. The latest one was pre diabetes which spurred me towards change. I have spent the past 2 months following an intermittent fasting/whole foods focussing on meat, dairy and veggies. (eliminating all sugar, honey, processed food with a barcode and white carbs) This has reduced 90% of my inflammation and aches. I feel stronger, more alert and as good as i did when I was in my 20's. Dr Ovadia. You are right. I don't want to go back to feeling how I used to feel. Achy, Tired, Headache, brain fog and always hungry with bouts of low mood and high anxiety.
I've gone LOW-ER carbs myself, but I find it strange how a simple BLOOD GLUCOSE MODITOR can be so expensive and requires a doctor's prescription. These should be sold to EVERYONE at the local Drug store or Walmart!!
I have been a nurse in the USA for 39 years and I have to say that this doctor is exceptional! He truly does “GET IT” and I will be recommending his book to every lay person that I know.
Cardio (running) saved my life: it helped me stop smoking, care about what I'm eating, become mentally stronger, more focused at work, I have more energy during the day and I lost a lot of weight. All sports are beneficial for health, some more, some less, but it's definitely not everything about losing weight, that's just one of the positive side effects.
Its always great to find something that works for you which achieves a personal benefit, mental and physical heath are very different things per se but at the same time correlated. there's is too much focus on cardio in later life in terms of advice especially because the equation changes - lifting and moving weight(mass) becomes so much more important for bone heath and general well being it also takes less time out of your day
Great replacement and congrats on the focus BUT cardio will not reverse metabolic issues resulting from a poor diet. That was the point of the discussion
@@dennispickard7743 To stop moving may be enough to create a bad diet. Take K rations 2800 kcal, way too much for me, not enough for their intended users.
Yes it does work but I think the main thing is long term over time will actual obese people have the will power to maintain that ? Have you changed up since and what have been your results?
@@crand20033 You are correct, sir. But it came naturally. Unhealthy, processed foods have become much LESS palatable. I am more sensitive to being full and stopping in time. Haven't had fast food in over 6 months. I feel something's wrong if I can't have a daily salad. Overall, I can hardly eat out any more - quality of ingredients are so lacking in most places, I just can't bring myself to eating them. Just >LOVE< real, whole foods, that I can buy and cook/grill myself. And I don't even need a lot - the satiety of real foods is so much higher than processed foods.
Former binge eater here. Most of my workouts to lose weight were cardio with a little weight training. Eating healthy and working out (cardio) helped me lose weight/fat. It also improved my cardiovascular health as I got into cycling and I kept beating record after record and my entire breathing pattern changed from the time I was obese to healthy. I used to struggle to get enough oxygen until I did more cardio. Cardio isn’t useless or unnecessary. It can help you lose weight and it’s good for your heart and respiratory system.
Dr. Ovadia is not only your mission. It was Dr. Sarah Hallberg and many more from the You tuber that turned their health around to the drs like you. Is something we are all have to be working together.
Doing cardio is important in your respiratory system .. Im obese 3 years ago and walking 3 blocks away makes my breathing hard & now walking 10k steps feels like nothing .. Cardio is important when your starting your journey to lose weight
So true…just got done with my morning walk….32,098 steps…just about 14 miles. But I’m not even tired. Keep up with your journey and enjoy every moment 😊
I started walking a dog in February. 6 days a week, Sundays off for the dog's recovery. I'm down about 4 stone. This guy is just using stupid lines for clicks and a real, serious doctor would never do that.
I found that doing a couch to 5K program made a huge impact on my core strength. My core strength, including lower back, hips, and abs all got a lot more stable. I was shocked at how weak these muscles were.
@@LauraB.335 You don't do cardio to lose fat. You do cardio for stamina and endurance. Case in point, I was once 223 lbs and down to 156 lbs doing only IF in 2018(currently I'm 170-175 lbs because I eat a lot of biscuits and crackers) but remembered once that I tried jogging with my very fit cousin whose used to a lot of jogging and you know what happened(even when I was 156 lbs of weight, stil at that point) I couldn't even jog for 5 minutes straight while the guy was jogging for 45 minutes straight. You'd see the difference if your goal is to only lose weight and then apply yourself to those who actually do cardio.
It’s very inspiring to hear a medical doctor admit that he doesn’t have the answers and that he might not be able to find it. Thanks, Doc, I appreciate your humility and openness.
Cleary because the headline has been proven wrong with mountains of scientific literature and decades of millions of examples of anecdotal evidence. This is just a straight up lie.
@@superzgal agreed, he looks like shit, but that is not a valid argument against his position. The irony there though is that what he claims is also crap, so all in all this interview just highlights the problems when "experts" aren't challenged. But then again when a man writes a whole book on an appeal to history fallacy, then you know what you're gonna get.
@@superzgalMy mistake I took your comment: "Does he look healthy to you? Even his posture is off" to be in a context of the validity behind his claims. So you just wanted to point out that he looked unhealthy without it being relevant to anything?
Cardio is not just about weight loss. It paves the way to fitness and better all around health including mental health. Anyway, I know people who do nothing other than cardio and have lost tens of kilos. I don't know about the theory but in practice cardio does help with weight loss even if indirectly. Have you seen an overweight long distance runner?
I am 63 years young 😊 3 years ago at 264 lbs I had my 2nd heart attack. My bp was 245/145. My TSH was over 8.0. Stopping sugar, processed foods, seed oils and gradually moving more I've rid my body of 80+ lbs. I eat a Ketogenic diet and feel and look better than I have in years! People like you and Dr. KEN BERRY AND DR ROB CYWES HAVE SAVED MY LIFE. THANK YOU ❤❤❤
Hi Barbara I hope you are doing well I'm happy that you have realized that ur going to get in shape..I'm somebody your somebody too.! I can advise u a bit..I've tried to help a depressed friend and she's been a hard person to help..now I refuse to help her anymore..a friend is so important. I used to seek out friends. I'd get on my bicycle and go visit my school chumps and look forward to seeing them...then I kinda changed..but I'm trying to stay a friendly person..can u understand what I'm saying..I wanna stay healthier
I'm so glad your know about dr ken berry too...I'm being pulled over to plant's but after dr ken I can't believe ur doing it...I lost weight and my a1c got tob5.7 from 6.6. Then I stopped and a1c back up to 6.5..I know some people have 10 14 wow
I love Dr. Ovadia's book. I read it about a year ago. I changed my diet to whole foods, increased my activity, stopped going for workouts and took up long distance walking instead. I have increased my sleep from 4 hours a night to 7. This isn't optimum but it is much improved. I am 54 and feeling better than I did 5 years ago. I went back to when I felt healthy and it was when I was long-distance walking so it seemed clear to me my body wants to walk. We had stopped after I suffered several broken bones. But now we are training and doing it again. We try to eat 20-30 different varieties of food that come directly from the earth (with the least amount of physical changes) and an increase in protein. Yes, we still eat carbs but we focus on carbs from some thing that looks like a plant. When we do eat grain carbs, I make them. I make pasta, bread, everything myself. We do fast occasionally. I have an app on my phone for that and I like it. I like the feeling. I have lost over 15 kgs so far and on target to lose 20 more. We are planning to do the 7 wonders of the natural world and that includes hiking the Grand Canyon, Mt Everest, and swimming the GB Reef.

As a recent heart patient myself, its very comforting to hear him talk about the patient as a whole with their overall health, and not just his part with the surgery. I'm currently making several lifestyle changes, and thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.
As an exercise and sports physiologist I would like to add some points, that Cardio exercises are not just for weight lose, or brain health or any particular systems of your body but for the wholesome development of your whole body system, because your health primarily depends (specially metabolic health) on the level of oxygen and nutrients your body cells get, and unfortunately that is hugely depends on your Cardiovascular and Cardio respiratory system, to transport the oxygen and other essential nutrients from one end to the other end. And people these days, because of certain misconceptions thinks that cardio is unnecessary if you are onto a body building I.e., strengthening your skeletal muscles, but we must understand that our heart is also made up of muscles (cardiac Mayocyt) and it too needs to get strengthen parallelly to you skeletal muscles. See, eg, you use someone so vigorously to build your house at free but you can't even provide a sufficient and good food to that person, just imagine the results.. And this is the major reason that most of the professional body builders die because of cardiac arrest, hypertension, stroke or CAD diseases. So, if you are looking for the benefits of cardio for just one factor like weight loss, than may be not very effective but for your heart health specially and overall development, Cardio is best tool.
I thought the professional body builders were having heart issues due the use of muscle growth assisting steroids and hormones. But either way, my observation is that any truly extreme behavior is likely to be detrimental to health over time. When I see super thin endurance athletes or super muscled body builders, I don't see optimal health behaviors. I think most of us should be shooting for something in the middle (and not on your middle).
Right, is recommended 20m of cardio daily, at medium hearth rate, its increase power of hearth and breathing, and make the entire body work better at celular level
Turning 50 next month. Began intermittent fasting and cut out sugar/processed foods in August of 2021. Have done very little cardio, down to a 32 inch waist from 38 inches...This absolutely works.
Sugar and processed foods accelerates aging. Also it breaks down muscles in the body prematurely due to glaciation. Movement is still important, like keeping a healthy lifestyle of social life and movement like work etc and not sitting.
@WarrantChen Completely agree. My social life includes my wife, children, and farm animals (hard to trust anyone/anything else). Never had Fakebook or anything similar. Walk my property with my dogs frequently. Just living a very simple life, many would consider boring. No mortgage, no car payment, no credit cards...Content, Grateful, and truly Blessed!
@shez8840 Hasn't always been this way... We decided to leave California in 2018 (wife and I were making good money). Moved to Alabama, didn't know anyone. A few years ago we started a small business, and the entire family works for it. Never thought this would be my life.. but I get to see my family every day. It wasn't easy, but it's a nice, quiet life.
Could you share more details about your diet? Did you fast for 12 hours or for 24 hours once a week? Can you give examples of what type of sugary and processed foods you cut out?
We eat three meals a day. Our metabolism is still set from 2,000 years ago to process 2 meals a day and one is small, very small. We are supposed to move all day doing daily work: cleaning, washing, providing; being active all the time. We start the day with a huge heavy meal, then struggle to move, then eat a huge lunch and can't move. Then for dinner it's a celebration. We're actually eating ourselves to death.
He is spot on. I take an hour long popular cardio class 3x a week. Everyone in the class sweats. Probably 1/2 the class is overweight after attending the class consistently. It's what you eat. I have since added weight training and the positive results were immediate.
I don’t care if he is the best heart surgeon on the planet! To say that cardio is a waste of time for weight loss is total BS. I’ve literally lost weight through consistently doing cardio and gained weight when I stopped doing cardio for long periods of time!
I had a full-blown stroke in 2010 it was a wake-up call. I was in my late fifties. The doctors said I may not be able to do the physical work that I was doing anymore so I decided to walk everyday. 3 months time I was back at work. I was able to continue my physically hard job I had.
As a Cardiovascular Intensive Care Nurse for 35 years and have worked with many Cardiovascular surgeons, this doctor is very refreshing!!! I have weight trained for over 44 years, muscle is very expensive real estate.
@@OfoeNelson She means: You must monitor your diet , keep a workout regiment and be disciplined to be consistent . IE: you pay the price with hard work and dedication to get the results you desire!!!
I am so glad that I sat here to listen to this podcast. a 60 yr old woman on blood pressure drugs and cholesterol medication. I have been learning alot these days
Dr Philip … what a genuine, honest, open to sharing person. All the very best to you in your life’s mission of helping people and good health and wellness to you personally
Thumbnail: "Cardio is a waste of time!" 51:30: "Doesn't mean that cardio doesn't have benefits. I'm not telling people to stop doing cardio." I like your podcast, but I'm not feeling the clickbaity titles.
Insightful interview. On point. Honest. I am a 53 year old man, I have been an athlete most of my life but I have also had down years. What has helped me the most is exercising, eating twice a day and choosing the foods I eat very carefully. It is possible to be healthier, 99% of the battle is in the mind. And Don’t drink too much alcohol and take sugar out of your diet. I do drink occasionally but if you can avoid alcohol all together then probably best and please drink you coffee black, No Sugar. Live strong! You are worth it. May God bless you even More!
@@SanPedroPlumber81 Oat milk isn't good. Check if it has fillers like carcenagenum (or however you spell). Cancer causing stuff. Some are just a few ingredients but not at your typical grocer.

I love how they converse in such respectful way that even when one is done talking, they still give each other some time to make sure that the other person is done with his sentence before they talk or move the conversation on. Too many people are so focused on their responses and statements that they end up interrupting each other. I did not see that here and if there is any instance of interruption here, it is minimal. That is admirable.
I started following this podcast earlier this year and my entire life has changed. I am a health professional and the insights I’m able to gain from these conversations has been the thing that has set me on a different trajectory in my very very young career. I absolutely am grateful for this opportunity you give us to learn from experts and improve our lives. Thank you. Thank you Thank you Much love from Nigeria ❤❤
I am a pediatrician and I am very much into teaching the parents not to introduce processed food. I salute the very humble doctor by sharing his insights and brilliant answers to the equally brilliant questions asked to him. Prevention is the key and it should start at an early age. I hope the mothers are more receptive to this 🙏
Good on you doctor. Processed foods are so toxic to the body, especially to growing children whose body is still developing and your putting that junk into the growing humans body. It's ridiculous how irresponsible media is to other people.
The doctor is deceptive like must doctors who are out of shape telling you what to do. You’d think they are making enough money as a doctor writing prescriptions putting people on statins and other drugs … working for big Phama. The doctors today have become transparent . All they care about is the dollar. No cardio? Just sit on your ass and watch the fat melt . Nothing beats good diet, little cardio but not no cardio …. Scientists have support 10 minutes of HIT Cardio is far more beneficial that doing 45 minuet brisk walk.Besides he is regurgitating Dr lusting metabolical book which i read.
@@TheMMAlegria I am a grandparent - I have 5 precious humans who eat a typical American diet - I feel horrible because I give my little angels popsicles (we live in Arizona & it is HOT🥵 here). I feel guilty - I need to buy the doctor’s book & educate my daughters on what he is teaching.
Personally I think the greatest contributor to childhood obesity is parental ignorance about the relationship of diet and health, and parental laziness. It's so easy to buy fast food and say "that meal is solved!" But it wasn't a meal of real food. The best "1 Easy trick" I ever devised was "If I don't buy it, it can't come home where we can eat it." Other favorites are "ingredients of sugar or fructose go back on the store shelf" "food in bags are rewards for outings during which no one behaved like an animal."
I am 53 and began seriously gardening this spring. I grow okra, peas, zuccinni, squash, Peppers (banana, bell, and jalepeno) cucumbers, tomatos, eggplant, watermelon, cantalope, corn, Italian and Thai basil, Malabar Spinach, pumpkins, and Kale. For the last 3 months at least half of everything my family eats comes from my ground. I hope this change will make a difference long term.
Fantastic person so hamble and explanations given are easy to understand and rationalized. Thank you it was my first one on this channel, that is the kind of podcast we need
Here are some benefits of cardio exercise: 1. Increased heart strength: Cardio exercises challenge the heart, which helps it become stronger and better equipped to pump blood throughout your body. 2. Weight loss: Cardio exercises help you burn calories, leading to weight loss over time. 3. Reduced risk of chronic disease: Cardio exercises help to improve your overall health and decrease the chances of getting chronic diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. 4. Improved mood: Cardio exercises cause the body to release endorphins, which reduce stress and increase feelings of happiness and pleasure. 5. Better sleep: Regular cardio workouts can help improve your sleep quality as well as the time it takes to fall asleep. 6. Increased lung capacity: Cardio exercises improve how efficiently your lungs can pump oxygen into your bloodstream, which can prevent shortness of breath during everyday activities. 7. Stronger bones: Some cardio exercises can help improve overall bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and other related issues. 8. Improved circulation: Cardio exercises can improve blood flow throughout your body, leading to improved energy levels, lower blood pressure, and reduced risk of circulatory issues. DO NOT STOP YOUR CARDIO
Agree I have been a doing cardio since I was in my teens and now in my early 50's and don't have all these health issues as my peers. I feel great and I attribute it to doing cardio all these yrs.
That's fantastic. Yeah it's so weird all of these "tips" when back in the day we worked out and there wasn't so much obesity like now. But then again we didn't have the internet
Did you watch the video? Cardio doesn't really help to lose weight since it increases your long-term appetite and your metabolism adjusts to burn less calories passively.
@@AmyZonkersI saw the video but there are other important benefits to cardio BESIDES losing weight. Walking is super beneficial. This "doctor" is tripping!
One of the main reasons that 100 years ago People didn't have as much Heart Disease and as many Heart Attacks is because they WALKED everywhere for miles and miles everyday. The Car is one of the biggest contributors to Heart Disease.
it's likely a smaller factor when you consider that types of clogging are the leading heart diseases, and that walking does not unclog your arteries, a stronger heart can help make use of clogging arteries for longer, but it doesn't solve the actual issue
@@beatonthedonis depends what you mean by "arterial health", pretty broad subject movement and exercise strengthens your heart, and with a stronger heart you can pump blood through clogging arteries longer, this is considered "better arterial health" but the exercise on it's own does not unclog your arteries, if you put junk in your body you will harm your body regardless of how much activity you do unless you're trying to say activity cure's literally everything? that you can drink a cup of poison and just run it off later? because that's what these processed foods are to your body, a poison causing a buildup of something you can't just "burn off"
The primary reason why people don’t change their diets from processed foods to Whole Foods (foods that come from the ground and the animals who eat them) is because of addiction. Companies primary goal is to make money and they’re making money off of people like you and me.
Hey this scared the crap out of me and pushed me even more to continue my life style changes which I was already in the process of doing. And yes I was one who was addicted to sugar. I am now exercising, eliminating sugar, and eating healthier. I'm a health care worker who has seen younger and younger patients come in with diseases only seen in the elderly! I do not want to end up getting heart disease if the process hasn't already started! 😧 Listen to this doctor he's so spot on.
It never occur to me that I'll be relying on a podcast, entitled, "The Diary of A CEO" , to gain knowledge about health! So far this is the best conversation I watched here. Thank you, Steven!
Love this! Yes. I agree. I rely on SB and a few other podcasts to give me a lot of my info. Especially since I saw my doctor and she literally told me to ask DR GOOGLE. Lol. And it takes a lot for me to ask a doctor for help.
My wife is a perfect example of what works. She hated running but worked out at the gym and with a personal trainer for close to a decade with very little change. Then she started intermittent fasting and in 1 year she lost a ton of fat. She continues the exact same exercises. Interestingly enough, now that she is fit she loves to run which she has never done before due to her having less energy.
I love Dr. Ovadia's answer to the last question. I truly wish more doctors realized they need to treat the whole patient/body, and not just one small part. Our bodies are a whole system of multiple parts and systems all inter-related. Also, his realization that food is medicine. And pharmaceuticals don't produce healing or sustain overall good health. Thank you, Dr. Ovadia for your work, and for speaking out.
That was a great episode! As an RN I so admire (especially) cardiologists who are being open about what people need to do to improve their health. I love that his focus is on the impact of one's metabolic health on the heart, and the importance of whole foods including animal protein! He was very specific about the importance of triglycerides and HDL instead of the more common focus and obsession about LDL. Notice he never mentioned salt. Also he gave very practical suggestions on how to avoid landing on his operating table. The public often thinks that physicians are only looking for their next payday. It's just not true. Most MDs truly want to see their patients live great lives and have wonderful outcomes. 😎
I’m seeing a lot of comments from nurses. Is it because the healthcare system doesn’t encourage these simple changes in habits? I would think Dr’s would say these things but are there any other information thrown out there?
@@dusk5956 doctors have very little nutrition education while they’re in school. So for a doctor to know about nutrition and how to actually help patients is very rare.
We need to update our educational curriculum to include dangers of processed food. And we need to ban certain ingredients that they dont allow in Europe but allow here. And we need to hold the food industry accountable by boycotting their goods and forcing them to add less sugar and addictive ingredients
Why is it always OR? Why is it always diet OR exercise or cardio OR weights? Why is it so hard to say that all 3 are necessary for a healthy life? The science IS pretty clear, Dr. Ovadia. IF someone eats at a caloric deficit, lifts weights at least 2x/week, and does cardio, it creates a synergistic effect that is better at weight loss than any of the three alone. Those who do cardio and resistance training lose more weight than those who just resistance train. It's time that we drop this stupid OR discussion and start encouraging AND. Let's even add a fourth, fifth, and sixth AND... sleep 7-8 hours a night, minimize stress whenever you can, and also add in stretching/mobility exercises. Do all of those things, the body will respond positively.
Cardio will help you to burn calories, but it doesn't really burn fat unless you're always doing it on an empty stomach. Weight is meaningless. Body composition is what people should be focusing on.
Cardio and strength training, plus having a very healthy and active lifestyle, have been the keys to my weight and fat loss. I dont do this for fat loss. I include cardio in my life because i enjoy it, and it's good for my heart health. We all live different lifestyles. What works for others may not work for you. ❤
You are correct , but he was just iterating that lifting weights improves muscle more than cardio.Improved muscle mass is more condusive to weight loss because it improves metabolism better than cardio.Thats not to say cardio doesn't improve overall health , though.
@@20GaugeSX4 indeed it is. The hunger levels increase with cardio but not by as much as the calories burnt while exercising. It's only 50%, this guy is clueless.
Yes, I think we all must design our own, custom workout routine. Custom because, as you said, what works for others may not work for you. I go for 4/1 or 5/1 (4 or 5 days weights/bodyweight training, 1 day running) and I also include walking.
Thank you for asking the questions I wanted to ask myself:) I love intelligent, meaningful conversations, like you do in your podcasts. I am 63 years old, and I stopped believing that I should be sick from arthritis, HBP, achy back, diabetic etc.. I reversed all this from changing and removing processed foods in my diet. So now, I believe that there is no reason to be sick or weak as I grow older, after all God designed my body and the God that I serve and believe is the God of life , and I can live a life free of sickness until my life is over Dr Ovadia, you have helped me and I am grateful. It is enough that you have educated one person and changed their life. It is too much to ask one man to change the entire world, but to save a few is enough. You are doing well Dr Ovadia. Thank you. Some things are for those who have ears to hear!
How to stop the manufacturers from producing killing foods? The processed food is overflowing the shelves 😢 Busy parents don’t know what else to put in their kids lunch boxes..
Well - education helps! Educate yourself and don’t hesitate to share it with others. We as the customers control what’s in the shelves by what we buy. I would say - the shorter the ingredients list, the better. And personally i have a close look on avoiding sugar and sunflower oil.
Really made an impact when responding to why people wont make changes, he said, "because people don't believe it's really possible to be healthy anymore. They look around and everyone around them is unhealthy." Great episode! I appreciate the clarity in conversation and easy to recall takeaway points.
I feel the same way after I've gained a stone since November 😱 almost everyone around me is overweight or obese. It's like blending into a zombie horde.
Aaaand this is why you shouldn’t trust everything a doctor says! Cardio is great for weight loss. Every single person I know, myself included, who has lost weight and kept it off, did cardio! Walking, cycling, swimming. It’s great for helping to burn off fat.
Cardio helps but as someone who has done weight lifting since age 15 and now 48 I would say it is a much more powerful tool for fat loss in my experience. I also went through a phase of cycling, mountain biking for several years, even doing a few races. I feel that weight training and proper eating is the main course and cardio is a supplement.
Yeah, i disagree with the parallel drawn between the nunber of gym users doing cardio and the number of obese people. Firstly, what is the percentage of gym users that are both obese and do cardio? Secondly, what is the data to compare the healthiness of people that only do cardio versus people that only focus on building muscle? Lastly, where is the comparison between gym users that eat right versus those that do not control the diet?
He's a surgeon. He's not that a doctor. Surgeons don't understand body physiology than your family nurse. Only what they know is "cutting and joining ".
i've had to replay, a few times, the part where he said he discourages cardio; I as a person who has faced great success cutting and maintaining weight via cardio. The reason he seems to discourage cardio is because for most people, there are chances of eating more later. I am trying to understand this reason and doesn't seem like a problem with doing cardio at all!
It's because it's nonsense, and the same logic applies to weight lifting. You get hungry from all kinds of exercise. Now, I would argue that cardio is even better in that way, as you don't have all those resting periods that you typically have between sets (which would allow you to feel hungry). If you've been running for an hour or so, you're more busy listening to your legs (or a podcast) than your belly. Hence less risk of "day dreaming" of that greasy burger or the 1kg of steak.
Dissection of the aorta is almost impossible to save. This surgeon is fantastic because he tried for 10 hours and is obviously marked by the tragedy. He is an awesome human.
Aortic dissection is deadly, however patients who have access to a hospital that can offer the appropriate treatment have average 80% survival based on data from international registry.
My dad had aortic dissection of the ascending aorta extending upto the abdomen. He was saved by dr Ramakant panda the best cardiac thoracic surgeon in Asia. He practises in asian heart hospital mumbai
Starting the day right. Thank you for these videos. I am currently surrounded by people who are not focussed and worn out with life and it’s really hard for them to stay inspired. These interviews are like my inspiration for me and feel like I am in a community of people that are vibing on a level ❤🎉😊
@@ievolcisum I always find something good in these podcasts. Always. I realize that my thirst for all knowledge (includes what I think I know and what I don't know) opens me up to absorb it all while keeping my Ego in check. These CEO YT are all great...keeps me a big fan.
Agree with all the above comments! Its a great Vibe! I enjoy the Young Man running this Channel, and his guest. Even the ones I don’t agree with, I learn from. I learn so much from the comments as well!
Cardio is super affective for flow, provides you energy, makes it hard on a host of diseases because you also are able to store nitrogen as nitrats in the blood, cardio is highly underrated and often bad mouthed
Loved this. Yesterday I was just telling a friend of mine who has high cholesterol that he should reduce his consumption of sugar, not fat. Now I’m learning from Dr Philip that sleep apnea can also be « treated » with a better diet and less sugar. That same friend also suffers from sleep apnea 😧. I just sent him this video. Thank you for this interview, Steven and team. 🙏🏼
I feel you Dr Ovadia. I am a health professional myself and I am very concerned with the excessive use of medication without ever emphasizing the most important part of the treatment - diet and lifestyle. It scares me to think of the fate of our future generation.
@@crand20033Most people who have gym membership also have fastfood apps on their phones that offer them daily discounts encouraging you to eat more and save money. Today's health problems is from convenience fast foods and delivery services. The correlation between processed convenience foods and the technology developed to easily access them are related to health problems and heart disease.
Diet and lifestyle are super important for health. However, it’s also very important how connections improve health and increase activity levels. My older ladies’ group loves doing volunteer work such as filling food bags with Feed My Starving Children, volunteering making meals for Ronald McDonald House (next to the oncology center), volunteering at our house of worship, shopping for people, etc. We do this either as a group or with just another friend. I find the interaction along with exercise really helps tremendously.
@@isddesigner7 Agree that keeping the mind active with something you enjoy is vital. Also good sleep is important. My father is almost 90. Still drives his car 20km three days a week to meet his friends to play mahjong. He doesn't do much exercise and loves his fatty roast duck and BBQ pork. I would say he is 95 percent on the carnivore diet. Apart from borderline diabetes he doesn't have other health issues, which is surprising because he has a sweet tooth. Has honey and peanut butter on his brioche buns and was an ex-smoker for 30 years!
We devalued the work mostly female household members did to cook healthy meals, and with current schedules and demands, we all need to eat convenience foods now, and our health is suffering.
Jan 7 is Day 22 of Carnivore Diet for me .... never felt better in my life. The number of people reporting total revitalization of their lives is growing every day - its miraculous.
I’m 53. I just sent this to my 29 year old twin nephews so they can learn what I wish I had at their age. Thanks for this episode and all the others. Your show is ( I had about 30 adjectives come to mind but I’ll sum it up) just the best! ❤
Cardio is extremely effective for weight loss. One of the main reasons is that it makes you consider your food choices far more carefully after doing it, as you don't want to waste the effort you have just put in.
Yes. I think swimming is probably best in that regard. Nothing exhausts me like swimming a few kilometers. But ultimately you'll burn more calories building muscle. For the body to produce the muscle you need a lot of calories too. If you do really focused muscle building training you also need to eat really much protein which automatically means your diet has to improve and be lower calories because of the sheer volume of food being the limit. Getting 140-160g of protein isn't easy
Thank you for everything you’re saying I hear the same thing over and over and you’re absolutely right and this is so wonderful to see Dr. All on the same page like you.
I flipped my metabolic switch July 2023 went full carnivore October 1, 2023. I enjoyed the entire interview thank you Dr. Ovadia I believe that there is a groundswell that will support you in your mission. There are a number of doctors who are joining you, as well as RU-vidrs such as Kerry Mann.
Cardio is definitely still important. The better shape my heart is in, the better I perform when lifting weights or doing anything else physically demanding.
@@Billy97ifybro the heart is a muscle, and doing cardio you are working that muscle.. as much as you work your bicep thru bicep curls. Every time you run the heart beats faster and more times per minute, with training the heart beats fewer times because it has more strengh to flow out blood.
@@antoniocosta1305 That is your opinion, okay. Is there proof? The heart is a muscle that never rests. It is always working. I have never observed my heart getting tired from any exertion. Why are so many young athletes dying from heart failure? Why are there always heart attacks at marathons? They have to have an ambulance on site.
Two and a half years ago, I had what my cardiologist called a "weird little heart attack". My mitral valve blew out. Shortness of breath and fatigue ensued. Upon angiogram, it was discovered that I had three occluded coronary arteries and the next day I had a triple bypass and had my mitral valve replaced. A little over a year ago, I started going to the gym and, since then, I've gained muscle weight while losing fat. I don't do cardio, I only lift weights. Several years ago, I stopped eating garbage and I quit drinking alcohol. I went from 225 to 175 during the following years. I'm now at 186 with a BMI of 25 but my bodyfat is at 18%. My goal is 15%. Before changing my diet, my triglycerides were at 6,000, which should have killed me. Now, they're at around 300. I am a diabetic (type 2) but am improving my A1C. It's a daily process. I'm in the best shape of my life, despite suffering from diabetic neuropathy. I'm 58 years old. It's possible to turn yourself around but it does take work, perseverance, and discipline. That Girl Scout cookie? Instead of saying, "I want it but I can't have it", say, "I can have it but I don't want it. I'd rather be healthy." This was a fantastic interview, which I have shared on my social media in the hope that everyone will watch, listen, and pay attention to what Dr. Ovadia is teaching us. Thanks!
Thank god there are still good doctors out there. I think the population got the basics, what we lack is the discipline and possibilities to actually follow a healthy regime.
I loved every single point discussed in this ep.. And literally has inspired me to change . As a young (ish) 41 year old with a 12 yr old son, his story and his pain around the lady that passed away struck a chord with me. I am going to change my life and try the lifestyle he spoke about. "Eat the things that come from the earth, and eat the things, that eat the things from the earth" so interesting.. Thank you for this episode. . You may have just turned my life around. 🙌🏾
Why? The guy looks overweight, he’s even got neck Giblets starting to form in a minute, take a run stop eating animals. Stop looking for the easy way out.
Good for you and know that you can do it! When I hit my late 30’s I started to feel achy, rundown and just plowed over. I was perimenopausal and about 138 to 142 pounds. I always battled the same 10 to 15 pounds. I always took vitamins and I thought I was eating right but I really wasn’t once I started to dig into the research & materials and watch programs such as these. I just turned 56 last month and my doctor tells me I have the bloodwork of a 30 year old. I’m Post menopausal and I feel pretty darn good compared to the complaints that my friends have. There are also friends in my social circles that now take medication for certain problems whether it’s a thyroid issue or hypertension. I am on no medication’s! And I want to keep it that way for as long as possible! I’m 5/4” and 118 pounds and again I feel better now than I did when I was 40. You can do it! And you’ll be so thankful that you did and so will your son! Other pioneers in the nutrition industry to check out are Dr Robert Lustig, Dr. Casey Means, Gary Taubes, a nutritional journalist and Max Lugavere just to name a few. Good luck and be well! 👏🏻💪🏻
@I Fix Hearts so beautiful… Doctor thank you so much for that interview I’ve learning about my health too, I changed my life 360 eating good, waking up at 5AM, go to the gym, I do meditation … it’s change my perspective about my life since I did this, this conversations just inspired me to continue with this ❤
@@experiment54 A middle aged man can have up to 22 lbs of subcutaneous fat without any health affects. I guarantee his visceral fat is also within acceptable amounts because of his diet ....he doesn't eat Processed Food .This means he is metabolically well , and this is more important than minimal subcu fat.
Thrilled to hear another allopathic doctor learn and acknowledge the role of sugar in chronic illness. I’d love to see him collaborate with other doctors already leading this charge…..Drs. Lustig, Hyman, Means and the Institute of Functional Medicine. JJ Virgin is a leading non-physician in this space. They’ve been shouting the information from the rooftops for many years. Collaboration makes their voices louder.
I try to discuss with my family about their trying to improve and change their poor eating habits, to avoid the current health issues that they are having, but they are resistant, even when I explain my own and the simple changes and the health improvements I experience. I believe with the food industry constantly bombarding our society with the junk they sale, and ppls lack of nutritional education, they will never change, because many say to me that "diet" has nothing to do with my health and won't change things. 😳
Guys, I’m going to help you all understand dieting and excercise: Calories in, and calories out. How much you eat vs how much you burn. It’s that simple
As a survivor of heart disease that nearly killed me, I think this is a fantastic video. Every point made by the doctor is spot on. I have switched to a mediterranean/whole food diet and as a result I feel great. No more elevated blood pressure, no more elevated cholesterol, heart burn...gone, and I have lost 20lbs. Maintaining muscle is very important because it decreases naturally as we age. Cardio thou is also very important as it triggers many physiological changes that significantly increases metabolic health. Problem is that most people don't do it long enough.
It often have a significant impact for the better from a mental health perspective, especially if one can have the excercise outdoors fairly early mornings if they also have poor sleeping patterns. Rachel Ann Cullen's "Running for my life" can show a contrast to the far too often path where people gets a bundle of prescriptions to treat mental issues that often sadly will wreck their metabolic functions.
Anyone that says cardio is not it is a nut job . People act like this podcast is the holy grail . Cardio is super important noodles . Yes weight training is exceptional for so many things . But happiness comes from cardio . Strength and changing your physical comes from weight lifting . Do both
