#1 Heart Surgeon: Eat This Meal to Clean Your Arteries

About this video

Kane interviews heart surgeon Dr. Phillip Ovadia, who says he lost 100 pounds and reversed his pre-diabetes after abandoning low-fat advice. Asked for four heart-healthy foods, he names steak, eggs, seafood such as salmon or tuna, and lamb. He argues heart disease is fundamentally a disease of insulin resistance and poor metabolic health, and walks through five measures he uses: waist under 40 inches for men and 35 for women, blood pressure under 130/85 without medication, fasting glucose under 100 or A1c under 5.7, HDL above 40 for men and 50 for women, and triglycerides under 150 — claiming only 7% of US adults meet all five. He prescribes whole, real food, as low-carb as the individual needs, and recommends a coronary artery calcium scan as an early test. He says he avoids processed food, smoking and negative people.
