Stay Off My Kitchen Table

Dr. Philip Ovadia is a board-certified cardiac surgeon and founder of Ovadia Heart Health. As a heart surgeon who used to be morbidly obese, he has seen firsthand the failures of mainstream diets and medicine. He realized that what helped him lose over 100 pounds was the same solution that could have prevented most of the thousands of open-heart surgeries he has performed: metabolic health.

In Stay Off My Operating Table: A Heart Surgeon’s Metabolic Health Guide to Lose Weight, Prevent Disease, and Feel Your Best Every Day (60,000+ copies sold), Dr. Ovadia shares the complete metabolic health system to prevent disease.

He completed his residency in general surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and a fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery at Tufts - New England Medical School.
