The 5 Numbers That Predict Your Heart Health Better Than LDL

Dr. Philip Ovadia

Are you chasing a perfect cholesterol number but still not sure if you’re actually protected from a heart attack? Have you heard that half the people who have a heart attack actually have normal cholesterol?

We cover:

  • The one risk factor with a 600% increased risk of heart disease in women (hint: it’s not cholesterol, and most doctors never test for it)

  • Why half the people who show up with heart attacks have totally normal cholesterol

  • The metabolic health markers you can check at home today, no doctor needed

  • The 5-minute scan every woman should ask for by age 50

  • Why “healthy” athletic women can still be damaging their arteries

 

Dr. Philip Ovadia, MD, is a board-certified heart surgeon who became a leading advocate for metabolic health after confronting both his patients’ outcomes and his own struggle with obesity and insulin resistance. With decades of surgical experience, he has witnessed firsthand the consequences of metabolic disease. Today, he focuses on prevention, education, and empowering individuals to reverse metabolic dysfunction before surgery becomes necessary. Founder of Ovadia Heart Health and host of The Stay Off My Operating Table Podcast.
