Dr Ovadia has since been determined to help patients improve their metabolic health and ultimately teach them new habits which could save their lives. He has written a book about my metabolic health methods called Stay off My Operating Table: A Heart Surgeon’s Metabolic Health Guide to Lose Weight, Prevent Disease, and Feel Your Best Every Day.
