Stay Off That Table!
Very easy read. Great rundown on metabolic health, how to score, current diets with pros and cons, and sample meals. I follow this on X, and agree with the idea that the whole “high cholesterol is bad” argument is not necessarily true. This book points that out. Stop consuming sugars! Also, the calcium score discussion is great. My PCM just had me do one and I am surprised (also mad) at the result.

My favorite!
I’ve read several books on topics similar to this over the last year in an effort to educate myself and improve my health. I would say this book is my favorite. It’s easy to understand, objective, and validates everything else I’ve learned making me even more confident in the direction I’m heading. If I was to refer friends or family to one book about metabolic health — one that I’m confident will help — this would be it. It’s practically the only resource you need! But also find a doctor similar to Dr. Ovadia. It’s so important that your doctor truly understands good nutrition and is looking out for your best interest. Good nutrition has nothing to do with our government’s food pyramid and especially nothing to do with pharmaceuticals.

Should be required reading for all medical professionals
I needed this book. Due to multiple long-term health problems, I was convinced that medications alone were not what was best for me. I did a 60-day elimination diet of only beef, eggs, butter, salt, & water (no dairy, coffee, tea, seasonings, or plants of any kind). Even though I was mildly nauseous the 1st 30 days, wonderful things began happening & the pain I’d lived with for decades began to get better every day. After the 60 days, I began adding 1 new thing to my diet to see how my body reacted. I found that while I could tolerate small amounts of dairy & a few seasonings like dill, rosemary, thyme, cumin, and truffle salt, the pain would resurface if I ate any other plants, even seasonings (even a sprinkle of black pepper). I was just happy to feel full all the time, not have cravings, not be in pain anymore, & to not have to take any medications so I didn’t care how restrictive this diet was. However, I wanted to know why this was working for me. That’s when I found this book. Dr. Ovadia explains it perfectly. This gave me the insight I needed to understand the path to health I’m on. Also, he provides several resources for those who need additional help from medical professionals (the ones who actually understand the importance of metabolic health), he gives examples for how to implement the most important changes, he lists the markers that we should all consider when assessing our health, & there’s even an FAQ section at the end containing questions his patients have asked him over the years (I found this section particularly helpful). I’m glad I found what I was looking for in this book.

Highly recommend
You should read this book!!! I’ve just had a CT scan that tells me I have heart disease. I haven’t needed a doctor my entire life. 🙂. And can’t find a doctor who will take my Medicare coverage. (I bought a package for the CT scan thru a company who does full body scans. Then I take it from there. So this book may help keep me alive till I find a cardiologist. Or will I even need a doctor, if I follow these instructions? Great info!

Solid Insights
What I like about this book is that is gives very insightful solid and strait forward information. Dr Ovadia wanted to find out how to save his own life from poor metabolic health, so he had to research and filter through much material which is now in this book. It also has the advantage of the insights he has as a heart surgeon. He also knows how to lead you gently into a whole new way of living without crashing.

Great educational read!
This is one of the best books I’ve read that explains metabolic health. It’s a short book and easy to understand. After 15 months carnivore it was great to realize I’m metabolically healthy! Much healing over the past year for my husband and I. Most people our age are on numerous medications, we are not!Thank Dr Ovadia

This book is an increadible education in TRUTH. It is like drinking fresh, clear, water in a dry and apathetic land.I had a heart attack 1 month ago. Found the Dr on an interview and bought the book (kindle: so I could start reading right away. And then ordered the physical book before I was halfway through reading the kindle one as I knew i needed to access on demand and have it with me at all times for info). 5 days of following his advice and I feel better than I have in many years, have lost 4.6 pounds, and way less osteoarthritic pain. I can’t wait to see what life looks like in a couple of months. A huge Blessing this Dr and his book have been for me. I am a 68 yr old female, on zero meds my whole life, with a great immune system till last month. Things were obviously not what they seemed.

Brilliant! Dr Ovadia simply explains why my father was sick for YEARS and died of a heart attack in front of me… and all the time he was seeing a multitude of doctors and specialists who were telling him he was doing great.I will not have the same fate.
