#171 - Metabolic Secrets of the Slim and Healthy - with Dr. Philip Ovadia

We uncover the untold "secrets" to metabolic health in this episode - straight from a heart surgeon.

However, Dr. Philip Ovadia is not your typical allopathic cardiologist dishing out drugs and selling surgery as the only solution to heart issues.
