In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, can heart disease prevention be asking the wrong question? Dave sits down with Philip Ovadia, MD, cardiothoracic surgeon, as the guest makes the case for looking beyond LDL alone. They discuss bypass surgery, why cholesterol-lowering hasn’t erased heart disease, insulin resistance, trial design, statins and PCSK9 drugs, real-food diets, CGMs, and how clinicians think about risk in practice.
