The Carnivore Diet is often associated with muscle gain and weight loss, but it has also been shown to be beneficial for heart health. Dr Philip Ovadia is a Cardiac Heart Surgeon who strongly suggests Carnivore and saturated fat lowers your risk of heart disease.
How does the Carnivore Diet help with heart disease?
The Carnivore Diet is high in saturated fat, which is linked to a decrease in heart disease. Saturated fat can help lower bad LDL and triglyceride levels, both of which have been associated with an increased risk of heart disease. In addition to its benefits for the heart, saturated fat has also been found to have positive effects on brain function and memory.
Animal-based diet lowers inflammation
Saturated fat is a type of fat that occurs naturally in meat and animal products. It’s often vilified for being unhealthy, but research shows that people who eat more saturated fat can lower their risk of heart disease by up to 30 per cent. It turns out that saturated fats don’t just help your heart; they also reduce inflammation in your body on multiple levels.
In fact, one study showed that eating red meat led to a 20 per cent reduction in C-reactive protein (CRP), which is an indicator of inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation is a major risk factor for many diseases including cancer, depression, asthma and obesity—so by lowering CRP levels through diet alone (without added medication or supplements), you’ll be helping yourself stay healthy!
Carnivore improves heart health and lowers the risk of heart attacks
If you have a heart condition or are at risk of a heart attack, a carnivore diet can help lower inflammation and prevent heart attacks. Dr Ovadia also discusses the 5 keys to metabolic health to not just survive, but thrive in life.
The carnivore diet has been shown to be effective at helping people reverse diabetes, lose weight and lower blood pressure. Carnivore can also help reduce inflammation in the body and improve heart health by reducing inflammation. Many people who eat a lot of meat experience better sleep patterns, improved mental clarity and higher energy levels when following this type of eating plan.

0 -> as a heart surgeon saturated fat is not what
is causing the epidemic of heart disease I had
7.32 -> plantar fasciitis my third day on the carnivore
diet I got out of bed and for the first time in
13.62 -> years my foot didn't hurt and was able to lose
a hundred pounds why the carnival diet cures
19.38 -> heart disease with Dr Philip ovedia Dr avedia
is a cardiac heart surgeon he has lost over a
24.72 -> hundred pounds and he has seen his patients
reverse heart disease with a carnival diet
29.22 -> and it's more than just heart health next week we
have Dr Elizabeth bright discussing why one stick
33.72 -> of butter a day is so important for reversing
menopause symptoms so if you want to check it
37.92 -> out make sure you subscribe Dr avedia is going
to join us on the December Carnival challenge
42.24 -> I host these monthly challenges every single
month with special guest speakers to tell you
47.16 -> the truth about the carnivore diet how it can
help you lose fat and reverse disease the link
51.9 -> is in the description see you there so as a
cardiac surgeon do you think that saturated
58.62 -> fat is the villain or the hero in cardiac health
it is clear that saturated fat is not harmful to
65.88 -> our health is not harmful to our heart health and
you know that's not just me saying that we have
71.76 -> to realize that many of the leading organizations
now who kind of started this whole problem around
78.3 -> saturated fat this concern around saturated fat
have walked back from that you know the American
83.88 -> Heart Association the U.S dietary guidelines
have both over the last few years quietly taken
93.06 -> the restrictions on saturated fat out of their
recommendations they have said you know saturated
98.82 -> fat is no longer a nutrient of concern uh for over
consumption they didn't make that big announcement
105.42 -> oh we were wrong about saturated fat so honestly
most Physicians and most you know non-physicians
113.82 -> haven't gotten that message and they're still
all this concern around saturated fat and heart
120.3 -> disease especially red meat causing heart disease
Cancer all of these things are simply not founded
128.22 -> in science it frustrates me that we still have to
argue against what was never never a well-founded
136.14 -> hypothesis in the first place and yet we go
round and round trying to convince people
142.56 -> that it's not true so I am fully confident
as a heart surgeon saying that saturated fat
150.48 -> is not what is causing the still ever-present
epidemic of heart disease because we can look
158.22 -> at it at many different levels but again looking
at the high level of evidence since we have been
163.56 -> concerned about saturated fat going back to
the 1950s we have reduced our consumption
169.74 -> of saturated fat and our heart disease problem
has not gotten better and lots of other problems
175.62 -> have gotten a lot worse during that time obesity
diabetes in particular so saturated fat is not
183.12 -> the problem we shouldn't be avoiding saturated
fat there's no reason to fee or saturated fat
189 -> in the diet so do you think that vegetables and
fruit are a killer at all to our health that is
196.26 -> oftentimes going to depend on the person is my
answer to that so my first rule around eating
202.5 -> thing is we should be eating whole real food
eliminate processed food and that's going to get
208.62 -> a lot of improvement for most people we do have
to acknowledge that plants fruits have some things
218.58 -> that can be harmful to people when you're talking
about fruits first of all they have a lot of sugar
224.88 -> in them and if you are not metabolically healthy
you cannot tolerate sugar you cannot tolerate
231.06 -> carbohydrates no matter what form they're coming
in because your body ultimately doesn't really
236.64 -> differentiate between the sugar in processed food
and the sugar that's coming from a piece of fruit
244.32 -> if you're not metabolically healthy you want to
be careful with fruits and vegetables because they
249 -> are carbohydrates if you are metabolically healthy
then you may be able to tolerate some of these but
255.78 -> the other side of that discussion is you know are
there unique benefits to fruits and vegetables and
262.62 -> the answer to that at this point is really no it's
not no there isn't there are no neutral nutrients
269.88 -> that you can't get from animal products that
are only available in plant products so it is
276.9 -> not essential to the human diet to be consuming
plant products and that's why we see you know
282.48 -> so many carnivores are able to thrive and do
so well for such a long you know long period
288.3 -> of time I'm glad that you said that yeah yeah
I'm so glad because I think that there's such
295.92 -> a misconception around we need to eat vegetables
or even some vegetables some fruit they contain
301.62 -> nutrients but exactly what you said there is
no essential nutrient that we cannot get from
308.1 -> meat and that's the most important thing about it
for most of our existence as human beings we have
314.04 -> been eating a primarily carnivorous diet people
will always cite you know all these studies that
320.46 -> show benefit to eating more vegetables eating more
fruit you know and this is where the eat your five
326.4 -> to seven servings a day came from but the only
benefit of those Foods is if they are displacing
334.5 -> processed food in the diet essentially that's
the only place that you can truly show benefit
340.32 -> from uh you know eating these foods and and yes I
would agree with that if your choice is processed
346.86 -> food or fruits and vegetables eat the fruits and
vegetables um but the reality is is that you don't
352.92 -> need either in your diet and so you know I don't
say that carnivore is the only way to be healthy
360.42 -> but I ask a pretty good way yeah it is a very
good way and you know I always ask people to
368.4 -> just be more thoughtful about what you're eating
that's what it starts with as a cardiac health
373.44 -> surgeon how did you stumble across the carnival
diet I was morbidly obese I was pre-diabetic and
381 -> I quite frankly thought I was going to end up
on my own operating table my grandmother had
387.66 -> had heart surgery my dad has had heart surgery
and I saw myself going down the same path as me
394.44 -> many of my patients like many of my patients was
at a loss as to what to do because I had followed
400.92 -> the advice the advice that I had learned to give
them the advice I would give them eat less move
407.76 -> more eat a low-fat diet count your calories and
it wasn't working for me and it you know quite
413.94 -> frankly didn't work for them thankfully I started
to come across some different ideas around Health
420.36 -> some different information my journey really
goes back this is now seven years ago I was at
427.5 -> a conference of heart surgeons and the guest
lecturer happened to be Gary Tobbs and this
435.9 -> was right when Gary had written the case against
sugar and of course prior to that he had written
440.88 -> uh good calories bad calories and why we get fat
listening to Gary's talk really resonated with me
448.8 -> the concepts he talked about made a lot of sense
and these were new Concepts to me you know what
455.88 -> we eat is more important than how much we eat I
immediately uh you know read Gary's books started
462.06 -> eliminating sugar low carb diet that evolved
through keto and I was able to lose a hundred
469.74 -> pounds reverse my pre-diabetes and uh I thought I
was doing pretty well and then about three years
477.96 -> ago I heard another crazy surgeon by the name
of Sean Baker uh talking about the carnivore
485.94 -> diet now if you need support and you can't lose
fat on the carnivore diet no matter what you do
490.38 -> you can join the December Carnival challenge you
can also meet Dr ovadia he's going to answer all
495.66 -> of your questions live relating to cardiac heart
health as well as so many other guest speakers I
501.84 -> host these challenges every single month and the
key reason is for you to stay supported and on
507.54 -> your journey with a carnival diet the link is
in the description see you there and I started
512.34 -> thinking you know at that time I was doing very
low carb keto probably under 20 grams of carbs
518.94 -> a day a little bit of veggies I'm mostly eating
a carnivore diet let me give it a try and I gave
524.82 -> it a try and I noticed even more Improvement
one of the most noticeable things for me was
532.44 -> I had plantar fasciitis inflammation in my foot I
could not get rid of I would you know do all the
539.46 -> stretches I would stop running I would run more
you know everything I could try different shoes
545.22 -> it would not go away my third day on the carnivore
diet I got out of bed and for the first time in
551.7 -> years my foot didn't hurt and the third day Third
Day third day on the carnivore diet yeah it really
559.5 -> was and uh early on you know if I would uh have
something non-carnivore I would start to feel
567.9 -> pain in my foot again so clearly there was some
inflammation something was triggering it uh you
573.78 -> know the veggie or whatever it was uh you know
some of those keto kind of processed foods now I
580.38 -> wasn't aware of the whole vegetable and seed oil
thing back then so you know there are certainly
585.42 -> some other things I've learned along the way but
you know three plus years later I've stayed with
591.66 -> carnivore because quite frankly I feel my best
it's easy uh it's kind of low you know I don't
599.28 -> have to count anything I don't have to think
about anything it fits well into my lifestyle
604.98 -> you know uh I can go long periods of time without
eating if I'm in the operating room or I'm busy at
612.06 -> work I get home from work you know it's simple
I grab something out of the fridge I throw it
618.48 -> in a pan for a few minutes I eat it I'm done no
mess I don't have to think about shopping much
624.3 -> it's so I stick with it because it works um and
I now realize you know how powerful a dietary
632.52 -> intervention it is so so I know based on your
book get off my operating table you talk about
638.16 -> the five measures of metabolic Health what should
people be looking at when they're measuring their
643.98 -> overall cardiac health I think the measures
of metabolic Health are a great place to start
649.38 -> they are the basics but they're aware everyone
should start and you should at least know these
655.02 -> five numbers and you should know whether or not
you were metabolically healthy because you know
660.12 -> going back to your last question if it's not
saturated fat what is it the answer is it's
666.48 -> insulin resistance and it's poor metabolic Health
that is the biggest risk factor for heart disease
672.3 -> and that's been shown in in you know study after
study so you need to know are you metabolically
679.5 -> healthy or not and the statistics are pretty
shocking you know here in the United States 88
685.98 -> of the adults are not metabolically healthy uh 88
88 uh crazy there was a more recent study looking
697.86 -> at a slightly different set of parameters that
actually found that 93 percent were not healthy
704.16 -> and you know that's the U.S which is probably you
know the worst place but many other countries are
712.8 -> not far behind the first step is to measure it
to know how to measure it five basic measures
717.66 -> the first one is your waist circumference so just
take a tape measure just above the level of your
724.26 -> belly button measure it first thing in the morning
the general rule of thumb is uh less than half of
731.46 -> your height is the goal there that's the ideal uh
the acceptable cutoffs that uh you know we put on
738.48 -> these numbers for women is 35 inches for men is 40
inches the next measurement is blood pressure you
746.88 -> can check it at home your doctor checks it you
can get it checked at the pharmacy the grocery
751.86 -> store the goal there is is to be less than 135
over 80. so both of those numbers have to be
760.2 -> under those cutoffs and that needs to be without
the use of blood pressure lowering medication if
767.16 -> you've been diagnosed with high blood pressure
it is an indicator of poor metabolic Health it's
773.34 -> often the first indicator and unfortunately many
doctors don't pick up on that don't view it that
780.54 -> way the last three measures come from some
very basic blood work you know almost every
787.26 -> doctor checks this as part of a sort of routine
examination so your fasting blood glucose level
794.82 -> the amount of sugar that's in your blood when you
haven't eaten for uh eight to twelve hours and you
801.6 -> want that to be under 100 milligrams per deciliter
here in the U.S and that's roughly five millimole
807.96 -> if you have type 2 diabetes another indicator that
you are not metabolically healthy and then finally
814.68 -> we do look at cholesterol but important to note we
look at HDL the good cholesterol number we look at
823.68 -> triglycerides another number on your cholesterol
panel we do not look at LDL cholesterol the number
831.6 -> that you know most doctors are so focused on
uh so your HDL cholesterol you want that to be
839.4 -> higher that's why we call it good cholesterol uh
for men uh you want it to be over 40 milligrams
847.02 -> per deciliter for women you want it to be over
50 milligrams per deciliter women tend to have
853.02 -> higher HDL levels those are the basic measures
of metabolic health if you have three of those
860.16 -> abnormal outside those healthy ranges I mentioned
that actually diagnoses you with the metabolic
867.9 -> syndrome it's called it's a medical diagnosis it
means you are at very high risk for things like
873.66 -> diabetes heart disease Alzheimer's disease many
forms of cancer have been associated with the
881.94 -> metabolic syndrome you know most of the chronic
medical conditions we face today are attributable
890.4 -> to metabolic disease metabolic syndrome find
out your numbers discuss it with your doctor
896.76 -> ask them do I have the metabolic syndrome am I
metabolically healthy uh and unfortunately a lot
903.84 -> of doctors are going to have to like go back to
their textbook and look that up because it's not
908.28 -> something that we talk about every day even though
it is the major risk factor for heart disease
914.34 -> and for you know so many of these other chronic
diseases okay so if people have metabolic syndrome
921.06 -> which is a cluster of different kind of conditions
what can they do to start improving their health
927.48 -> yeah so first and foremost is you know changing
what you're eating uh this is driven by diet
935.52 -> uh first and foremost and the processed foods um
especially the heavily processed carbohydrates and
944.58 -> the heavily processed oils heavily processed fats
the vegetable and Seed oils do seem to be the main
953.52 -> drivers of the metabolic syndrome uh so the best
way to attack this problem is to change the way
960.96 -> you eat there are other factors that contribute
to it and you know the other kind of pillars of
967.38 -> advice that I give in the book are moving more
getting more activity throughout your day making
974.28 -> sure you sleep enough and you get good quality
sleep managing your stress these are other factors
981.84 -> that play into metabolic health first and foremost
is start paying attention to what you're eating
987.72 -> now when it comes to actually being on a Carnival
diet a lot of carnivores I like to test obviously
993 -> the HDL are the markers what do you think about
calcium scores and testing cacs also testing your
999.18 -> insulin levels both of those tests I think are
excellent tests whether or not you're carnivore
1004.22 -> I think your fasting insulin level is a great
indicator of your metabolic Health it goes beyond
1010.94 -> those five five basic measures that I talked about
and I do believe that we should be checking that
1016.16 -> in you know uh most people uh the coronary artery
calcium score uh scan I believe is the best test
1025.82 -> to show someone whether you know what their level
of risk is of developing significant heart disease
1032.78 -> if you don't already have heart disease if you
don't already have symptoms of heart disease uh
1038.42 -> then the coronary artery calcium scan is the best
test that we can do to determine do you have the
1045.56 -> early signs of heart disease are you developing
plaque within the arteries of your heart which
1051.86 -> means that you have been doing something that has
been damaging the arteries of your heart and all
1057.38 -> these other metrics that we talk about all the
blood tests all the cholesterol markers all of
1062.36 -> those are just trying to predict how much risk you
might be at for heart disease why not get the scan
1068.72 -> that looks at whether you have heart disease
so what do you think about patients that have
1073.1 -> pre-existing heart problems they have stents or
they're on like Subs so they're on aspirin a beta
1079.46 -> blocker can they do a carnivore diet while being
on medication or if they have pre-existing heart
1084.08 -> problems what I tell people with heart disease
what I tell people after I operate on them you
1089.96 -> know for their heart disease is we still need to
address the underlying problem and we need to stop
1096.38 -> the damage from continuing to accumulate so I do
not really see any contraindications for patients
1105.8 -> with heart disease to doing a carnivore diet many
of my patients after surgery have done it and have
1113.72 -> done well with it and then I have many patients
that I work with who have some heart disease
1119.3 -> but not you know not Advanced to the point that
they've needed a stent or bypass surgery and they
1125.06 -> do the carnivore diet as part of a comprehensive
program to improve their health and they see see
1132.02 -> very good results for it I have now some people
who have actually seen lowering of their coronary
1139.76 -> artery calcium score that's still controversial
many cardiologists many heart doctors will tell
1146.3 -> you that's not possible but I have seen it so
it is possible I'm not going to tell you that
1152.9 -> we can completely undo damage that's been done we
can't get calcium scores to go from a thousand to
1159.98 -> zero but we can get them to go down 10 15 percent
and more importantly we can stop them from getting
1166.76 -> worse so how can people find you my website is
ifixsharts.com I have uh my book obviously I
1175.4 -> have my courses my medical practice where I work
with people one-on-one to help them stay off my
1182.36 -> operating table is at ovadiaheartthealth.com well
awesome thank you so much for your time and I'm
1189.08 -> sure that we're going to see you on again if you
want to meet Dr ovarian live during the December
1193.22 -> Carnival challenge he will answer all of your
questions relating to heart health and also how
1198.14 -> he lost a hundred pounds on the carnivore diet
