Dr. Philip Ovadia did everything right, but he was still fat. 

As a child. As a teenager. As a student at medical school. Even as a cardiac surgeon. 

Both his parents were obese. Both eventually had gastric bypass surgery. He resigned himself to being “genetically destined” for obesity. 

(Regrettably, this was another concept taught in med school.)

He saw obesity every day, both in the mirror and in the hospital where he treated obese and diabetic people on a daily basis.

Then, in 2015, everything changed.

He went from obese cardiac surgeon to a Rebel MD doing his best to keep people out of his office and off his operating table. 

This is his story.
