The statin debate goes beyond one cholesterol number. In this Savage Segment from Episode 913, Robert Sikes asks heart surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia where statins help and where he sees limits. Ovadia argues that their benefits are often overstated and that insulin resistance and inflammation deserve more attention. He shares why he changed his view on cholesterol, how he thinks about heart disease risk, and what he sees in patients who reach his operating table. They also discuss fasting insulin tests, coronary calcium scans, and his reasons for favoring a low-carb diet. Hear his case for looking beyond a lower lab number when discussing heart health with your doctor.
