New episode of The Healthcare Liberty Lab featuring Dr. Philip Ovadia
Most Americans are headed towards chronic disease—and they don't even know it. Are you one of them?
In this eye-opening episode, Andy Schoonover, CEO of CrowdHealth, dives deep into metabolic health with Dr. Philip Ovadia, a board-certified cardiac surgeon, author of "Stay Off My Operating Table," and founder of Ovadia Heart Health.
