We exist to connect the dots across health disciplines, and to share information that gives you the agency to change the trajectory of your own health journey - wherever you are at. The health industry is siloed, confusing and means we're often in the back seat, with little to no belief in our autonomy to improve our health status. We're here to change that and to highlight the ways that you can too.

Here, heart surgeon Dr Philip Ovadia dismantles decades of medical dogma around cholesterol and heart disease. Once morbidly obese and pre-diabetic, Dr Ovadia shares his transformation and exposes why the traditional cholesterol-focused approach to heart health is failing millions.
