Preparation
Prepare the Turkey Thighs:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix softened butter, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
Gently loosen the skin of each turkey thigh and rub half the herb butter under the skin. Rub the remaining butter all over the outside.
Place the thighs skin-side up in a cast iron pan or baking dish. Roast for 45–55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Drizzle with olive oil before plating.
Make the Cauliflower Mash:
While turkey is roasting, steam cauliflower florets and garlic cloves until tender (about 10 minutes).
Drain well and transfer to a food processor. Add butter, coconut cream, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Each round, the handstand hold does not need to be unbroken. Accumulate a total of 60 seconds before running again.

From the bodybuilder paradox – why those who put on muscle easy are so easily deluded about those who put on fat – to the infamous ob/ob (obese) mouse that reshaped our understanding of fat and hunger, this discussion uncovers how scientific dogma and misplaced faith in “calories in, calories out” derailed metabolic science. Together, the panel explores how leptin, fuel partitioning, and flawed interpretation have kept us stuck in a broken model of health, and what it takes to rewrite it.
