At the 2026 Unbreakable Health Retreat in Miami, Dr. Drew Pinsky moderated a panel discussion with Emily Kaplan, Dave Feldman, and Dr. Thomas Seyfried on why medicine so often resists new ideas. Using examples from cancer metabolism, cardiovascular disease, nutrition, and the history of scientific revolutions, the panel discusses how institutional incentives, financial interests, academic hierarchies, and entrenched thinking can prevent evidence from changing medical practice—even when lives are at stake.
The discussion also explores how meaningful change takes hold. From metabolic therapies and the Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) to real-world outcomes generated by MetFix affiliates, the panel highlights the importance of better measurement, patient education, and the willingness to challenge accepted dogma. While paradigm shifts are often met with resistance, the speakers present a compelling case that better science—and better outcomes—ultimately prevail.
