Beef Kebobs with Creamy Feta Sauce
The Failure of Public Health: Greg Glassman, Atlanta, 2024
1 minute row sprint
1 minute row recovery
Herb-marinated beef kebabs grilled with vibrant vegetables and served with a rich, tangy feta sauce.
Greg Glassman speaks on the failures of current, post-modern science, and their impact on public health.
Go 95% on your first sprint then try to match that number in subsequent rounds.
Stay on the rower for the full 20 minutes, but row easy for the recovery intervals.
Set the rower to 1-minute intervals with 1-minute rest periods.
Post distance rowed on each interval to comments.
Ingredients
For the Beef Kebobs:
8 oz beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into bite-sized cubes
1 Tbsp melted butter
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp smoked paprika

½ yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
½ zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
½ cup cherry tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Creamy Feta Sauce:
¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 Tbsp Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp olive oil
½ Tbsp lemon juice
½ clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation
Marinate the beef: In a bowl, mix melted butter (1 Tbsp), oregano (½ tsp), thyme (½ tsp), garlic powder (½ tsp), smoked paprika (¼ tsp), salt, and pepper. Add cubed beef (8 oz), toss to coat, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) in the refrigerator.
Assemble the kebobs: Thread the marinated beef, red onion (½), bell pepper (½), zucchini (½), and cherry tomatoes (½ cup) onto skewers, alternating the ingredients.
Grill the kebobs: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the kebobs for 3-4 minutes turning frequently until beef reaches your desired doneness and the vegetables are charred and tender.
Make the creamy feta sauce: In a small bowl, mix crumbled feta (¼ cup), Greek yogurt (2 Tbsp), olive oil (1 Tbsp), lemon juice (½ Tbsp), minced garlic (½ clove), and fresh dill (1 Tbsp). Stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Place the grilled kebobs on a plate and serve with the creamy feta sauce. Garnish with extra dill or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Greg Glassman, co-founder of the Broken Science Initiative and founder of CrossFit, delivered this talk in Atlanta, GA, in December 2024. His speech explored the fundamental flaws in public health, modern medical science, and the academic approach to scientific validation.
Greg remains skeptical of institutions like the NIH and CDC, highlighting that many accepted health metrics—such as blood pressure and triglyceride levels—are incorrectly treated as independent variables rather than as outcomes of lifestyle choices. I.e. managing symptoms rather than addressing the cause. The cure then lies in a low-carb diet, paired with training high-intensity functional movements at least 3 days per week. A solution MetFix can offer that doctor visits can’t.
He also addresses the “replication crisis” as well as a deeper epistemic corruption in science, ranging from an over-reliance on statistical significance testing, to errors in logic. Ultimately, Glassman stresses that the hallmark of real science is predictive strength. Many so-called scientific models, especially in public health, lack meaningful predictions, rendering them unreliable. His talk was a call to action for individuals to develop stronger critical thinking skills and for the scientific community to restore integrity in research.

Not positive if that’s correct, my rower screen erased my progress half way through so had to guess 😅
