Paradigm Shifts, Entrenched Thinking, and the Future of Medicine
The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for eight intervals. Tabata score is the least number of reps performed in any of the eight intervals. Unit for the row is calories.
Post Tabata score for each exercise and total sum to comments.
Ingredients
10 oz flank or sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain
1 Tbsp butter or tallow

½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
½ cup full-fat canned coconut milk (unsweetened)

Preparation
Heat butter or tallow in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper, then sear in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
Lower heat to medium. Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to the same skillet. Sauté in the leftover fat for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in coconut milk, fish sauce (or coconut aminos), lime zest, and lime juice. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Add the spinach or kale to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Return the seared beef to the pan and stir everything to coat in the sauce. Heat through for 1–2 minutes.
Remove from heat. Top with chopped scallions and a drizzle of olive oil for a clean, peppery finish. Serve hot.
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.
