Preparation
In a bowl, combine ground turkey (8 oz), ricotta cheese (⅓ cup), egg (1), Parmesan (3 Tbsp), almond flour (¼ cup), heavy cream (1 Tbsp), garlic powder (½ tsp), dried basil (½ tsp), and salt (¼ tsp). Mix gently until just combined—do not overmix. Form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs (about 8–10 meatballs).
Heat tallow (1 Tbsp) in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook 4–5 minutes per side, turning gently, until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add tallow (1 Tbsp) and butter (2 Tbsp). Sauté zucchini ribbons (1 cup) over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until tender and lightly golden. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce (½ cup), minced garlic (1 clove), dried oregano (½ tsp), and torn basil leaves (2–3 leaves). Stir in heavy cream (2 Tbsp) and olive oil (1 Tbsp) without heating it so it blends into the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 3–4 minutes until warmed through and slightly thickened.
To assemble, place sautéed zucchini ribbons in a bowl, top with turkey ricotta meatballs, and spoon over the warm garlic herb marinara. Drizzle extra olive oil (1 Tbsp) over everything before serving.
BSI and MetFix co-founder Emily Kaplan joins host Alexander McCobin to discuss how replication failures, publication bias, misleading presentations of medical risk, and financial incentives have undermined the reliability of medical research and shaped patient care. She uses examples including statins, clinical trial reporting, and AMA billing codes to show how the incentives surrounding medicine can influence which treatments doctors provide and how their benefits are presented.
Emily also explains how MetFix takes a different approach to chronic disease, using nutrition, exercise, and metabolic coaching to address underlying metabolic dysfunction. She highlights type 2 diabetes reversal and other real-world outcomes as examples of what becomes possible when healthcare focuses on restoring metabolic health rather than simply managing disease with medication.
