Wonder how much of this is due to variation in gut flora and finding something that your picky gut bacteria could be happy with. Certainly made a difference for me, accidentally, when I apparently picked up a different gut flora strain that changed things that have been persistent for decades.
I’m pretty sure gut biome renovations were somewhere between pointless and insufficient for me but agree that they should be very high on the list of things to try for many problems. I’d put them in luck based rather than model based only because we don’t really know how to do them.
Gut biome was my first thought too as an explanation.
As far as I can tell fixing gut biome with things you swallow is extremely difficult. Probably not impossible, but fragile as heck.
The only thing that can somewhat reliably do it is a fecal transplant. Probably because you are moving in a whole ecosystem at once so the odd of it sustaining are higher.
This post makes me want to try ketone esters because I do notice I am very productive when fasting, where I am in ketosis. But I only do it a day or two a month because I like food too much.

Yeah, figured you’d have tried, just that I didn’t see you mentioning it, so brought it up.
