Actionable Insights
1. Seek Professional Medical Advice
Always seek the assistance of healthcare professionals for any medical conditions and do not disregard or delay obtaining professional medical advice, as the podcast content is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for medical advice.
2. Dilute Ketone Esters
If consuming ketone esters, dilute and mix them as instructed, rather than consuming a concentrated vial directly, to avoid adverse effects like the speaker’s experience of feeling like he would go blind.
3. Manage Magnesium BHB Dosage
When consuming magnesium beta-hydroxybutyrate, be aware that GI tolerability may be limited to 1-3 grams max per dose, as higher amounts can cause gastrointestinal issues.
For ketone electrolyte formulations, ideally spread the beta-hydroxybutyrate across monovalent and divalent cations (such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) to enhance utility.
5. Optimize Ketone Ester Potency
To achieve higher ketone levels with ketone esters, consider using the R beta-hydroxybutyrate with the R 1,3-butanediol.
