Went for a long walk after my last post and did lots of thinking about this. I'm pretty sure I was clear enough before, but since I love thinking out loud, I wanted to share this and see what you think: When we talk about metabolic & mitochondrial flexibility and efficiency, that includes how we...

My knowledge of the effects of ketone salts & esters is virtually zero, so I don't feel qualified to comment on that at all. I would just echo Julie's advice to go slowly.
