Hi! I just completed a fun self-experiment around improved cognitive performance using pure ketone esters.
Highlights:
- After consuming 40g of pure ketone esters, I achieved therapeutic levels of ketosis (>8.0 mmol/L) in just 15 minutes
- In 30 minutes, my ketone and glucose response exceeded even what I could previously achieve with a 5-day fast
- After removing (as much as possible) any “learning effect” then establishing 5-day baselines across 10 Lumosity games in 5 categories, my scores on all 10 games improved, by as much as 20+%!
I wrote up a post detailing my experiment and results here - https://www.quantifiedbob.com/2017/06/ketones-cognitive-performance-ketosis/
