Part 6/10:
The story doesn't end with olive oil. Ketones—particularly beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)—play a complementary role. They act as signaling molecules, epigenetic modulators, and anti-inflammatory agents. Even if you're not in ketosis, you can amplify these benefits using:
C8 MCT oil, which rapidly promotes ketone production.
Exogenous ketone supplements, like BHB salts.
Ketones inhibit HDAC enzymes, unlocking survival and repair genes like FOXO3, and stimulating resilience pathways. They also bind to receptors such as GPR109A, reducing systemic inflammation by lowering inflammatory free fatty acids.
Practical Protocol: How to Use This Strategy
You don’t have to endure traditional fasting to reap these benefits. Here's a feasible approach:
