Description

The intervention involves the self-administration of exogenous ketones by male participants over the age of 50. The goal is to assess the impact of these ketones on cognitive performance and mood stability. The participants will take a full scoop of Perfect Keto Exogenous Ketones in the morning on an empty stomach.

Rational & Study Design

Why I created this challenge:

In the realm of academia and social chatter, exogenous ketones have been associated with enhanced cognitive function and mood stabilization, particularly in older men. Scholarly research and popular press endorse the potential benefits of ketogenic supplements, while social media is buzzing with anecdotes of transformation. Yet, the evidence is not adequately substantiated. I designed this protocol to bridge the gap, merging the rigors of a clinical trial with the engagement of a social media challenge. It's crucial we validate or debunk these claims.

My Objective for You:

My aim for you is straightforward yet profound. I want you to experience first-hand the potential benefits of exogenous ketones on your cognitive performance and mood stability. This isn't just an academic exercise, but a personal journey towards potential brain health optimization and improved quality of life.

Aims & Objectives:

The primary goal is to investigate the impact of exogenous ketones on cognitive performance and mood in men over 50. Secondary objectives include determining the relationship between ketosis, as measured by the Oura Ring, and changes in General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) and Quality of Life scores.

Significance & Impact:

This challenge seeks to illuminate the true effects of exogenous ketones on brain health, potentially debunking myths or validating claims. It's not just about changing the narrative but about impacting lives. The results may guide future interventions and inform broader health recommendations for older men. However, the limitations lie in the self-reporting nature of mood and cognitive metrics, which may introduce bias.
