## Mechanistic Overview
Biphasic Ketogenic Intervention Protocol starts from the claim that modulating HMGCS2 within the disease context of metabolic neuroscience can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The biphasic ketogenic intervention protocol leverages the multifaceted molecular mechanisms of ketone bodies, particularly β-hydroxybutyrate, which functions far beyond simple metabolic fuel provision. The target gene HMGCS2
