We also explore the biological mechanism, including how changes in the gut microbiome may drive these effects. But there’s an important twist: not everyone responds the same way. We’ll look at new research explaining why some people are “high responders” while others see little benefit, and what role specific gut bacteria play. Finally, we discuss practical ways to experiment with resistant starch yourself—from green bananas to high-amylose maize starch—and how to approach it carefully.
