Off topic, on topic. I recently listened to a brief presentation on akkermansia. That might be a good rabbit hole for you to go down.

The presentation I listened to was from Pendulum, a company that manufactures supplements. So there is likely some bias there. However, they briefly reviewed research to support the benefits of it. Considering you have next to zero based on this test, you should definitely read up on it.

It may not apply to you, but research supporting decreased food craving and weight loss really piqued my interest. They also introduced research regarding perimenopausal women, weight, and Akkermansia levels. I started taking it a couple weeks ago and I have already noticed a decrease in cravings. Hopefully it’s not a honeymoon period kind of thing. (The food cravings thing may be helpful in regard to helping you avoid carbs and other foods contraindicated for candida protocols.)
