I don't believe this is keto related but I saw this article about Mickelson and coffee and thought I would see if anyone here could comment about his coffee additives. Based on the article this regiment of coffee and 36 hour fasting has had a lot of benefits for him. I'd be interested in trying it out if it makes sense.

Even when not fasting, Mickelson’s coffee blend is suited for the unique challenges of tournament golf. As with regular coffee, it has caffeine for bursts of energy. But since most coffee drinkers know too much can lead to edginess or the shakes, Mickelson adds an ingredient, L-theanine, designed to calm the nervous system.

To counter the inevitable hunger cravings of fasting, Mickelson also includes medium chain triglycerides (MCT) oil, also a component of the popular Bulletproof coffee blend, which provides calories while also boosting metabolism. He adds collagen, a protein that can promote healthy joints and skin; salt to counter the loss of electrolytes during competition; and lastly cinnamon, an antioxidant that also dulls some of coffee’s bitterness.

Suppiah says all of these ingredients make sense for Mickelson and plenty of others, with perhaps two exceptions. The doctor says he’s not convinced of the benefits of collagen. And since MCT oil is a fat that can increase cholesterol, it’s an ingredient that should be consumed in moderation for people with heart conditions.

“But even Phil uses this strategically,” Suppiah says. “He goes on these 36-hour fasts and just sips this throughout the day.”
