A device composed of a plurality of beeswax microspheres are contained within a digestible capsule intended for the alimentary tract of the mammal. A method in which the device is ingested orally into the digestive system. A method in which digestive enzymes remove the outside capsule and beeswax microspheres are then dispersed within the gastrointestinal tract. The beeswax microsphere is then able to come in contact with free fats, lipids, cholesterol and lipophillic toxins within the gut and absorb them into the lumen of the microsphere. The beeswax microsphere along with all the fats, lipids, cholesterol and lipophillic toxins contained within the microsphere transits through the remainder of the gut undigested and are eventually excreted from the rectum and bowel by fecal elimination.

A ketone measurement and analysis system provides various features for enabling health program participants to interpret their ketone measurements, such as breath acetone measurements. One such feature breaks down ketone measurements into causal components. For example, the system may generate and display an estimate of how much of a participant's ketone measurement is attributable to stored fat metabolism versus consumption of a “confounding substance” such as dietary fat and / or exogenous ketones. The system may also estimate the contributions of specific confounding substances, and / or the contributions of other factors or events (such as exercise, interrupted sleep, a missed medication, etc.) that affect ketone levels. Another feature involves the generation and display of target ketone levels that are personalized for the participants. The system may generate the measurement breakdowns and target ketone levels by applying data mining algorithms to aggregated data of many program participants.
