In other words, I may be buying my hops in the streets some day
I didn't report that I made some dietary adjustments to be nice to the bacteria. I took up drinking wine and eating cans of salmon and switched to ω-3 fatty acid enriched mayonnaise because alcohol and poly-unsaturated fatty acid intake correlates with equol production from the daidzein in soy:

I don't overdo the wine because it's bad for 8-PN production from hops:
"Recent antibiotic therapy seemed to affect the 8-PN production negatively. Furthermore, strong equol producers reported higher poly-unsaturated fatty acid and alcohol intakes, whereas strong 8-PN producers consumed less alcohol and more theobromine."

Theobromine is in tea, kola nut, and... chocolate!
