Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. Order of operations matters more than any single choice here: establish a baseline, change one thing, wait long enough for it to express itself, then measure again under the same conditions.

One practical note: write down what you did and when, before you need it.

Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. Most of what circulates confidently in this community traces back to one summary of one study, and the qualifier was dropped somewhere in the third retelling.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use. Nothing to add that would improve it.

Moderator note: two posts asking for a source have been merged into one. Please search the thread before asking again. Report rather than reply if it drifts again.
