RS2
The product used in the trial is High-Amylose Maize Starch (Hi-Maize® 260 from Ingredion), a clinical-grade Resistant Starch Type 2 (RS2). It´s usually sold in bulk (50lb bags) for industrial food processing but a convenient alternative source of RS2 is unmodified Raw Potato Starch (such as Bob's Red Mill). It is widely available in grocery stores.

In fact, potato starch is more concentrated in RS2 than corn starch. You can get 40g of RS2 (the dose used in the trial) from ~53g of potato starch (4.5 to 5 level tablespoons or just under 1/3 cup).
Important: Keep it cold/uncooked or cook at low temp (below 140°F (60°C)). Heat destroys the RS2 structure, converting it into fast-digesting glucose. Mix it into cold water, milk, or a smoothie.
Start Slow: Begin with 1 tablespoon daily (~8g of active RS2) and gradually scale up over 3 to 4 weeks to allow your gut microbiome time to adapt without causing temporary bloating or gas.

Peak Heart Rate Info
In High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Peak Heart Rate is the highest number of beats per minute (bpm) your heart reaches during an intense burst of exercise.
The simplest formula is:
Peak Heart Rate = 220 - Your Age
Example for a 50-year-old: 220 - 50 = 170 bpm
The trial covered in the video reports that over 90% peak HR was less effective than under 90%. For a 50 year old this would mean staying under 153bpm rather than over 153bpm.
