Franklin Douglis, MD

CMO

Dr. Frank Douglis graduated from Brown University and the University of Maryland Medical School. He is board-certified in Otolaryngology, Sleep Medicine, and Obesity Medicine. Dr. Douglis has always been interested in health. Recognizing the importance of healthy sleep, he studied Sleep Medicine and earned board certification.  As he learned more about the relationship between sleep, eating behavior, and metabolic health he became board-certified in Obesity Medicine and served as the Chief Medical Advisor for Ideal Protein. He has used a ketogenic diet to promote health and longevity in his practice since 2008. Further pursuing his interest in wellness, particularly the study of metabolic health and how the body utilizes energy, he became interested in ketosis and its use in health and the treatment of various diseases. Being well acquainted with the difficulty many patients have starting and maintaining ketosis, he was eager to discover the possibilities of using exogenous ketones not only for weight loss but also for treating medical conditions and improving mental and physical performance. He is excited to have the opportunity to work as Chief Medical Advisor for Keto5 to develop new applications and formulations for exogenous ketones as well as to teach physicians and clinics how Keto5 ketones can benefit their patients.
