Since first establishing his medical practice in the AIDS-ravaged city of San Francisco in 1985, Dr.  Michael Wool has stayed on the cutting edge of research and technology.

His early efforts in the field of HIV studies, particularly in achieving a deeper understanding of the disease virology, achieved watershed breakthroughs — leading to dozens of clinical trials, as well as a National Science Foundation Award. Yet even with these successes, Dr. Wool’s heart always remained in the fight against the AIDS pandemic, and supporting the affected communities.   

Discovering the Power of Ketones

Through his continued research, focusing in on the dangers of inflammation on viral disease states, Dr. Wool uncovered his next breakthrough: the power of ketones for human health and immunology.

By incorporating a ketogenic diet similar to our ancestors — who suffered almost no inflammation — and amplifying the ketogenic state through highly advanced scientific supplements, he found that patients could rapidly achieve upwards of 80% reduced inflammation.  

Recognizing his ability now to help nearly two-thirds of Americans who are overweight or obese, suffering from damaging chronic inflammation, Dr. Wool partnered with leading engineer and chemist Stanley Ho to create Keto5.
