You Were Sharp Once.
Most high-performers don't lose their edge because they stopped trying. They lose it because their brain stopped working the way it used to. The afternoon fog. The meetings where you're not as sharp. The energy that's just... gone.

Let Me Be Honest With You
I've encountered people who were bedridden, on oxygen, unable to leave their homes — people who should have been desperate for change. You know what many of them chose? Their old eating patterns over their health. Food comfort over freedom.
That's why I focus on high-performers. You're already successful. You do hard things regularly. You're willing to invest in yourself. You value measurable results over temporary comfort.
The initiation is intense. The discipline is real. But the results? Game-changing.
If you want easy, this isn't it. If you want effective, keep reading.
The Glucose Problem: Why Smart People Hit a Wall
Your brain is an organ. Like any organ, it needs the right fuel to function optimally. For most of your life, your brain ran on glucose — the sugar your body breaks down from carbohydrates. That worked fine when you were younger. Your metabolism was efficient. Your mitochondria were firing on all cylinders.
But here's what happens over time: your cells become resistant to insulin. Your pancreas has to work harder to get glucose into your cells. Your blood sugar becomes unstable — spiking and crashing throughout the day. Your brain, which is incredibly sensitive to these fluctuations, starts to suffer.
The result? Brain fog. Fatigue. Difficulty concentrating. The feeling that you're operating at 70% of your capacity, even though you're doing everything "right."
"You're not lazy. You're not burned out. Your brain is just running on the wrong fuel."
There's a Molecule That Changes Everything
When your body doesn't have glucose to burn, it switches to an alternative fuel source: ketones. These are molecules your liver produces from fat, and they're a fundamentally different energy source than glucose.
Ketones produce more ATP (cellular energy) per molecule than glucose. They reduce inflammation in your brain. They activate SIRT1 and AMPK — cellular pathways that repair and regenerate your mitochondria. They increase BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) by up to 47% (Aarhus University, 2025), which literally helps your brain grow new neural connections.
The result? Clarity. Energy. Focus. The kind of mental performance you had 10 or 15 years ago.
But here's the catch: most people who try ketosis don't get the results they're looking for. Because they don't understand the science. In practice, most people on a standard keto diet never even break 0.5 mmol/L — the allowed carbs prevent it, and cravings cause constant cycling in and out. The SKLeTT Protocol targets 4.0–6.0 mmol/L, where your brain actually gets the benefits.
30 Years of Refinement. One Protocol.
I've spent 30–40% of my time in therapeutic ketosis over the past three years. I live the challenges. I know what works because I'm doing it.

Throughout the Entire Program
Predictable Results When You Hit the Right Levels
Possible "keto flu" — fatigue, headaches, irritability. This is normal and temporary. Your body is switching fuel sources. With proper coaching, symptoms are minimized.
Brain fog lifts. Energy stabilizes. No more afternoon crashes. Mental focus improves noticeably. You start to feel like yourself again.
Sustained energy throughout the day. Improved focus and decision-making. Better sleep quality. Reduced inflammation. Improved mood and emotional stability.
These improvements become your baseline. You understand your body's response. You have the tools to maintain therapeutic ketosis long-term.
Why This Works When Other Approaches Don't
Physician, Not Influencer
30 years in medical practice. I understand human physiology at a level most coaches don't.
I Live the Protocol
30–40% of my time in therapeutic ketosis over the past three years. I know the challenges because I face them every day.
30 Years of Refinement
After watching people try and fail for decades, I've identified the specific problems. The SKLeTT Protocol was designed to solve them.
Limited to 10–15 Clients
I don't scale this program because scaling means less personalized attention. You get direct access to me.
"I'm invested in your success. This isn't transactional. I want you to succeed because I believe in what this protocol can do. I want you to get your brain back."

One Hour on Your Numbers
A 60-minute video session with Dr. Barry Dublin, MD — $300
You’ve read the letters. You’ve watched the meter. Now bring yours.
Most people who are stuck under 2 are stuck for one of six ordinary reasons, and nobody they’ve asked can tell them which. Measuring the wrong thing, or at the wrong time. An empty tank. No sleep. Protein nowhere near the floor — or all of it at eleven at night. A workout, an illness, a medication, or a “keto” product that counts. I’ve had every one of them myself, on camera, and I’ve seen every one of them in thirty years of patients.
How it works. Before we talk, you send me what you’re measuring — or tell me you aren’t yet. In the hour, we go through your numbers the way I go through my own every morning: why your number is where it is, what to measure and when, what the readings actually mean, where your floor is, and what to do on the day it breaks. You leave with one specific change — the one thing in your log that’s holding you — and the safety rules I give every patient before anything else.
What you get. Within 24 hours: a one-page written plan, the recording of our call, and seven days of email for the questions that come up on day three.
What it isn’t. It is not a diet. I won’t send you a food list, and here’s why: I knew exactly what to eat for thirty years and failed twenty-three times. When I told patients everything on day one, almost none of them started. The ones who send me their number every day and eat what I tell them do very well. Same information. The difference is someone watching. That’s the twelve-week program — and if you decide within 30 days to do it, the $300 is credited toward it.
A word about protein. In this hour, protein only goes up — to a floor calculated on the weight you’re going to be, not the weight you are. With my own patients I go lower than that floor, and I check their blood to do it. That is what supervision means, and it is the reason my patients don’t lose their hair. The people who do this from a book do.
If you leave the hour without a plan you’d act on, I refund it.
This is an educational session, not medical care. No doctor–patient relationship is created, nothing is prescribed, and anything clinical — including medication, fasting, and any supplement — belongs with your own physician. I am a physician. I am not your physician.
Four sessions a week. The first ten include a 20-minute follow-up call four weeks later.
