Are you someone who wants to make the world a better place, who is not content to work for yet another company the world doesn't need?



Our mission

Diet Doctor is a health company that aims to empower people everywhere to dramatically improve their health. We focus on lifestyle interventions - not medication or surgery.

What are the important components of a healthy lifestyle for those with obesity or type 2 diabetes? How can people implement this lifestyle in a sustainable way?

Currently, no major health organization in the world has an effective answer. We aim to change that.

Progress

- We're among the largest keto and low-carb sites in the world.

- We don't need to show any ads or sell any physical products.

- We attract about 5 million monthly visits and have 60+ employees (from 20+ different nationalities).

- We're among the top 5 ranked nutrition websites in the world on Trustpilot (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/dietdoctor.com) and have strong Glassdoor (https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Diet-Doctor-Reviews-E2389502.htm) ratings.
