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 and have strong Glassdoor ratings.
Our culture
At Diet Doctor, we aim to always live our four company values: trustworthiness, simplicity, inspiration, and goodness.
Our goal is to make the world a better place by empowering people everywhere to dramatically improve their health.
We believe building a team of top performers — who live by our values and get great things done fast — will significantly increase our ability to make rapid progress toward our purpose.
That’s why we're passionate about building a world-class team. Few things in life are as exciting and rewarding as working toward meaningful change alongside other like-minded people.
