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've been profitable for years, are self-funded, and have no VC investment. Instead, our employees are invited to become co-owners via our employee-stock-offering plan.
- We're the largest keto and low-carb site in the world.
- We’re fully funded by our members, which means we don't need to show any ads or sell any physical products.
- We attract about 5 million monthly visits, have 80,000+ paying members, and 50+ employees (from 20+ different nationalities).
- We're among the top 5 ranked nutrition websites in the world on Trustpilot and have strong Glassdoor ratings.
