About Diet Doctor
In the middle of the current epidemics of obesity, diabetes and other diseases, people around the world are still receiving bad advice - take more pills and continue to do things the way you've always done (even if it makes you sick). The lobbyists for the pharmaceutical industry and the agricultural industry would love to keep things as they are without any meaningful change, in order to preserve a profitable market. Old experts continue to spread outdated and incorrect ideas that halts any progress.
But the industry lobbyists and backwards experts cannot control the internet, they can't stop knowledge and inspiration from spreading there. Our job is to make that development faster, and make sure that more people get the possibility to revolutionize their health and reach their potential.
