Martina Slajerova

Martina Slajerova is the co-founder at ketodietapp.com and creator of KetoDiet. She was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid and decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food. She avoided most fatty foods in fear of clogging her arteries and putting on weight. She based her diet around whole grains and vegetables, and limited her intake of animal products. She did exactly what the general dietary recommendations advised: She exercised more and ate less. Still, nothing worked. Finally, She got tired of dieting all the time so tried following a different approach. After she witnessed the incredible benefits of low-carb eating first-hand, she and her partner created KetoDiet and in 2012 launched the KetoDiet blog.
