I make keto recipes that my own family actually wants to eat, and I back every one of them with real nutritional science. If it does not pass my kids and my husband, my most honest taste tester, it does not make it to the site.

How a pharmacy background led to a keto mission
Back in 2012, after my second son was born, I needed to lose about 70 pounds. My husband suggested keto. I was skeptical, but my years studying biochemistry and metabolism at UC Davis and University of the Pacific helped me understand why it actually works.
Within a year the weight was gone. But that was not the part that stuck.
That is what kept me eating this way for 14 years, and it is why I started KetoFocus. I wanted to share what I know with people looking for the same thing.
My pharmacy degree is still the foundation of everything here, and in 2026 I earned a Nutrition Coach certification from the International Sports Sciences Association to keep sharpening the nutrition behind every recipe.

How I test & calculate
Every recipe goes through three to seven rounds of testing before it is published, and the macros on every card are calculated per serving in MyFitnessPal. You deserve to know exactly how, so I wrote it all down.
