Lialia Sakhno

Founder of Calorize

Lialia Sakhno is the founder of Calorize and an engineer with a master's degree in cybersecurity. She lived with obesity from childhood, in a family where obesity, diabetes and heart disease were part of everyday life. Diets and exercise alone never worked for her, until GLP-1 treatment changed everything: over three years she lost 25 kg (55 lb), and her weight has stayed in the normal range since. The road felt lonely, and the calorie trackers she tried felt like spreadsheets. So she built Calorize and its AI assistant Mira, who logs your food when you simply tell her what you ate, and who you can talk to about it. Lialia is not a doctor or a dietitian. She writes from lived experience and links to research for everything else.
