Michal Kortus · Founder PoLKoR

I create and curate.
You decide.

My name is Michal Kortus, I'm 30 and I grew up in Polanka nad Odrou — a small village near Ostrava where you learn that simple things have their value.

Obesity held me back for a long time — until my girlfriend gave me the push to change. I dived into expert literature, changed my view of the world and myself. Result? Minus 15 kg — and a completely different self-image.

From that PoLKoR was born — a piece of myself. Simple, honest recommendations without unnecessary fuss. The kind that life itself brought.

Who I am

Healthy lifestyle — without unnecessary compromise

The change opened doors to a world I knew almost nothing about. I started studying — nutrition, sleep, movement, self-care. And I quickly realised one thing: good information is hard to find. The internet is full of products, but what's actually worth it? I started creating my own overview. And eventually decided to share it.

PoLKoR runs on two tracks. I create my own digital products — guides, atlases, materials — which I sell directly here. Alongside that I carefully select and recommend products from trusted stores, where I earn a commission on affiliate links. In both cases one rule applies: only what I'd put my own name to ends up here.

Healthy lifestyle to me isn't about perfection — it's about making sensible decisions, consistently, day after day. I believe every person is the best expert on themselves, and that you carry all the keys to the solutions inside you. PoLKoR is here to help you find them.

🔬

Careful selection

Before I put anything here, I spend more time on it than I'd admit. I read reviews, check ingredients, click through sellers. Only what I'd buy myself without hesitation makes it to the site.

🎯

Direct communication

I have no interest in selling fairy tales. I write the way I talk — without unnecessary twists and touching stories. Either it makes sense or I won't tell you.

🤝

Transparency

Affiliate links are always labelled. I may earn a commission — you know that upfront. What I recommend here, I'd recommend without it too.

🌱

Consistency over perfectionism

I believe in small steps taken every day more than in big plans made once in a while. It works for me and I think it'll work for you too.

📦

Own creation

Besides curating I make my own things. Your own guide, Superfoods atlas, Sleep guide i appka Herbarium — I put together what I myself was missing and share it further. Minimalist but honest.

🏆

Verified stores

I don't collaborate with everyone who writes to me. I'd rather have fewer collaborations than throw you a link to a shop that disappears in a week.

About the project PoLKoR

How it all started

💡

Beginning

Personal turning point

Obesity held me back for a long time. Then my girlfriend came — and with her the push I needed. I dived into expert literature, changed my approach to food and movement. Result? Minus 15 kg and a completely different view of the world.

🌐

Website creation

PoLKoR it is anline

The more I studied — nutrition, sleep, movement — the more clearly I saw one problem: good information is hard to find. I started making my own overview. Then I decided to share it — and the PoLKoR website was born.

📦

First product

Your own guide

The first own digital bundle was born — a practical guide to healthy living: atlas of 150 superfoods, 22-week meal plan, consistency tracker and shopping list.

🔄

Rebuild

Fresh start

The site underwent a complete transformation — new design, cleaner direction. And with it new energy: actively seeking collaborations and partners who share the same values.

🟢

17. 6. 2026

Business launched

The site is running full steam. Payments via GoPay, Google indexes 122 pages, Herbarium has a paid gate. This is the day it stopped being a project and started being a business.

🚀

Now

Still growing

Added Herbarium — an app with a herb database, personal account and dozens of articles, plus eight free tools and calculators (BMR/TDEE, macros, fitness plan, sleep). The site keeps growing. The goal is to be a reliable guide for everyone who wants to live healthier — without unnecessary compromise.
