Does Joy have any personal experience with the conditions she supports? 

Joy refers to this as having experience from “both sides of the clinical desk“.

“My professional foundation in Dietetics and Human Nutrition was built on a rigorous review of the academic literature—an approach that eventually provided me with the framework to address my own clinical challenges, having developed obesity, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. Being able to resolve these health issues using an evidence-based approach provided me with additional tools to help my clients do the same. The metabolic side was only one part of a complex puzzle. Eight years ago, I was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). I also spent over a decade navigating symptoms with only limited testing, before finally being diagnosed three and a half years ago with hypothyroidism.

Understanding things from both sides of the clinical desk drives me to find evidence-based solutions for my clients who are navigating similarly complex situations.

The first area I am passionate about is the prevention of type 2 diabetes—and helping my clients achieve remission, if already diagnosed. Many people are unaware that this is both possible and sustainable.

I am dedicated to advocating for my clients who have symptoms that may be consistent with hypothyroidism or subclinical hypothyroidism to obtain adequate testing.

Providing specialized support to clients navigating the complex “trifecta” of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS(h)), and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is my third passion.”
