Professional Perspective: Both Sides of the Clinical Desk
I’ve been in private practice for 18 years, and in 2017, my own health challenges of having obesity, severe hypertension, and type 2 diabetes resulted in me consulting the academic literature to resolve my own health issues using an evidence-based approach. This experience provided me with additional tools to support my clients.
Metabolic health was only one part of my own complex health puzzle. In 2019, I was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), of which Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is one type. At the time, I did a great deal of reading in the academic literature on this topic and have kept abreast of the literature about MCAS and the related conditions of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and Postural Orthostatic Hypotension (POTS). You can learn about the services I provide for hEDS, MCAS, and POTS.
My own clinical adventures weren’t yet over. In retrospect, I had navigated the symptoms of hypothyroidism before finally being diagnosed, which has since enabled me to provide empathetic support to my clients as they navigate their own diagnosis and treatment.

Joy’s Media & Speaking Gallery
My mission has always been to bridge the gap between academic research and its application in the real world. Over the years, I have been invited to share my perspective on a dietary approach to the management of chronic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension (high blood pressure), and I have done so from “both sides of the clinical desk” across numerous podcasts and virtual summits. I also recently presented at the University of Toronto and Diabetes Canada about the safety and efficacy of the therapeutic use of low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets. To hear these conversations and see my recent academic presentations, visit the Media & Speaking gallery.
