Holistic Nutrition

Joy McCarthy Certified Holistic Nutritionist & Coach, CNP

Joy’s journey to health began in her late teens when she suffered from hormonal balance which caused an array of unpleasant health issues. After three years searching in the traditional medical system for the cure to balance her hormones, she decided to take the responsibility of her health into her own hands and this is when everything changed. Through her own research, visiting a Nutritionist and Naturopathic Doctor, changing her diet and adopting a dietary supplement program, she successfully balanced her hormones and as a result, now feels her absolute best ever.

Joy spent the first six years of her career in the corporate world while educating herself on nutrition and holistic healing. She understands the demands that a high stress job can place on an individual and gives her clients practical lifestyle recommendations in addition to nutrition coaching. A graduate of the Institute of Holistic Nutrition and a Holistic Lifestyle Coach she learned how foods can be our medicine or our poison and how to develop nutritional plans unique to each individual.

Every cell in the human body is built from the raw materials we eat and every person is biochemically unique. The more suitable our food choices are to our specific requirements (pregnancy, prevention of disease, aging, vegetarianism, weight concerns, etc.) the better cell structures we can build. This knowledge has inspired Joy’s passion for educating her clients how to eat well to achieve optimal health. When you are empowered to take responsibility for your health in your own hands, this is when you can achieve healing, weight loss, energy and vitality.
