Nutrition Coaching
“Joy is truly an inspirational and amazing person. Since I’ve started seeing her as a nutritionist I’ve noticed nothing but positive changes. I feel incredible, I have energy all day. I owe all of this to Joy. She is very knowledgeable and knows just how to set up a solid nutrition program you can follow for life. Joy is kind, never pushy, compassionate, and really truly wants to help you feel your best. Her recipes are great as well. I never thought gluten free banana bread would be such a huge hit in my house but EVERYONE loves it!” Candice S,  Med Student

“Joy has been my nutritionist for a few months now and I love her approach to healthy eating. She’s helped me let go of the guilt many of us feel when we get off track and she’s encouraged me to make small changes over time instead of overwhelming me with rules. It’s a pleasure every time we meet and I always leave feeling inspired. And she even encourages me to eat dark chocolate!”
Stephanie N, TV Network Social Media Guru

“Joy has changed the way I think about the food I eat at different times of the day. I have increased energy and focus since beginning my eating plan with her. Her food combination ideas are brilliant and her recipes are so easy. I would recommend Joy’s grocery store tour as well – you will never look at the grocery store the same way!” Emily R. Spa Owner

“Joy is my nutritionist, and she is amazing! She has helped me understand what my body needs in order to feel my best. She helped me lower my sugar intake, and now it’s like a fog has been lifted… I feel more awake, with stable energy levels throughout the day. She is also the most pleasant person to be around. I highly recommend her“. Dee D., Account Manager, Marketing

“Joy professionally answers all my nutrition/health questions every time we get together. Before her help, I felt very overwhelmed by all the misinformation out there. I look forward to participating in the nutrition/yoga class Joy works with, as well. She is a beautiful soul who puts her heart and head into helping people!!!” Patricia R. Retired Dental Assistant

“I have learned an enormous amount about nutrition and health since I have been working with Joy. Her recommendations have been easy to follow and I have seen results in the way I look and feel. Her knowledge of nutrition and fitness (and how they interact) has been extremely helpful I make my food choices each day.” Robert S. Investment Banker

“I worked with Joy to improve my nutritional habits. Quite simply, she was amazing, and inspired me to pursue the field of holistic nutrition.” Jennifer T. Admin Assistant

“My wife and I have both worked with Joy for several months. Her suggestions have been excellent and both of us now have more energy and feel better thanks to her suggestions regarding good foods to eat and exercise ideas. Joy is a delightful person to work with. She gives her advice in a very friendly manner – never “preaches” at us. We are both in our 60’s and expect to live for a long long time thanks to her! I would highly recommend using her services.” Mike M. Small Business Owner

“I first contacted Joy when I came from Scotland to work on a Toronto project. What was to be a weekly training session to ensure I got some relaxation and exercise, quickly developed into a journey which significantly improved my health, energy and general well-being. Joy, as a Nutritionist and Personal Trainer, become a valued friend, always ready with encouragement, advice, tips and even tasty recipes (and samples!).  A year later I returned to Scotland, 30lbs lighter, still a bit of a work-a-holic, but glowing with health and a more balanced commitment to a healthier life. Joy still encourages and inspires me from across the pond. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and will be a priority booking anytime I return to Toronto. I  highly recommend her to you.”

Irene M, Healthcare Business Development Director

“I have been a client for two years over which time my fitness and health have improved dramatically. I lost 20lbs, changed my diet, stopped smoking completely and continue to increase my level of fitness and physical activity. Joy helped me to make changes to my diet by providing menu ideas and education about different foods and how they are processed by my body. I now know what I should eat, how much and when. Joy also provided guidance on the use of supplements to improve my overall health. She encouraged me and assisted me in making difficult lifestyle changes. Tobacco is one of the hardest addictions to get free of because nicotine is so addictive and cigarettes are engineered to deliver nicotine and class A carcinogens into the bloodstream so efficiently. Detoxing from many years of tobacco  addiction was a long process which required Joy’s special knowledge and guidance. When it comes to fitness, Joy is an excellent motivator. She makes exercise fun and pushes me to reach my potential. I did very little physical activity before I started training with Joy and now I do regular resistance training, run half marathons, do long distance cycling and am currently training to become a competitive swimmer. If you are looking to transform yourself by getting rid of bad habits and making better choices, I highly recommend Joy’s array of wellness services as a way of developing a happy and healthy lifestyle.” Sydney S, Vice President Operations

“Living on my own and working long hours I had no idea how to cook or what food to buy, I always ended up eating a bowl of cereal for dinner. Joy introduced me to the wonderful world of fast healthy meals. By Joy taking me grocery shopping, and then showing me how to cook (for one person), it completely changed my way of eating and I have more energy than ever before.”

Corporate Wellness Workshops

“I recently attended a talk given by Joy McCarthy, Nutritionist & Fitness Coach. The talk was given in a corporate setting with about thirty attendees. The purpose of the talk was to provide the group, of mixed levels of health and fitness, with information to make them healthier, happier employees based on Joy’s philosophy: “eat well | live well | be well.

I found Joy to be a total delight. She was outgoing, enthusiastic, playful, humorous and most important extremely informative. Joy presented a large number of useful tips to quickly and easily improve ones health and well being. The information was simple and easy to follow. Joy gave concrete examples and visually clear examples of her insightful recommendations.

Although I have been a fitness volunteer for over 25 years at the YMCA of Greater Toronto and have as a result, attended many trainings and workshops over that time period, I still found Joy’s information to be topical, current, informative and very very useful. She certainly is an example of eating well, living well and being well.” Sid F, Sales & Marketing Manager

Joy recently conducted a wellness seminar for a group of professional women at our office. She was incredibly knowledgeable and presented us with information that was meaningful, well-researched, and relevant for us an audience. Joy was engaging and facilitated a great discussion. Most importantly, she provided very realistic suggestions: her list of ten tips is actionable and will help us go far towards improving our health and well-being. Nina M, Associate Consultant

Your visit to our office last month was sincerely appreciated by all staff!  Your presentation was lively, intuitive, very knowledgeable and certainly held everyone’s interest regardless of their age and health condition.  Your information had a huge impact not only on morale but on health matters in general and sparked some very serious and positive changes.  I understand that many, including myself, are also now following your Facebook and Tweets.   Thank you and looking forward to the next one.
