Hi, I’m Joy.
I grew up on a small farm outside of Boston, USA, where fresh food, hard work and early mornings were just part of life. With a mother who is a naturopathic doctor, I was introduced to holistic health and natural healing long before wellness became a trend.
I’ve been a health coach for over 20 years, where I’ve helped thousands of people, both online and in person, live healthier lives. And I kept noticing the same thing: people struggling with low energy, inflammation, and hormonal or metabolic issues were often dealing with digestive problems they’d overlooked for years.
It taught me that gut health is about so much more than digestion. It’s a crucial part of how we feel, function, and thrive.

Why I Created Joynside
Let’s face it, modern life isn’t always kind to our gut. Stress, rushed meals, processed foods, and medications like GLP-1s can all affect our digestive health.
After years of working with clients, navigating my own health journey, and learning alongside incredible medical doctors and healthcare specialists, I saw an opportunity to create something that addressed digestion more completely.
That’s how Joynside and our first formula, Digest7, came to life. A science-led approach that goes beyond digestive enzymes to support how we break down food, absorb nutrients, and maintain a healthy gut lining.
My mission is simple: to help more people feel good in their bodies, without making gut health so complicated.
Because life is better when you digest better. And that’s what I call joy inside.
