I found Joy Feldman by accident around the end of August 2008 when I was desperate to find a way to get myself fixed and in good health. I went on line and was looking for a Yoga class near work so I could take classes, (not that I would have been able to do the yoga in the shape I was in anyway). I was 336 lbs at age 54 and I had just got my blood test results from my doctor that said I was on the verge of diabetes, I was on cholesterol medication, I had edema in my legs, I had a fatty liver, and I could barely walk without being out of breath. I was desperate to find something. I was a lifetime Weight Watcher but it just wasn't working for me any more. I prayed that God would lead me to something or someone who would get me the help I needed before I ate myself to death.

The place I saw on the internet said that this was a diversified place that had had yoga, chiropractics, reflexology, and a number of other services. Something kept drawing me back to this place after I called a few other places, so I decided to call. I spoke to a woman and told her my history and she said I wouldn't be able to do the yoga right away but she had just the person that could help me with my health and weight issues.

When I spoke to Joy I knew that she would be able to help me just by hearing her kind, spiritual, and friendly voice. We met and talked for quite a while. She immediately wanted me to start on a food program even before she got the hair samples done. I wasn't quite sure I would be able to do this program because it didn't leave any room for the junk and sugar items I was use to having, but I said I would give it a try. After a week I started to feel a difference in my body. By the time she sent the samples of hair out I was really feeling a difference. I wasn't as tired and sluggish as before. I was sleeping so much better at night. Before I would never go into a sound sleep so I would get up in the morning exhausted. I was happier and more energetic than I had been in years.

When the hair results came in and we went over them I realized what a mess my body was really in. I was willing to do whatever Joy wanted me to do to get well. She gave me a list of foods I could eat and how I should eat every day. I read the hundreds of pages of articles she sent me on anything that had to do with getting well and educating me about so many foods and products that are bad for us. I had my husband build me a sauna that Joy told me would greatly help me sweat out the toxins from my skin and I am taking the supplements she had me buy that my body was lacking.

It has been about 11 weeks since I started Joy's program and I have lost 32 lbs, which is about 3 lbs a week. I look like I lost more than that because the bloat that I was carrying around from eating wheat and white flour was down quite a bit. My blood work has improved as well. My glucose went from 124 to 104. My cholesterol went from 150-108. I am now off my cholesterol medication .My LDL's (bad cholesterol) dropped from 79.6 to 54.8. I had a fatty liver and now that is gone. My liver functions are now all normal. I feel like a new person and I don't want to go back to the way I was ever again. It isn't worth it. I look at what other people are eating and I hear and see what commercials and ads say about some food items and I know they are lying. I want to tell every one that a lot of the foods they are eating are killing them and they don't know it. But like me, sometimes you have to hit bottom before you hear anyone. I feel like I want to have everyone feel like I do. Joy has been there with me through all this. She calls me to see how I am doing if I haven't called her first and keeps encouraging me and reminding me where I came from. She is my Angel in disguise.

As a person who always had strived to be healthy and fit, something was horribly wrong with the way I felt. I was extremely tired, stressed, anxious, and struggling to lose weight I had gained during a particularly stressful time. On a particularly anxious day, I decided to try a new yoga studio looking for more meditation than my previous one incorporated. I walked into the studio and promptly met Joy Feldman. I confided to her my anxiousness and she promptly told me to get off soy and wheat products,(something I ate alot of) thinking they were good for me. Within one week, I was feeling like my old self and continued with a hair analysis. The transformation is indescribable.After receiving my results, Joy worked with me to find my optimal diet.

I have found that that seeing the results of the analysis has enabled me to understand my body and what works for me and what doesn't. It makes it much easier to decide whether or not I am going to put something in my body or not. This is not a diet, it is a way of life and a big investment in your future health. There is a lot of misinformation out there and Joy Feldman helped me sort through it all.

I have been a firefighter in a fairly large city for the past 20 years. During that time I have seen and been through many disturbing and scary moments. On March 19, 2007 I responded to a 3-story house that was involved in fire. I was told that someone was inside so a fellow firefighter and myself had carried out at search and rescue. During this attempt we both were trapped on a third floor bedroom, ran out of air and were rescued just as the flames were behind us.

After that incident I began having emotional and physical problems. I was depressed and began having muscle twitches and other physical impairments. This is when I started taking anti depressant and stomach medication that made me feel even worse. My family and friends were very supportive but that wasn't enough. I went to many doctors and they ran test after test with no answers. At this time a lifelong friend of mine asked me if I have ever had my hair tested. I really never heard of such a thing. This is where I met Joy Feldman for the first time. I had my hair tested and they discovered heavy metal in my body that is undetectable during blood tests. After getting my results Joy had formulated a plan for me.

Joy then started me out on a new diet, supplement regimen, daily exercise and daily saunas. I began to improve and my mental and physical state was much better. It has been almost nine months since I began this program. Although all of my physical problems have not left me I do feel that I am making some real progress thanks to Joy. I am in the best shape physically since the early 90's thanks to my new lifestyle. If you want to feel better and start living again listen to Joy.

Her care doesn't stop during our meetings. She constantly calls or emails me just to ask how I am doing. I am now a better person and my family and I are very grateful.

Her caring demeanor and positive attitude has helped me not to give up and to keep trying. I am lucky that I have met her and thanks to her, my outlook is bright. Without her support and knowledge I couldn't be where I am today.

By the middle of June 2008, I had to stop my beloved job as a dental hygienist because my finger joints were so swollen and painful. I was also totally fatigued, and I thought this was from not sleeping. I was taking over the counter anti-inflammatory medication, but I could hardly move from the stiffness and pain. In addition, I was depressed, had anxiety and restless leg syndrome. I was ultimately diagnosed with Polymyalgia rhuematica. My daughter recommended that I find a holistic practitioner to help me. I was referred to Joy. I called her immediately and I felt as though Hope began!

After I spoke to Joy, I felt a sense of relief and inspiration. Joy shared her story with me and other stories as well. With the information she gave me, I realized my diet was full of inflammatory agents and I needed to start with that. She took a sample of my hair to send off for analysis. I started a diet free of wheat, sugar, soy and carbohydrates. Hope inspired!

Taking the supplements, and following the diet have really helped. My blood tests have shown my body is improving. My energy has returned, my depression gone, as well as my anxiety and panic attacks. Even my restless leg syndrome has disappeared.

The medical profession doesn't know what to do about my problem except prescribe prednisone and pain medications. But what I have learned, is that my biochemistry is amiss. With dedication to my healthy diet, taking the supplements required by hair sample results, getting rest and having Joy in there rooting me on and helping me understand, I will have whole body health. My immune system will function better; I will have no disease to fight because I will be strong when I am tuned for health. Hope is real.
