Joy, what has been the greatest challenge you've had thus far in your career – and how did you overcome it? Learning to say NO. I sometimes have a hard time passing on opportunities - there are so many exciting projects that I’m offered, and I love to try new things. The downside, of course, is I find that I’m working 24/7 to meet deadlines and complete my work, leaving me little to no time to spend with my family. One of the most difficult decisions I made years ago was walking away from a thriving private practice, which I loved, because my media career had started to take off. But I wanted to have more time to be home with my family. It was a tough decision but absolutely the right one. Joy’s latest book, just released in October 2018, is Joy’s Simple Food Remedies. In the book, she highlights some of the most powerful natural, holistic cures for 20 common everyday ailments (easing aches and pains, combating colds and flu, reducing stress and anxiety, managing high blood pressure, etc.!) and serves up more than 60 mouth-watering recipes featuring these “feel-good” remedies. The book is available via Amazon and Barnes and Noble. LEARN MORE: http://joybauer.com facebook.com/JoyLBauer @joybauer @joybauer © Dietitian Connection 12 Infuse | December 2018
