Joy is the creator of JoyBauer.com and the author of 12 New York Times best-selling books.

The book is also the inspiration behind Joy’s latest PBS special.

In the earlier part of her career, Joy was the Director of Nutrition and Fitness for the Department of Pediatric Cardiology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, as well as the clinical dietitian for their neurosurgical team.
