The Low Carb Healthy Fat Dietitian

Getting to know Joy has been such a pleasure. Her manner in talking to and educating me as a client has been so appreciated. This past year we’ve had covid and restrictions in what we can do and where we can go. This added to already having existing health issues resulted for me in a significant increase in weight which in itself further complicated my health issues. I contacted Joy early in 2021 and got a very quick response. On our first virtual appointment she was warm and encouraging. Having read her own story I was equally encouraged that here was someone who ACTUALLY knew how I was feeling, including all the head stuff that goes on with being overweight. As a former Critical care nurse, I was impressed with Joy’s knowledge and experience and the depths to which she had educated herself in order to be able to fully explore all options for her clients. She has up-to-date science-based knowledge about nutrition and how the body is also affected by pre-existing conditions making it not always responsive to a simple reduction in calorie intake compared to calories burned resulting in weight loss.In dealing with what I needed to do she took into account my history, my current health status and what I wanted to achieve. She was honest but kind and confident that working together, if I followed her guidelines I would be able to achieve a goal that I would be happy with. I came away also feeling confident that the meal plans she had put together for my body were not only something I was looking forward to commencing but that I could actually do without feeling like I was going to starve to death or be heavily restricted while on this journey back to feeling healthy . I also like the idea that I can make plans with her through her various packages to go back and tweak things as we go along if that is necessary. Joy is an example herself of her own system. She’s living proof it works and that also encourages me to dive in and make a disciplined effort to make it work for me.Joy has the qualifications and experience to make her a safe and honest option for help if you need to turn your life and health around through good nutrition with a sensible approach containing no fluff or crazy expensive non food supplements that I so often see from other “professionals” claiming a somewhat quick fix to being overweight. There is no magic bullet. It requires commitment and discipline. If you’re willing to put in the work, Joy will be there to cheer you on and guide your way.I’m grateful to be under her care for the next, how ever long this takes me to achieve my goals.Thanks Joy.

I was very lucky to stumble across the services of Joy Kiddie - The Low Carb Healthy Fat Dietitian. After reading about her approach to eating and health I felt she would be a good fit to help me turn my health around, and after meeting her I knew I was right. Joy is very thorough in working to understand her client's health, while still being encouraging and personable. The fact that she has been through this journey herself allows her to truly relate to her clients. She has created a healthy eating plan for me and I am looking forward to where it takes me. I will certainly be working with Joy again in the future.

Dr. Joy was extremely knowledgeable, professional and also a pleasure to work with. She made me feel safe and comfortable right off the bat. She did an incredible job creating a meal plan that was customized to my food preferences, health history, lifestyle, workouts and most importantly to my body's needs (based on a blood test). She was also very efficient and helped me maximize our time. And she was very caring in the way she walked through results and recommendations. She equipped me with a simple and practical plan that I felt confident I could incorporate into my life. I also walked away feeling encouraged and motivated. This was a really great investment I made for myself and I would highly recommend her!

Joy was a pleasure to talk to and answered the questions I had with easy-to-understand, knowledgeable, an empathetic responses. She's a great listener which enabled her to come right to the point and provide practical and realistic approaches to my concerns. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone trying to enhance the results from a ketogenic or low carb way of eating!

Working with Joy remotely was super easy and interactive. She was able to walk me through all the questions I had and offer sound knowledge with proper studies to further my understanding. Joy absolutely takes pride in her work, and will do what she can to provide you the services you request. Very happy with my interaction with her, and would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking to better themselves. Thank you, Joy!

I worked with Joy 2 month ago.Age 33, fasting glucose, insulin were sky high & have Hypothyroid. after 1.5 months my sugars were normal, started loosing weight, thyroid medicine dose decreased.Worked with Joy on the meal plan which was customized with my eating habits, life style which was key to make good progress.She likes making people's life better, she cares and has passion to do so. She gave me a clear picture of where I am right now and how it's going to end in next few years if not paid attention to. She was the perfect mentor and motivator by giving holistic view of your blood work.

Really fantastic! Joy is more than competent to counsel in this area from both training and personal experience. I had the opportunity to utilize her expertise for nutrition education. She used a straightforward step wise approach starting with a detailed health and life questionnaire, including most recent lab values. At that point, we spoke in person via Doximity video to review the initial questionnaire and discuss more details on lifestyle, eating habits and other important details. For me, I have a career with a very unpredictable schedule and frequent changes in day/night shift work. She then translated all of these inputs into a practical plan to which then we met again via video to review her findings, recommendations and plan. I have now started the plan. In short, Joy is knowledgeable, fun and kind and I highly recommend her!

Joy’s help was so appreciated! She has helped me get back on track and tweak my keto diet lifestyle. After a few years of being on keto for weight loss and as a way to reduce migraines, I had slowly made too many exceptions and needed help to get back on track. I quickly felt at ease with Joy. As I shared my struggles there was no shaming, just genuine understanding. I love the plan she developed and then tweaked for me and look forward to meeting with her as I need further adaptations in the months ahead.

As both a health care professional and an individual in need of a dietitian's services, I was very pleased with Joy Kiddie's initial and ongoing consultations. Her recommendations are personalized, evidence-based, very well-organized, and easy to follow. Joy is both straightforward and supportive in her approach, which I very much appreciated. She also very patiently assisted me with my own tech challenges and made the online experience positive and effective. I highly recommend Joy!
