The Total Package
“This program has given me a sense of renewal physically, mentally and emotionally. It is transforming me through nutrition, exercise and mindfulness. The recipes are healthy, easy to prepare and above all taste delicious! I enjoy preparing the meals and tasting how good they are. The exercise program is low impact and a bit challenging but not overly strenuous. I also enjoy the mindfulness tips. Meditation calms my mind and walking refreshes and energizes me. Thanks Joy. Your program has helped to substantially reduce my sugar cravings. Transformed and rejuvenated, I feel invigorated, peaceful and at home in body, mind and spirit!”

A much loved & top-rated program... see what they had to say!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I am so glad I signed up! I’ve enjoyed sharing in the Facebook group. I've enjoyed the workouts. Sometimes getting me out of my comfort zone (hello plank). I'm also happy the program has gotten me to expand the food I eat and reintroduce ones I thought I couldn’t digest. I've been proven wrong and my digestion has been better than it has been in years. Very happy and I've found some new recipes that I will use often. This has been exactly what I needed.”
Mary
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I have loved making the recipes and surprisingly my family is liking many of them. The plan is easy to use and allows for multiple meals to be made at once. There is a great variety of activity and food so that there is something for anyone. A great well rounded program.”
Joanne
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I have been really happy with the program. It came at the right time when I wanted to make changes. I love the the FB group and find it a great forum to share thoughts and ideas. The mindfulness is a godsend and it has changed my routine in the morning and thinking. Overall would highly recommend this program. Plus, Joy is excellent at jumping in to add comments for issues as they come up. She shows her commitment to what she does rather than focusing on her work being solely a commercial enterprise… so refreshing.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Registration is now open! Sign up today and start right away!
Yes, it absolutely is! The daily mindfulness challenge is only 5-10 minutes, we recommend you do two workouts each week which are only 30 minutes, and the recipes are pretty simple as well.
On a daily basis, the time commitment is probably 30-40 minutes. Some days it’s more and some days it’s less, but the goal is to make these habits a lifestyle that you continue after the program is over.
Yes! Whether you’re a health nut at heart or you feel like you need a mind and body reset, this program will help you make this year your healthiest, happiest year yet! If you’re new to the nutrition world, then you will love my nutrition Zoom classes and if you’ve been part of the Joyous Health community for a while, then you’ll be really into the new mindfulness and movement parts of this challenge, not to mention the delicious recipes!
Yes! All the recipes are kid-friendly (I have a 7 year old and the recipes have to be approved by her!). I’m not in favour of making more than one dinner, so the recipes suit a family or an individual perfectly!
There are two different meal plans we’ve created to help address this, vegan and omnivore! For any nut allergies in a household, you can easily substitute or remove nuts from the few recipes that call for them. All of the recipes are dairy-free, sugar-free, and gluten-free.
All of the meals are simple to make and include detailed instructions so any level of skill can make them. The ingredients used in the recipes are commonly found in grocery stores and health food stores or online!
While this challenge isn’t centred around weight loss specifically, the meal plans are focused on whole foods, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and plant-forward meals. This challenge is designed to help you feel your best and may help you achieve a healthier weight depending on your previous eating and movement habits.
Not to worry, the important thing is that you’re starting to implement movement into your daily life. No equipment is needed and all workouts are perfect for all levels of fitness. We’ve got modifications available so you are encouraged to workout at your own pace.
Once you register, you’ll be sent an email confirmation of your purchase. When the program begins you will be able to log into your Dashboard to access your videos. Please make sure that you register with an email address that you check regularly as you’ll also be sent emails and info about the program throughout the 21 days.
You have access to the video content for 1-year starting from January 1, 2023.
You may request a refund within 5 days of purchase. A $30 administration fee will be deducted from any refund.
