Name: Joy Bauer

Claim to Fame: You might recognize Joy Bauer from her regular appearances on NBC’s TODAY show as the program’s leading health and nutrition expert. But the busy wife and mother of three also hosts RLTV’s heartwarming show, Good Food, Good Deeds, serves as the exclusive nutritionist for the New York City Ballet, is a contributing editor to Woman’s Day Magazine, and has written numerous best-selling books, including The Joy Fit Club: Cookbook, Diet Plan & Inspiration and Joy Bauer’s Food Cures: Completely Revised & Updated. Because of her commitment to presenting reliable health information in a straightforward manner, Joy was recently honored with two prestigious awards: the 2010 National Media Excellence Award from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, as well as the 2012 American Society of Nutrition Science Media Award. Joy has devoted her life to improving the health of the nation, and her popular Joy Fit Club series on the TODAY Show—along with her new Joy Fit Club diet plan—inspires Americans across the country to eat better and lead healthier lives. She lives in New York City with her husband, Ian, and her three children.

Health Philosophy: “Life is hard, food should be easy.”  Joy’s goal is to make healthy eating as simple, delicious and affordable as possible so everyone can reap the benefits.

Vitamins/Supplements: Multivitamin with 1000 IUs Vitamin D + Omega 3 Fish Oils (1000mg/day)

Favorite Workout: Whether it’s stand-up paddleboarding, ATVing or Barry’s Bootcamp classes, Joy is always looking to mix up her workout routine and try new activities.

Motivational Tricks: “I've been doing this for so long that I'm basically on automatic pilot. No motivation needed… it’s just how I fly,” Joy says. “But that being said, I do go off the beaten path occasionally, and when this happens I make sure to enjoy every delicious bite!”

Favorite Healthy Dish: Joy’s favorite weeknight meal is her healthy, unfried chicken Parmesan. Says Joy, “I layer grilled chicken breasts with marinara sauce, reduced-fat mozzarella, and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and broil until the cheese melts.”

Secret Weapon: Joy’s secret to healthy living? “Having a positive attitude,” she says.
