We recently connected with Joy Feldman and have shared our conversation below.
Joy, appreciate you joining us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.
Thirty-one years ago, I had my first encounter with mineral balancing and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA). At the time, I had no idea the profound impact it would have on my life. I was battling a debilitating autoimmune disease that left me virtually paralyzed from the neck down. With a two-year-old child I couldn’t properly care for, I faced the harsh reality that I didn’t want to spend my life in poor health.
At that time, I was working as a corporate lawyer, accustomed to 100-hour work weeks, constantly pushing myself to the limit. But when traditional approaches to managing my condition failed, I decided to give mineral balancing a try. It was a turning point I hadn’t expected.
Within a few months of following a personalized nutritional balancing program, my blood work returned to normal, and my vitality slowly returned. After trying numerous nutritional protocols over the years, only mineral balancing had a transformative effect on my health.
This life-changing experience led me to leave law behind and step into the world of holistic health, where I found my true calling.

Joy, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I’m Joy Feldman, and my journey into the field of nutrition and wellness began with my own personal battle with an autoimmune disease. At one point, I was nearly paralyzed from the neck down and unable to care for my two-year-old child. After trying countless treatments and diets without success, I discovered an individualized nutritional balancing program that completely transformed my health. Within months, my blood work normalized, and I regained my vitality and strength. That experience ignited a passion in me to help others reclaim their health through the power of nutrition and healing.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
When Joy first embarked on her healing journey, she had no idea where it would lead. Battling an autoimmune disease that left her nearly paralyzed from the neck down, she faced overwhelming daily challenges. With a two-year-old child she could barely care for, she realized she didn’t want to live this way—ill and unable to be the mother and person she desired.
After trying various diets and nutritional programs without success, she discovered an individualized nutritional balancing program. Within months, her blood work normalized, and her vitality began to return. This approach was the only one that made a real difference in her recovery.
Her resilience not only restored her health but sparked a passion to help others. Having overcome her own illness, she now shares her knowledge, showing others that healing is possible with determination and the right approach.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?
Aside from training and knowledge, emotional intelligence is crucial for success in my field. It’s essential to understand not just the science behind health, but also the emotional and psychological factors affecting each client. Emotional intelligence allows you to discern the unspoken needs and challenges they may be facing and helps build a deeper trust and connection.
In addition, self-awareness is key. Being able to tap into your own emotions and experiences helps you communicate effectively and compassionately. It allows you to tailor your approach to each individual, recognizing that no two clients are the same.
Adaptability is another essential skill. As clients progress, their needs may shift, and being flexible enough to adjust the approach ensures the best outcomes. Success in this field also requires patience and persistence, both with your clients and with yourself as you navigate the complexities of each unique case.
Lastly, strong intuition plays a role. While data and evidence are critical, trusting your instincts and listening to the nuances in a client’s story can sometimes reveal the missing piece that leads to a breakthrough.
