Dr. Joey's Newsletter - November 2016
Of all the autumn seasons we have had, this is truly one of the most beautiful I can remember. The leaves seem to be brighter than usual and we have had the most glorious sunny days.
Behind the scenes, my team and I are a bustling group filled with excitement. We are constantly testing new recipes, brainstorming on how to offer our Shulman Weight Loss clients the very best, getting ready for the Cityline weight loss challenge and hunting down the most amazing new natural products just for you! I think each nutritionist and staff member at drjoey.com would tell you we truly love what we do. Natural healthcare and clean eating is a passion that is the driving force for all of us. Each time we get to help someone lose weight, reach their health goals and feel healthy, happy and strong - it is a thrill.
