She’s the best-selling author of seven books on food and nutrition—including her latest, Food Cures—the nutrition expert for the Today show and the nutritionist for the New York City Ballet.
Living in New York City with her husband and three children, Joy Bauer has got a lot on her plate. But that doesn’t stop her from planning meals to keep her bones—or those of her loved ones—healthy. “I always think about my bone health—especially because of my mom, and my size.”
Joy knows she has two significant risk factors for osteoporosis: One is her petite size—she’s 5 feet tall and camera-trim. "I’m small but mighty!” Joy jokes. The other is her genetic predisposition to the disease. Her mom has low bone mineral density. In fact, she takes medication for it.
Luckily, her bone density tests have improved over recent years, because of the bone med, sure—but also thanks to the tiptop nutrition tips, including these, that Joy gives her to help her feed her bones well!
