Why Now

Staying healthy isn't easy. There isn't one person that doesn't want to live a healthy life. The truth is, that not all people have had the same opportunity to learn how to live one. From choosing the right food to eat to having access to quality healthcare, challenges are in front of most people that prevent them from living an optimal healthy life.

Years ago, the pandemic changed a lot about how we live and how we think about our health. Millions of Americans decided to play a more active role in their health care.

Telemedicine played a vital role in providing a path to getting healthcare without making a trip to the doctors office. In rural areas, where a trip to the doctor was often a long trip, telemedicine played even a larger role in getting people the healthcare they needed.

Telemedicine has provided a direct path to getting care for primary care along with care for specialized conditions. In most cases, people that have insurance have used it as a faster path to getting seen by a medical provider and getting access to medications without the hassle or waiting and sometimes price of going through insurance.

In the past few years, weight loss medications have been introduced a new way of losing weight effectively. We have a belief that these medications should be available to everyone due to the huge positive impacts that they have on a persons health.

Obesity has had devastating consequences on health. Billions of dollars from the government has been used to combat it. It leads to increases in healthcare costs and higher insurance premiums.

The consequences on us are even worse. Shortened life spans, diabetes, asthma and quality of life are just to name a few. There's a lot more we don't know about the true consequences of carrying extra weight.

Billions of dollars also work against us daily with unhealthy marketing messages from food giants. Not to mention, lax regulations compared to other countries on food additives and preservatives.

It's one of the reasons why JOY MD was launched. To help combat everything that works against us from living a healthly life by providing easy access to affordable medications to help us live a happier, healthier, longer life.
