My joy-seeking journey began in 2018. I had just graduated from college and landed a job on the trading floor of a Manhattan bank. Everything felt up-and-up until a year later when my father very suddenly passed away. Heartbroken and distressed, I had little time to grieve. The stress of keeping up with “daily life”—waking up early, exercising, working, maintaining a social life, networking, seeing family, even walking my dog–left me completely burned out.

Then, Covid hit. 

Those of us who were lucky enough to work from home and hold onto our jobs did, but pressure to perform only increased. My health began to decline. Test after test yielded no medical diagnosis. I relied on coffee and antidepressants to get me through the day. Later I would learn that the excess of both had created a surplus in my system and causing more harm than good.

The time came for me to approach the healing I needed to do from a different direction.

I finally decided to put myself first. I quit my job to minimize stress and began to pore over research. What I found changed the way I thought about health forever. 

I learned that nature produces compounds that mitigate the body’s stress response and increase energy–at the same time. Though many cultures have known this for centuries, knowledge and use among Americans was uncommon—I was mesmerized.

It was then I saw the wheel didn’t need reinventing–just a little rejiggering, and that’s when JoyShot was born. Each bottle contains an easy-to-drink elixir, precisely dosed for maximum efficacy, that imparts energy while protecting the body from the negative effects of stress—to support you now and well into the future.

The arc of my story is not unique, but led me here: To JoyShot, and to the belief that we all deserve a little support, a lot of balance, and even more joy.
