We had the good fortune of connecting with Joelle Fox and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Joelle, as a parent, what have you done for you children that you feel has had the most significant impact?
As a parent, you naturally want the best for your children, and one of the most impactful gifts you can give them is prioritizing not only their health and fitness but your own as well. My husband and I aim to live the lifestyle we envision for our children. As a naturopathic physician, I recognize that fitness, nutrition, and healthy habits are the cornerstones of longevity. Without health, no wealth can truly be enjoyed.

We actively involve our kids in physical activities like going to the gym, hiking, biking, or simply playing outside at the park, helping them develop a love for exercise. We also engage them in cooking to teach them the value of healthy eating and making nutritious choices. By living these values ourselves, we believe we are setting a strong foundation for their long-term well-being.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I always knew I wanted to be a physician, following in my father’s footsteps, but my personal health struggles as a child solidified that desire. I dealt with persistent GI issues for years, going through countless tests and treatments without ever receiving a clear diagnosis or lasting relief. It wasn’t until I discovered naturopathic medicine in college—focused on treating the whole person and finding the root cause—that I finally found answers. With just a few simple dietary changes and supplements, the symptoms I had suffered from since childhood disappeared.

That experience set me on the path to becoming a naturopathic physician over a decade ago. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of diagnosing, treating, and helping many patients heal when traditional options seemed to fail. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is hearing patients say they finally feel better after a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

What sets me apart is my diverse background, which includes working with orthopedic patients, supporting weight loss, performing regenerative procedures, and focusing on health optimization. Today, my practice is primarily centered around hormone optimization, peptide therapy, weight loss, and regenerative medicine, allowing me to use a wide range of modalities to help others heal and thrive.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the unwavering support of my family and friends. They’ve been a constant source of encouragement, helping me grow into the doctor, wife, mother, and friend I’ve become. I’m also grateful to the trainers at M1, especially Shane and Mik, for nurturing my passion for strength training and creating opportunities for my family to join in on our fitness journey.

A special shoutout goes to my mentors, Dr. Mona Morstein and Dr. Ferra Swan, for their invaluable guidance and support in shaping me into the naturopathic physician I am today.
