Food Cures is Now an App!

If you have an iPhone, I strongly encourage you to run (digitally, of course!) to the App Store and download my FREE app called Joy Bauer Food Cures. It’s the perfect complement to my new Food Cures website, which is brimming with sound nutrition and lifestyle advice for preventing and treating high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, migraines, and other common health conditions.


The goal of Food Cures is to customize a specific diet plan that takes into account your own personal health struggles. The app makes it easy to search for information by health condition, so you can quickly identify tips and advice that are most relevant to your life. Each condition includes a list of the best foods to eat and foods to avoid…so you know exactly what to eat to beat migraines, osteoporosis, IBS, and more. You’ll periodically be prompted to upgrade your app, and with each upgrade you can take advantage of the new conditions, content, and features we’ll be adding to the app — so stay tuned!


Every day, my app features a new tip highlighting the health benefits of one particular food — anything from Apricots to Zucchini. It’s super easy to browse through healthy tips from previous days, or search the food database to look up specific foods you want to know more about. The information is straightforward and “easy to digest” (pun intended!).


There’s also a Healthy Living tab, which offers advice on foods that can help you look younger, feel more energetic, and even live longer. Here, you’ll find tips for boosting mood, a guide to the best foods for thick, shiny hair, and my top ten list of superfoods. We’ve got you covered from head to toe!


You’ll also have access to a recipe index filled with quick, simple recipes that are tagged by condition, so you can select the healthiest meals based on your own personal health history. And, since the recipes are stored right in your phone, they’re easy to pull up when you’re at the grocery store shopping for ingredients. I love technology!


From the app, it’s easy to sign up for my weekly e-mail newsletter, which delivers even more health and nutrition information right to your inbox. You can also link directly to my website for access to even more nutrition and health information and to get started with finding your personal, customized Food Cure.


I hope you’ll download my new app, give it a try, and let me know what you think. I welcome your feedback!
