Personal Trainer
In the months preparing for her wedding in May 2017, Joy-Anna’s fans noticed she began dropping her weight rapidly and seemed to be healthier, happier, and more energetic. She didn’t respond until well past after the birth of her son in February 2018. In addition, Joy-Anna began losing weight again and quickly reached her pre-pregnancy weight. Even though she hasn’t stated that she used Optavia for her transformation which was a meal kit plan e.g. a pre-packed food company, her followers quickly followed the hints.
It just happened because the mother-in-law of her husband’s sister was the contact for the company, which led fans to believe that she was simply promoting the product. In response, Joy-Anna clarified that she was not paid or incentivized to promote the brand at all. She added that it was her own satisfaction with the results that motivated her to help people in a similar situation as her. In addition, as a lover of nature, she leads an active life alongside her husband, which helped her stay in shape.
