The Joy Prescription!
Hello Dear One,
As a trailblazing integrative physician, wife, mother of three and business owner, I’ve experienced my share of chronic stress, struggle, loss and grief, as well as fatigue, weight gain and brain fog from overwork and sleep deprivation. I am no stranger to the soul crushing pain of anxiety and depressive symptoms. However, for over a decade I’ve been on my own healing journey, walking with Jesus and incorporating the latest scientific breakthroughs in functional medicine into my lifestyle.
You should know that I’m not perfect. I don’t have all the answers. I make mistakes and have bad days, just like everyone else. But I am committed to living an authentic life of service and bringing you the very best of what I’m learning and living.
While I may not yet know the details of YOUR story and unique situation, I am confident that complete healing in Christ is a possibility for you.
You were designed for so much more!
There is relief on the other side of your suffering. And perhaps more importantly, you can experience peace and joy right now in the midst of the storm. I invite you to read on and discover how to transform stress, anxiety and depression and write your very own Joy Prescription!
Cynthia Libert, M.D.
Functional Medicine Physician & Founder of the Joy Prescription
What is the Joy Prescription?
The Joy Prescription is the gift that God gave me to facilitate my own healing from overwhelming stress, anxiety and depression. It has evolved into my personal mission to help others recover from mood disorders, build resilience and live life to the fullest.

The Joy Prescription is a way of life.
I’ve condensed decades of medical education, clinical experience and personal/spiritual growth into a unique, on-line educational platform for helping you to uncover the reversible drivers of depression, anxiety, overwhelm, fatigue and brain fog.
You’ll learn about a new paradigm of mental health care, and I will personally guide you through the process of creating your own Joy Prescription, including a healthy lifestyle blueprint.
You’ll discover that it is possible to shed your diagnosis, prescription medications and symptoms…safely and naturally!
I’ve distilled 25+ years of learning, clinical experience and teaching into creating the Joy Prescription for you.
The Joy Prescription is a labor of love,
a unique blend of my two great passions:
helping people care for their brain and body by translating functional medicine and neuroscience into a simple and actionable healthy lifestyle blueprint

The Joy Prescription Community Membership is for you if you are experiencing any of the following…
Anxiety
Are you suffering with overwhelming stress and anxiety? Heart palpitations, muscle tension, stomach tied in knots, using alcohol to calm you down at night, sleeping pills for insomnia, afraid that things will only get worse?
Drug Side Effects
The medication that was supposed to help you feel better doesn’t seem to be working well and seems to be causing more problems like brain fog, diarrhea, sexual side effects, feeling emotionally flat, weight gain and fatigue.
Fatigue
The very idea of exercise is exhausting, no energy for intimacy with your partner, painfully tired when you wake up, like you haven’t slept at all, exhausted by the end of the day, relying on stimulants like caffeine and sugary foods to get you through the day?
Depression
Are unpredictable moods affecting your relationships? Are your loved ones suffering because of your irritability and overwhelm? Feeling spiritually disconnected, stuck in life?
Declining Health
Feeling wired and tired, mentally exhausted, digestive problems, chronic fatigue, joint and muscle pains, headaches, weight gain and hair loss?
Social Withdrawal
Worries, exhaustion and mood swings are causing you to isolate from family and friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who’s not a candidate?
The Joy Prescription community is not for individuals under the age of 18. The Joy Prescription healthy lifestyle blueprint has proven successful in my own life and for many others, so I’m confident that if you make the decision to fully embrace the process, you will see results too. However, you must be ready and willing to make important changes in your life. A great deal of personal commitment is required to actively engage with this process. There will likely be an adjustment period and perhaps some challenges to work through, but that’s where the community support comes into play. When you finally choose to make your self-care a priority, your body and brain will respond!
Can I join any time?
Yes, once you join you will have immediate access to Dr. Libert’s recorded video teachings, Joy Prescription community forum, food plans, menus, recipes, resource guide and discounted professional grade supplements. We’ll also send you an e-mail prior to each new, monthly webinar so you can participate live or watch the replay.
What is your refund policy?
I offer a 30 day money back guarantee if you are not 100% satisfied with you purchase.
Can I join the Joy Prescription Community if I’m not a Christian?
Of course! We welcome all adults, regardless of religious affiliation.
Will the program work for me if I’m taking prescription drugs? Will it help me come off my medications?
The Joy Prescription does not require you to go off your prescription medication(s) to be successful. In my clinical practice, I have helped thousands of patients safely wean off of prescriptions medications that were no longer serving their best interests. Before I make any changes to a patient’s antidepressant/anti-anxiety medication dose, I typically recommend that they engage in therapeutic lifestyle changes like the ones I teach about inside this membership site. The healthier your brain and body are prior to medication tapering, the greater the chance the weaning process will be successful. As you implement your Joy Prescription lifestyle changes, I recommend that you work with your prescribing physician to taper medication when you and your doctor feel the timing is right. Never stop prescription medications without proper medical advice and supervision.
What if I have a physical illness in addition to my mental health concerns?
Please consult your physician and/or mental health professional before you initiate any lifestyle change program. The information inside this membership site, and on the community forum, is not intended to be medical advice and is not meant to diagnose or treat any disease. You may have special dietary needs and medications that may need to be monitored.
Will you be my doctor?
Participating in the Joy Prescription Community does not make you a patient of my medical practice. The information shared inside the membership site and forum is for educational purposes only, and does not constitute medical advice. If you would like to learn more about working with me as a patient, visit my practice website at caringforthebody.org.
Will I get meal plans to follow?
Yes! The course materials include meal plans, shopping lists and delicious recipes.
What kind of help and support is there?
There’s a private Facebook group where you’ll be able to connect with others in the Joy Prescription community, if you choose. I will drop in frequently to answer questions and provide encouragement and support. I am not legally allowed to provide medical advice on-line, and enrollment in this membership site does not include e-mail access to me. My support team is available to help with any technical/billing questions. You can reach support by e-mailing help@caringforthebody.org.
What do I need to do to get started?
You can enroll in the Joy Prescription community here, and get started on your computer or mobile device at any time, from anywhere in the world. Access to the internet is required to participate, and access to a printer may enhance your experience.
