Welcome to Joy Rising Nutrition, where we blend the art of nutrition with the grace of faith to help you achieve vibrant health from the inside out.
Our approach goes beyond conventional nutrition practices, embracing the spiritual journey to create a complete wellness experience
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. - Romans 12:2
W. Pauline Forshee, RDN, LDN
Founder
Embracing my Christian faith, I wholeheartedly blend evidence-based research and biblical wisdom to ignite inspiration, motivation, and transformative empowerment. Holding credentials as a registered dietitian and licensed nutritionist, complemented by degrees in Early Education and Dietetics, my journey has taken me across borders, allowing me to teach internationally and serve as a keynote speaker and conferences, seminars, and retreats worldwide.
Having worn the hats of an international missionary, pastor’s wife, and church leader, I intimately understand the pressures tied to self-induced perfectionism. I proudly embrace the title of a “recovering perfectionist,” acknowledging that God, in His continuous work, is not only shaping my journey but also crafting a joy-filled life for me and you.
Let’s embark on this journey together-breaking free from fear, embracing grace, and cultivating a healthier, more joyful life. God’s work in me isn’t complete, and I believe it’s just the beginning of the transformation He has in store for you too!
Life Beyond Nutrition...
Yes, that's really me skydiving 🪂
After passing my RD exam, I knew I could do anything, so I decided to add 'jumping out of a plane' to the list.
I love everything vintage 👒
I love Tiki music, esp. Lex Baxter and dressing in 40s and 50s ladies vintage fashion, esp. vintage dresses, and big, amazing, fashionable hats! I believe in embracing the power of femininity.
I'm a real dog lover 🐾
My absolute favorite breed is the dachshund! I love their tenacious personalities and those soulful eyes! However, I have never met a dog I don’t like-they are all amazing. Can’t find me in a crowd? Just look for the dogs and there you will find me.
I dream of tropical vacations 🏝
One day I want to go to Fiji and stay in a little hut directly on the water. No phone, no internet, no television, just a great view, an amazing historical novel, and my favorite man – my hubby!
Patchwork of my heart 🪡
I love quilting, it is my creative outlet. I delight in taking scraps of colored fabric and arranging them into a beautiful pattern. I get a deep sense of joy when I gift someone a quilt to enjoy, it warms my heart and hopefully theirs too.
