When you’re diagnosed with a serious medical condition, you may find yourself feeling blindsided. Just yesterday you were fine, and today you’re being told that you have diabetes or heart disease or an autoimmune condition. It can feel as if you went from being healthy to unhealthy overnight, and seemingly without cause. But this isn’t how chronic disease works. Chronic disease generally develops gradually, over many years if not decades.
Chronic disease doesn’t materialize out of thin air, but has causes. Integrative medicine is focused on identifying and addressing these root causes of disease in a comprehensive, thorough, individualized, and evidence-based fashion using means that are direct, effective, and safe. Because lifestyle contributes a great deal to the development of many if not most chronic diseases, integrative medicine is focused above all on lifestyle modification as a means of preventing, ameliorating, and/or reversing disease. Integrative medicine involves combining conventional treatment methods and more ‘natural’ treatment methods, allowing you to get the best of both worlds in the pursuit of optimal health.

Dr Johnson is passionate about helping patients prevent disease before it has the opportunity to take root, so he also sees patients for chronic disease prevention/healthy aging, with a focus on Peter Atia’s ‘Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse’: neurodegenerative disease, cancer, coronary artery disease, and metabolic disease.
Dr Johnson also has a keen interest in the use of low-dose naltrexone (LDN) in the treatment of select cases of autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia.
As part of the Bodybuilder and Athlete Support Program, Dr Johnson works with patients who use anabolic steroids and other performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) to help them mitigate the risks associated with the use of these drugs.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the use of integrative medical treatments in the prevention and treatment of disease. I couldn’t have been older than 12 years of age when I started devouring books on nutrition, exercise, and mind/body medicine (I was clearly an odd kid!). The idea that the foods we eat, how we move our bodies, how we manage our stress, and other aspects of our lifestyle has the power to shape our future health held an intuitive appeal for me. However, it was only later, after becoming a medical doctor, that I realized just how powerful an integrative treatment approach can be in the prevention and treatment of disease. Integrative medicine isn’t just my career, it’s my passion. Let me share my passion with you!
