The Johnson Center Functional Health & Longevity

The Johnson Center Functional Health & Longevity Using DNA testing, peptides, and hormones for health optimization and personalized medicine. You have one life … one body. Functional. Integrative.

Increasing both healthspan and lifespan with functional genomics, nutrition, and lifestyle. Genomics + Epigenetics +Cellular Health = Optimal Health

Health is not the absence of disease. Health is an optimal physiological state where there are no limitations. You are able to accomplish whatever you want to do both physically and mentally. Most people are unaware that their health is declining as cellular damage occurs long before you start having symptoms. Symptoms appear with continued oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular dysfunction. Health Optimization is looking at health at a cellular level.

1.Genes - This is your DNA, your blueprint, that makes you completely different from everyone else and identifies your predispositions for certain diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer's, and Cancer.

2.​Epigenetics - Epigenetics are lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, toxin exposure, and stress that influence your genes.

3.Cellular Health - Cells must maintain balance for optimal health. We can measure your current state of health and by bloodwork, medical history, physical state, and other tests looking at your metabolome. Understanding all three can identify key health risks and help you avoid them. We provide our patients with a personalized wellness plan that is specific for each individual patient. Utilizing genomic testing as well as metabolomics and microbiome testing, we create an individualized wellness plan for each patient understanding their unique lifestyle and stage in life. What works for a 30-year-old is not optimal for someone in their 70's: nutritional needs change, exercise focus changes, motivation, and lifestyle changes. All this needs to be taken into account to live a long life mentally and physically optimal. Nutrition, genetics, aging, stress, lifestyle habits, toxins, and the environment can all increase your risk for disease and influence the hormones and brain chemicals that determine your physical and emotional health. We work with patients to prevent Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune, and other chronic complex diseases. Why not choose healthcare that’s designed especially for you. Holistic
