Nutrition & Wellness

Wellness is not just the absence of disease!

In wellness, few things are more fundamental than nutrition, because it is the basis for energy and growth in our bodies. Food is literally our fuel!

So many symptoms and chronic illnesses can be traced back to the foods we eat, and how well we are able to break down and digest foods.

That’s why we have multiple nutrition services to help you address the fundamentals of health, so you can feel better and think better!

At Neal Johnson Family Practice, we believe

wellness is a premium state of holistic health that includes

physical energy,

mental clarity,

and a strong, resilient constitution

that leaves you feeling on top of the world!

If you are experiencing a chronic illness, we can help you get to the root of issue and lead you to a place of greater strength.

However, if you’re “doing okay,” you could still use our services. It is so much easier to prevent chronic illness than to unwind it after the fact.

Check out our Nutrition Services!  We’re sure you’ll be pleased with our well-rounded nutrition-related services.

In addition, we regularly help patients with the following:

• Food Sensitivities / Gut Health – We pay special attention to the pillars of health – nutrition and digestion. We have access to some high-powered testing from Genova labs, and can guide you based on the results.

• Fatigue – Fatigue can be a result of multiple factors. We can do some testing to rule out (or positively identify) many common contributing factors, including genetic, thyroid, and nutrient testing.

• Thyroid Support – We help those with over-functioning and under-functioning thyroids, including regular testing, nutrient supplements, medication, and medication adjustments.

• Autoimmune Disorders – Autoimmune disorders are sometimes the cause of those “mysterious” symptoms. Besides basic testing, we have excellent nutrition guidance for those who want to try to reduce symptoms through special diets, such as gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, etc.

• Disease Management – If you have a disease or chronic illness and are not getting the service and attention you feel you deserve from your current doctor, come on over to us! We help many patients with diabetes, familial hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, autoimmune disorders, skin conditions, MTHFR genetic mutations, herpes, and many other conditions.

• Stress / Anxiety / Depression – In addition to many different kinds of tests, we can prescribe medications and give nutritional and lifestyle instruction. There is hope! Many patients have found relief and continue to see us for maintenance.

• Detoxification – Taking the garbage out of the body is an important function! We can test for heavy metals and other toxins, and have numerous detoxification programs of varying lengths that our nutritionist can guide you through.

• Pre-Conception – Congratulations! Being proactive about your health in advance of a pregnancy is an excellent decision. We can do heavy metals testing and help you detoxify your body before you start trying to conceive. We can also do MTHFR genetic testing, which can help you identify if you need a special, activated form of folate.
