IT'S NOT NORMAL

Tired of people telling you that it’s normal for your health to plummet when you age? So are we!

 

Weight gain, aches and pains, brain fog, anxiety…they’re not normal. They’re signals telling you that something is wrong deep inside of your body--all the way down in your cells.

But don’t worry--there IS something you can do about it!

 

The Johnson Center for Health’s Longevity Program helps your body respond, regenerate, and repair--alleviating the symptoms you have now, and ensuring you’ll stay well for the long term.

EARLY PREVENTION MATTERS

The earlier you uncover risk the more you can do about it.

01.

Don't Ignore the Signs

If you’re dealing with symptoms like low energy, pain & stiffness, GI issues and more, they’re not “normal” and will continue to get worse until you do something about it.

02.

Identify Your Risk

We’ll dig deep to understand your health at the cellular level, discovering what is happening now and uncovering your genomic risk in the future.

03.

Pinpoint Your Treatment

We customize your treatment to exactly what your body needs to find balance again. Once you’re balanced, staying healthy becomes easier, not harder.

LASTING HEALTH FOR EVERY BODY

Men

If you’re over 45, now is the time to dig deeper into your health, discover potential genomic risk, and prevent chronic issues before they arise.

Women

Women’s bodies are different from men’s—so why should they be treated the same way? We’ll help you navigate menopause and beyond.

THE JOHNSON CENTER FOR HEALTH IS HERE TO HELP

A message from Dr. Barbara Johnson, founder of the Johnson Center for Health

When I was in my mid-forties, I thought I was doing everything right. I was exercising, eating well, raising my family, and working hard as a surgeon.

 

Then, seemingly out of the blue, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Even though I thought I was on the right track, cellular damage had been hiding in the background.

 

You may not be facing a neurological autoimmune disease, but the same underlying situation may be at work. Cellular damage, especially to the cellular membranes, can exist for many years before you begin to experience symptoms.

That’s why it is so important to take action NOW. If you’re experiencing any symptoms of aging, don’t believe it when people tell you it’s normal. Those symptoms are your body alerting you to the fact that something is out of balance.

 

Luckily, your body is resilient! With the right approach, your body can heal, all the way down to the cells, helping you enjoy a long, happy life full of health and activity.

 

Your future is bright!

THE JOHNSON CENTER FOR HEALTH IS HERE TO HELP

 Improve your biological age by 5-10 years and slow down the rate of aging.

The sooner you start to act, the more opportunity you have to actually change your future.

While we live longer than ever before (the average life expectancy in the 1820s was just 29 years!), our health expectancy is still disappointingly low. While our average lifespan is around 77.5 years, only 66 of those are in good health.


Why? Because aging is the greatest risk factor for most chronic and acute diseases.

Luckily, there is now actionable and powerful new science on the biology of aging. With the help of functional medicine, you address your health holistically, targeting all of the factors that can improve your health.

No matter how you feel today, The Johnson Center’s longevity program will help you extend your lifespan and your health span (the number of years in which your body is functional, strong, flexible and optimally performing).

ADDRESS EVERY FACTOR OF AGING

Our Longevity Center Method helps you master every aspect of your health and wellness.

Biological Age
Your body’s age isn’t wholly dependent on the year you were born. We look at the bigger picture (including important biomarkers) to create a better informed starting point. 

 

Genetics/Epigenetics
Genes play an important role in your health and longevity. Our assessments examine your unique cellular makeup to tailor your plan to your exact needs.

 

Hallmarks of Aging
Aging is an interconnected process across systems in your body. Our holistic treatment plans are designed to address all of your body’s systems, not just one.

 

Environmental Health
5-10% of your healthy, active years are affected by your environment. We’ll identify your environmental risks (air quality, food, water, etc) and how to mitigate them.

 

Psychological Management
Mental health impacts the functioning systems of your body. By addressing your emotional health, you can reduce inflammation and protect your immune system.

Cognitive Functions

We use a sophisticated series of tools for testing and monitoring cognitive abilities and apply the latest techniques to help you monitor and train your cognitive functions.

Circadian Rhythm
Your body’s natural 24-hour clock is essential to your physical and mental health. We’ll help you optimize your rhythm so your entire body can feel healthy and energized.

 

Gender-Specific Medicine
There are over 300 genetic differences between men and women. To understand your current and future potential health, we look at your unique differentiators.

 

Emotional Health
A positive mindset is the cornerstone of longevity. We'll help you shift your perspective to relish the opportunities life presents to transform your outlook on aging.

Evidence-Based Approach
You deserve lasting, reliable results. That’s why our treatments are firmly grounded in safe, scientifically-proven methods that you can feel confident in.

Yoga in Nature

“Dr. Johnson and her team in Virginia Beach get to the root of your health issues for optimal health. What a relief to know I wasn’t crazy and the solution was not to pop pills for the rest of my life. I have never had a doctor spend such quality time explaining test results to me as Dr. Johnson did. Following her program, I was able to see immediate and lasting results!”
