We Hear You
Meet Our
Virginia Based
Functional Health & Longevity Team
We know what it’s like to get blindsided by symptoms but not have anyone who is willing to help…or even take you seriously.
If you’re like us, you’re tired of being told that everything is "normal," and your symptoms are just part of aging.
Meet The Team

Kristina McIrvin,
FNP
Kristina is a family nurse practitioner who has spent the majority of her career working in critical care and the emergency department. Years of treating patients with complications from chronic diseases and side effects from medications has made her realize how many problems could be prevented or more effectively managed through lifestyle changes. However, the nature of emergency care did not allow her the opportunity to provide the lifestyle and nutrition counseling that was needed. She started working at the Johnson Center in 2023 in order to have the opportunity to work individuals interested in preventing, treating, or reversing chronic conditions through natural approaches such as nutritional changes, stress management, exercise and supplements. She has always found nutrition fascinating and loves providing counseling about diet. She has completed additional training in weight loss and enjoys walking alongside individuals in their weight loss journey. Outside of work, Kristina is busy raising four children, traveling, hiking, reading historical fiction novels, working in her garden and experimenting in the kitchen.
