He is best known as the founder of the Neurometabolic Super Group, a professional consulting network for healthcare practitioners, and the director of the Johnson Wellness Institute.[1]
Early Life and Education
Johnson grew up in Bessemer, Michigan.

He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in March 1983 from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
Career
Johnson began his private practice in Appleton, Wisconsin, in 1983. Over four decades, his clinical focus shifted toward "root-cause" resolution of chronic and complex health conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, thyroid disorders, and neurological dysfunction.[2]
In 1997, Johnson expanded his practice to three clinics and began advanced training in functional neurology through the Carrick Institute. He holds post-doctoral certification as a Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist. In 2016, he founded the Optimal Health Stem Cell and Wellness Institute after personally exploring regenerative medicine.[3]
Johnson currently directs the Johnson Wellness Institute in Michigan, where he utilizes a combination of homeopathic protocols based on lab work, red light therapy, and functional neurology to treat chronic conditions.[4]
Neurometabolic Super Group
In 2006, Johnson founded the Neurometabolic Super Group, a collaborative network designed to mentor healthcare providers, including MDs, DCs, and NDs—in managing complex patient cases. The group currently consists of over 400 physicians nationwide who utilize shared clinical insights and advanced metabolic principles.[5]
