EP 10: Dr. Anna Johnson | The art of nutritional healing
What is Naturopathic medicine? How can you get started? In this episode, we interview Dr. Anna Johnson, a wealth of knowledge and experience healing through nutrition and listening to body. Join us for an in depth discussion around the affects of flight or flight on our digestive system, listening to our body/ and find our rhythm, eating based on our blood types, oncology, and more.
Dr. Anna Johnson, a first year resident at HNNH, is a board certified Naturopathic Doctor licensed in the state of New Hampshire. She earned her clinical doctorate in naturopathic medicine at the University of Bridgeport, CT, after completing a Master of Public Health degree with honors at Nova Southeastern University, FL. Prior to her graduate studies she completed a Bachelor of Arts in Molecular, Cellular, Developmental Biology at University of Colorado at Boulder.
Dr. Johnson has a strong passion for global health and has always been drawn to helping underserved populations. For her MPH thesis project, she completed a sustainable water purification system at an orphanage in rural Kenya with the International Health Initiatives. During her undergraduate career she completed medical mission trips with Global Medical Brigades in Honduras and Panama. Her most recent publication includes Project H.O.P.E. (Homelessness in Osteopathic Predoctoral Education), with Nova Southeastern University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine, a curriculum designed to bridge the gap between healthcare and homelessness.
Dr. Johnson found her calling in naturopathic medicine through her personal experience with a lifetime of chronic allergies. For the first time in her life she found relief through diet and lifestyle changes that were introduced to her while traveling abroad. Her decision to specialize in oncology became clear during her second year of medical school when a close family member was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer which, since then, has been managed successfully by naturopathic medicine.
In her free time, Dr. Johnson enjoys painting, hiking, biking, snowboarding, nature, traveling, and spending time with her husband, family and friends.
