Over the last few years due to travel for work, schedules, and middle age I found myself at a crossroads in December 2025. I had had some underlying health concerns leading to symptoms related to heart disease, high blood pressure, weight gain, and high cholesterol. I did not want to take more medications than I was already on and was at a loss. After doing some research and discussing options such as natural path or functional health with a family member in the healthcare field I decided to go the route of Functional Health. I found Dr. Ron Johnson in Fort Mill, SC. I sent an email message and his team immediately reached out. I loved the opportunities for appts they offered in person or zoom. We had a zoom consult for almost 2 hours. Dr. Johnson was warm, friendly, and caring. He listened, ask questions, and genuinely cared about my challenges and my goals. After completing bloodwork, which was much more extensive than a normal panel, we met in person to review the results. It was then I knew my concerns were legit. However, Dr. Ron was positive, thorough and explained the where, why, how, and what was causing my issues. The very basic premise was gut health. My gut and surrounding organs were tired, beat up, and ready for a clean-up. We chose a path of supplements and diet that would meet my needs but not overwhelm me. Over the course of 15 weeks, we followed a strict routine. All the while Dr. Ron was available via text, phone, email day or night. He was encouraging and his team supportive and helpful. Since January I have lost close to 35 Ibs, a vast majority of my symptoms have gone away. I feel healthier, energetic, sleep better, and my blood pressure readings have been normal for 2 months. We are now in a restart phase and anxiously awaiting bloodwork that I am hopeful will show vastly improved signs. Dr. Ron Johnson taught me that it is never too late to restart the human body, give it a tune up of sorts. His process utilizing all natural supplements and proper clean eating has led me to a new understanding of our foods how they are processed and what makes us gravitate towards the right food. I have absolutely enjoyed working with Dr. J. I will continue to see him and his team for long term self-care plans and ongoing blood panel analysis. When you take the time to understand functional medicine and its positive impacts you will not be disappointed. During this time my wife who has loosely followed my routines has also enjoyed benefits. Thank you Dr. Ron for all your continued support, you have given me a new outlook on nutrition, self-care and a strong understanding of how we can live longer and healthier.
