About
Dr. Michael L Johnson
Dr. Michael L. Johnson is a Doctor of Pastoral Medicine specializing in holistic healthcare. He utilizes custom-prepared homeopathic remedies, neurological brain-based protocols, red light therapy, and magnetic therapy (similar to acupuncture using magnets) to support patients in addressing chronic and complex health challenges.
His TikTok channel, @drmichaelljohnson1, has over 700,000 followers (as of early 2026) and continues to grow rapidly, where he shares educational content on natural health approaches.
Dr. Johnson previously practiced as a Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist (D.A.C.N.B.) in Appleton, Wisconsin, from 1983 until 2024. In 2022, he chose to retire his Doctor of Chiropractic license due to ongoing challenges with the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). He is the author of several books focused on natural protocols for conditions including thyroid disorders, autoimmune issues, fibromyalgia, heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses.
In 2006, he founded the Neuro-Metabolic Super Group, a consulting network of doctors dedicated to supporting patients with severe and chronic health conditions. Following his personal recovery through stem cell therapy, he established the Optimal Health Stem Cell and Wellness Institute in 2016. In 2025, he launched The Johnson Wellness Institute, now serving patients worldwide via telehealth using his integrative protocols.

Dr. Johnson graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, in March 1983 and began private practice shortly thereafter. Over the following decades, he completed extensive advanced training in areas including Gonstead technique, functional neurology, acupuncture (certified 1994), nutritional therapy, stem cell applications, methylation, homeopathy, and related fields.
From 1983 to 2022, he maintained active board certification as a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (D.A.C.N.B.) and incorporated brain-based therapies and integrative approaches into his practice long before functional medicine became widely recognized.
In 2006, he founded the Neuro-Metabolic Super Group—a private consulting forum (txfibro.com message board) where he collaborated with chiropractors, medical doctors, and other practitioners to develop non-drug strategies for patients with severe and chronic conditions.
His personal health recovery through stem cell therapy in the mid-2010s led to the establishment of the Optimal Health Stem Cell and Wellness Institute in 2016. This experience further shaped his focus on root-cause, non-pharmaceutical support.
Since 2025, through The Johnson Wellness Institute, Dr. Johnson has transitioned fully to telehealth, serving patients worldwide. His protocols emphasize:
- Custom-prepared homeopathic remedies to address underlying toxins, infections, and stressors
- Neurological rehabilitation exercises (brain-based protocols)
- Red light therapy (including high-powered devices provided in longer care plans)
- Magnetic therapy
- Comprehensive lab testing (such as blood work and DUTCH hormone testing) when indicated
- Lifestyle and dietary guidance (anti-inflammatory focus, prioritizing seafood for DHA content, low-toxin choices)
Key Notes from Dr. Johnson’s Practice Philosophy:
- Protocols support the body’s natural healing capacity and do not claim to treat, cure, or diagnose medical diseases.
- He works exclusively through his own system and does not integrate protocols with other functional medicine practitioners.
- Care plans are structured (12-, 18-, or 24-month options) and typically include homeopathic remedies, labs, red light therapy devices (in longer plans), weekly check-ins, and radionics broadcasting for added convenience.
- He accepts patients who are committed to implementing lifestyle changes and does not work with smokers or those unwilling to make necessary adjustments.
