Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 9, 2026

Dr. Michael Johnson (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”) operate this website (the “Site”) to provide information about our telehealth services, functional medicine protocols, holistic health resources, and related offerings. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling any personal information responsibly.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit the Site, submit forms (e.g., intake or contact forms), download resources, or interact with our services. By using the Site, you agree to this Policy.

Please note: Our services involve collecting sensitive health information through telehealth consultations, intake forms, and testing orders. We handle such information with the utmost care, in compliance with applicable laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) where required. However, we are a holistic and functional medicine practice and do not “treat” or “cure” conditions—we support natural healing.

1. Information We Collect

We collect two types of information:

a. Non-Personal Information

  • Automatically collected data when you visit the Site, such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and usage patterns (via cookies, web beacons, or analytics tools like Google Analytics).
  • This helps us improve Site functionality and user experience.

b. Personal and Health Information

  • Provided voluntarily, such as name, email, address, date of birth, phone number, health history (chief complaints, medications, allergies, family background), and other details from intake forms, contact submissions, or telehealth interactions.
  • Sensitive data like Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA (e.g., medical conditions, test results from DUTCH or blood work) when you become a patient.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and improve services: Process intake forms, schedule telehealth consultations, send protocols/remedies, review test results, and communicate updates.
  • For administrative purposes: Respond to inquiries, manage appointments, process payments, and comply with legal obligations.
  • To enhance the Site: Analyze usage for better content and functionality.
  • Health information is used solely to support your personalized protocols (e.g., identifying root causes like inflammation or imbalances) and is not shared without consent except as required by law.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Payments and Billing

We also accept credit cards, cash, and checks as payment methods for our services. All payments are due upfront (except for weekly calls), with no refunds or itemized invoices provided. For flexible options, we recommend financing through CareCredit or other partners listed on our site. Contact us via the form or email for details.

We do not store credit card information directly—payments are processed securely through trusted third-party providers.

4. How We Share Your Information

  • With service providers: Third parties assisting operations (e.g., email platforms, telehealth tools, testing labs like Precision Analytical for DUTCH tests, payment processors) under strict confidentiality agreements. Where applicable, we require Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) for HIPAA compliance.
  • For legal reasons: If required by law, court order, or to protect rights/safety.
  • Health data: Shared only for your care (e.g., with labs for testing) or with your explicit authorization.

We do not disclose PHI without permission except for permitted uses under HIPAA (e.g., treatment, payment, operations).

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. This includes secure transmission (e.g., encrypted forms) and limited access. However, no system is completely secure—use caution when submitting data online.

6. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies for essential functions (e.g., session management) and analytics (e.g., Google Analytics to understand Site traffic). You can manage cookies via browser settings, but disabling them may affect Site features.

See our COOKIES POLICY for more information.

7. Your Rights and Choices

  • Access/correct your information: Request review or updates to your data (subject to legal limits).
  • Opt-out: Unsubscribe from communications.
  • For PHI: Under HIPAA (if applicable), you have rights to access, amend, restrict uses, and receive accounting of disclosures. Contact us for requests.
  • California residents: Additional rights under CCPA/CPRA if applicable (e.g., opt-out of sales—note: we do not sell data).

8. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from minors without parental consent.

9. Links to Third-Party Sites

The Site may link to external resources (e.g., TikTok videos, testing labs, financing providers). Their privacy practices differ—we are not responsible for them.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy—changes will be posted here with the updated date. Continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance.

11. Contact Us

For questions, requests, or concerns: Email DRMLJ83@gmail.com or use the CONTACT FORM on the Site.

This Policy is not legal advice—consult a professional for specific compliance needs. We strive for transparency and trust in handling your information.

Affiliate Disclosure

Affiliate Disclosure & Policy

Last Updated: March 18, 2026

This Affiliate Disclosure & Policy applies to the website https://drmichaelljohnson.com/ (and any related subdomains or content created by Dr. Michael L. Johnson or the Johnson Wellness Institute).

Disclosure of Material Connection

Some (or all) of the links and product recommendations on this website — particularly on pages recommending supplements, such as the “Dr. Johnson’s Recommended Supplements” page — are affiliate links. This means that if you click on one of these links and make a purchase, I (Dr. Michael L. Johnson) may receive a small commission or other compensation from the merchant or company at no extra cost to you.

These commissions help support the maintenance of this website, the creation of free educational content (including videos, protocols, and health information), and ongoing patient support efforts. I only recommend products and companies that I personally use, trust, or have seen positive clinical results with in my practice.

Important Notes

  • I do not receive any compensation for general informational content, patient testimonials, or educational videos unless explicitly stated.
  • Affiliate relationships do not influence my recommendations — product suggestions are based on my 40+ years of clinical experience, patient outcomes, and research.
  • All opinions expressed are my own.
  • Prices and availability of products may change; always verify current details directly on the merchant’s site.
  • These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.

Transparency Commitment

I am committed to full transparency in accordance with FTC guidelines (Federal Trade Commission Endorsement Guides). If a link is an affiliate link or if I receive any form of compensation, it will be disclosed clearly near the recommendation or on relevant pages.

Questions?

If you have any questions about this policy, affiliate links, or recommended products, feel free to email DRMLJ83@gmail.com or use our CONTACT PAGE

Thank you for your support — it allows me to continue sharing protocols and information to help more people regain their health naturally.
