Total Health Testimonials

Dr. Marty has changed my health and life for the better!

I’ve been seeing a practitioner at the Menomonee Falls clinic for close to 10 years and now go to the New Berlin Clinic as it’s closer to my home. As someone who has dealt with Lyme Disease and a thyroid auto immune disease I can say this Team has been instrumental in me regaining my health. They are extremely knowledgeable and actual care about you and your well being. As someone who always wants to know “why” it’s been so refreshing and empowering to have a practitioner use immediate, non-invasive modalities to be able to give immediate feedback as to the cause of my ailments and what to do to fix it. I see my Total Health practitioner for all things health related (management of chronic diseases, colds/flu and other acute ailments, diet support/management, among others) and view my primary care Dr as secondary on my health care team as I get way more out of the team at total health. If you have any mystery health issues or have ever felt the traditional health system has failed you or there has to be more you can do than “live with it” or take pills you won’t regret engaging with this Team.

I’ve been to many places concerning health and wellness. Total Health is the perfect name for this place. A Well rounded approach to health. The staff is professional and personable. As many services are available. I always feel welcomed when I enter the store searching for a product that I need. The clinic is perfect for me as I’ve been looking for answers to many of my health issues and haven’t had a lot of luck before with allopathic medicine. (As far as finding solutions to symptoms and root causes) With Total health I get answers that are logical. Applications and tools that I can apply to staying healthy not throwing a bandage 🤕 on the issue at hand. Since I’ve been coming to the clinic my health has improved to a point where I feel confident that it only gets better from here. Knowing that we are all individuals with different needs and that attaining good health and good information isn’t black and white(a lot of grey areas). I decided it was time I took responsibility for my own well being and not rely so heavily on conventional practices. I know patience is important and it’s getting healthier that’s important not just squelching symptoms but getting at the root cause. Getting sick didn’t happen over night and getting healthy for sure doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the determination and discipline to work at it, and best of all getting to my health goals, so satisfying😊. Thank you Total Health for providing me some tools and autonomy for acquiring better health.

Dr.Shane Martin has been a wonderful chiropractor for my whole family!
He has been able to treat other issues as well! I am so thankful that we found him!

What was it like before you came in to see us?

I was sick with a bad respiratory infection in February of 2008 and I couldn’t seem to get rid of a nagging lingering cough. I coughed mostly in the morning only. As time went by, the cough was definitely morning only and I would usually cough for about an hour. I just wasn’t feeling well. I couldn’t even describe it to the doctors. I had been an avid runner all year round and I couldn’t even think about exercise let alone run. It felt as though my body was inflamed, mostly in my lung area. So I went to an allergist first for the cough. After 4 separate visits including allergy testing and numerous breathing tests, he said it might be acid reflux. I was put on Nexium for one month. It did nothing. I’ve never had heartburn so I doubted that was the problem. Another one of my doctors told me to elevate the head of my bed to prevent acid reflux from accumulating in my lungs at night. Since the doctors could not hear wheezing in my lungs, they did not think it was lung-related. Next, I saw a lung specialist who conducted two more tests. One was a 90-minute breathing test that came back completely normal. The other was a CT scan of my lungs. Nothing showed either. He diagnosed the discomfort I was feeling in my back and lung area as costochondritis. This is an inflammation of the cartilage surrounding the heart and lungs. They don’t know what causes it and cannot know if and when it will go away. Meanwhile, I wasn’t getting better. This went on for a good year and finally, I saw Marty in late March of 2009.

How is it now?

100% better! Marty diagnosed intolerance to wheat. I immediately cut out all wheat and or gluten products. The next day and weeks after that I did not cough at all. I had a relapse recently and we figured out it was because I had eaten chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant near my house. Although the chips are made from corn, they could have been processed with wheat. Now I don’t take any chances. I stay away from any and all processed foods that could come into contact with wheat including watching labels for natural flavoring and such. Not knowing how strict I need to be, I opt for being as strict as possible. I have been a vegetarian for 20 years and most recently went completely vegan. Restricting my diet to only organic whole foods has not been a big deal for me. The benefits outweigh the bad. I got my life back and most important, I’m running again out on the Kettle Moraine trails with my beloved dogs.

Great place for health supplements and advice as well as practitioners that can help you on the road to health. They have helped me.

Great place to find good quality supplements

What was it like before you came in to see us?

I love to say that before I came in, I felt pretty healthy. I watched my diet by eating the appropriate amount of calories I needed to maintain my healthy weight. I would eat only a small dessert after a full day of eating well. I worked out 4-5 times per week with cardio and weights. I thought I was doing really well. The only symptom at the time that I noticed was that I was very forgetful at the age of 30. I was constantly gassy and bloated, “blurby stomach” which I figured was just a normal occurrence with getting older. I wanted to think that my forgetfulness was getting more frequent. This is when I decided to see Dr. Marty.

How is it now?

Now I feel so much better! I found out that I have an intolerance to wheat. When I eat wheat I get my old symptoms of bloated, and gassiness back! When I changed my diet, I started to remember things. Now I’m the person reminding others. My skin is better and cleaner! I used to get acne cysts on my chin and I don’t get them anymore. I have a much better understanding of my body and how it reacts to things I eat. Though my diet is improved greatly, I realize I am still a work in progress and will continue to make small changes to continue making it better!

Very helpful caring staff

Great people to do business with. They really know what they're doing and how to help people with all kinds of issues. I would highly recommend going there, I'm sure that they can help you!

"The cottage cheese on my thighs is almost gone & most of my wrinkles have smoothed out"

What was it like before you came in to see us?

I had hives on my face and lips. Every day I was taking Benadryl and sleeping all the time from the medication. My allergist could only suggest Benadryl and avoiding certain foods, but I continued to have hives daily. My digestion has been a problem for 20 years. I had horrible pains from gas daily. I took so much aspirin to control the pain that I started bleeding in my stool. I had a colonoscopy that revealed my colon was normal and that I had irritable bowel syndrome. The doctor offered some diet advice – it didn’t help much. I continued to have gas and pain.

How is it now?

My hives are under control with the wonderful standard process products that Dr. Marty recommended. My digestion is the best that it has been in 20 years. I rarely have gas or pain now. Dr. Marty has really helped me with my poor digestion. The supplements and diet he put me on have helped my digestion so much.

What was it like before you came in to see us?

From age 28 until 58, I had been sick and miserable. My stomach bloated all the time like a woman who was 9 months pregnant. I felt ill after everything I ate and was totally constipated. I had back pain all over. Some days I laid all day on a heating pad. I had seen several doctors over the years but they only treated the symptoms.

How is it now?

I came to Total Health in July 2009. Marty Johnson found several food allergies. Within two days, I was off of all stomach medication and could eat once again. My constipation was gone, and my back pain disappeared within a week. Because of his help, I am happy and feel younger than I have in years! Thank you Marty and all the help at Total Health!

Just wanted to say Thank You for helping us with the light sensitivity issue that Hadassah had. She has been taking her pills and liquid daily and now she seems to be completely better… We are totally thrilled.

On another exciting note, Isaiah’s blood work came back and the hepatic tone has been working great, his liver numbers are now in the normal range for the first time since he was at the hospital a year and a half ago. He is still showing allergens as they have elevated so we will continue to avoid milk.

What was it like before you came to see us?

I was suffering from extreme fatigue, frequent urination, headaches, and never-ending cold symptoms. I also was also retaining water and had severe allergies.

How is it now?

Since my detox from round one, all of my fatigue disappeared and my cold symptoms subsided all thru the month where I would generally be sick the whole season. After my detox from round two, with an employed diet, my frequent irritation disappeared and my headaches haven’t returned at all. My allergies still react a bit, but not as extreme as before. Very mild now in comparison.

What was it like before you came in to see us?

When I came to see Marty I was pretty much at the lowest point physically that I have ever been. I was very tired, fatigued, had joint pains, and very painful side pains. After working with Marty on my troubled areas for 6 months, I have lost weight but more importantly, my health has greatly improved. I no longer lie on the couch at the end of my workday because of exhaustion or pain.

How is it now?

Besides some weight loss, my health has improved. I feel so much better and energetic. My joints feel so much better. I used to get hip injections every 5 months apart – my last time I was able to go 9 months without it. Now I don’t even feel the need to have them. I am able to reduce my cholesterol medication and diabetic medication with a goal to be off them.  My regular blood work results have greatly improved and gotten to normal ranges – even my medical doctor is very impressed with my results and supports my treatment plan with Marty.

What was it like before you came to see us?

I was overweight and had aching joints. I had gout and plaque buildup in my arteries as well.

How is it now?

I have noticed an 80% improvement. I feel younger and have more energy. I have lost weight and improved my health.

Marty, I woke up this morning with a plugged left ear and muted hearing. After using the supplements that you suggested, my ear cleared up a few hours later and now it’s fine.

What was your health like before you came to see us?

I suffered from pitting edema in bilateral lower ankles. It reddened and was hot to touch. I had bulging varicose veins that were very painful and swollen.

How is your health now?

WOOHOO. I am ready to join the Rockettes. The varicose veins are essentially gone. The veins are not bulging nor swelling and have faded away.

What was your health like before you came to see us?

I had severe spine problems; infections, nasal passage problems, sneezing, constant congestion, post nasal drip, loss of taste and smell. Also allergies to certain foods- corn, wheat, most grains, probably causing digestion discomfort. A lot of discomfort in colon, bloating, and constipation.

How is your health now?

Within 3 months I have improved with the sinus condition – congestion is gone, my taste and smell is coming back, my sneezing is gone, and no more nasal drip. Treatment for the colon (no gallbladder) within last 2 weeks, the bloating has gone down and constipation is eliminated.

Over the past few years my allergies have become more and more severe. It had gotten to the point that I was sick at work every day because of my sensitivity to fragrances. I was taking allergy medication every day and had been getting allergy shots for over three years. I had daily headaches, muscle aches, sore throat, difficulty breathing and congestion. A friend mentioned that I might have a food allergy and I should check it out. I made an appointment for food allergy testing with my doctor but as I was searching for information on the web I checked out Total Health Nutrition Center that I had heard about on the Fish. The First website link took me to their website which was advertising a seminar called “How Toxic Are You?” It described 8 symptoms that are typical with toxicity – I had 7 of them. I attended the seminar and had lots of questions afterward. Marty Johnson took the time to answer all my questions and was able to tell me what he believed was really causing my sensitivity to fragrances. I was so miserable that I was willing to try anything.

I set up an appointment with Marty and he became my personal coach. I called him whenever I had a question or concern. Two weeks into the cleanse, my sensitivity issues disappeared almost complete. I also noticed that many symptoms that I thought were part of life were gone, like joint pain and stiffness. My skin is clearer, I don’t need as much sleep as I used to and I have more energy. No more headaches or muscle aches and no sore throat and congestion at work. I also lost my addiction to sugar and caffeine and I feel better than I have in 20 years. I had gone to Total Health Nutrition Center for an answer to my allergy problems but I got so much more. I lost 17 pounds in the first three weeks but it didn’t stop there. It was the starting point for a lifestyle change that I’ve been trying to make for years. In three months I’ve lost 35 pounds, I don’t crave sugar or fast food and I'm able to provide more nutritious meals for my family.

By the way, I canceled that food allergy testing appointment and I haven’t taken allergy medication in three months.

What was it like before you came in to see us?

I was bleeding under my skin and had mottled purple sports that looked like bruises. I also had fungus on my nails. My kids and my wife begged me to try Total Health.

I was very skeptical and challenged Marty to explain the procedure as well as his background and if he was practicing continuing education. He kindly spent extended time answering my questions and I felt more confident to try kinesiology. The change/improvement in my health is what kept me coming back. I could see it was working.

How is your health now?

Within 3 weeks, the bleeding stopped and has not returned! The fungus is almost gone.

What was it like before you came in to see us?

After surgery for diverticulitis three years ago. I have had stomach and intestine issues. I havge been back to the doctors several times but didn’t get any answers. I decided to try natural medicine so I came to Total Health to see Dr. Johnson.

How is it now?

I have been seeing Dr. Johnson for about six months since starting my program. I’ve got my energy back, my stomach and intestines are feeling much better. I have eliminated wheat from my diet and that has helped also.

What was it like before you came in to see us?

Before Total Health, I came with arthritis in my spine and neck. I had mild to severe on and off pain, and a ruptured disc in my thorax. I had frequent burning and tingling sensations in my left arm, limiting my abilities. My neurosurgeon suggested I had cortisone infection and eventually get surgery.

How is it now?

After taking Boswellia and Ligaplex for several weeks, the tingling and burning sensation was gone. There was no need for surgery at this point and have full use of my left arm.

What was it like before you came to see us?

I have always had excellent health. I am very active. I’m a runner, do strength training and have been a Step Aerobics instructor for over 20 years. But, I have always had high cholesterol due to heredity. I came to Total Health for help with my cholesterol and to improve my eating habits. Like I said, I didn’t feel bad and very seldom get sick. I didn’t want to go on medication for my cholesterol because of the many side effects.

How is your health now?

I have been a client at Total Health for about 1 ½ years. I have made several changes to my diet. The biggest change I have made is to include more protein in my diet. This is especially helpful to maintain my activity level. I have also eliminated and cut down on some of the foods contributing to my elevated cholesterol. I’m happy to report that I have successfully lowered my cholesterol by over 40 in the last year. My doctor is very happy with the progress I’ve made. I am also happy with this change. I hope to lower my cholesterol even more by continuing to make better food choices.

What was it like before you came to see us?

Before coming in, I had a lot of pain from acid reflux and pressure tension headaches. My body seemed totally unbalanced with an unending myriad of allergic reactions to many unknown things. I was afraid of eating just about everything except very bland foods. After months of no improvements, I began to despair of ever feeling any better.

How is it now?

After coming in I was greatly relieved to have these strange symptoms addressed & the root causes uncovered and treated with whole food supplements. It was wondrously simple and noninvasive. Everything that I was given helped me. Little by little my body stabilized and now after 3 months, the acid reflux and pressure tension headaches are gone. I can enjoy eating again without fear. Life is flowing and I thank God for Total Health Natural Medicine Clinic.

What was your health like before you came to see us?

I was chronically sick with infections (upper respiratory) stomach discomfort, very low energy and ability to focus. My quality of life was greatly diminished.

I spent years and thousands of dollars searching for the cause in the traditional medical model. That system failed to assist me, they all failed to identify the cause of the cure.

How is your health now?

Dr. Marty Johnson has been a tremendous source of health and education. His work has dramatically improved my overall well-being. Dr. Marty quickly identified the cause and guided me through nutritional education and supplements to better overall health.

I am extremely grateful for the skill and ability Dr. Marty shares with his patients.

What was your health like before you came to see us?

I had a lot of pain. I ate whatever I wanted even though I knew it would cause adverse effects. I was somewhat depressed but I think that was lifted.

How is your health now?

I want to join the YMCA and I think I can do that now - before I was afraid of hurting my back even more. My joint is better and my ankles are no longer swollen which was a lifetime problem. My itchy scalp is now gone as well.

What was it like before you came to see us?

Before I saw Marty, I was diagnosed with Asthma, Acid Reflux, and stress related issues.

How is it now?

Now my asthma, is under control, I have no symptoms with acid reflux, and my stress level is back to normal. I have recommended Marty to at least 10-15 of my friends and family. I was even encouraged by my physician to continue to see Marty while he’s monitoring my health progress.

What were your main health concerns when you first walked into Total Health?

Low energy, stress, and an itchy scalp.

What has been your favorite improvement in your health thus far?

No more itching!

What was the most valuable thing you have learned on your health journey?

I have to listen to my body and make adjustments to my diet.

If you could encourage someone about why to start their own health journey with the Total Health team, what would it be?

They will learn a clean way to take care of their body.

Are there any other comments or observations you would like to pass to us?

Total Health’s staff is extremely helpful and caring.

What was it like before you came to see us?

Our grandson was addicted to prescription drugs for 6 years. We tried to kick the habit on his own, but could not. A clinic had him attend the 12 step program and prescribed him Suboxone, but soon was addicted to this drug that was to help him. He felt ashamed, had chest pains, could not concentrate, anxiety, insomnia, short memory, and the list went on and on. Out of state, holistic center I was recommended with thousands of dollars in cost and loss of his job. After an overdose, our chiropractor recommended Dr. Johnson at Total Health Care in Menomonee Falls, WI.

How is it now?

We could see the healing process after 1 ½ weeks! His body is still in repair state, but the withdrawal symptoms have been eliminated, eating habits improved 100% and no longer needs up to 5 cans of soda and a ton of sugar! Back, leg and chest pains are gone and concentration is better. This treatment changed his life and we would recommend this natural approach to anyone who has an addiction to opioids (prescription drugs). Best of all it is right in our own community! There should be clinics such as this for people who want help without more prescription drugs to get addicted to! Remember the next opioid pill could be your last!

What was it like before you came to see us?

Slurred speech, people couldn’t understand me. I staggered and fell down a lot for no reason. I couldn’t walk straight and walked like a drunk. I have cerebellum atrophy.

How is it now?

I speak better where people can actually understand me. I haven’t fallen down since I started the program. I walk straighter without struggling. If I stop taking the supplements, there is a huge difference.

I am impressed with Alli’s speech and language progress this year. Alli is far more intelligibly verbal and using short phrases in the school setting. Alli verbally greets me with a hello and one to two reciprocal exchanges each time I come to get her for a speech session. I have also seen her initiate a greeting to a peer verbally this school year. The latency in response when she verbally answers a question is significantly decreased as well this year, many times it is immediate or within 5 seconds.

Alli is quite proficient with the use of the iTouch using the Proloquo2Go Communication App as well. We have had instances where she has become frustrated with something at school and was unable to verbally express her concern to use but with prompting expressed pain using the iTouch. She independently creates icons in the program when given the words (verbally or in written form) to program into the icon but has not yet spontaneously generated topics.

Allison has been extra expressive at school in the last few months. I have worked with her for 7 years. She too has gone through many changes but the most exciting is her desire and ability to express herself. More and more she uses her words to interact with the people around her. She has been responding to greetings in the halls and classrooms more often just in the last few months. It used to be only in the classroom she was in, now it’s everywhere she goes.

Yesterday she said, “hi” to a boy in the hall: “Hi boy!” He replied: “Hi.” She was pleased. Monday she greeted 2 girls. “Hi girls.” They smiled and said “Hi” in return. The greetings were an appropriate volume and tone, with more feeling than in the past.

Today, Allison called a classmate name “Yen Yu, Hi” Yen Yu said hello to her and Alli seemed very happy. She will often call out across the classroom to a friend by name and want to “talk a you.”

There seems to be more feeling in her speech and different tones, even when we can’t understand her words, we can tell there are changes in her tone. Sometimes that helps us figure out what she’s saying.

Today we swam in the pool for phy ed. She told me on the way into the pool area “No timer” I said okay, then you can swim until 9:15 (There’s a clock in the pool area) we can look at the clock. She was great about the end of swimming and when I said “okay Alli, time to shower.” She replied “okay” She used to need the timer on and argue with me.

I think she knows she’s being more grown up, and like her peers. She is very aware of others and seems happier and more comfortable around others. She has been more tolerant of smaller spaces, busy hallways, and new situations lately. Overall Allison appears much less anxious and comfortable here at school. She also responds more quickly to all communication.

I want to take a minute and express my thankfulness. When I first came to Total Health, I felt hopeless and lost. Over the last year and a half, you have not only helped me physically, but have been an encouragement to my life as well. I am very happy we found you!

What was your health like before you came to see us?

My daughter lived in her own little world. She was very intelligent but painfully introverted. She would easily get overwhelmed by too much stimuli. At that point it was very difficult to communicate with her. When she was overwhelmed, she would not understand what you were saying, not could she explain what she was thinking or what she misunderstood. She also was very uncomfortable with being touched, hugged or kissed by her parents. It was very difficult.

 How is your health now?

It is wonderful to have her back again! She now talks quite a bit and is often silly – which is a new experience. She does not mind being hugged or kissed anymore. She is able to communicate with others much better now. When people see her (who haven’t seen her in a while) they are surprised. She gets along with her siblings better and can communicate and keep friends better now. There is a very noticeable difference.

What were your main health concerns when you first walked into Total Health?

Stress because I am my father’s caregiver.

What has been your favorite improvement in your health thus far?

My favorite improvement has been my blood tests results. I have now reduced to only one doctor visit per year.

What was the most valuable thing you have learned on your health journey?

When working with my body, turn to natural healing.

If you could encourage someone about why to start their own health journey with the Total Health team, what would it be?

It takes time. You have to be patient for your body to rebuild.

Are there any other comments or observations you would like to pass to us?

There has to be great communication between the patient and the doctor. BE HONEST.

What was your health like before you came to see us?

I came to Total Healthy looking for answers and root causes of my poor health which was very low energy, depression, inflammation, dermatitis, and many health issues. Itchy skin!

Marty has been instrumental in finding answers for many of my problems. I am about 30% improved and am looking forward to an increased improvement. Judy and Kristin are a great blessing with a lot of encouragement in their attitudes and tender hearts.

How is it now?

I have more energy and improved in less inflammation and dermatitis, not as much itchiness.

What was your health like before you came to see us?

I had trouble concentrating, lack of mental clarity, extreme fatigue, emotions like depression with no logical justification of life events/triggers.

How is it now?

I feel a lot more energetic, I have complete mental clarity and emotional stability. I have a more positive outlook on life.

What was your health like before you came to see us?

I generally felt a lack of energy and increasingly period of highs and lows with regard to mental focus and agility. I was having some difficulties with weight fluctuation and sometimes a feeling of being bloated. At times I would also have periods of feeling anxious that would impact my general of sense well-being.

How is your health now?

I am making excellent progress. I feel much more focused. I no longer feel that afternoon drop in energy and no longer experience feeling of always being tired and fatigued. My weight has steadily dropped 9.5 months into the program, I have lost 15 pounds. I have made corrective measures in my diet and no longer feel lethargic or bloated. In general, I had a much-improved sense of well-being.

What was your health like before you came to see us?

Physically, I was overweight and my joints were stiff and sore. I had “brain fog” at various times and became easily overwhelmed at perceived difficult tasks or events. My emotions or feelings would be on an up and down cycle, with sometimes overeating to various life events. Also, my skin was dry around my eyes and hands.

How is your health now?

My weight has decreased (and this wasn’t my number 1 goal!) I am no longer experiencing stiffness or pain in my joints. I’m waking up in the morning feeling more rested. My ‘brain fog’ has disappeared and I am able to see things and situations much clearer and with greater focus. My anxiety has diminished greatly and I have been enjoying a greater feeling of contentment. My dry skin has cleared up. Also, my gums have become healthier.

What was it like before you came to see us?

I was experiencing problems with digestion that was giving me discomfort to the point of not being able to work a full day. Pain and discomfort in my intestines was miserable and my energy level in the afternoon was so low that I found myself needing a two-hour nap. Many foods that I normally ate were giving me problems. I knew after seeing my regular doctor that I needed to do something different. We had purchased vitamins from Total Health in the past. I knew of the clinic so I came in to try their exam.

How is it now?

I was a little skeptical at first, though everything made sense to me. Now 3 months later, I feel much better as if I am normal again. I found out at my second visit after all the test results came in that I had an intolerance to dairy, wheat, and gluten among other things. I have found that changing my diet as requested by Total Health has made all the difference. The supplements are giving me the strength and energy that I am used to having.

What was it like before you came to see us?

I was struggling with my digestion, constipation, hemorrhoids, and bloating.  Another issue that I wanted to change was an increased feeling of my thyroid. A blood test that my doctor took showed us abnormality, but I would feel that my thyroid gland didn’t feel normal.

How is it now?

I feel very good. My digestion has increased tremendously, and I know now that I shouldn’t eat wheat products! The bloating is gone 100%. Bowel movements have increased and I have lost 5 pounds. My thyroid feels normal and my family who didn’t see me in 1 year said that I looks better and healthier. I feel much better!

What was it like before you came to see us?

I had headaches, really high blood pressure, depression, back pain, thyroid problems, digestive problems, and heart palpitations.

How is it now?

I feel great. The depression is completely gone. My thyroid is almost healed. The blood pressure came down 50 points. Back and headaches are minimal and digestive problems are solved to a point that I can digest my food properly and lastly no more heart palpitations.

What was it like before you came to see us?

Before I came to Total Health, my body was very taxed and exhausted. My adrenal and thyroid glands were exhausted as well as other areas of my body. I had trouble with acne and my digestion struggled. My muscle mass had decreased as well

How is it now?

Since coming to Total Health, I have seen significant improvement in the strength of vital organs. My adrenal glands and thyroids now show perfect 10 strength when tested rather than the 0 level strength they showed when tested 2 months ago. My muscle mass has increased and so has my energy. Thank you, Total Health I finally have found some answers after trying several other medical routes.

In October 2012, I was diagnosed with upper respiratory infection. After being treated with three different antibiotics, it was finally diagnosed in January 2013 as Grave’s disease, a thyroid issue. I started seeing an endocrinologist and was put on methimazole.

The major symptoms are severe fatigue, heart palpitations and weight loss subsided but after more than a year on the medication, all the symptoms were not resolved and I was concerned about being on methimazole. Thus my interest spiked when I learned about the seminar at Total Health Center.

After my husband and I attended Marty’s seminar on Thyroid we felt I might benefit from a consultation. Even though only hypothyroidism was discussed and Grave’s disease is hyperthyroidism, maybe Marty’s help could improve my thyroid issues of Grave’s disease. I must admit I was skeptical of the Nutritional Response Testing yet I wanted to know more about my thyroid and sought to understand if supplements and advice would help reduce and eliminate the need for my thyroid medication?

The NRT is a different way of treatment. Am I being fooled? Is this a good choice for my body and my money? Well those were my thoughts and as each office visit was complete and as I read the suggested books I felt more and more confident that this is not foolish and Marty and the staff gave important and accurate information and genuinely cared about their patients. During the 2^nd and 3^rd weeks on the supplements and eating healthier I was feeling more alert, brain fog is dissipating, YEA!

Continuing over the course of weeks under Marty and his nurse’s instructions I felt my body improving. I contribute this to changing my eating habits and taking the suggested supplements.

After the testing I discussed it with my family and come to find out my son-in-law had the same type of testing done and was confident that his testing and follow up are good for his body. It was fun discussing healthy food choices with him and my daughter. I also learned a coworker was following similar guidelines and being tested with NRT. It is good to discuss this with friends that understand.

How expensive will the supplements be? Yes, it can be expensive, any type of eating whether grocery store bill, out to eat bill or supplement cost, it all costs. What helps me is understanding that the food and protein powder and supplements that I am encouraged to try are what my body needs. I am taking this commitment very seriously. My husband is very supportive which makes spending the money easier.

Each week at the office visits I take notes and apply the knowledge to my circumstance. It is important to take time to plan my meals and snacks and shop with that knowledge. This has empowered me. You will wonder how you will find time for this. It will be to your benefit to take the time and then your money will not be wasted. Once you notice the good changes in how you feel and how you enjoy eating more you will feel better about spending your money on the supplements and good food.

There came a time for me to discuss with Marty my need to only concentrate on my endocrine system and not move onto other body organs because of the expense.

My improvements:

• Graves’ disease went into remission (will not know if because of medication or the healthy food choices and supplements more below***)
• Brain fog cleared up
• Hand tremor gone
• Graves’ dermopathy continues to go away, which included: Thick, red skin on my shins, hard growth above my right ankle
• Swollen eye lids reduced greatly
• Graves ophthalmopathy almost gone, which included: double vision, gritty sensation in the eyes, pressure in the eyes, puffy eyelids, light sensitivity
• Hair loss – considerably less
• Continuous phlegm that I had since Oct. 2012 is now gone. My endocrinologist told me phlegm is not part of my Grave’s disease. I contribute the phlegm clearing up due to eating better and drinking the recommended amount of water daily.

Many foods I was encouraged to discontinue. I could not imagine going without milk, bread, sweets, and pasta. But for the most part I have cut those items from my diet. Surprising things I now eat: kale, spaghetti squash, chia seeds, flax oil, coconut oil, protein powder, avocado, lentils, steel cut oats, grass fed beef, and organic butter. These are food items that help my body versus what I was eating that gave no nutritional value.

I am thankful for Marty’s guidance and shared knowledge and the staff’s caring attentiveness.

My glucose went from 136 to 97 and my triglycerides went from 886 to 136! Thank you, Marty for all you have done for our family! My husband continues to lose weight and I am so thankful he has finally chosen to extend his life by taking care of himself.

Over 24 years ago I was diagnosed with Lactose Intolerance. Dairy products were removed from my diet. Years later I discovered the enzyme Lactase that allowed me to add some dairy foods back into my diet. Over the past 10 years my digestive problems increased and I learned that there were other digestive enzymes on the market. I began to experiment and was using 2-4 capsules of digestive enzymes plus Lactase with every meal just so that I could digest food without the typical gas and diarrhea. I spent some time with a general care doctor and went through a battery of test that came up negative. I came to the point where I had removed many good foods from my diet including many vegetables and meats. My ability to digest foods was continuing to decline and I had lost all hope to find a cure. Over the years I had also grown more and more sluggish throughout the day and was having difficulty sleeping. I did not realize these were connected to my diet.

After 1 month of being on supplements and choosing to radically alter my diet, my digestive problems had almost completely disappeared. So we began to work on the “sleep disorder” and my experience of growing tired after meals or general lack of energy. We discovered that my blood sugar levels were very much out of balance and began to work on those along with the digestive disorders. After several months on supplements and sticking to my new diet my “tired spells” have almost completely disappeared, I have more energy than before, and my digestion continues to be in good condition. Now we are working to gain stability with my new diet and maintain the energy levels while working for better sleep at night. I thank God for Dr. Johnson.

After working with Martin Johnson and the Total Health Complementary Medicine Clinic, I’ve nearly lost 22lbs in three weeks on a detoxification and cleanse program.

To date, I have lost a total of 47lbs since I began the cleanse in August. I feel so much better! The cleanse really got me on the right path to eating smarter and healthier. Although I still have my moments of falling off the wagon, it’s much easier to get back on track. Thank you!

What was it like before you came to see us?

I was so sick of dieting and exercising with no results. It was like my body stopped responding to both. I felt bloated all the time, felt heavy, had mood swings, my periods were long, painful and frequent. My energy level was not what it used to be. I felt like a mess and I didn’t want to be on my way to being a fat, old, loser. I knew because I was over 50, that my metabolism would change, but I was not willing to go there! I’m so grateful that I found Marty Johnson- who put me on the purification program.

How is it now?

It’s so true that it takes 21 days to form a habit. I can’t believe the changes! Giving up caffeine was the best thing (I was drinking one pot of coffee per day). Water is my new best friend. – I don’t have any sugar cravings (which is a miracle). My mood swings are gone – my period is normal. Now I crave vegetables and brown rice! The bonus is I lost 25lbs! I love it, my husband loves it, I’m hooked on eating and drinking healthy- it’s so worth it. Thank you!

What was it like before you came to see us?

I have been a healthy eater yet I had been up and down in weight for 3 years. I had been losing and gaining in Weight Watchers. I realized when I ate sugar, I craved it more and ate it often. My lower abdomen was usually distended and painful for a long time. I would eat and I would bloat. I felt very tired and stressed most of the time. I slept often and had low energy during the day. I was feeling somewhat depressed and frustrated with feeling so lethargic and stressed.

How is it now?

After 3 months of following the eating plan and supplements, I am refreshed. I have found I do not get sick often and I have so much more energy. My abdomen feels great and I have no more distress and bloating. I have been able to lose the weight and continue to slowly lose within my range. I think the biggest change has resulted in dealing with my stress. I find that it does not overcome me and I have been able to create a more balanced life. I feel more in control and physically I couldn’t feel better. I sleep a restful sleep and I feel satisfied nutritionally. I feel that if I veer off the eating plan, I do feel tired and sick almost immediately. I have told myself the off limits foods are poison to my system. I have found cooking very easy, I eat often and don’t have any cravings.

What was it like before you came to see us?

I was overweight, feeling tired, borderline diabetic, and had borderline high blood pressure.

How is it now?

I am feeling more energetic. I have lost a total of 14lbs and have learned to watch the amount of sugars and carbs I consume.

What was it like before you came to see us?

I was always tired, no energy. I had trouble sleeping and it seemed that every time I ate, it hurt my stomach.

How is it now?

In just a few months I am sleeping better, eating foods that now don’t hurt my stomach and I have more energy. I have had to change lots of my diet, which at first I wasn’t sure I could even do, now I’m so glad that I did and I don’t miss any of the junk that I was eating. Feeling better and sleeping better has helped me so much. Thank you Dr. Marty.

What was it like before you came to see us?

Constant burning in my throat for 3 1/2 years. Burning pain from my throat to my stomach most times. Bowels not moving very well for 3 ½ years.

How is it now?

All of the above problems have cleared up and I am feeling great!

What was it like before you came to see us?

I was in my sixties, when I heard about Total Health Natural Medicine Clinic. I was overweight, asthmatic, tired, and prone to anxiety. In fact I was so tired that I always had to decide whether I would take a nap before or after a job – or both! I also felt anxious over activities that had never bothered me before – even though seven grandchildren were a good excuse to feel anxiety. At my last doctor’s appointment, my cholesterol and blood sugar levels had risen too. At my age, I knew I had to make a commitment to improve my health.  

How is it now?

I feel 10 years younger! I have consistent energy, have lost 10 pounds and can handle life better. I still am amazed that I don’t think constantly about napping! However, I should mention that feeling better is not a short term project. I have gone to Total Heath Natural Medicine Clinic for almost a year and have exercised 3-6 hours a week for over a year. I really feel good about the future whereas before I felt too old, too soon.

When I first came to see Marty Johnson, my main concern was high levels of cholesterol with secondary issues of hair loss, brittle nails, and leg cramps. I was given instruction on healthy eating habits along with aggregate supplements and daily aerobic exercise. I made a bold commitment to discipline myself to follow these guidelines faithfully (which is one important key to my success). It is now a permanent lifestyle which I reaping the benefits of victory over high cholesterol (secondary symptoms subsiding) and balanced overall health.

How is it now?

Here are the stats:

Age: 63

Sex: Female

                Before                                                  After

Cholesterol               244                                   160

HDL                          63                                     58

LDL                           172                                    92

Weight                       122                                   108

This was accomplished in a 4 month period. I would recommend this clinic to anyone.

What was it like before you came to see us?

Before I came to Total Health, I had chronic fatigue, blood vessels popping in my hands, painful knee joins, sluggish mentally, depression, digestive gas, bruised easily, and had ringing in my ears.

How is it now?

Now my mental alertness is much better. I don’t bruise easily or pop vessels in my hands. I have no gas, my knees don’t hurt at all, my depression is at least 75% better, I have more energy and I’ve lost 12lbs. I’ve changed the food I buy and eat and I’m enjoying buying size 4 & 6 pants instead of size 8.

What was it like before you came to see us?

I generally felt a lack of energy and increasingly periods of highs & lows with regard to mental focus and agility. I was having some difficulties with weight fluctuation and sometimes a feeling of being bloated. At times I would also have periods of feeling anxious that would impact my general sense of well-being.

How is your health now?

I am making excellent progress. I feel much more focused and no longer feel that afternoon drop of energy. I no longer experience the feeling of always being tired and fatigued. My weight has steadily dropped 5 months into the program. I have lost 15lbs throughout my journey. I have made collective measures in my diet and lo longer feel lethargic or bloated. In general, have improved sense of well-being.

What was it like before you came to see us?

I was very tired all the time. For many years I needed to lose some weight. I had a very poor diet and was not eating very nutritionally.

How is your health now?

Much improvement, thanks to Kristine and Nikki I have learned a lot about proper nutrition, toxins, and metals. Every visit I was given a lot of practical, useful information. I have lost about 14lbs. and have a lot more energy than I use to. 

According to my clinic records from March 2006 to March 2007, I’ve lost a total of 30 lbs. This past Friday, I got out of bed and have a lot more energy than I have had in I don’t know how long. I can’t remember when my energy levels felt this good. The neat thing is that my energy level has stayed at a high all weekend, and even thru today.

What was it like before you came to see us?

Before I came to see Dr. Johnson, I was miserable. I was stuffy and congested, had shortness of breath, my eyes burned and itched, and I was tired all the time. I felt my allergies were getting worse as days went by. I was also bloated, constipated, had frequent headaches, muscle aches and stiffness. My diet was not balanced and had too much sugar.

How is it now?

Dr. Johnson helped me with new eating habits and supplements. I felt so much better. In two weeks I could breathe better, my eyes felt 100% better. I was not bloated and constipated anymore. No muscle aches and stiffness as well. Dr. Johnson helped me improve my health and feel so much better.

What was it like before you came to see us?

I constantly had a stomach ache and had no energy since I didn’t feel good.

How is it now?

I very rarely have a stomach ache. I feel 100% better after giving up dairy, wheat, and most sugars. As a bonus, I lost about 50 lbs.

What was it like before you came to see us?

I came to Total Health Natural Medicine Clinic on the recommendation of a couple of co-workers even though I felt healthy. I opt out of the health insurance offered at my job so I was looking for some health assurance. While I was working on healing a couple organs with low energy, I learned how to improve my already decent diet. I substituted whole wheat bread and tortillas with vegetables and low-sugar fruit. Now I pair a healthy protein with a fruit or vegetable for each of my 5-6 meals. Without going to the gym, I lost about 10-15 lbs. in four months.

How is it now?

I find it easy to maintain my current, ideal weight. The health and nutrition knowledge I received from Total Health is not only priceless, but empowering as well.

What was it like before you came to see us?

I felt terrible all the time. My stomach was consistently bloated. I was had arthritis on my feet, knees, and fingers. By the end of the day, my ankles would be swollen and hurting. I had shortness of breath when going up a small flight of steps. I ate way too many carbs and sweets. I always craved salty and sugary foods. Bread was one of my favorite staples. My heart was bad, I had thyroid issues, I was anxious and my health was not balanced at all. 

How is it now?

I feel great. I have always been into taking supplements but probably not the right ones. Dr. Marty has me on what works best for my body. I had been told before to give up wheat/gluten and dairy but never did it. I am so glad I finally listened to my body. I know now that this caused my diarrhea and constipation issues all these years. My stomach is not bloated, and I have more energy. My swelling has greatly reduced in my feet, knees and fingers and the pain is gone too! I do not crave sweets or salty things anymore. I look at food in a whole different manner now. Plus, I’ve lost weight! Thanks Dr. Marty. You’re the BEST!

What was it like before you came to see us?

Heart beat was irregular and weak. I got tired quickly and could not stay awake past 9pm. My physical activity was severely limited. Over exertion caused me to get out of breath quickly. My cardiologist diagnosed me with permanent atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions and thickening and hardening of left ventricle.

How is it now?

I have a lot more energy and rarely run out of breath. My problems that were supposedly permanent, are now completely gone. This has been confirmed by my cardiologist and testing by Total Health Clinic. Best part of all this is now I can stay up past midnight!

Since I’ve been working on my program with Total Health, I now find it easy to maintain my current ideal weight. The health and nutrition knowledge I received from Total Health is not only priceless, but empowering as well.

Before working with Total Health, I had problems with persistent psoriasis, trouble falling asleep and relaxing, was overweight, and had ugly yellowing fingernails. Now, I am still on topical medication for psoriasis but my skin has stayed the clearest it has been for as long as I can remember. My fingernails have improved as well. I have lost 15 lbs., fall asleep without a problem most nights, and have more energy than ever.

What was your health like before you came to see us?

I was very sluggish with no energy. My cholesterol was very high and I had weight gain with other menopausal symptoms.

How is your health now?

Fantastic! My cholesterol is under control. I have a lot of energy and my weight is also under control.  My hot flashes are gone!

Looking back at my recent laboratory tests, which I had done on 9/7, they were within normal acceptable limits. With the help of Total Health Nutrition Center, working together we have cured the diabetes by my weight loss exercise and lifestyle changes.

I always knew for 20 years, I was overweight. What I didn’t know is what is was really doing to my body. The pasta, rice, ice cream, bread, accompanied with eating late, led to daily heartburn. Not being much of a fitness guru, exercise was something I never cared to do.

Back in the summer of 2010, I found out I had arthritis in my left hip. Weight does play a role on your bodies joints. Forward to December of 2011, I had acquired Type 2 Diabetes, what was I to do? My doctor suggested I see a dietician/nutritionist. January of 2012, I purchased an elliptical exercise machine and started some basic workouts. February 2012, I met with Kristine Stein at Total Health Nutrition Center.

Working with Total Health Nutrition Center has me feeling better than I’ve ever felt in almost 25 years. Praise God and thank you Total Health! I am losing weight and my energy levels have improved.

Losing weight, improving my nutrition, and increasing my energy levels throughout the day were my main concerns when I first walked into Total Health Nutrition Center. Throughout my health journey at Total Health, I learned to listen to my body and learned that victories aren’t always on the scale. Paige Welsh was a huge inspiration, she educated me about living a more holistic and healthy life by balancing my social, mental, and physical health. My favorite improvement thus far is my increase in energy levels and my overall healthy lifestyle change that was all achieved through Total Health.

Before coming to Total Health, I was pretty much at my lowest point physically that I have ever been. After working on my program for 6 months I have lost weight, but most importantly my health is greatly improved. I feel so much better and energetic.

What was your health like before you came to see us?

Many times I felt exhausted with no ambition. I have been battling an autoimmune disease and minor weight issues.

How is your health now?

I have improved significantly – I have much more energy and ambition to live a full life with many activities. I have lost weight and feel wonderful again.

What was your health like before?

I had problems with persistent psoriasis, trouble falling asleep and relaxing, was overweight, and had ugly yellowish fingernails.

How is your health now?

I have lost 15 pounds, fall asleep without a problem most nights, and have more energy than ever.

What was your health like before you came to see us?

I have Crone’s and I was not feeling well. I didn’t know how to take better care of my health.

How is your health now?

I am doing so much better. I have lost 14 pounds and I am eating better and feeling great! I also have cut back on my regular meds from the doctor.

What was your health like before you came to see us?

Prior to coming to Total Health, my weight was in excess, and my energy level much lower. Since I started to take vitamins on a regular basis daily, my energy level has drastically increased.
