S1 Episode 078 - Interview with April Johnson the Founder of Journey to Healthy Living

April Johnson is a Functional Medicine Health Coach and the Founder of Journey to Healthy Living. She graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in January 2017. While at IIN she was trained on numerous coaching methods and educated on 100 dietary theories.

After completing her education with IIN and graduated as a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, she felt a calling to learn more about the interconnectedness of the body and how she could really help her clients on a much deeper level. This is when she gravitated toward learning functional medicine concepts. She enrolled into The School of Applied Functional Medicine in September 2018. She completed her 1st semester in April 2019 and passed her Level 1 exam for her certification in the following months. She is currently enrolled in her 2nd semester that started in September 2019. She is working on obtaining her certification as an Applied Functional Medicine Health Coach this year.

She got into health coaching because of her own health and wellness journey. She started learning about the food industry back in 2010. Once she learned about processed food, additives, preservatives, and GMO’s, she and her husband decided that they needed to change the way they were eating. They both got heavily involved with March Against Monsanto rallies and made a trip to Washington DC when the DARK act was being introduced. From food, she continued self-educating herself in the health and wellness area. Her and her husband started making changes to their food and lifestyle by adding a garden, canning, raising chickens, planting native flowers for bees and butterflies, and supporting the local farmers.

As she was on her own journey, she began to see how many people were truly sick. These people had been dealing with their symptoms for so many years and felt there was no way they could ever feel normal again. She wanted to let them know that they don’t have to accept this as their way of living. That you don’t have to accept feeling like crap every single day. She wanted to be a source of hope to others that they can feel well and get back to their normal selves.

Her education taught her that with every health-related symptom there is a root cause, and this is unique to every individual. It’s all about putting the puzzle pieces together to locate what that root cause is and that’s what she does with her clients. She loves being a health detective and help her clients find what works for them so that they are thriving again.

As a FM Health Coach, she knows that every person is unique and so should the approach to helping them in their health journey. She educates her clients on the fundamentals when it comes to health and is there to empower her clients as they make the necessary changes to their food and lifestyle.
