Background

About Linnette M. Johnson

I love my work as a Clinical Nutritionist, Health & Wellness Coach, Researcher, and Mentor—but I hate selling myself. So, here are six things about me and my work: 1⃣ I am a curvy, tattooed professional in nutrition and health coaching. My private practice, 5 Elements Coaching LLC, is size-inclusive and focused on mental health while addressing other medical nutrition needs. I work alongside two CNS practitioners, and we accept health insurance - currently transitioning to Berry Street for all health insurance needs so we can offer more options. 2⃣ I taught nutrition and mindfulness in recovery houses and rehabs for three years through a nonprofit. That passion led me to become a CNS Supervisor through Sprouting Nutritionists and Coaches (SNC)—hence five LDN licenses. Now, as an adjunct professor, I continue to plant seeds for future nutritionists and health coaches. 3⃣ I am a published clinical researcher with two published articles, and ongoing projects. I’m passionate about increasing science-backed evidence in nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and beyond, especially in relation to mental health, veterans, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities. I founded Integrative Synergy Research Collaborative (ISRC) to further these efforts. Currently, I work as a Clinical Research Coordinator II for Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC)/ University of Utah, expanding my focus in clinical research. 4⃣ Education fuels me. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Nutrition, two Master’s degrees (Clinical Nutrition & Health and Wellness Coaching with Herbal), several post-baccalaureate certifications (Health & Wellness Coaching, Ayurveda, and Herbal), a Bachelor’s in Legal Studies, and multiple credentials, certifications, and memberships. I love learning and growing—both personally and professionally. Currently, finishing the Clincial Research Coordinator Certification at Boston University School of Medicine. 5⃣ I foster safe spaces for healing through private practice, research, mentoring, teaching, speaking, and workshops. Supporting wellness, body acceptance, and food relationships is my way of changing the world—one person at a time. 6⃣ Outside of work, I’m just me. I spend time with family and friends, cook, garden, read, watch movies, hike, camp, and tackle DIY projects. I love to travel—one day, I’ll finally get that passport stamp. Let’s connect!
