    Sustainable Wellness and Johnna Sutton

    Topics People often have more in common than they realize. The pandemic has led to feelings of political homelessness for many. Conversations about health and nutrition are often avoided due to fear of offending others. The importance of questioning the narrative around health and wellness. Misinformation on social media can lead to confusion and fear. Community health initiatives are crucial during crises. The role of vaccines in public health is a contentious topic. Informed consent is essential for making health decisions. Recent Senate hearings have shed light on vaccine testing and safety. The rise of chronic diseases in children raises important questions about public health. The controversy surrounding vaccines often leads to blame on parents for children's health issues. Chronic diseases in children are influenced by multiple factors, not just parental choices. There is a lack of comprehensive studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children. Nutritional choices play a crucial role in public health and individual health outcomes. Environmental toxins significantly impact health and immune function. Open conversations about health are essential for understanding and addressing public health issues. Healthy eating can be challenging, especially for those on a budget. Light exposure and sleep are critical for maintaining health, especially during colder months. Critical thinking is necessary when evaluating health information and policies. Genetic predispositions can affect individual responses to vaccines and environmental toxins.

    Nutritionist Johnna Sutton, Part 2

    PART 2 Johnna earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sustainable Agriculture from UC Davis in 2000. During her time at UC Davis, Johnna took courses in nutrition, exercise physiology, and eventually became certified as a personal trainer. However, her more holistic approach to healing the whole person through connecting unique “human-ness” with real food, its sourcing, and authentic movement and emotional and spiritual connection, was not as recognized in the late 1990s, causing her to re-route her life. After teaching middle school science for several years, traveling and working internationally, and working as a paralegal with underserved populations, Johnna found her way to Montana to a law degree from the University of Montana in 2009. As a successful criminal defense attorney for over 12 years, Johnna developed a reputation as utilizing a holistic approach to working with those suffering from mental health and addiction issues, including the professionals who work in the field. Over time, Johnna’s passion for helping people from a holistic approach re-surfaced. At the same time, functional medicine was making its debut in Montana, re-igniting her desire to work with people to fully realize their best lives. She began her Master’s Degree in Clinical Nutrition in 2020 and graduated from the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy in 2021, becoming a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC). When not working with clients in either her legal practice or functional nutrition capacity, Johnna enjoys growing things in the dirt, raising a variety of farm animals, and spending as much time as possible with her amazingly supportive husband, and two young children on their fledgling homestead along the Blackfoot River outside of Missoula, Montana.
