About Kristen Johnson, MD
Dr. Johnson is interested in obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and other insulin resistance-related metabolic disease. She enjoys working with women on lifestyle approaches to improve fertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome and menopausal changes. Dr. Johnson loves anything outdoors: downhill skiing, hiking and she is working on running. Other favorites are traveling, reading, cooking, knitting, yoga and meditation. She has two growing boys, and their care and feeding is quickly becoming another specialty.Philosophy of care
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to obesity and its complications. Every person has their own story of weight, and how it has impacted their life and relationships. I prioritize understanding that story in developing an evidence-based treatment plan for patients.Gender
