In 2011, she was honored to be invited as one of twelve speakers at the Cleveland HeartLab Annual Symposium. Her program, "Seven Strategies For Prescribing HRT & Cardiovascular Implications", represented AMA Category 1 Continuing Medical Education (CME) for keeping physicians up-to-date on the very latest evidence-based research and methods.

She has no financial ties with any pharmaceutical company. Her book provides break-through research explaining why topical bioidentical hormones, in the form of pharmaceutical patches, gels and mist products are safer and more reliable than oral synthetic and compounded hormones. (27.25-7-16) REVIEWS "I've been a patient of Dr. Johnson's for 4 years now. Lousy quality of life, fat and miserable when I found her, she has changed my life. I now love living, have lost 40 pounds, feel and look 30 years younger and only intend to get better. You owe it to yourself and the women in your life to read this book. Following her program is not easy or quick, but it's well worth the time and effort you spend. I'll never go back to the way I was. There are two most important women in my life: my mother, who gave me life; and Dr. Marina Johnson, who made it worth living again." Celia Trimble Attorney "An absolute must read for all adult females. Her Johnson Menopause Method is evidence-based and backed up by 30 years of continuing clinical experience. From a medical standpoint, her method contains excellent concepts which are all too often missing in current clinical medicine. It is refreshing to read a book that is obviously divorced from medical industry bias. Her willingness to share her wealth of knowledge is commendable. Her book empowers women with essential information that will allow them to take responsibility for their own well being. Healthcare providers who deliver hormone replacement therapy should be required to read this book." Dr. Bradley F. Bale Co-Founder of the Bale/Doneen Method Clinical Professor Texas Tech School of Medicine "Outliving Your Ovaries is a must read for every woman. Not only because it demystifies so many controversial and conflicting views in treating menopause, but mostly because one can put that book down and feel absolutely empowered. Women can now have the intelligent and informed conversation with their doctors about their bodies that so many of us have struggled to have. Dr. Johnson helps us to understand - with honesty, and decades of research - the real risks and real benefits of how you treat your body during your child-bearing and menopausal years. It's not that this book goes out of its way to criticize or put down others' work, conclusions or opinions. It's that Outliving Your Ovaries gives women a FAIR view, one that isn't backed by a pharmaceutical company, Hollywood cult phenomenon, or other financial directive. And because Dr. Johnson speaks on our behalf without that pressure, I personally find her word trustworthy. But trust is not the only reason to listen, Dr. Johnson's credentials also speak for themselves. She is a trained pharmacist and endocrinologist, giving her unique perspective on risk and benefit of Hormone Replacement Therapy valuable weight. I have read and re-read this work since it was first published, discussed it with my doctor, and with confidence, taken an active role in my health and treatment. I've gifted this book to my mother and sisters because I love and care about them. I recommend this book to anyone who is a woman or cares deeply about one! It will change your life."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helps women break through the tired and hurtful stereotypes of aging to better reflect who they are, how they live, and what they want as they age. Who hasn’t heard the stereotypes about women of a "certain age?” That’s the age when women become invisible, irrelevant, undesirable, asexual, unhinged, dried-up, hormonal messes. It’s when women quickly slide into fragility and become forgetful, passive, weak, feeble, debilitated, disabled, dependent, and depressed. Or so the story goes. Not only are those outdated narratives sexist and ageist, they are also damaging to women’s physical, emotional, financial, romantic, and sexual health. It’s time to change them. In Not Too Old for That, Vicki Larson helps change the narrative about being a woman at midlife and older. She questions what we’ve been told aging would be like and encourages us to instead ask ourselves, what do we want it to be like, and how can we get there? The key is to be curious, open-minded, and intentional about the ways we are becoming our future selves.We have an opportunity to create new narratives of aging as a woman, ones that value women at all stages of life, not just youth, and it starts with us. Once the stereotypes that have held women back are broken down, women can move past them and rather than feel helpless as the years add up, they can discover and tap into just how much agency they have. Not only will this book help to create a less-ageist, less-sexist, more-inclusive future, it will release our daughters and all young women from a similar future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revolutionary, personalized guide to preventing heart disease—America’s #1 killer Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in America. It affects 81 million Americans and is the culprit in one of every two deaths in the United States. Most people think that they are not at risk of a heart attack if they control their cholesterol and blood pressure, but they aren’t aware of other major risk factors. The good news is that with the right information and strategies, heart attacks are preventable—even if heart disease runs in the family. In Beat the Heart Attack Gene, world-renowned cardiovascular specialists Bradley Bale, MD and Amy Doneen, ARNP, present a new model for understanding and preventing heart disease. They explain the three different genetic types of cholesterol profiles and tailor treatments for each type, using their cutting-edge Bale/Doneen Method, a comprehensive, evidence-based medical treatment plan that detects cardiovascular disease (CVD) at early stages and stabilizes it with individualized medical and lifestyle therapy. Beat the Heart Attack Gene includes easy quizzes and self-tests that show how to determine cholesterol genotype as well as advice for how to apply that knowledge through and individualized lifestyle advice. For heart attack and stroke survivors, the Bale/Doneen Method also helps prevent recurrences by identifying and treating what's triggering the patient's disease—a crucial step that many cardiologists neglect. With their proven method utilized by healthcare professionals worldwide, Bale and Doneen empower readers by alerting them to potential health threats, and then offer personalized strategies so they can live healthy, active lives without fear of heart attack or stroke. Specifically, Beat the Heart Attack Gene addresses: *The hidden cause of most heart attacks *Early prevention methods *The dangerous cholesterol most doctors don’t check *Major red flags for heart attack and stroke risk, including gum disease *The genes that increase cardiovascular risk as much as smoking *The best and worst supplements and foods for your heart *10 surprising ways to prevent heart attacks

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” James 1:17 NIV Joe and Tahni Cullen’s life spun into supernatural mode when their seven-year-old, nonverbal autistic son, Josiah, who had never been traditionally taught to read or write, suddenly typed his first independent sentence on an iPad: God is a good gift giver. As told in the book Josiah’s Fire, God unlocked Josiah’s spiritual senses to the deep joys of heaven—renewing their hope, joy, and excitement for God’s Word, power, and presence. Josiah’s gems on their Josiah’s Fire Facebook page delight people from around the world with his wise, thought-provoking insights. This 21-day devotional unites three inspired voices—Tahni Cullen, Josiah Cullen, and Cheryl Ricker—as they share Josiah’s revelatory quotes, personal stories, Scripture for meditation, and prompts for reflection. You will see that blessings come in unexpected forms, personally prepared for you by the good gift giver himself. When received as gifts, these blessings will increase your gratitude, joy, and hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.

Book excerpt: Given the rapidly developing area of evolutionary medicine and public health, The Arc of Life examines ways in which research conducted by biological anthropologists can enrich our understanding of variation in human health outcomes. The book aims not only to showcase the perspective that biological anthropologists bring to the burgeoning field of evolutionary medicine, but to underscore the context of human life history -- especially the concept of evolutionary trade-offs and the ensuing biological processes that can affect health status over the life course. This dual emphasis on life history theory and life cycle biology will make for a valuable and unique, yet complementary, addition to books already available on the subject of evolution and health. The book consolidates diverse lines of research within the field of biological anthropology, stimulates new directions for future research, and facilitates communication between subdisciplines of human biology operating at the forefront of evolutionary medicine.

Book excerpt: Die Whimpering, Die Defiantly Convicted of false criminal charges and forced from his soft, academic life into the purgatory of the modern prison system, survival is not the first rule, it becomes the only rule. Die Whimpering or Die Defiantly. Those are the choices presented to Professor Arthur Chesterfield. To avoid his grotesque death sentence, he agrees to participate in a secret military program. A program designed to test his genetic code - for ten years. But why are recruits exterminated, and why must he perform continuous suicide missions? Then years later, known only as Roper 3001, one of the most hellish soldiers ever forged in the history of humankind, and the most unlikely of modern heroes of epic survivability, he must finally confront not just the diabolical evils of the world and the nightmares crawling within his subconscious mind, but ultimately, he must decide whether or not he still has a soul connecting him to the human race.
