Jennifer Johnson, MS, RD, LDN is a Licensed and Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist who provides individualized nutrition counseling online via telehealth. She specializes in gastrointestinal and gut health, including IBS, SIBO, and IBD, as well as supporting women through peri-menopause and menopause. Jennifer also works with patients managing histamine intolerance, autoimmune disorders, and food allergies, including those with EDS, mast cell activation, and related sensitivities.

A native North Carolinian, Jennifer earned her Bachelor’s of Science in Sociology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After deciding to pursue a second career, she completed her Master’s of Science in Nutrition at Meredith College and went on to earn her Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner (IFNCP) credential through the Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy. During her dietetic internship with North Carolina Central University, Jennifer worked with outpatient counseling practices, the Interfaith Food Shuttle, and Central Regional Hospital, where she later served as a clinical dietitian. There, she created and led a 12-week nutrition education and cooking program while providing medical nutrition therapy for her units.

At Summerfield Custom Wellness, Jennifer values the patient-led approach to care and enjoys helping patients feel comfortable and confident as they move forward in their health journeys. She has strengthened her expertise in gastrointestinal health and autoimmune conditions and enjoys collaborating with colleagues to share knowledge across specialties. Several years ago, Jennifer suffered from a debilitating chronic illness that greatly impacted her day-to-day life. Through functional and integrative nutrition, she restored her health, quality of life, and mobility. This inspired her to pursue a career as a dietitian to empower others with the knowledge and tools to promote their own positive health outcomes.

Jennifer’s approach is rooted in compassion, empowerment, and education. With a background in teaching, she enjoys breaking down complex nutrition concepts into digestible, practical steps that make sense for each patient. Her mission is to provide individualized, holistic care in a supportive environment where patients feel equipped to make sustainable lifestyle changes. Jennifer believes in giving individuals the knowledge and confidence they need to take charge of their health and celebrate progress along the way.
