Hello there! I’m Carolyn Johnson, and I’m thrilled to introduce you to the world of hormone health and what we’re doing at Serenity NP Integrative Health.
Whether this is your first time meeting me, or we've been working together for years, I want to share a bit about my journey and how I became passionate about hormone health. I’ve been where you are—searching for answers, seeking balance, and striving for optimal health. That’s what drives me every day to help women like you find the harmony and vitality you deserve.
My Journey in Women’s Health
I began my career in healthcare after graduating from Loyola Niehoff School of Nursing in Chicago with a Master’s degree in Nursing in 2005. But my journey started much earlier. I’ve been a Registered Nurse since 1995, working in areas like Labor and Delivery, ICU, and the NICU. These experiences deepened my understanding of women’s health, and I quickly realized this was my calling.
For the past 19 years, I’ve been in private practice, focusing on women’s health and mental health. I’m board-certified as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and also certified in Functional Medicine with the American Board of Anti-Aging Health Practitioners. These certifications allow me to blend conventional and holistic approaches, creating a truly integrative experience for my patients.
Why I Became the Hormone Health Specialist
Hormone health isn’t just a specialty for me—it’s a passion. I’ve seen how powerful balanced hormones can be in a woman’s life. Hormones are like the body’s messengers, controlling everything from mood and energy levels to metabolism and reproductive health. When they’re out of balance, you can feel it deeply. And I don’t just mean feeling a little off—I’m talking about the kind of fatigue, mood swings, and frustration that make it hard to enjoy life.
I’ve dedicated my career to helping women identify and treat the root causes of their symptoms, not just masking them. Whether it’s through Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), lifestyle changes, or a combination of both, my goal is to help you regain control and feel like yourself again.
A Holistic Approach to Wellness
At Serenity NP, I take a holistic approach to wellness. This means looking at the whole picture—your physical health, mental well-being, lifestyle habits, and even your emotional and spiritual needs. I’m not just here to treat symptoms; I’m here to help you achieve balance and harmony in all areas of your life.
I believe in the power of a personalized treatment plan, one that’s tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re dealing with perimenopause, menopause, or just feeling like something’s “off,” we’ll work together to create a plan that works for you.
Balancing Hormones Naturally
Balancing hormones isn’t just about taking medication—it’s about creating a lifestyle that supports your overall health. This includes proper nutrition, regular exercise, stress management, and ensuring you’re getting the right vitamins and minerals. At Serenity NP, we explore every option to help you feel your best.
Our integrative approach includes:
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT): Natural hormones that mimic what your body naturally produces, helping to alleviate symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, and reduced libido.
Functional Medicine: We look beyond just treating symptoms to understand the root causes of your hormone imbalance.
Nutritional Support: Guiding you toward a diet that supports hormone balance and overall health.
Stress Management: Techniques to reduce stress, which plays a huge role in hormone health.
Lifestyle Coaching: Support in creating and maintaining healthy habits that keep your hormones in check.

We’ll take the time to dive deep into your health history, current symptoms, and lifestyle factors to develop a comprehensive understanding of what’s going on.
From there, we’ll create a plan that addresses all aspects of your well-being. This might include BHRT, nutritional support, stress management techniques, or other holistic therapies. The goal is to help you feel your best, naturally.
