Justin Abbott, D.O.

Board-Certified Family Medicine · Functional Medicine Practitioner · Salina, Utah

Dr. Abbott founded Abbott Health & Wellness to give Central Utah access to the kind of care that addresses the whole patient — not just the symptom on today's chart. He brings board-certified family medicine training to a functional medicine model that looks at root causes, real labs, and real conversation.

His patients came from Salina, Richfield, Manti, and across Sevier County for care that simply wasn't available locally before Abbott opened its doors.

Founded by Dr. Abbott in 2017, Abbott Health & Wellness is now owned and operated by Katie and Matt Mogle, with clinical care led today by McKell Johnson, FNP-BC and the Abbott clinical team.

Why This Work Is Personal

He Didn't Just Study Root-Cause Medicine. He Lived It.

Dr. Abbott finished his residency in 2010 and spent the next seven years practicing family medicine within Intermountain Healthcare (IHC) before opening Abbott Health & Wellness as an independent practice in 2017. Along the way, he sat across from hundreds of patients working through the same struggles with weight, energy, and hormones — and it took years of that work before he recognized the same patterns creeping into his own health.

Instead of reaching for a quick fix, he did what he built the practice to do for its patients: real labs, an honest look at lifestyle, and a plan built around the actual cause — not just the symptom. Over time, he lost 100 pounds, using the same whole-person approach that still shapes every exam room at Abbott today.

"I don't ask my patients to do anything I haven't done myself. I know what it feels like to be stuck — and I know what it actually takes to change."— Justin Abbott, D.O.

His Approach

Family Medicine Training. A Functional Medicine Lens.

Osteopathic medicine trains physicians to see the body as an interconnected whole — not a collection of isolated parts. Dr. Abbott built that foundation into Abbott Health & Wellness's functional medicine practice, where every patient intake starts with the full picture: history, lifestyle, genetics, labs, and goals.

In Central Utah, that kind of care has historically required a drive to Salt Lake City. Dr. Abbott built Abbott Health & Wellness to change that — bringing specialist-level thinking to a small-town practice, the kind where patients and providers know each other by name.

His particular areas of focus were hormone optimization, medical weight loss, ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant mental health conditions, and IV vitamin therapy — all within the broader functional medicine framework that Abbott Health & Wellness continues to build on today.

"The body already knows how to heal. Our job is figuring out what's getting in the way — and then getting out of the way so it can." — Justin Abbott, D.O., Founder

What Makes Osteopathic Medicine Different

D.O. physicians complete the same rigorous medical training as M.D.s — and additionally train in osteopathic manipulative medicine and a whole-body philosophy of care. In functional medicine practice, this translates to a more holistic view of symptoms, causes, and treatment planning.
