John Carlston became a doctor at age 38 to find the solution to his wife’s MS, which  doctors had failed at. He’s a 31-year survivor of a bone cancer diagnosis which was supposed to kill him in six months. He chose to fight his patient’s breast cancer at its source and ended up losing his license as a result.

One guiding principle of his career is this: take control of what you can control and work to solve the problem. He learned this from Bill Fleming, his astronaut uncle and Project Manager for three NASA space shuttles (his team returned the catastrophic Apollo 13 back to earth). 

His Wellness Dominos book introduces you to your body’s checklist, scorecard, and algorithm for your best quality of life. For success, pilots flying complex aircraft, professional teams, and coaches all keep scorecards and an algorithm for success. This will be yours.

He has been a doctor for 29 years, is 67 years old and celebrates 41 years of marriage to Angi. She is one of the most important choices he made in his life. Together, they had two children, Christian and Nicole. Christian and his wife Amanda, have blessed them with their adorable granddaughter, Lucy.
