Johanna Altman, Matt Altman’s wife, is a wellness entrepreneur, podcast host, and advocate for healthier living. She is the founder of One Body Medicine, a Beverly Hills-based wellness center focused on regenerative therapies, cellular health, and longevity.
Her journey into wellness began with curiosity. As a mother of three and a lifelong learner, Johanna started reading food labels, asking questions, and researching what truly supports long-term health. That curiosity led to surprising discoveries about the ingredients in everyday foods—especially seed oils—and inspired her to create a platform for education and change.
Through her Pure Wellness Podcast, Johanna has built a community of listeners who want practical, science-backed health insights. The show features conversations with doctors, scientists, and thought leaders, exploring topics like hormone health, functional nutrition, and ancient healing practices.
Johanna’s approach to wellness blends modern science with traditional wisdom. She believes small, mindful changes can have a big impact, and she encourages people to make choices that work for their lifestyle. “As long as we minimize and we’re mindful, we should be okay,” she says.
Her work is also powered by her entrepreneurial mindset. With years of experience building businesses and leading teams, she understands how to bring big ideas to life. Today, she uses that skill set to grow her wellness brand, expand her reach, and help people make informed decisions about their health.
Matt Altman’s wife’s mission is clear: empower individuals to take control of their well-being through knowledge, awareness, and sustainable daily practices.
Prompt 2 – Q&A on the Topic of Success (500–750 words)
Q: You’ve shifted from a career in real estate to leading a wellness business. How do you define success?
Johanna: For me, success is living in alignment with my values and creating something that genuinely helps people. I’ve built businesses before, but the difference now is that I feel completely connected to the purpose behind what I do. When I get messages from people saying they’ve made a small change because of something they heard on my podcast, that’s success.
Q: What’s a lesson from your early career that still applies today?
Johanna: In real estate, I learned that preparation and relationships are everything. Deals fall apart if you don’t pay attention to the details, but they also fall apart if you don’t build trust. In wellness, it’s the same. If I’m researching a topic for the podcast—like seed oils—I do a deep dive. I want my listeners to know they can trust that I’ve done my homework.
Q: You’ve talked a lot about seed oils on your podcast. What’s the connection between that topic and your definition of success?
Johanna: Success for me includes being willing to dig into uncomfortable truths. When I first learned that cottonseed oil was originally used as industrial lubricant, I thought, “Why aren’t more people talking about this?” Success is not just knowing the information—it’s having the courage to share it, even when it challenges the status quo.
Q: What habits have helped you maintain focus and drive?
Johanna: I break big goals into small, consistent actions. For example, I don’t try to overhaul my entire diet overnight. I swap one product at a time for something cleaner. That mindset—start small, but be consistent—has helped me in business too. It keeps me from burning out.
Q: Was there a turning point where you felt confident in your shift to wellness?
Johanna: Yes, when I realized the overlap between my business skills and my passion for health. I knew how to build a brand, create systems, and market an idea. Once I combined that with my personal interest in wellness, everything clicked. That’s when I stopped seeing it as a side interest and started treating it as my full-time mission.
Q: What challenges have shaped your approach to success?
Johanna: One challenge is filtering out the noise. In wellness, there’s so much conflicting advice. My approach is to combine research with practical application. I don’t just talk about what studies say; I talk about how to make it work for a busy parent, for someone eating out, for real life. That’s a skill I’ve honed from both personal experience and business.
Q: If someone asked for one piece of advice about achieving success, what would you say?
Johanna: Ask better questions. Whether it’s about your health, your career, or your relationships, the quality of your questions determines the quality of your results. That’s how I ended up learning about seed oils in the first place—I asked, “What’s really in the food I’m eating?” That one question opened a whole new path for me.
Q: How do you measure success now compared to earlier in your career?
Johanna: Earlier, I measured it by external achievements—numbers, growth, deals closed. Now, I measure it by impact. Am I helping people feel more informed? Am I giving them tools they can use? If the answer is yes, then I’m succeeding.
