START YOUR JOURNEY TODAYWhat is
Functional Medicine. ➝
Functional medicine looks at the body the way it was designed to function—as a connected, intelligent system. It focuses on optimizing the foundations of health that, when disrupted, can lead to symptoms or disease.
At Ginger Functional Medicine, this approach is personalized, because no two people come with the same history, exposures, or experiences. We listen deeply, look for what’s driving the imbalance, and use advanced testing to understand how it all fits together.
Then we build a plan that’s uniquely tailored to you—so you can finally feel like yourself again.

My name is Ginger Stedwell-Smith,
a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner since 2017. My background is in Internal Medicine as a Hospitalist NP and specialized as a Cardiology NP. Because of the gaps in care I noticed while practicing, I chose to advance my education and became certified in Functional Medicine, which takes a deeper dive into symptoms and disease processes from a true root cause perspective.
That journey opened my eyes to just how connected everything in the body truly is—hormones, gut health, stress, sleep, inflammation. It all matters. When one piece is out of balance, it affects the whole system. Fixing the foundation is essential to restoring energy, clarity, and long-term well-being.
Functional medicine has not only transformed my own health—it’s helped my family as well. We’ve experienced firsthand how powerful it is when the root causes are addressed and the body is supported the way it was designed to function.
I understand how challenging life can be, and how hard it is to make the right choices for our health—especially when the hustle of life leaves little time for ourselves and the results don’t come quickly. You’re not alone, and life doesn’t have to be lived in a constant state of survival.
I’m a proud mother of three amazing sons, and my free time is spent with my family, friends, cycling, triathlons, snowboarding, playing guitar, traveling, and trying anything new. Life is short and meant to be lived fully—with energy, purpose, and the color that comes back when you’re no longer stuck in survival mode. I’m excited to meet you and help you rediscover that vibrance!

"Ginger genuinely cares and to me that is everything. She made me feel comfortable during my visit and spoke to me in a way that I could understand. She explained in detail about my cardiology issues, and even drew diagrams on the white board, explaining how the heart works. She spoke with me about my diet, and foods that could help me better care for my heart.
We even talked about music, and how it was good therapy and great for relaxation.Â
I am very happy to have her as a caregiver, and actually look forward to my appointments. I've been in the hospital a lot the last couple years and have felt pretty downtrodden, she always brings me reassurance and a smile. She is very compassionate and knowledgeable and that is what a patient wants and needs. Thank you, Ginger"
"Before I started with Ginger Functional Medicine I wasn't sleeping at night, was overweight and would lose weight but it would come back
and had low energy I also had high blood pressure."
"My daughter had great results with functional medicine, so I gave it a try too. I was tired of not being heard. With Ginger, I finally felt listened to. She cared, looked into my concerns, and helped me work through each one step by step. I'm so glad I said yes!"
!I was having issues with low energy and what seemed to be a weakened ability to fight off circulating viruses. I shared my concerns with Ginger and she suggested that taking the gut test would be a helpful starting point to determine the cause of my issues. When my test results came back, it was confirmed that my immune system was weak and there were signs of leaky gut. She prescribed three supplements to be taken over several weeks. I'm roughly 75% thru the prescribed regiment of supplements. Since starting, I have a noticeably improved sense of well being. My energy level is definitely better. I'm waking easily and no longer taking afternoon naps. My daily chores have been easier to accomplish. Although there has been recent sickness around me, I have remained well. Overall, this experience has been a big Win for me and I am happy that I listened to Ginger's advice and directions."Â

"I took Ginger’s Liver Detox Cleanse because I had no energy and I was always sick. During & after the liver cleanse, I experienced a big boost in energy and in my immune. I am not sick & tired anymore!!! Yay!!!Â
 I also took Ginger’s Gut Test due to my several digestive issues. After viewing the results, Ginger met with me to address each issue and recommend appropriate supplements to address them. Now my bloating, gas, and constipation are gone!! Even my heartburn and GERD are much improved!! I am so grateful for all Ginger has done for me in the past!!! I look forward to her helping me with other issues in the future!! Thanks, Ginger, for everything!!!! "

enjoy and want to keep going strong."
