Stop chasing symptoms and start feeling better
Conditions I commonly treat
.png)
Auto-immune and Immune Dysfunction
Auto-immune conditions have reached epidemic levels and diseases like celiac, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis and some forms of diabetes are common complaints that I address. I also work with food sensitivities, seasonal allergies, mold and other toxin exposures that may trigger myriad symptoms across the body.

Menopause and Hormonal Health
Each life-stage requires special attention as hormonal imbalances produce profound effects on many of your tissues and systems, including your brain. In addition, I work with women in all life stages with PMS/PMDD, PCOS and irregular menstrual patterns. Many of these conditions intersect with the immune issues I have described elsewhere on this website.
Post-Infectious Syndromes
Lyme and Co-infections, Bacterial, Fungal and Viral pathogens may present differently according to each person's genetic and epigenetic inheritances and the ability of our immune, hormone and nervous systems to effectively eliminate the infectious agent. My aim is to make your system more resilient in the face of these increasing threats.

ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Post-Covid
The chronic inflammation involved in these conditions must be addressed comprehensively. My work in supporting healthy eliminations and targeted immune support for the rebalancing of the nervous system is an essential piece of this puzzle. This works beautifully in conjunction with other, higher impact, forms of therapy.
About my practice
My practice centers around nutrition, herbal medicine and complex homeopathy. Like all good naturopathic doctors, I focus on the underlying causes of disease, not just symptom management. Therefore, it takes time for us to plumb the depths of your health challenges. Please don't be intimidated by this--my work is gentle and I act as a guide in each phase of treatment:
We begin with opening the elimination pathways of the body (gentler than detoxification), thereby clearing the way to evaluate and understand more complex dysfunction.
In phase 2 we address energetic patterns, sometimes called "signatures", that can be locked into place from a past infection, genetic or epigenetic inheritances and/or any number of life experiences like toxic exposures or emotional challenges.
Eventually in phase 3, we look more at your deepest areas of blockage, on the mental/emotional and sometimes even spiritual plane.
This highly individualized process involves our shared understanding of your health goals and trust in my knowledge and expertise to help you along your path to feeling well. This is why I often say I practice "relationship-based medicine." Of course, this process may also involve support from other practitioners using treatment modalities that I do not offer.
Therapeutic Modalities
I utilize a wide range of therapeutic modalities in my work with patients. However, below are four that strongly inform my approach as a Naturopathic Physician.
Low Dose Immunotherapy
Low dose immunotherapy (LDI) uses very low dilutions of various antigens to help create immune tolerance. Therefore, LDI is a wonderful way to address any number of conditions where the immune system is involved. LDI is an incredible tool to address sensitivities and allergies to many substances and chronic inflammation as a result of auto-immune processes and post-infectious patterns.
Low dose immunotherapy is not regulated by the FDA and has not been tested in double-blind randomized studies. Beneficial results have been clinically observed by the doctors using this therapy for over 40 years and it is a safe modality for both adults and children.
Whole-Body Thermography
Whole-body thermography is a diagnostic tool that I have used in my evaluation of patients for almost a decade. Whether you are in chronic pain, have mysterious fatigue, or are simply looking to stay healthy, this exam gives me a plethora of information about how your body is functioning. Rather than simply using an infrared camera to take a picture of the breasts or other body parts and look for hot and cold, whole-body thermography is evaluating how the autonomic nervous system is regulating the whole body—by measuring points before and after a cold stimulus phase. Everything from the sinuses, dental points, chest and breast, stomach, intestinal, liver and pelvic health is assessed. This is different than most types of thermography that focus on breast health alone.
Blood Type/Genotype Diet
I use a sophisticated dietary analysis and reporting software program that Dr. Peter D’Adamo designed for clinical practice. GenoType Diet software helps me construct personalized nutritional guidelines based on key genetic findings and also the science of epigenetics. I’ve been using this software for many years and feel that the individualized approach recommended through the GenoType Diet has been more useful than food sensitivity testing alone. There is no such thing as an ideal diet in a vacuum--we must know what makes you unique and this software really is a one-of-a-kind tool. You can learn more from Dr. D’Adamo’s website here.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture, simply put, is a health science that is used to treat both pain and dysfunction in the body. Being a system of medicine unto itself, it can be used for virtually any imbalance or pathology. Early Chinese physicians discovered there is an energy network traversing just below the surface of the skin that communicates from the exterior to the internal organs. This energy works in harmony with the body’s circulatory, nervous, muscular, digestive, genitourinary and all other systems of the body. When this vital energy (Qi) becomes blocked or weakened, any number of effects may become evident. Pain, inflammation, poor circulation, dysfunction of immunity, or hormonal functioning, are all examples of how the body might respond.
I would not be here today to write this recommendation if I did not cross paths with Dr. Nash. After nearly 30 years of navigating through the allopathic medical system, being told they didn’t know what was wrong with me, and there was nothing that could be done for me, Dr. Nash put her intelligence, knowledge and dedication into getting to the root cause of my problems and giving me everything needed for bringing my body, mind and spirit into function and alignment.

I have been seeing Dr. Nash for almost 19 years now, and consider her my primary care physician. I'm not one for quick fix pill popping of Western medicine, so I quickly felt comfortable with Dr. Nash's holistic approach. She is confident and reassuring with any health issue, and all that she practices and has prescribed has worked wonders! I have been to her through some deep depression and anxiety, to fever and congestion, from winter illnesses, occasional back pain to acute injuries, and when needed, she never hesitates to recommend seeing a traditional MD. Only from receiving regular thermography with her yearly was I diagnosed with SVT, a cardiovascular issue requiring medication, because Dr. Nash was alerted to it in my results and urged me to see a cardiologist right away. I would never have had this early detection if not for thermography. I highly recommend being in her care and think of her as my "health goddess".

When you find yourself in a place where you’ve tried everything your PCP suggests, and it only makes things worse, Dr. Ginger Nash is the person to see. Time and time again she has patiently listened to my chronic symptoms and offered testing and natural solutions for healing. She really cares. Furthermore, Dr. Nash creates a relationship with her patients where she encourages you to make changes at your own pace, empowering you and your relationship to your health and body as opposed to my experience with so many other doctors. She is my go-to and I feel deep gratitude to have her expertise in my life.

I’ve recommended Ginger to many friends and family members because she has helped me make so many positive health changes with chronic conditions- allergies, interstitial cystitis, digestive issues and more. She is caring, always accessible, and ahead of the curve with new and better ways to address your health issues. It’s also exceptionally great that she takes the time to integrate her suggestions with care you are receiving from MDs. Ginger is an outstanding doctor and I think of her as a true friend in my health journey.

Dr. Nash is the first doctor who heard me and she has continued to listen over the years I have been seeing her. She treats me as she would a friend or family member. I have never been just a patient or a number. She is human first and then she leaps in as a medical professional to bring her expertise, knowledge, and understanding of you as a whole person. Her care has been a blessing to me. I highly recommend her.
