Dr. Ginger Sharp is a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner who helps women move from feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and confused about their health to having clarity, direction, and a clear path forward.

Her work is deeply personal.

Dr. Ginger earned her Doctor of Chiropractic from Logan College of Chiropractic and holds a Master's degree in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation. She is also a certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, combining clinical training with a root-cause, whole-body approach to healing.

After chiropractic school, Ginger and her husband, Dr. Josh, began building their life and growing their family. But behind the scenes, her health was declining. What started as fatigue and brain fog progressed into something much more severe.

At her worst, she struggled to form sentences, couldn't sleep despite being completely exhausted, and didn't have the strength to stand on her own. She would move from room to room using the walls for support and homeschooled her daughters from the floor because she didn't have the energy to sit up.

There were moments her husband found her unable to move, wondering if her body was shutting down.

Through a long season of searching, testing, and prayer, they discovered multiple root causes: Lyme disease, mold exposure, parasites, infections, heavy metals, and more.

Like so many women, she tried everything.

Detoxes. Cleanses. Supplements. Protocols.

But what changed everything wasn't doing more.

It was understanding how the body actually works and realizing that healing requires the right things, in the right order.

Grounded in her faith, Ginger believes that the body is fearfully and wonderfully made designed by God for life and healing. When given what it needs, the body has the ability to repair, restore, and function the way it was created to.

Step by step, as she began working with her body instead of against it, her health returned.

Today, she has the energy to be fully present with her family. She and Dr. Josh have two beautiful daughters that she homeschools, and she loves spending time together as a family going on adventures and continuing to grow in their faith, always seeking to be moldable and led by the Lord.

She has also found a new appreciation for movement and exercise, not as something she has to do, but as something she gets to do an expression of gratitude for the health she has regained.

She loves being outdoors, attending sporting events, and enjoying a slow Sunday afternoon watching golf, especially the Masters.

And when she's not working or with her family, you'll likely find her with a cup of coffee in hand, sitting in a cozy, tucked-away coffee shop with a friend, talking about life, faith, and everything in between.

Now, she and Dr. Josh help other women do the same.

Her mission is simple: to remind women they were designed by their Creator for life and healing and to give them the clarity and support to walk that out.

Welcome to 12 Minute Converse with Jesus Believers.

God chose first to have a conversation with us, his creation.

Our prayer is that this listening space brings growth and transforms your life forever.

Praise God for you, Dr. Ginger.

What part of the world are you in today?

Kansas City, Missouri.

So that's in the very center of the United States.

Yeah, very interesting place to be.

Very interesting.

Yeah, soccer's coming our way this summer, so lots of soccer.

How's the weather though?

How's the weather right now?

It's uncharacteristically cold.

Today is nice.

It's getting in the 80s, but it's been in the 60s the past couple weeks, which is pretty cold for May.

So how important is touch to you with the work you do?

Yeah, yeah, that's a really good question.

So we recently just moved from St. Louis to Kansas City.

In St. Louis, we had a brick and mortar where we did chiropractic adjustments and touch all the time.

And then in 2025, we moved to Kansas City and we do functional medicine and we took that online.

And so right now, we're not really doing chiropractic adjustments and we're not really, we're zooming everything kind of like we're doing now.

And I didn't realize the power and the significance of that touch until now.

You know what I mean?

I didn't really appreciate it and understand it, but it's really powerful.

I think we really need it.

It's just that energy from one person to the next can make a break someone's day really.

And we even in chiropractic, in our practice, we would even have to do grounding mats because we're seeing sick people.

We're seeing people that are really struggling with their health.

And so they have a lot of toxic energy just from that.

And then as you get an adjustment, you release that toxic energy.

But a lot of times we would take on the toxic energy and you can feel that.

So we would stand on grounding mats to kind of ground out toxic energy because it would drain our energy so much.

And I just feel like it's so powerful.

You know, that touch is so powerful.

But then we're putting good, healthy energy back into people and they get well and they heal.

So it's really important, I would say.

Is that the reason both you and your husband changed the strategy of the business?

No, honestly, we felt like God called us to move to Kansas City.

And showed us a way that we could do that.

And that was taking our functional medicine practice virtual.

And I think there's lots of reasons why he asked us to do that.

But one of the reasons is because when you're in brick and mortar, you're limited to how many people you can help based on your time.

There's only so many hours in the day, so many people that can see you and all of that.

But I feel like our message and what God has brought us through, through our experience through Chronic Lyme and just the research and the education that he's given us, that we feel like we want to share that with more people.

And so taking that practice and doing it virtually, or doing everything online and doing a group program and doing it how we've got it structured, allows us to reach more people with this message that God, we are fearfully and wonderfully made and our bodies are created for life, but they're built to heal.

And if we give it what it needs, it will function and be well.

And again, this stems from your experience of being diagnosed with Lyme disease.

Yeah, that is kind of the journey that he showed.

I mean, and we always knew it, you know, we kind of were in the health, you know, chiropractic is in the healthcare realm, you know, holistic health and wellness and those kinds of things.

But yeah, I was, I got diagnosed in 2017, I guess, with Chronic Lyme.

And then that really started this big, huge journey of healing the body and how it, you know, how we can heal.

And really, it's about order.

It's, you know, we know that it can heal, but God is a God of order, you know.

And so if you do it in the right order, then healing happens and then resilient, it's very resilient.

And then you want, you know, you have this more of a desire to want to live, but then also be able to fulfill your purpose that God has for you.

Because when you're sick, especially chronically sick, it's really hard to fulfill your purpose, because you don't feel good, you know.

Yeah, let's tap into that, the emotional side that goes with actually being diagnosed, and then the experience that goes with it.

Because I think many people, like, I'm not asking you this so that you can relive it.

But from what I've, what I've seen is many people just don't understand what the other person is going through.

And it seems to me as though it's a lot, psychologically and emotionally.

Yeah, and I think that there's layers to this.

But I think that so often the mental, emotional and spiritual health aspect of it is kind of buried whenever you're dealing with it from a chemical standpoint, and a physical standpoint, I think you need to really kind of be able to get to a healthy spot there.

And then be able to deal with it, recognize, I think it's easier to recognize.

After, let me just kind of explain it.

So like, when I was sick, like I had zero energy, and I just couldn't, I was supposed to be doing all these things.

I'm a homeschool mom, I'm a stay at home mom, but I was also running a business.

And I'm also seeing patients you know, physically, I am demanded to do these things.

And I just did not have the energy and the drainage, or the ability to do this kind of thing.

And so it wasn't really until like, I was able basically taking out all the bad, the toxins and infections that I had, then I could actually, and I had so much brain fog, you know, it's really hard to think and put words together and, and communicate.

And really, it wasn't until after then that I did, I realized just the emotional toll that, that I was going through and mentally and just spiritually, where I felt like there was so much, there was guilt, and there was anger, and there was shame, and there was sadness, because I wasn't able to be the woman I felt like God wanted me to be.

Or the mom that I, you know, that he wanted me to be.

And I think that healing is in layers.

And so kind of being able to kind of get my needs met first, with the food

and the water and the clothes kind of idea, you know, and then coming in and then just really

sitting with the Lord and talking with the Lord about these emotions and this frame mental framework

of who he is, and how big he is, because when you're sick, it's hard to love, it's hard to be

patient, it's hard to be kind, it's hard to not be rude when you don't feel good, you know.

And so as you are healing and able to feel better, then you can love better, and you can be more who God's called you to be.

Yeah.

How did your husband navigate the challenges of everything you just mentioned as a spouse?

God is good and pairs you with who you need to be with.

My husband's a very patient person.

My husband's very quiet person.

And so I think those things, it is key to helping that he was just patient with me through the process.

You know, he allowed me to be sick, he allowed me to be upset, he allowed, you know, he allowed for that.

But also at the same time, he is a doctor too, so he's trying to help me figure this out, you know, and he's giving me ideas and things to do, you know, because I would get into these places where it was just so overwhelming that I didn't know what to do.

And he'd be like, oh, well, just do this.

And, you know, he would kind of help me through step by step with those things in a loving way, as much as you can, because it's, you know, it's hard to treat your spouse, it's hard to treat, you know, your family sometimes.

And so as much as I would allow him, you know, he, he was good, and he was strong.

And he was willing, you know, willing to meet me where I was at and allow me to get through it with him.

Five years from today, you're listening to this conversation.

What's a message you'd leave for future you listening?

Just be patient with the process.

The whole thing is a process.

It's not a destination.

I'm always so in such a hurry to be at the end to be, you know, but it is such a process.

And God wants your heart in that process.

And so just enjoy, be patient and enjoy the process.

Before we leave, is there anything else you'd like to share with our amazing audience?

I just think that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made.

I think that we are God's masterpiece.

And we are created for life and purpose to glorify him and designed to heal.

And there's hope for healing because of our because of our Creator.

Dr. Ginger, again, a pleasure I treasure.

Thank you for being what has inspired my 12-month conference.
