Stefanie Jennings, FNP-C, FMCP-M
Stef Jennings is a wife, a mom of four, nurse practitioner, and the founder of Jennings Health. She has always been the kind of person who asks one more question. Sometimes that means reading the research study instead of the headline. Sometimes it means looking beyond a diagnosis to ask why it happened in the first place. That curiosity has shaped both her career and the way she cares for families.
After earning degrees in Biology and Nursing from Radford University, Stef spent seven years caring for critically ill patients in neonatal and neuroscience intensive care units. She loved critical care, but becoming a mother changed the questions she was asking about health.
Preparing for the birth of her first child introduced her to physiologic birth, nutrition, environmental health, and integrative care. The more she learned, the more she realized there was an entire side of healthcare she wanted to better understand. That experience led her back to school to earn her Master's in Nursing from Drexel University, becoming a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. At the same time, she completed advanced training through The Institute for Functional Medicine, earning her Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner designation (FMCP-M).
After graduation, Stef joined an established integrative family practice, where she was mentored by experienced clinicians and discovered what she loved most: caring for children and their parents. In 2024, she opened Jennings Health because she wanted the freedom to care for families differently. She envisioned a practice where families were known well, conversations weren't rushed, and parents had the time and support to make informed decisions for their families.
