Brian Lewis was born in Greensboro, North Carolina and pursued his undergraduate studies at UNC-Chapel Hill. In medical school, he co-founded the Integrative Medicine student group at UNC which organized educational seminars, retreats, and weekly classes. Between his third and fourth years of medical school he received a grant for studying the healing methodologies from the Himalayas and Tibet. He then returned to complete medical school, and continued his studies with a Masters in Public Health focusing on health care leadership, health education, and community-based clinics.
In the following years, Brian completed his Family Practice residency in Asheville, NC. After completing residency, he modeled a faculty development fellowship centered on Integrative Medicine and worked with other residents across the country to provide affordable fellowships in Integrative Medicine.
Brian is inspired to open the Integrative Family Medicine of Asheville clinic with Dr. Chad Krisel. He hopes that together they will demonstrate a model of sustainable, empowering healthcare for other communities to replicate or expand.
