About
Dr. David Stewart, MD, earned his B.S. in Biology Cum Laude from Virginia Tech before completing his medical degree at Eastern Virginia Medical School, where he earned membership in Alpha Omega Alpha. He completed both his family medicine residency and a sports medicine fellowship at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro, North Carolina. During his fellowship, he served as team physician for multiple high schools and colleges. He went on to develop an integrative approach to athlete care combining advanced testing with personalized sports nutrition and targeted supplementation.
Dr. Stewart's personal experience with chronic carbon monoxide poisoning in 2005 and a subsequent Lyme disease diagnosis in 2009 deepened his expertise in complex chronic illness. He treated his own Lyme disease and co-infections using a combination of intravenous antibiotics, acupuncture, herbal supplements, IV vitamin C, infrared sauna therapy, and prayer, and has remained symptom-free for over fifteen years. That experience shaped his focus on treating tick-borne illness, mast cell activation syndrome, mycotoxin illness, hormone disorders, and thyroid disorders. He is passionate about metabolic syndrome and the neuroimmunoendocrine system as root drivers of chronic disease. He has presented on metabolic syndrome at national conferences including the 2011 iMosaic Conference in Minneapolis. He also offers medical cannabis registration consultations via fifteen-minute online video calls for Virginia patients.
