About
At Integrative Family Medicine of Asheville, medicine and whole-person health share equal footing. Co-founders Dr. Brian Lewis and Dr. Chad Krisel launched Asheville's original direct primary care practice around 2011. Dr. Aneela Cox rounds out the physician team today. The practice operates two locations: one in the River Arts District and one in Arden.
The clinical team includes physicians, PAs, NPs, health coaches, an herbalist, and a nutritionist. Together they address nutrition, fitness, stress reduction, and personal growth alongside routine medical care. The IFMA Reboot program guides members through structured lifestyle change using the Whole30 framework. Members also access a supplement dispensary through Fullscript at a 30% discount; the practice donates all supplement sale profits to local non-profits. Workplace wellness clinics have served businesses including A-B Tech, Omni Grove Park Inn, and Sierra Nevada Brewing Company for over a decade. Best of WNC 2024 recognized the practice with gold awards for Best Medical Clinic and Best Primary Care.
