Why I became a doctor?
- When I was a young girl, I witnessed my mother struggle with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Going from doctor to doctor, I learned how I did and did not want my family to be treated and how disease can affect the entire family. These early experiences drew me to ask questions, look for the underlying cause of disease rather than mask the symptoms, and to truly listen to the body.
- Being a naturopathic doctor means getting to do what I love by helping others on a daily basis. I personally know what it’s like to juggle a career, a family, and a business. With the fast pace of modern life, it’s common and easy to become off-balance. I love meeting my patients where they are in their journey and offering tips to become the best version of themselves.
What conditions I love to treat:
- Fatigue
- Thyroid Disease
- Hormone Imbalance
- Professional Moms
- Busy Entrepreneurs
Things you may not know about me:
- I married my high school sweetheart, Derek.
- I’m a Midwestern girl, my parents are amazing farmers, and I have one sister who I adore.
- I love to dance. I used to be a ballet dancer and trained at some of the top ballet schools in the nation.
- I am a proud mom to two adorable little girls, Jazlyn and June.
- I love artichokes! Yummy!

I am so thankful I found Nourish Medical Center. I was on a quest for a good doctor who could help my 12 year old. After failed attempts with our pediatrician and endocrinologist, he had increasing symptoms of hypothyroidism and newer symptoms of IBS that started to effect his (and my) daily life so severely that I was on a frantic mission to find a doctor that could go in-depth with us and QUICKLY. Having a child that just seems to be getting sicker with no clear answers is so frightening. We met with Dr. Stewart and I told her all of my concerns and nothing I said was dismissed or considered unimportant. This was such a relief! Dr. Stewart ordered tests that other doctors never ordered, and I will be eternally grateful that she did. She created a plan to both help his thyroid immediately as well as a plan find the source of the problem. We are currently in the process of figuring out his diagnosis, but ALL of his IBS symptoms have disappeared and the thyroid medication that Dr. Stewart prescribed him has resulted in labs that have greatly improved over a three month period. I could not be more grateful.


I was referred to Nourish through a friend and have enjoyed every interaction since. I have Hashimotos and while most doctors say "take this pill for the rest of your life," what I like most about Nourish is that they offer alternative ways to heal the body besides just taking a prescription. They actually listen to you and provide best recommendations for your life. Dr. Stewart has been amazing & her front desk staff are always so helpful. Appreciate you all! Highly recommend getting into Nourish, even if it takes a bit of a wait.


Nourish has changed my life! Dr. Adrienne Stewart is not only super sweet, she is incredibly knowledgeable. She has helped me navigate through my thyroid trials and tribulations, finding that perfect dose...she is working on my stubborn gut issues and detoxification. I feel at home there..the staff is very welcoming, kind and organized...I am able to send messages and receive information quickly. The place is immaculate and stunning....they are simply on top of it, and I appreciate having an entire staff that I can trust with my healthcare needs. I would HIGHLY recommend nourish medical center!!!!


I would highly recommend anyone come in and see Dr. Stewart (and the great staff). She truly has been amazing at listening to my issues and helping me solve and manage my chronic stomach issues -- just in time for my wedding. My health insurance did not cover the visits, but it was well worth the money spent. I look forward to working with Dr. Stewart and managing my health and wellness.


I am so glad I came to Nourish Medical Center! I came in looking for to get pregnant and for a solution to unrelenting allergies, for which mainstream medicine has given me no explanation, despite 2 costly allergy tests. At Nourish, Dr. Stewart suggested a food sensitivity test, which ended up showing a few sensitivities. After only a week of removing these foods from my diet, my allergies went away completely. It has now been 3 months, and it is so great to be able to breathe again. I wish I had done food sensitivity testing years ago. While I am not yet pregnant, Dr. Stewart's warm style has made me feel very safe sharing intimate details of my life and health, which is helping to get to the root of the issue, and I am optimistic for the future.


Crystal, has been one of the best decisions I have taken. Her sessions are super positive, enthusiastic, and game-changing. I can't believe how far I have come. My brother asked me the other day what have I been reading!? I have noticed such an amazing and positive change. With her by my side I am so confident and full of inner peace. I could not recommend her enough!! Thank you thank you.Dr. Stewart is also amazing and game changing. I love her natural approach to everything. Nourish is the BEST.


I am so very happy that I found Dr. Ramson and Nourish Medical Center. Everyone there is very warm and welcoming including the front desk and Grant the lab technician who I have seen several times. Shout out to Grant for making blood draws quick and painless, and for helping me sort out my insurance questions. I had been struggling for some time with a lot of strange, complicated symptoms that included extreme fatigue, dizziness, heart palpitations and tachycardia, anxiety and panic attacks, weird throat sensations/cramping, hair shedding, digestive issues, muscle pains, numb/tingling hands and feet and more. I landed in Urgent Care and the ER on several occasions but surprise surprise, no one could give me any answers. As a mom of 4 and a small business owner, I can't tell you how extremely distressing it is to not be able to take care of your children or even get out of bed. I lived in fear every day. I have always been holistic minded and taken care of myself and researched everything but I knew I was in over my head and needed help, and that a trip to Sprouts wasn't going to cut it. I knew I needed a whole body, integrative doctor to look at the whole picture and so I started looking for Naturopaths/Holistic Doctors. I found Nourish and I met Dr. Ramson. I immediately felt at peace in her presence and knew for a fact that we were going to figure this thing out. She has such a compassionate, gentle and kind spirit and really listened to me and made meticulous notes on every single symptom I had been experiencing. And I threw a lot at her. We decided to do a ton of testing and it gave us so many answers. I did end up with a diagnosis which is treatable, and in Dr. Ramson's view is also reversible. Everything I had been experiencing was connected. She gave me a detailed course of action that I am following that includes significant diet and lifestyle changes, and thyroid medication. I was extremely hesitant to take a prescription medicine but after doing my research and talking to Dr. Ramson I understood that my body really needed it, and I felt comforted that it was a more natural thyroid medicine, and different from what I might have been prescribed by a typical MD. It took years for this condition to develop and I realized my body desperately needed help to begin to heal. It's been a few months and I have to say that I feel SO MUCH BETTER! Every symptom I was having is either significantly better or is gone completely. But I am doing the work. It isn't always easy, but it's my health and I will do whatever it takes. The most important thing is that the numbers don't lie- my latest labs show all my numbers going in the right direction! Had I gone to a traditional medical doctor I know I would have just been given conventional thyroid medicine and told to take it for life and that my condition is permanent. I know I have a ways to go but I feel very confident that I am in the best hands at Nourish Medical Center and I know that Dr. Ramson will guide me through every step of the way. I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Thank you Dr. Ramson for all that you and your staff do. I have told you before that I know it must not be easy practicing medicine in the way that you do, it is in conflict with the standard medical model. But I want to tell you that there are people like me out there who desperately need you to keep doing what you do. It's such important work and you must know how much it is valued and admired. Thank you so much.Kathryn S.


Dr. Adrienne Stewart is the best Doctor in town. She is very professional, kind hearted, full of compassion and a good listener. She is full of empathy towards her patients' health condition and gives a lot of options and programs that will help her patients feel at ease and comfortable in choosing what is appropriate for them towards the road of recovery. I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease (Hyperthyroidism) with an early Thyroid Eye Disease since June 2019. I was getting hopeless at that time since I don't want my thyroid to be surgically removed and just rely on pure conventional medicine. I believe that my body can heal naturally and return back to its normal state by changing my lifestyle. Dr. Stewart gave me several tests to find the root cause of my thyroid disease. After 6 months of appointments with her, plus changing my lifestyle and strictly following her protocol I was then amazed about the results of my blood tests and now headed in full recovery. I am very grateful to Dr. Adrienne Stewart, to Grant and to the rest of the wonderful staffs in the clinic for helping me return back to my healthy state. Love you all and thank you again for everything you do especially in these times of pandemic. More power and success to Nourish Medical Center!


I can’t say enough good things about Nourish Medical Center. Staff is lovely and the space is clean and inviting. I see Dr Stewart and she has helped me immensely on my healing journey. Helping me unfold my health and find answers that I couldn’t get answers to with PCP’s. I am so happy I found her to be a part of my health journey. I always look forward to our appts, not only has she helped me find peace in my health l but I am not afraid to ask questions! Our discussions in regards to my health leave me understanding what’s going on with my body, rather than questioning and trying to fight for my health like I’ve had to do with so many other Drs. I feel blessed to have her on my team of health practitioners. Heart to heart moment: if you’ve been questioning and looking for answers, honestly make the jump and put your health first. You won’t regret it and you won’t regret choosing Nourish Medical Center to be at your side for it.


BEST DOCTOR I HAVE EVER HAD!!! I am a tricky case and my body is very sensitive and I have had lots of medical issues over the years. I have come to distrust doctors, as about half the time they don't help at all and can be arrogant, and at times have actually done harm to my body instead of helping me. I even went to the naturopath Dr. Bronner Handwerger in San Diego who put me on hormones that caused damage to my body to the point where I called medical malpractice attorneys to sue him. But I decided to give the naturopathic route another chance. And boy am I glad I did! Dr. Adrienne Stewart has changed my life. I mean literally! She put me on a thyroid medication that has made all the difference. Before I was depressed and hardly able to function. Now I remember what it is like to be happy and healthy! She also is compassionate, very knowledgeable, and seriously is my best advocate I've ever had for my health (other than myself of course!). I also ended up doing life coaching with Crystal at Nourish and was amazing. And the last thing I want to say about Nourish is that I hate having my blood drawn and I'm very nervous about it, and Grant does a great job drawing blood at the Nourish office. I'm so sad I moved away from San Diego because I love all of these guys at Nourish. I might even continue having Dr. Stewart as my doctor and just do Skype sessions which she allows for her patients that are not in the San Diego area. This is my favorite doctor of all time. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Adrienne Stewart and Nourish Medical Center!


Dr. Stewart is a God Send. I moved from NC to San Diego last year and suffer from Graves Disease. Moving meant I needed a new doctor. I had to fire an Endocrinologist in Solana Beach because her office staff would ignore my concerns and how I felt. I was frustrated because I was in this beautiful new city and could not get a doctor to take my thyroid concerns seriously. My sister recommended Nourish and bragged that Dr. Ostroot was amazing. I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Stewart due to her extensive knowledge of thyroid health. I was not disappointed. Dr. Stewart is so warm, welcoming, and non-judgemental. Every time I see her she welcome me with the biggest hug. The first appointment is detailed because she truly dives down into every aspect of your life. My first appointment was in March 2018 and in 6 months my thyroid levels are normal. They have not been normal for over 2 years. Dr. Stewart makes me excited about going to the doctor as I know that when I see her I will not get dismissed on how I feel. The entire office staff is extremely amazing. Glad I found this gem in San Diego.


Dr. Adrienne Stewart is such an amazing doctor! I've gone to so many doctors to try and figure out why I couldn't lose weight, why I was always bloated, low energy, ect. I've been having this problem since I was a teenager. I'm now 35. She first tested me for almost everything possible to make sure that I didn't have anything too serious, which gave me a peace of mind. We recently started focusing on the food that I was eating and problems with my gut. Within the past week, the weight is just falling of of me without barely even trying, and I don't feel bloated or puffy. I now know what foods I'm sensitive to because I took a test for that. I've gone to so many doctors, and Dr. Stewart actually sits down, and cares and listens to everything that you have to say. She figures out what is really going on in your body. Grant the lab tech, and Ashley the receptionist are also both very sweet and helpful! It is a little pricey, but def worth the investment if you care about your body and well being. It's nice to know what is actually going on inside of your body, and not just getting prescribed pills to cover up the problem. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place.

Dr. Stewart and the staff at Nourish Medical are truly exceptional. Everyone in the office is so helpful, kind and caring. I have been a patient for over 3 years and couldn't be happier with my progress. Dr. Stewart has helped me manage hormone balancing as well as my overall health. During my visits, she is thorough, very detailed and is such a great listener. It's so nice to have a doctor that truly cares about all of your needs and concerns. Virtual appointments during the Covid crisis have been extremely beneficial. I highly recommend Dr. Stewart and Nourish Medical Center!


I was introduced to Nourish and Dr. Stewart through a colleague. At the time, I was searching for an alternative medicine doc that could assist with my immune disorder and ongoing hormone issues, particularly joint pain and migraines. I had an initial one hour consultation with Dr. Stewart and she exhibited a great deal of thoroughness, consideration and dialogue around approaching my health. Given that I am accustomed to western medicine, she offered lots of materials to read, as well as have access to her online program, which provides even further guidance. As an executive in the field of behavioral health, I am accustomed to dealing with clients and meeting expectations. Dr. Stewart and her team have not disappointed. Their online patient portal is very easy to navigate, her front desk staff is well organized, and the tests that I had taken have offered informative and insightful feedback which has provided a beautiful start to my ongoing journey of healing. I highly recommend Nourish to anyone that desires a personal touch, well trained docs and a place to "nurture" you back to health.


Dr. Stewart is who I chose to see after reading specialties of everyone. I started seeing her a while back but waited on a review so I could give one that's more in depth. And it's really this simple, she's the best! In all the ways.. 1-Knowing what labs you need 2-Compassion to your situation 3-Getting the right supplement/treatment to you. And she, though not a counselor, helped me more than my counselor did during this time of my sad life situations. Which is totally unexpected when seeing someone for health care not emotional care. If I could give more than 5 stars to her I would! I also know someone who has gone to Dr. Star and had a great experience. I have to shout out to Ashley the front office manager, she is always so on it, and ready to help the staff and is always a happy smiling face to see and connect with. 5+ for the centerI also have been seeing Crystal Stone for coaching and left a review on her yelp about her magical ways!Thank you Nourish!

I came to Dr. Stewart over two years ago in Arizona, sick, tired, and completely emotionally drained because Hashimotos, and PCOS was wreaking havoc on my body. I was desperate for help, having watched myself, and those I love be treated as objects, shoveled off from office to office, never feeling heard. Leaving each doctor feeling hopeless because you still don't feel better, and most often left feeling worse.
Within minutes of meeting Dr. Stewart for the first time my expectations of how things would go, completely transformed. This woman is a truly exemplary Doctor. She cares, she listens, she digs deep, she helps you map out, and tackle each obstacle one by one.
Not only do I feel worlds better, I feel like I have a handle on things when once it was all spinning out of control.
She was instrumental in uncovering a serious medical condition for my sister. A condition that could have taken her from us.
My mom who had not had a sound night of sleep in over 10 years now awakes rested.
I could write you a book of praises, and it wouldn't be good enough.
So if you are sick, and tired… Or just sick, and tired of what has become of the standard of care.. This is where you will find a true partner for your health. - Anonymous
Dr. Stewart was wonderful, so very easy to talk to. I'm 74 y.o. next month and I think that I've finally found the 'detective' that I've needed forever. - Anonymous
Dr. Stewart has been the most influential person in helping me take back my health. I started seeing her about 3 years ago in Arizona. I am a Registered Dietitian, so I have a medical background, and I've done research on Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and autoimmune disease in general. I have been to over a dozen doctors and I can honestly say Dr. Stewart was the first that actually knew more than I did about treating thyroid disease. She is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and stays up to date on the latest research. Her passion for helping her patients shows in her "besides manner" and in the time she takes to really listen and address each concern her patients have. I cannot recommend Dr. Stewart highly enough. I have been able to submit my visits to my insurance and they reimburse me for more than half the cost of the visit. She is well worth every penny! If you have any health concerns, hormone imbalance, autoimmune disease, fertility issues or are just looking for an overall fantastic doctor, make an appointment with Dr. Adrienne Stewart. - Anonymous
In just a year and a half, Dr. Stewart has completely changed my life. She is incredibly thorough looking at the complete picture; mind, body, spirit. All questions and concerns are answered and I always leave with a positive action plan. Thank you!!! - Anonymous
Dr. Stewart was patient, knowledgeable, and kind. She listened to my concerns and addressed them with understanding and interest. I am recommending her to all my friends. She is top notch!! Make an appointment! You will be happy you did! - Anonymous
