Meet Dr. Mark Carney, ND, LAc, an internationally-renowned naturopathic doctor and acupuncturist who is ultra-passionate about helping his patients to achieve their health goals! He has been in private practice since 2001, and people consult with him both in-person and virtually.

One of Dr. Carney’s specialties is the non-toxic and holistic “biohacking of disease,” and he has dedicated more of his time to studying cancer than any other condition. Dr. Carney’s philosophy is congruent with the metabolic approach to cancer, which states that the terrain of the body can either create an inner-environment that is inhospitable to disease, or it can become a fertile ground in which disease can take hold and eventually worsen.

His patients and colleagues often refer to him as a “medical Sherlock Holmes” because he is known for solving very complex cases. His hunger for lifelong learning led him to earning his Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, completing a Post-Graduate Residency in Family Medicine, and graduating with a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine. Additionally, he recently finished a Fellowship in Integrative Oncology.
