Dr. Ed Carriere – Diet, Nutrition and Cancer

Dr. Ed Carriere of Integrative Physician & Chief of Medicine, Sky Ridge Medical Center is a board certified integrative Internist who has been practicing in the Denver area for over 25 years. He completed Louisiana State medical school in 1990 and residency at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Denver.

Ed practiced as a hospitalist for fifteen years also serving as Chair of the Department of Medicine at Swedish hospital. Most recently, Ed completed Dr. Andrew Weil’s Integrative Medicine fellowship.
He now splits his time between in hospital consultations at Sky Ridge hospital, where he currently serves as the Chairman of the Department of Medicine and an outpatient Integrative Medicine consultation and concierge private practice.

Ed combines evidence-based complementary and alternative practices as well as evidence-based herbal supplementation with traditional western medicine for the prevention and treatment of disease. It is his philosophy that the body has the innate capability to heal itself given the right resources and fuel.

The majority of all “disease” is manageable and treatable with diet and lifestyle modification. No matter what hand your genes have dealt you, whether you turn those genes on or off is up to you. What you eat, how you live, how you manage stress and even what you believe plays a role in this epigenetic process.

Ed’s special interests include peri-operative spine and joint medicine (co-founding the pre-op clinic at Sky Ridge hospital), autoimmune disease, integrative cancer therapies and disorders of the hypothalamic pituitary axis including hormones, thyroid and adrenal issues.

He enjoys mountain biking, hiking, and snowboarding especially with his wife and children. He is involved in youth scouting (he himself an Eagle Scout) and volunteers for the National Western Stock show providing medical care to the bull and bronco riders.
