Dr. Carney's Care Philosophy
- Category: About Dr. Carney

Linda Carney MD wants to help you to Prevent and Reverse disease! So many health problems are worsened by lifestyle issues, such as smoking, drinking, inappropriate nutritional habits, inadequate sleep, lack of exercise and stretching as well as negative thought patterns. Dr. Carney believes in helping people Prevent and Reverse Disease through balanced lifestyle changes, and in particular through implementing anti-inflammatory, high fiber, nutrient dense Plant-Based dietary changes. She also prescribes medicines.
After spending more than 20 years working as an Emergency Room Physician Dr. Carney realized that she wanted to be a FENCE at the top of the cliff instead of an AMBULANCE in the valley. Her emphasis on Whole Person Care is all about preventing people from falling over the edge of the cliff of poor health rather than repairing broken people after a crash landing in the valley of lifestyle choices that impair health. Another fitting analogy is that of being a WARNING sign in front of a washed out road. Who wouldn't want to be warned if their lives were in imminent danger? Sadly, and unfortunately, the answer is 'many people'.
In order to be more preventive in her Medical Practice, without regard to the pressure and demands for financially productivity, Dr. Carney left the world of corporate medicine and began operating a Primary Care Practice as a solo practitioner, located in Buda, Texas. Her hourly level of pay was easily reduced by 90% but her level of satisfaction due to helping MANY people in Preventing and Reversing their disease conditions increased immeasurably. The greatest thrill for Dr. Carney is seeing her patients not just control their diseases through medications but actually reverse and in many cases completely irradicate their diseases, frequently resulting in no longer needing to be medication dependent. Results include, but are not limited to the following:
- Cancer patients in remission
- Diabetics whose blood sugars are under control natuarally, no longer requiring medications
- Heart Disease patients whose cholesterol levels dropped lower than they ever imagined possible, now in the essentially Heart Attack Proof range
- Weight Loss for people who previously believed they had tried everything but had never tried the all you care to eat, low fat, plant-based lifestyle advocated by Dr. Carney
- Greatly improved sleep and the increased energy levels, and numerous other health benefits, that accompany restful sleep
- Restored Cognitive Function and reversal of anxiety laden thought patterns
- Reduction in menopausal discomfort
Truly, perfect health depends on perfect circulation. Our vascular system should be monitored with numbers, such as our weight, blood pressure, & lipid levels, (cholesterol, etc), to prevent atherosclerosis from accelerating the aging process and the breakdown of our joints, senses, and memory, among other potential risks. Every day, our immune system is strengthened or impaired by the foods we choose. The immune system searches our body daily for abnormal cells, destroying them before they can multiply into a cancer. Don't lose hope if you have a strong family history of cancer. Optimizing your lifestyle now can make a difference in your cancer risks.
Patient Education is heavily emphasized by Linda Carney MD and a well stocked library of Health Education DVDs are available for the public to come and watch, free of charge. For those patients wishing to spend no more money than necessary on drugs and surgery, Dr. Carney offers book recommendations and online videos to help you optimize your health through good habits. Lifestyle changes can help to make you healthy by choice, not by chance. Ask to see our cooking demonstration videos!
