IVY Integrative / Conditions / Oncology
Personalized, Evidence-Based Cancer Support Before, During & After Treatment
A cancer diagnosis can leave you feeling overwhelmed—not only by the diagnosis itself, but by the countless questions surrounding nutrition, supplements, side effects, and your overall health.
Dr. Megan Ding is one of the few naturopathic doctors in North Carolina who specializes in working alongside oncology patients throughout their cancer journey. Rather than replacing your oncology team, she collaborates with your physicians to provide safe, evidence-informed natural therapies that complement conventional treatment.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, receiving chemotherapy or radiation, recovering after treatment, or focused on long-term survivorship, you'll receive compassionate, personalized care designed around your unique needs.
Where Cancer Care Meets Holistic Medicine
Finding a naturopathic doctor with experience supporting cancer patients can be incredibly difficult.
Unlike many holistic providers, Dr. Megan Ding has advanced training in integrative oncology and understands how to safely incorporate nutrition, botanical medicine, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle medicine alongside chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, surgery, and other conventional cancer treatments.
Every recommendation is carefully selected to avoid unwanted interactions while supporting your body's ability to heal.
