Is It Better To Diet Or To Fast Intermittently?

Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Two years ago I told you about a medical study that showed fasting for 13 hours (or more) overnight decreased breast cancer recurrence by more than one-third, which was awesome news. In that study, researchers found that not only did cancer recurrence rates drop, but also the longer the participants fasted at night, the lower their HbA1C levels fell as well. This begs the question — if fasting at night helps to lower HgA1C levels, could intermittent fasting help treat patients with Type 2 Diabetes? To answer this question, researchers conducted a new study specifically …

Yet Another Study Showing That Overweight Is Healthier Than Underweight

Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study, this time looking at breast cancer, found the same thing that several previous studies have revealed: it’s better to be overweight than underweight. The latest study, published in JAMA Oncology on June 21, 2018, found that a higher BMI was associated with lowered breast cancer rates. Especially if the BMI was higher in early adulthood, there was a reduced risk of premenopausal breast cancer. The Study: Researchers collected data from over 750,000 premenopausal women throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Looking at the BMI of women ages 18 to 54 years old and …

Sauna For A Longer Life Span? Yes Please.

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Now this is a medical study I can really get behind, because I LOVE HEAT. And I love love love anything that boosts circulation â€” like grounding, sauna, steam room, hot baths, sleeping with a hot water bottle, hugs, massages, exercise (ok, exercise, not so much….) It just feels intuitively right to get your blood flowing, don’t you think? Thats why I’m so thrilled that there have been so many studies recently looking at the health benefits of routine sauna. Researchers had previously discovered that folks who used a sauna two or more times a week had significantly reduced …

Medical Reports, Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study confirms what you might already know if your child is on the autism spectrum… …there is a huge association between celiac disease and autism. Up until now, mainstream media strongly denied any link between celiac disease and autism. Studies that were done looking at this link back in 2013 came up inconclusive. But if you are working with a physician or support group that still doesn’t recognize a significant link between the two, and are ignoring your child’s symptoms, it’s because they are working with outdated data from old studies. A new study, the largest …
