What I Do To Stay Helathy When It’s Too Cold To Exercise Outside

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

The weather is getting unbearably cold for me, so I thought today I would share with you what I do whenever it’s too cold (or I’m too lazy) to exercise I hit my local Y and sit in the sauna to reap very similar benefits to exercising, but without the hassle! Medically proven! Now this is a healing modality 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, massage, exercise (ok, maybe not exercise…) …it just feels …

Why You Still Have Chronic Pain & 5 Ways To Truly Fix It

Electrosensitivity, Grounding, Health Videos, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

I just finished attending a national medical conference on the latest updates on Pain Management. It was awesome, but there was a huge gap in what doctors could offer and how much pain would resolve. In fact, in the conference the top pain specialists — physicians who are the highest trained out of the entire community to treat pain — flat out stated that they can only take about 30% of pain away, at most. WHAT?!?! You are left with about 70% of pain untreated? Uh… No way. There are tons of things you can do to address pain. …

How To Protect Your Liver At Holiday Parties

Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Today I’m just giving a quick, real-life health tip considering we are just on the verge of launching fully into holiday season, which means holiday meals, holiday get togethers, and impromptu toasts abound! Drinking wine occasionally has enjoyed mixed health reviews — with some studies reporting cognitive benefits from wine (although for those you can simply take resveratrol supplements!) and many studies reporting that alcohol increases cancer risk. And because holiday parties typically mean a lot of driving out and about to attend these parties, my first recommendation is just not to drink at all! But if …

Antidepressants Increase Risk Of Death… Luckily There Are Incredibly Powerful Alternatives That Work

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

No doubt antidepressants can be life saving to those in a major depressive episode, and I am absolutely not suggesting that those on an antidepressant should discontinue use. But I do think it’s important to highlight new information about how antidepressants are affecting the health of your entire body… not just brain function. While antidepressant use can be supportive to healthy mood, they are also affecting everything from your circulatory system to your cancer risk. And… on top of that… there are incredibly powerful holistic ways to treat depression that are medically proven to work even BETTER than antidepressants …

Sleep Increases Your Recovery From Depression

Chakra Health, Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new medical study shows what we can all intuitively feel — — that when we are in a depression, we truly need deep, restorative sleep to recover. It’s okay to sleep more when feeling depressed — in fact, a recent study released in June 2017 showed that patients who were medically treated for depression but did not sleep well were three times less likely to actually recover from depression. And sleeping 7 hours or more nightly actually tripled the rates of full remission in depression. Here’s more: The Study: (presented at the 31st Annual Meeting of …

Trauma Earlier In Life Ups Risk Of Surgery Later… Here’s Why

Chakra Health, Female Health, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study shows what we can already *feel* — — that trauma in childhood affects our physical health as an adult. Our cells, organs, tissues, physical body holds on to the effects of emotional trauma and this energetic tension literally changes how our body is able to function. I’ve written previous blog posts highlighting this, how our body’s health is an expression of our emotional well being, in articles such as: Your Outlook Can Literally Speed Brain Decline (and 9 ways to stop it) Anxiety Doubles Cancer Mortality. It Doesn’t Have To… Here’s How. OCD May …

5 Things You Can Do To Naturally Lift Depression

Grounding, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Yet another medical study continues to verify that probiotics absolutely robustly treat depression. Researchers found that only 4 weeks — just ONE MONTH — of probiotic therapy significantly lifted depression, decreased anhedonia, reversed sleep disturbances… and that these improvements were still sustained months later. These results are so impressive because probiotics had zero of the adverse side effects that prescriptions antidepressants do and can safely be taken indefinitely. The Study: (presented at the 13th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry on June 19, 2017) 10 patients with major depressive disorder in a current episode of depression were treated with a …
