Your Extra Weight Is Not As Bad For You As Your Doctor Wants You To Think

Female Health, Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Healthy Weight, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

I am always reading the medical literature looking for positive messages to share with you. And during the holiday season… when most of us have naturally gained a little weight… this is the perfect time to share today’s uplifting medical study with you. This latest study didn’t receive much attention (the negative scary reports always seem to be the ones your doctors want to share with you!) but I think it should have. Researchers looked at two very large databases, examining body mass (Body Mass Index — BMI) and metastatic renal (kidney) cancer survival rates. They found that obesity …

Anxiety Doubles Cancer Mortality. It Doesn’t Have To… Here’s How.

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

Presented Sept 20, 2016 at the 29th European College of Neuropsychoparmacology Congress, the largest study to date looking at patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) reveals that anxiety more than doubles the risk of a mortality from cancer. Even after adjusting for smoking, alcohol intake, sedentary lifestyle and other co-morbid disease conditions, just having anxiety independently increases cancer mortality rates. The Study: Looking at over 15,000 patients older than 40 years old from 1993 through 1997, researchers followed the participants through 2015. Participants with a diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) were followed for cancer diagnosis and …

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

The entire model of medicine is backwards and needs a major re-do. The way the current medical model is set up is to test and report the outcome of a medication or surgery or intervention in the scientific literature, and to use these statistics as the standard of care. I’m very familiar with the scientific method of research not only through keeping on top of the current scientific literature to as a licensed physician… but also because growing up as the daughter of one of the lead scientists at the National Institutes of Health I attended …

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

Pain is a big deal. Considering pain is the number one reason patients seek medical care and that pain issues affect more Americans than heart disease, diabetes and cancer combined… patients reach for pain medications in alarming amounts at alarming rates and with alarming side effects. Prescription opioid drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the US, and these rates are steadily on the rise. Many pain medications are addictive and cause incalculable harm to the dependent patient struggling with pain issues. I know in my practice working with folks to reduce their dependency on addictive …

Immediate Healing Support That Works For Everyone

Grounding, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve been a physician for over 16 years and I’ve seen quite a lot of patients over those years. And during all that time, I’ve only come across one healing modality that supports the entire body â€” head to toe, every organ system â€” in such a powerful way. Clear air is awesome and nurturing. Juicing is powerful and cleansing. Purified water is hydrating and supportive. But inevitably, with every holistic healing modality I worked with, there would be some patients who benefit greatly and some who get absolutely no results whatsoever. Some folks heal with a certain …
