Grief after experiencing a sudden loss or unexpected change in circumstance can knock your feet right out from under you.

Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’m writing this to you as I recover from emergency surgery a few days ago — my appendix ruptured! Yikes! It was my first time riding as a patient in an ambulance! That was absolutely no fun. So today, as I try to slow down and recover instead of push myself too fast, too soon… …I’m writing about the power of taking it easy, and why it is medically necessary to take some down time once in a while. Taking the time to rest each day isn’t a luxury, even though we often treat it as such. …

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine / By Laura Koniver, MD

The theme of releasing stuck emotions has come up several times in the past week with my private patients, so I’m going to take that as a gentle nudge to repost this article on my blog. It’s perfect timing, because fall is a natural time to release and shed all that no longer serves you. As the saying goes, you only have to glance at the beautiful changing colors on the fall trees outside right now to see how very beautiful it is to let go. But what if you are feeling stuck? I’ve got you covered. Read on: …

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 …

Resolving PTSD, OCD, Tobacco and Drug Addiction Too

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

A recent medical study came out looking at the natural supplement N-Acetylcysteine (NAC for short) in healing the brain after trauma… …with fantastic results. NAC is a potent brain antioxidant and protector — found essential in the healing of the brain after impact injury (such as concussion) so researchers wanted to investigate if this supplement could actually help heal the brain after different types of mental injury as well… such as PTSD and addiction. It’s not often that a holistic supplement is studied this extensively and found to have such robust positive outcomes, yet it’s not something that I’ve …

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 …
