The Two Healthiest Ways To Have A Period Are Also The Two Cheapest!

For my last period, I couldn’t find my much beloved Diva cup. (I can literally hear all the guys reading this instantly click off this blog post, but if you are brave enough to make it past that first sentence I think you’ve made it past the hard part.) Well, I was debating whether to use the cloth pads my daughter uses or break down and use a tampon, which I haven’t used in years and years. I didn’t really love the idea of going through my week wearing cloth pads exclusively around the clock… but in the end I …

Thoughts On Health… Celebrate Becoming A Woman

Female Health / By Laura Koniver, MD

The most special girl in the world, the most special girl in *my* world anyway… is now a young woman. She takes my breath away with how effortlessly she welcomed womanhood and menstruation into her life… she is healthy and radiant and I am the most lucky mama in the entire UNIVERSE to travel this road with her… watching her fly. We were heading out the door to spend a warm November day on the beach when she found out. Welcoming her transition with the calmly lapping waves and under the warm blessed sun just felt so right. Oh I …

Avoid surgery. That is my advice for sure. But what can you do to help with mild to moderate prolapse? Enter Jade and Pearl. Jade and Pearl sell reusable sea pearls (all …

The Energy of Menopause

Female Health, Health Videos / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’m excited to sneak in a quick video for you today… ignore the ratty hair and the horrible angle (dang, do you have to see right up my nose???) I propped my phone up on a potted plant in my bedroom to get this video done quickly while the kids were happy playing. One of these days, one of them… I promise, I will actually blow dry my hair and wear something nice and put concealer on top of my random face splotches so you can stare at something other then my under eye circles and PMS pimples while I …

Thoughts On Health… Supporting Women

Female Health / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve felt a strong pull in my heart to support and validate and empower women lately. I feel like I am finally coming into my own… I feel like I’m finally discovering why I’m here, what I have to give… and I feel like I want to take all the women of the world right along with me, finding our voice together, hand in hand. Does that sound cheesy? As I type it, I realize it might… and yet, this is what I feel… deeply… pounding in my heart. I love being a woman and I feel so much power …
