Two Years Ago Today I Was Headed Into An Operating Room

Healthy Mindframe, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Exactly two years ago, I ignored a growing, intense pain in my abdomen for about 24 hours, because I felt that I could not afford to take a break from all the work I had to do. Only when I was passing out from the pain did I have to be strapped into an ambulance and rushed into surgery because my appendix had ruptured. I ignored it and ignored it until I was in a life threatening situation. That was so dumb of me. I wish I could say two years later I was working less …

Just In Time For Back-To-School: Get Rid of Your Sleep Deficit

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

I recently returned from a medical conference where one of the lectures was on repairing sleep deficits. Something I was very interested in because I’ve always been a poor sleeper all of my life. The take home point that really stuck in my mind, and now when I have a sleepless night I remind myself of this again and again so that I don’t stress out too much about it, was: You are only ever one night away from a good night of sleep. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve struggled with insomnia or how big your sleep …

Your Brain On Mother Earth

Grounding, Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

There is a beautiful relationship that our brain has with the energy of mother earth. This helps support everything our brain helps us to do â€” from enhancing our mood to maintaining a healthy weight to deepening our restorative sleep. Most people believe that our circadian (day/night) rhythm is dependant on sunlight to set that pattern for us, but scientists have actually known since 1970 that the earth’s energy field has as much, if not more, to do with our sleep/wake pattern than even the sun. Here’s how: Researchers built two underground isolation chambers that completely cut …

Going To Sleep Earlier Prolongs Your Life, Here’s How

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study, published April 11, 2018 in Chronobiology International, found that folks who prefer staying up in the evenings have a 10% higher risk of dying, from all causes of mortality, when compared to those who prefer mornings. Looking at those who strongly prefer activity in the evenings vs those who strongly prefer activity in the mornings in over 430,000 study participants over a 6 1/2 year time period, researchers found higher nighttime activity resulted in: an increase in diabetes of 30% an increase in psychological disorders (almost doubling the rate at 94% higher incidence!) an increase …

Grounding Instantly Helps Your Brain, Mood, and Sleep

Grounding, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

As I’ll talk about with you on today’s video… EEG studies of brain activity show that grounding instantaneously shifts our brain wave patterns and reduces ambient stress levels. Getting into the relaxed but alert alpha brain wave pattern, which is seen in deep meditative states and healing sleep states, is the hallmarks of grounding. Grounding allows the brain to spend more time in that healing, restorative alpha brain wave state, and allows us to feel calm and alert during waking hours as well. Deeper, more restorative sleep at night puts us in a zone of healing, while lack of …
