Most people report that being surrounded by rich holiday foods, alcohol, impulse eating, and weight gain during the holiday season adds a significant amount of stress as well.

Your Body Is Almost Entirely Made Out Of Stars, Here’s How To Celebrate It

Healthy Mindframe, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

As a physician, every single cell in our body is literally like a miracle to me. How it functions, replicates, repairs, lives, dies, replaces. The fact that our skin is self healing, our bones fuse back together, we breathe and our heart beats while we use our body to do other things all day long without even thinking about it, how we create life, how little humans grow within us and are born. The fact that all of it, almost every bit of it, comes from cosmic dust and stars — it’s all just so damn magical. We …

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Because we are headed into cooler months, most of us will be spending more time indoors. When we are inside for most of the day, it affects our levels of stress and our mental health. In fact, job stress may cause as many as one out of every seven new cases of depression, anxiety and other common mental disorders, suggests a study published in Lancet Psychiatry. Researchers looked at over 6,800 participants, ranking job strain at age 45 with risk of mental illness at age 50. The results were astounding. Having a job that is highly …

Tons Of Holistic Health Ideas To Help You Move Through Grief

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

A few years ago I became a Death Doula. You would think as a physician we would be taught in detail about the death and dying process in medical school, but we weren’t. Not at all.
