Can Cutting Out Bread Actually Improve Your Mental Health?

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

Long time readers of my blog already know, since I blogged about this almost a decade ago, that gluten is a neuro-irritant — meaning it causes inflammation in the brain and has been linked to cognitive decline, even dementia. I wrote this article for you back in 2014 to help explain how dementia could be considered a gluten-induced condition. More recent evidence suggests that not only does the brain inflammation that gluten causes affect your brain, it might also be affecting your mental health, including causing or worsening mood disorders like depression and anxiety. As someone who has …

Winter Is For Hibernating, So Let’s Fix Your Sleep Right Now

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

Winter is the perfect time to soak up as much restorative sleep as you can, and eliminate your sleep deficit. Sleep is absolutely crucial for optimized physical health. I am ferocious about protecting my sleep, because I know that sleep is non-negotiable and absolutely essential for longevity. And the good news is, that no matter how bad your sleep is right now, 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 deficit is. Every single night is an opportunity …

Making Way For The New: Start Off 2023 By Decluttering Your Home

Healthy Mindframe, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

I can think of no better way to set the stage for a brand new year, 2023, to be full of expression and growth than to simplify and declutter at the start of the year. You need space to expand, it’s as simple as that. Clutter stops growth and expansion, and it affects your health, both mentally and physically. I want you to feel like your living space — whether it is a single room, an entire apartment, or a massive multilevel home — just wraps you up in a big hug of safety and security and joy, with …

Your 2023 Healing Mantra: Say This Every Day & Have The Healthiest Year Yet

Healthy Mindframe / By Laura Koniver, MD

Hello you! It’s almost 2023. This is just a reminder for you to remember, as you start a new year of your life: Your body is completely new inside and out every few years. All of your organs (except for one) completely regenerates, repairs, and optimizes on a continuous basis. Some parts of your body are so fresh and new that they are only one day old… the cornea of your eye, for example. Your cornea can completely regenerate every 24 hours. Some parts are a little older… the lining of your intestines, for example, are …

Healthy Mindframe, Healthy Weight / By Laura Koniver, MD

This is the third and last blog post on losing weight easily and naturally — and that’s because this is the very last week you can sign up to join my in my 5 day Weight Reset Class! The first article was on losing stress-related weight. The second was on naturally boosting your metabolism. This last one will be a quick intro to fasting — a great lifestyle modification that has long term benefits that are hard to beat: decreased heart attack risk, decreased diabetes risk, decreased cancer recurrence rates, even boosted longevity. I review all of these benefits …

Sharing A Thanksgiving Meal Just Might Make You Healthier… The Healing Power Of Connection

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

You can already intuitively feel that connecting with others boosts your health. Think of how much better do you feel after a warm hug from a friend, the comforting squeeze of a partner’s hand, or the joy of laughing around a dinner table with your children. Sharing space with a loved one for even one minute is enough to completely turn a bad day into a good one. But it’s not just something you intuitively know, it’s something that has been medically studied and shown to actually protect you health. Medical studies have even shown that increasing your connection to others not only improves …

Feeling At Home Inside Your Body (+ My Latest Healing Painting)

Healing Artwork, Healthy Mindframe, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

My favorite way to release anxiety, drop out of my overthinking mind, and come home to my body is to combine grounding, deep breathing, and my favorite mantra. Repeating a mantra has been shown to help with anxiety disorders such as PTSD, and I can think of no better phrase to repeat to help release stress, get out of fight/flight mode and relax into rest/digest mode. A randomized controlled medical study comparing mantra therapy as a treatment for PTSD was published in the American Journal of Psychiatry on June 20, 2018 and here is what researchers found: 173 …
