New Study Finally Reveals If Vitamins Help Improve Cognition As We Age

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study, published Sept 14, 2022 in Alzheimers & Dementia, is the largest randomized clinical trial on multivitamin use in healthy brain aging. It’s a three year long trial following annual cognitive assessments on over 2,250 patients that were randomly assigned either a daily multivitamin, a 500 mg daily flavanol supplement (from cocoa extract) or a placebo supplement. What researchers found was that not only did taking a daily vitamin help preserve cognitive function, but it actually helped significantly improve it over baseline (and over placebo) by the third year. Meaning it didn’t just help prevent cognitive …

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine / By Laura Koniver, MD

There are so many different treatments, techniques, supplements, prescriptions, operations, adjustments, therapies and countless other modalities that all help treat disease. In fact, there are so many options, it can be overwhelming. So how do you know which one to choose? Sometimes surgery is the right choice. Certainly the world is full of people who are alive and owe their recovery to a surgical, life saving intervention. I am one of them, as I ignored the pain of appendicitis for so long that it ruptured, causing a massive inflammatory reaction throughout my entire abdomen, and the surgeon who …

How Grounding Quickly Reverses The Effect Trauma Has On Our Health

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

Living with stress can have serious long term implications on our health. But it doesn’t have to. It’s natural for our bodies to go through times of trauma and stress and then rebound to full health. There are lots of things you can do to mitigate stress and trauma and prevent them from leaving lasting imprints on your body that ultimately deteriorates your health. Which is important, because if we don’t release the traumas and stressors that we experience, our cells, organs, tissues and physical body as a whole literally changes. This is the study of epigenetics — and I’ve …

7 Quick Ways The Earth Can Reset Your Mood Whenever You Need It

Grounding, Healthy Mindframe / By Laura Koniver, MD

Exercise can help, a really good night of sleep can help, even medications (when appropriate) can help, but if need support right this very minute, grounding can shift your mood by supporting brain function — …

Electrosensitivity, Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A recent medical study caught my eye, so today I am excited to share it with you here. Researchers were looking at how movement helps to boost memory, and found that there are literally immediate benefits to your memory function after exercising just once. Published September 2020 in Scientific Reports, this study finds that one session of exercising (cycling on a stationary bike was the exercise used in this study) significantly improved motor sequence memory — immediately! This is super encouraging, because it was not looking at just the long term benefits from exercise (which of course …

How To Find Inner Clarity And Use It To Stick To Your Long Term Health Goals

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

Last winter I attended a wonderful medical conference in which I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Terry Wahls speak. She is so impressive, with the amount of medical experience, knowledge and wisdom she possesses… particularly in the field of autoimmune disorders and how diet impacts our body’s health. Visit her website here if you are interested in learning more about that. That’s not what I loved most, however. The part I loved most was when she talked about helping patients get clear on why they even want to do the work of healing in the first place. She walked …
