Saturated Fat Does NOT Increase Mortality

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

This week, many of us are heading into the holidays. And as you head into a week of parties and connection and warmth and pot lucks and FOOD… I can think of no better holiday gift than this: To share with you, directly from the medical literature, the truth that saturated fat does NOT increase mortality. It’s not about the fat… saturated fat intake does not increase rate of death. It’s about the inflammation and the long term damage that inflammation does to your blood vasculature (and your entire body, from your gut lining to your …

In other words, being curious about learning something enhances your absorption and ability to master the information you were curious to learn AND even non-related information alongside it. Curiosity about life in general enhances your experience of life itself, …

Walking and Cancer Recovery: A Crucial Connection

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve already blogged about how walking — just walking! — has been medically found to support cancer recovery better than any chemotherapeutic agent we have currently available. And now, just released in 2015, the first meta-analysis looking at the effects of walking on sleep in cancer patients. Sleep disorders are very common during cancer treatment and recovery with many patients reporting daily sleep disturbances which in turn affect physical function, healing, mood, energy levels, and quality of life. Although it is well know that exercise has been shown to improve sleep due to boosted immune response, core body …

Why Allergies Might Help You Live Longer

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

A new study suggests that folks with allergic rhinitis are more likely to outlive the rest of us. Allergic rhinitis patients have a decreased risk of heart attack, a decreased risk of stroke and over all a significantly decreased risk of all-cause mortality! “They were basically half as likely to die during the study period,” says Dr. Crans Yoon, after looking at a database of over 200,000+ allergic rhinitis patients and following those patients for a 7 year period. Presented at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology 2014 conference, Dr. Yoon found that people who …

The Power Of Hope (+ Free Poster)

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

Several months ago I attended a medical seminar where one of the presenters, a warm and kind physician who was presenting a lecture on diabetes, made an off-hand comment. He was showing a slide about a recent medical study conducted on Type 2 Diabetes. The slide showed that all of the study participants did better than the general population. Everyone improved, whether they got the treatment that was being tested in this study or not. That means even the baseline participants, the ones who got absolutely no medical intervention whatsoever after signing up to be part of this study, had …
