Tired All The Time? Can’t Lose Weight? How Background Noise Impacts Your Health

Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

This weekend I took my daughter out shopping for a bridesmaids dress to wear to her dear friend’s wedding. And even though it was so wonderful to spend that special time with her, I left the crowded store feeling completely exhausted, and so did she. As we were driving home I realized that I felt exhausted specifically by being around the constant, unending noise that was in the store… …background music overlapping with customer conversations overlapping with advice from store personnel overlapping with the intercom system, all while I was trying to focus on communicating with my own child. …

Yet Another Study Showing That Overweight Is Healthier Than Underweight

Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study, this time looking at breast cancer, found the same thing that several previous studies have revealed: it’s better to be overweight than underweight. The latest study, published in JAMA Oncology on June 21, 2018, found that a higher BMI was associated with lowered breast cancer rates. Especially if the BMI was higher in early adulthood, there was a reduced risk of premenopausal breast cancer. The Study: Researchers collected data from over 750,000 premenopausal women throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Looking at the BMI of women ages 18 to 54 years old and …

Well I thought this would be the perfect medical article to blog about this week, as many of us tuck into eating huge delicious Thanksgiving holiday meals!

Fat Shaming Causes Disease… But It Doesn’t Have To

Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Fat shaming (not obesity itself!) directly increases a person’s risk for metabolic syndrome and subsequent health issues, a new study finds. And why is there fat shaming in the first place? As I will go over below, there is an incredible wealth of medical research showing that having a higher BMI is actually advantageous to longevity, so there really is no need for our society to have an obesity bias to start with! Certainly dropping this attitude and reducing the internalized stress associated with weight will decrease diabetes risk, heart disease risk and the rate of metabolic disease in …

And during the holiday season… when most of us have naturally gained a little weight… this is the perfect time to share today’s uplifting medical study with you. This latest study didn’t receive much attention (the negative scary reports always seem to be the ones your doctors want to share with you!) but I think it should have. Researchers looked at two very large databases, examining body mass (Body Mass Index — BMI) and metastatic renal (kidney) cancer survival rates. They found that obesity …
