Chocolate To Boost Your Metabolism? Uh Yes Please (+ Additional Benefits)
I love chocolate so much I even have a bowl of chocolates in my office I eat from almost every day. Now I don’t recommend a bowl of easily accessible sugary treats to be within arms reach while you are trying to work, speaking from personal experience, ahem… but let’s gloss over that for now and instead focus on why eating chocolate in moderation may not be as bad for you as might assume! Most medical studies looking at the health properties of chocolate focus on dark chocolate (for good reason, as dark chocolate is a rich source ...

Turns out, meditation modifies pain brain patterns to help break you out of repetitive pain signals. I talk about that in this TikTok for you here and you can also read the study for yourself here. @laurakonivermd Nope #meditation #placebo #pain #painrelief #holistichealth #laurakonivermd #intuitionphysician ♬ original ...

So we can approach longevity by both sides, decreasing inflammation in the body and protecting (even boosting) stem cell function so we can renew and refresh our organ systems for longer. Graphic shared from: Li, X., Li, C., Zhang, W. et al. Inflammation and aging: signaling pathways and intervention therapies. Sig Transduct Target Ther 8, 239 (2023) The above graphic comes from this fabulous meta-analysis ...

Easy Ways To Add The Health Benefits Of Grounding To Your Favorite Hobby
Clear air is awesome and nurturing. Nutrient dense foods and raw juicing is powerful and cleansing. Meditation is relaxing and centering. Pure filtered water is hydrating and supportive. Nutritional supplements can be balancing and healing. But inevitably, with every holistic healing modality I worked with prior to grounding, there would be some patients who benefit greatly and some who get absolutely no results whatsoever. Some people heal with a certain diet. Some heal with a particular physical therapy exercise. Some heal with a prescription medication, some with a life saving surgery, some with a chiropractic adjustment, some with ...

I’m so excited to write this free article for you today, because I really feel we need some uplifting and encouraging health news right now, and that’s my entire goal in writing my blog — to provide you with encouraging and free holistic health care information that you can actually use and apply in your daily life.

That’s just one example of how our mental health can be shaped by the foods we choose to eat. Last week I told you how a keto diet ...

Ketogenic Diet Found Incredibly Helpful For All Types Of Eating Disorders
Eating disorders were totally glossed over in medical school, and that’s because they are notoriously hard to treat, so there were not a lot of solutions presented to us. In fact, still to date there are no effective biological treatments for Anorexia Nervosa. But a new study offers hope, and not only that, but it is a simple, holistic, all natural way to address eating disorders without expensive medications, therapies or treatment programs. Just a dietary modification that has the ability to successfully treat Anorexia Nervosa so well that it puts patients into multi-year long remissions without relapse. ...
