How To Avoid Ticks & Prevent Lyme (+ Exactly What To Do If You Do Get A Tick Bite)
May 19, 2025
As we head into summer, I hope all of us are spending more time outside than ever. Unfortunately, ticks carrying the Lyme disease bacteria (Borrelia Burgdorferi) have been found in all 50 states, so don’t be fooled into thinking it’s only something that folks in the northeast have to be concerned with. But as much as I detest ticks, I really don’t want you to limit or stop your healing practice of grounding outside because of a fear of ticks. To me, this healing practice of grounding is as crucial as eating or hydrating or breathing or wearing ...

May 5, 2025
Did you know you still had some of the amniotic fluid you incubated in when you were in your mother’s womb inside your brain to this very day? Yep, some of the original fluid that was there surrounding you as a fetus in the womb is what makes up your cerebrospinal fluid that bathes your brain right now. Cerebrospinal fluid is super important not only because it cushions, hydrates and protects your brain inside your skull, but because it actually pulses and moves throughout your neurons, bathing them with fresh nutrients and even flushing out toxic by-products.

Chocolate To Boost Your Metabolism? Uh Yes Please (+ Additional Benefits)
April 14, 2025
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 ...

Welcome Spring With This Refreshing Grounded Mediation You Can Do Right Now

I’ve long been a fan of the health benefits of meditation, so I was really excited when a new medical study confirmed that mindfulness meditation significantly reduces pain, and does so in a totally unique neuropathway that is completely separate from any pain relief that is found through the placebo effect. 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 ...

March 24, 2025
As I talked about in my last video on aging, aging can be simplified down to a balance between inflammation that accrues over a lifetime vs. your body’s stem cell regeneration. 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.

March 17, 2025
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 ...
