It’s Summer: Decrease Your Skin Cancer & Photoaging Risk, Naturally

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Well it’s finally summer, and we can capitalize on the fact that outdoors is the safest place to be (even the CDC has published recommendations that all windows in homes, offices, and schools be kept open to increase venhilation) you can take advantage of the fact that sunlight is naturally germicidal and the Vitamin D boost you get is naturally immune boosting and move all of your indoor activities outside! So this brings up concerns about skin cancer and photo aging effects from sun exposure — but don’t let that stop you from going outside. Here’s why. A …

10 Ways Grounding Can Directly Support Your Health During This Pandemic

Grounding, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve gotten lots of emails asking if grounding is a good idea as a way to boost health during this pandemic. The medical literature suggests the answer to this is a resounding “Yes!” for many reasons, probably more than you think. As you might know, most patients who suffer serious illness during Covid19 infection do so because of the body’s inflammatory response (the often referred to “cytokine storm” in the lung adds to this), subsequent hypoxia from lung inflammation, and hypercoagulation of the blood, leading to blood clots. These three reactions the body creates as a response to coronavirus …

Need To Boost Your Hopefulness? I’ve Got You

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

Yesterday I was talking with my husband and he was expressing how down he has been feeling lately about the current state of events in the world. I know he’s not alone. So today I thought I’d dedicate a blog post on how to immediately boost a sense of resiliency and remain hopeful even during times of immense stress and darkness. There have been several major medical studies released in the past few months that show the major, physical, measurable impact that poor outlook has on our brain function and brain chemistry. Like this one, published in Neurology …

Do You Get The Feeling That Mother Earth Is Asking For A Reset?

Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

Me too. And I know how we can do it. I just happen to have spent the past several years writing a book that New Harbinger is publishing right now… and in it I literally talk about exactly how our health, and the health of our planet, are intimately interconnected. At first I have to admit that I was really sad about the timing of this book being release right now — as my book tour, book signings, and speaking events for the next two months have all been cancelled. But then I realized that humanity …
