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

2013 was a huge year of transition for me. And, to be frank, it was a year of loss. But also a year of growth. A year of survival and a year of strength. I’ve learned a lot first hand about loss, grief and healing… and I can contrast it quite vividly to what I *learned* about grief and healing during my medical training. I still remember being in medical school and learning all about the classic model of the grief process, set forth by the amazing and brave Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: DABDA (I’m sure many of my readers, …

Last week I talked about how the energy flow through your living space makes a big impact on how you feel living there, and I gave a few super easy ways to increase the fresh energy flow through the room. Likewise, the energy flow through your physical body determines how it feels to live in your body. When the energy is flowing through your body, you are releasing the old and welcoming in the new and healing happens effortlessly. In fact, that is what happens when the energy flows through your body: it gives rise to emotions… emotions …

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 …

Skin Care Round Up — holistic moisturizing, exfoliation, and wound healing

Female Health, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

My skin care motto is: simplify. Let me tell you a little about my background… Before becoming a full time Mommy I was considering going into Dermatology, so in medical school I took three times the regular amount of training in Dermatology as a result. I also spent four summers throughout college working at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD… working with a research team who was investigating oncogenes. And… as I mentioned in my sunscreen article last week, my father was a top scientist at the forefront of melanoma research, so in my lifetime I’ve gotten a …

My Favorite Way To Protect Against Skin Cancer

Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Last week over the holidays I soaked up tons of sun with my children and connected with the earth and the ocean and the sun and the sand. It was glorious and healing. AND it reminded me to post my annual sunscreen review for my readers! Today, I’m going to show you the sunscreen that I personally use to protect my children’s tender skin and my own skin as well. I’ll also walk you through my thoughts on the whole sunscreen dilemma… for us it is only our THIRD line of defense against skin cancer and in many instances I’d …
