The Power Of Hope (+ Free Poster)

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

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

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Here is another post I wrote just prior to our family crisis. I wrote today’s post several weeks ago, during the simple, beautiful, pre-divorce days when my life was full of silly fun things like curling my hair and making my teeth nice and white.

I *trust* and I *believe* that those silly fun days will return, better than ever, because we will naturally re-align

Poor Sleep Linked to Alzheimers: 9 Ways To Fix It.

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

For ages and ages, human beings followed the rhythm of the sun… going to sleep when the sun went down and rising with the sun in the morning. Our circadian rhythm was in concert with the earth and ensured that we got deep, restorative sleep in order to face the next day. These days, artificial lighting and long work days mean that most people (myself included!) have some sort of sleep abnormality and/or circadian rhythm disruption. Although we know that lack of sleep causes everything from memory problems, fatigue, decreased concentration, stress, and increased food cravings, a recent study
