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

I recently attended a cutting edge medical conference on geriatric medicine and aging, full of updates on the latest medical research on what contributes to aging and what reduces our decline in function as we age.

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study, published Sept 14, 2022 in Alzheimers & Dementia, is the largest randomized clinical trial on multivitamin use in healthy brain aging.
