Improve Your Mental Health With Your Very Next Meal (+ 5 More Things You Can Do Today To Feel Relief)

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

As someone who has struggled with anxiety her entire life, I am very interested to read up on medical studies exploring ways that our diet impacts our mental health (I’ve blogged for you in the past right here about foods that increase anxiety, and yep, gluten was on that list!) because this also provides natural, holistic ways to help reduce anxiety and depression — by simply reducing or eliminating gluten. That’s just one example of how our mental health can be shaped by the foods we choose to eat. Last week I told you how a keto diet […]

Using Grounding To Treat Anxiety … What The Medical Literature Says

Grounding, Healthy Mindframe / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve been anxious my entire life. I can’t remember a day when I did not wake up with a huge knot in my stomach that felt like death was gripping my solar plexus and sneering up at me. Unfortunately the medical literature is pretty clear — anxiety has major health effects, but it’s equally clear that those deleterious health effects are actually reversible. Meaning, if you suffer from anxiety, it’s very worth addressing, not just for the relief on a daily basis but also for the longevity benefits. Today, as someone who very much knows the felt sense

Improve Your Mental Health Naturally, Starting With Your Next Meal

Healthy Mindframe, Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Did you know that gluten is a neuro-irritant — meaning it causes inflammation in the brain and has been linked to cognitive decline, even directly to dementia? I wrote this article for you back in 2014 to help explain how dementia could be considered a gluten-induced condition. More recent evidence suggests that not only does the brain inflammation that gluten causes affect your brain, it might also be affecting your mental health, including causing or worsening mood disorders like depression and anxiety. As someone who has struggled with anxiety her entire life, I am very interested to read

How To Protect Your Mental Health From Work Related Stress

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Because we are headed into cooler months, most of us will be spending more time indoors. When we are inside for most of the day, it affects our levels of stress and our mental health. In fact, job stress may cause as many as one out of every seven new cases of depression, anxiety and other common mental disorders, suggests a study published in Lancet Psychiatry. Researchers looked at over 6,800 participants, ranking job strain at age 45 with risk of mental illness at age 50. The results were astounding. Having a job that is highly

Tons Of Holistic Health Ideas To Help You Move Through Grief

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

A few years ago I became a Death Doula. You would think as a physician we would be taught in detail about the death and dying process in medical school, but we weren’t. Not at all. We were taught how to pronounce someone dead, how to preform advanced life support to try to stave off death, how to sign a death certificate… but never about the intricacies of it: what the body feels and experiences as the soul prepares to leave it, what the dying process looks like, what order the organ systems shut down in and how

One Of My Favorite Quotes To Help Release Anxiety

Healing Artwork / By Laura Koniver, MD

Whenever I feel anxious (which is most of the time) it’s because I forgot that I am more than this one body, this one place in time, this list of things I have to do today. The minute I remember that I am a living soul, wearing a breathing earth suit made out of 13 billion year old stars, I can relax into the experience. I talk more about that in my blog post a few weeks ago, showing you how I painted the Made Of Stardust art series. Back to my anxiety — and it always
