How Grounding Boosts Your Mood + 10 Ways It Fits Into Your Day Today

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

We’ve know for a long time (and honestly common sense and personal experience tells you this as well) that time spent outside lifts your spirits.

We also know that inflammation in the body worsens mood and even plays a role in clinical depression. A medical study published in 2016 found that increased inflammation in the body worsens symptoms of clinical depression, and this one published in 2019 backs […]

Can Cutting Out Bread Actually Improve Your Mental Health?

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

And sadly even people we are hurt by or scared of, we can feel that too — our hearts can feel colder or constricted or pound with fear in our chests.

Soul Healing, Uncategorized / By Laura Koniver, MD

I recently 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 that looks and feels,
