Stress Weight Gain Is Different Than Other Forms Of Weight Gain, Here’s Why

Healthy Weight, Intuitive Medicine / By Laura Koniver, MD

Gaining weight (or losing weight) unintentionally is a common response to chronic or acute stress. And stress weight is different from other forms of weight gain — it typically centers in the abdominal area and is the most stubborn type of weight to release. In fact, a poll conducted by the American Psychological Association found that most of us have experienced a significant weight change thanks to the stress of the pandemic. The poll revealed that 60% of Americans report undesired weight changes as a result of this stress. But I’m here to help. You can definitely reset your …

Just In Time For Back-To-School: Get Rid of Your Sleep Deficit

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

I recently returned from a medical conference where one of the lectures was on repairing sleep deficits. Something I was very interested in because I’ve always been a poor sleeper all of my life. The take home point that really stuck in my mind, and now when I have a sleepless night I remind myself of this again and again so that I don’t stress out too much about it, was: You are only ever one night away from a good night of sleep. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve struggled with insomnia or how big your sleep …

Light Therapy Quickly Improves Libido

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, so today’s medical study reveals a simple tip for boosting libido! Woot! New research (presented at the 29th European College of Neuropsychopharmacology Congress on September 19, 2016) shows that the same light therapy recommendation to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can significantly improve sexual satisfaction in people with low desire after only 2 weeks of treatment! While this study was on men, because light therapy is incredibly effective for females too, I truly believe that this would work for women with low sex drive and should be first line therapy for anyone with …

Sick Of Getting Sick? Double Check You Are Doing These 8 Things

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

In a huge meta-analysis, published recently (May 3, 2016 in JAMA) researchers found that up to 70% of antibiotics prescribed during a two year period were actually inappropriate prescriptions. This is a hugely important study, because with the recent exponential rise of antibiotic resistant infections, each and every use of antibiotics absolutely MUST be warranted. When we truly *do* need to use antibiotics (and they can save lives, make no mistake about that) we need them to WORK. Add on to that the unnecessary chemical load to the body and the potential side effects, both annoying and deadly serious, that …

Recovering Memory In Dementia — One Simple Trick

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

New research shows that in Alzheimer’s patients, long term memory can be regained through listening to music! Listening to music that is familiar to the dementia patient from their past reawakens long term memories about who the person is, who their family is, and the context of their life. This has huge implications in quality of living, in social interactions and even in activity levels. If you play music that holds special meaning to a patient experiencing memory loss, you are very likely to help them recover context and depth and recognition in the form of long term memory …
