Using The Earth Outside To Clear Your Head And Help You Think

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

Do you like spending time in nature? Do you feel like you think more clearly after you have spent a little time outside? It’s not just a coincidence, your brain is actually being put into a healing state and helping you think more clearly, and we have several great medical studies to explain why. We already know that grounding to the earth outside immediately impacts our brains. This fantastic medical study, published in 2018, documents the brain wave shifts that happen near instantaneously, within milliseconds, recorded via an EEG (electroencephalogram) when the human body is grounded. Alpha wave patterns […]

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

You Are Made Of Stars (My Latest Painting + A Round Up Of My Favorite Holistic Healing Articles)

Healing Artwork, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

As a physician, every single cell in our body literally seems like a miracle to me. How it functions, replicates, repairs, lives, dies. The fact that our skin is self healing, our bones fuse back together, we breathe and our heart beats while we use our body to do other things all day long without even thinking about it, how we create life, how little humans grow within us and are born. The fact that all of it, almost every bit of it, comes from cosmic dust and stars — it’s all just so damn magical. We are

Why You Think More Clearly When You Spend Time Outside

Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine / By Laura Koniver, MD

We already know that grounding (touching) the earth outside immediately impacts our brains. This fantastic medical study, published in 2018, documents the brain wave shifts that happen near instantaneously, within milliseconds, recorded via an EEG (electroencephalogram) when the human body is grounded. Today I want to share with you a sneak peek of my next medical journal publication (submitted for review and accepted for publication in Open Journal Of Neurology & Neuroscience) where I suggest why it’s easier to think, and even get clarity and flashes of insight/intuition, when we are outside in nature.

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. In fact a double blind medical study published in 2015 found that participants who were grounded had measurable improvements in mood that were significantly higher than the sham-grounded participants. 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
