Teens Who Eat Fruit Lower Their Breast Cancer Risk

Female Health, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study reveals that teens who eat 3 servings of fruit a day have a 25% decreased risk of breast cancer as an adult, compared to teens who eat less than one serving of fruit a day. Published in the BMJ on May 11, 2016, this study shows that fruit has a preventive effect in preventing breast cancer and that specifically consuming fruit as an adolescent is even more important than consuming them as an adult. The Study: Researchers examined date from over 90,000 premenopausal female patients (ages 27 – 44 years old) Over 44,000 patients reported […]

Your Extra Weight Is Not As Bad For You As Your Doctor Wants You To Think

Female Health, Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Healthy Weight, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

I am always reading the medical literature looking for positive messages to share with you. And during the holiday season… when most of us have naturally gained a little weight… this is the perfect time to share today’s uplifting medical study with you. This latest study didn’t receive much attention (the negative scary reports always seem to be the ones your doctors want to share with you!) but I think it should have. Researchers looked at two very large databases, examining body mass (Body Mass Index — BMI) and metastatic renal (kidney) cancer survival rates. They found that obesity

Anxiety Doubles Cancer Mortality. It Doesn’t Have To… Here’s How.

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

Presented Sept 20, 2016 at the 29th European College of Neuropsychoparmacology Congress, the largest study to date looking at patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) reveals that anxiety more than doubles the risk of a mortality from cancer. Even after adjusting for smoking, alcohol intake, sedentary lifestyle and other co-morbid disease conditions, just having anxiety independently increases cancer mortality rates. The Study: Looking at over 15,000 patients older than 40 years old from 1993 through 1997, researchers followed the participants through 2015. Participants with a diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) were followed for cancer diagnosis and

7 Steps To Decrease Your Lifetime Risk of Cancer

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

As an extension of last week’s article, which shows how fasting at night and walking during the day decreases cancer recurrence… this latest medical study shows that it’s absolutely within your power to decrease your lifetime risk of cancer all together! Published in Nature Dec 16, 2015 (click here to download this important study!) new research shows that cancer is a very modifiable health risk… estimating that less than one third of cancers are actually genetically driven and that the vast vast majority, over two-thirds of all cancers (up to 90% of them!) are actually environmentally induced. Why

Fasting To Decrease Cancer Recurrence

Female Health, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Recently published on March 31, 2016 in JAMA Oncology, new evidence supports the idea that fasting at night reduces the risk of cancer recurrence. Every night as we sleep we all enter a mini-fasting period before we *break-the-fast* with breakfast each morning. Prolonging the amount of time spent fasting — skipping evening snacks all together and fasting for 13+ hours each night — reduced the risk of breast cancer according to a study that spanned thousands of patients followed for over a decade. Simply taking care to eat an early dinner and not eating again until breakfast (for

Avoiding The Sun Is Actually More Deadly Than Smoking

Grounding, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A recent article, published in the Journal of Internal Medicine on March 16, 2016, found that folks who avoided sun exposure had a decreased life expectancy, similar to smokers who bathed in the sun. This study looked at almost 30,000 participants (females ages 25 – 64 year old with no history of malignancy) over a span of 20 years. Researchers followed participants for over 20 years and tracked health outcomes and life span. What did they find? Researchers found that even when smoking was factored in, the life span of those who avoided the sun was over 2

Vit D To Boost Your Weight Loss Benefits

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

Vitamin D boosts the health benefits of weight loss! By simply adding Vitamin D supplementation to your weight loss plan, you reduce your whole-body inflammation, a new study suggests (published April 23, 2015 in Cancer Prevention Research.) High levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin (IL)-6 have been linked to increased risk of developing devastating illness including cancer… as chronic inflammation is thought to be a pro-tumor state for the body. By reducing systemic inflammation, you reduce your chances of cancer and other chronic diseases. This is one of the reasons I find grounding the body (touching
