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 …

Connecting With Others Protects Your Own Heart’s Health… Here’s How

Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

We all intuitively can feel that connecting with others boosts our health, right? How much better do you feel after a warm hug from a friend, the comforting squeeze of a partner’s hand, or the joy of laughing around a dinner table with your children. Sharing space with a loved one for even one minute is enough to completely turn a bad day into a good one. Medical studies have shown that increasing your connection to others not only improves your health, it actually increases your longevity. I feel this has something to do with the fact …

Valentine’s Day Special Edition: Heart Health From Every Angle… Mind, Body & Soul

Female Health, Healing Artwork, Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Our minds and our hearts are inextricably intertwined. Mostly we can feel this on an emotional level — we can literally feel the people we love making our hearts feel warm and protected and expand in our chest. 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. Some of you are also aware that electrically — the brain and the heart each have an electrical field and that these electrical fields overlap. This gives our brain’s electrical …

How Grounding Helps Protect Your Cardiac Function For A Lifetime

Grounding, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Last week I wrote an article for you outlining how stress and trauma increases your risk for heart disease, but that this increased risk was reversible. This week, let me give you one of the best tools I know for supporting heart health — that is through grounding. Our hearts emit the strongest electromagnetic field of our entire body… thousands of times stronger than the electromagnetic field of our brains! The human heart’s electromagnetic field is measured at about 100,000 times stronger electrically (and 5,000 times stronger magnetically) than the human brain. This electomagnetic frequency that pulses …

Heart Disease In Women As A Response To Trauma

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

Today I have a very interesting new study to share with you, published just this year on March 17, 2021 in JAMA Cardiology. Most studies on heart disease focus on the male population, so this one really caught my eye — specifically focusing on the link between heart disease in women with a history of trauma. Looking at almost 400,000 women, researchers identified women diagnosed with PTSD and matched them to age and cardiovascular risk correlated female controls with no history of PTSD. They then looked at ischemic heart disease outcomes, including new onset coronary artery disease, angina or …

A Super Interesting Difference Between Men and Women

Female Health, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

A very interesting study looked at how our heart responds to mental stress. Turns out, there is a very key difference between the way a woman’s heart responds to stress and the way a man’s heart responds. Mental stress is well known to trigger cardiac changes (as I go into more detail on below…) but so far, no study had looked out a difference between the sexes. Today’s study, published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology on Dec. 21, 2017, showed definitively that there is an incredible difference between how a woman’s cardiovascular system responds to mental stress …

Yet Another Study Gives Survival Advantage To Overweight, Not Underweight

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

Well I thought this would be the perfect medical article to blog about this week, as many of us tuck into eating huge delicious Thanksgiving holiday meals! If you are going to eat, don’t make those calories laden with guilt and remorse and negative thinking. As you can read in one of my previous blog posts, fat shaming physically harms your health. Don’t allow shame over food choices or weight to ruin your well being. Release the negative thinking and just enjoy what you eat. To help with that, here is a recently published medical study …
