Warmer Weather = Stinkier Pits… Unless You Do This!

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Last week I presented a recent study that revealed: If you avoid the sun, your mortality rate is actually higher than the mortality rate of a heavy smoker! So instead of avoiding the sun, I encouraged you to get out there this spring and summer and enjoy the weather! I also gave you some of my recommendations for keeping your skin safe while going outside under those damaging UV rays. But when you are outside in that beautiful sunshine, it’s not just the UV exposure… it’s also the sweat! For odor protection, I don’t recommend antiperspirant or deodorant… …

Are Your Shoes Causing More Harm Than Good?

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

So… I’m not particularly into shoes. Seeing the beautiful results of Earthing on my patients (and in my own life) has me opting for going barefoot whenever possible, and sleeping grounded at night too. So I found it very interesting when the latest medical reports showed that the new trend towards maximalist shoes (thick soles, thick padded heels) completely failed to cushion the foot on impact and in fact increases the risk for injury…. the exact opposite of manufacturers’ claims. Turns out, cushioning does more harm than good for the dynamics of your foot, luring you into …

Plan To Get Your Body Moving In 2014?

Female Health, Healthy Weight / By Laura Koniver, MD

If you follow my blog, you already know I am a huge fan of walking to reduce your risk of diabetes as well as for cancer recovery. Moving my body more is certainly an ongoing goal for me in my own life… something I really want to do but never seem to find the time to prioritize. I don’t have the time (or desire) to fit in trips to the gym and I’ve never found an exercise DVD that I’ve felt like doing more than once. Enter… The Inspire Workouts. This is an innovative program that combines positive …

The Most Effective Way To Recover From Cancer

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

Today I’ll be reviewing a recently published study that examines the link between exercise and health… specifically, cancer recovery. Just like last week’s article, the article today shows that being up on your feet — simply walking — is the best predictor of positive outcome in cancer recovery we have. No stressful or intense exercise needed. Just being up and about daily is a better predictor of cancer recovery and reduces mortality rates better than any chemotheraputic agent we have, reports Dr. John Marshall, MD. Published on Jan 13, 2013 in the Journal Of Clinical Oncology, researchers …

Studies Prove: Long Term Health Is NOT About Exercising Hard

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

For years physicians have been recommending an exercise program for cardiometabolic health. Well… turns out it’s not really about the intensity of the exercise. Several landmark studies have come out in the past few months revealing that it’s not how strenuously you exercise that matters. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you “exercise” at all. What matters, both in cardiovascular health and in cancer prognosis, among other parameters… is how often you just get up and move around. Answer this… what do you think is healthier? Do you think it is better to: Hit the gym …

The month of love, February, is Heart Month on my website! All this month I’ll be releasing information to keep your heart healthy.

Thoughts On Health… Excercise (dang!)

Female Health, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Oh how I have fallen. I am completely out of my exercise routine… I manage to work in an at-home 20 minute Yoga DVD about twice a week and those 40 minutes, my friend, is the total sum of my exercising attempts lately. At first I told myself it’s okay because I’m young and can get it all back. Hmmm. I think I still can but it’s going to be harder to re-capture my cardiovascular fitness now then it used to be, so instead of maintaining health I will have to re-build it. Bummer. Then I told …
