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 …

Painting the Energy of The Heart

Chakra Health, Healing Artwork / By Laura Koniver, MD

Since this is Heart Health Month, it’s the perfect time to show you a little behind-the-scenes of a painting series I just finished! I thought it would be fun to show you all the different layers of paint that went into the final painting. I generally get images or ideas of what I want to paint as I lay in bed at night inviting sleep in. One night I felt overcome with the desire to capture healing images of each chakra, so I spent a few weeks honing in on the words I felt activates the energy …

The World’s First Children’s Book about Earthingâ„¢!

Grounding, Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

I am so passionate about Earthingâ„¢ that I recommend it every single day to my patients — young and old alike. Connecting to the earth and grounding with your child is one of the best things you can do to support their long-term health. So many parents wanted to know exactly how to introduce Earthingâ„¢ as a healing technique with their young child. And how to explain it to older children who had scientific questions. Some parents wanted to know about what to do during bad weather or in the cold winter. Some were already connecting to the earth …

8 Ways To Support Intuition (and Heal the Third Eye Chakra)

Chakra Health, Intuitive Medicine / By Laura Koniver, MD

One of my patients came to me complaining of constant migraines. Frustrated after being given an “alls clear” by her family practitioner but still suffering from debilitating headaches and increasing fatigue, she came to me at her wit’s end. Working together through several consultations we were able to elucidate the cause of her symptoms. Turns out her fatigue began increasing when her job position changed to include customer service at work and her headaches are accompanied by dizziness. Going through her past medical history we were able to find out that she is an empath — a highly intuitive person …
