I Had No Idea This One Neurotransmitter Changes Everything We Know About Aging

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

Serotonin is historically linked with depression — and poor sleep as well — since serotonin is the precursor to melatonin and folks who are low in serotonin are likely low in melatonin too. (Which sucks because as I blog about here, folks struggling with depression are only likely to have the depression resolve if they are sleeping well.) But today’s medical study truly blew me away, because it reveals that serotonin isn’t just linked with depression and sleep, but with cognition. In fact, this study suggests that the decline in cognition and memory issues as we age isn’t simply […]

Recovering Memory In Dementia — One Simple Trick

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

New research shows that in Alzheimer’s patients, long term memory can be regained through listening to music! Listening to music that is familiar to the dementia patient from their past reawakens long term memories about who the person is, who their family is, and the context of their life. This has huge implications in quality of living, in social interactions and even in activity levels. If you play music that holds special meaning to a patient experiencing memory loss, you are very likely to help them recover context and depth and recognition in the form of long term memory

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

Although our population is aging, the incidence of dementia has dropped by 20% every decade over the three decades. These results, recently published on Feb 10, 2016 in the New England Journal of Medicine, give more than hope… they give definitive proof that dementia is a preventable

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

As we previously talked about here, probiotics have been found to be so powerful in stabilizing the mind/gut axis that they are actually a treatment for depression. Add to that, a new study that shows taking probiotics for only one month reduces stress, decreases anxiety and even improves memory! Researchers looked at the strain of Bifidobacterium longum and followed what effect this probiotic had when used as a “psychobiotic” — looking at mood, stress, and even cognitive performance. Turns out, not only does the gut play an essential role in your ability to absorb and utilize nutrients… …and
