A 5 minute DIY supplement for brain health!

Intuitive Medicine / By Laura Koniver, MD

It’s one of my best ideas ever, I believe. You see, coconut oil is just so fabbo it feeds your brain, is an extremely healthy source of much needed saturated fat, and supports your entire body inside and out. I use it head to toe… everything from a hot oil hair treatment to a moisturizer (find out more about all that in my Skin Happiness book right now!) to oil pulling to cooking and as a nutritional supplement to prevent Alzheimers. But look at this stuff. Sometimes… it’s hard to choke down. And then I had …

The Two Healthiest Ways To Have A Period Are Also The Two Cheapest!

Female Health / By Laura Koniver, MD

For my last period, I couldn’t find my much beloved Diva cup. (I can literally hear all the guys reading this instantly click off this blog post, but if you are brave enough to make it past that first sentence I think you’ve made it past the hard part.) Well, I was debating whether to use the cloth pads my daughter uses or break down and use a tampon, which I haven’t used in years and years. I didn’t really love the idea of going through my week wearing cloth pads exclusively around the clock… but in the end I …

Healthy Mindframe, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Check it out if you missed it… full of things you can try today in order to decrease your allergies tomorrow!! Today I thought I’d give a few more ideas for the second thing that crosses my mind each spring besides allergies… spring cleaning!!!

The earth below

Grounding, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Nothing soothes the mid-winter blahs like delighting in Baker’s Creek heirloom seed catalog, planning a spring garden that is just around the corner (or so I keep wanting to believe!) The earth awaits, my friends! Thanks to saving seeds from last years crop (tutorial here) I had all our standard seeds stored and ready for use for free this year, which left me some extra wiggle room to expand our garden and try out some fun new crops I’ve never tried before. I might have gone a little overboard, but I just can’t wait to get started. In …

Saving Summers Seeds (say that three times fast!)

Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Remember my tutorial, back in June, about allowing some of your garden fruits and veggies to go to seed and how to harvest and save them for replanting? If enjoy gardening, you’ll take twice as much pride and twice as much pleasure in planting seeds that you’ve saved from your own garden. Propagating your own garden from your own seeds means you have basically a free garden, assuming you use your own compost for fertilizer. That’s my goal… add one or two new crops to the mix each year, but re-grow my old faves from the previous year’s seed. So …

Grape Jelly Time

Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Around here in SC we are wrapping up grape picking season. You have another week or so to get yourself (and your kids!) out there picking the lovely muscadine grapes that are growing right on the vine. After you come home with them, you’ll want to be sure to make the easiest jelly on earth out of ’em. This is my favorite preserve to make, because there is no hulling, cutting, dicing, getting the seeds out, milling, peeling, etc… that comes along with strawberry jelly, apple jelly, cherry, etc. I guess it’s about equal to making my other favorite preserve, …

Thoughts on Health FAQ: Uterine Prolapse… or “Thanks a lot, gravity!”

Female Health / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve been asked about uterine prolapse multiple times over the past month or two, so I thought it would be a good topic for my blog. With all of the commercials out there asking you to sue your doctor if you’ve had a mesh implant… and all of the complications that can arise from the surgery, I wanted to share with you my advice for mild prolapse. Avoid surgery. That is my advice for sure. But what can you do to help with mild to moderate prolapse? Enter Jade and Pearl. Jade and Pearl sell reusable sea pearls (all …
