How To Release Weight Changes That Are Caused By Stress

Healthy Weight / By Laura Koniver, MD

Gaining weight (or losing weight) unintentionally is a common response to chronic or acute stress.

10 Ways Grounding Can Directly Support Your Health During This Pandemic

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

I’ve gotten lots of emails asking if grounding is a good idea as a way to boost health during this pandemic. The medical literature suggests the answer to this is a resounding “Yes!” for many reasons, probably more than you think.

To me, the most positive thing that has come out of this pandemic is how this “forced pause” has been allowed everyone, all over the globe, to come together in an absolute, unified, world wide, eye opening moment to truly see that our wellness depends on the wellness of the planet. And when we stop and pause, the planet heals. People are hearing birds singing again, noticing that springtime trees and flowers …
