Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By

  Today I have a very interesting new study to share with you, published just this year on March 17, 2021 in JAMA Cardiology. Most studies on heart disease focus on the male population, so this one really caught my eye — specifically focusing on the link between heart disease in women with a history of trauma. Looking at almost 400,000 women, researchers identified women diagnosed with PTSD and matched them to age and cardiovascular risk correlated female controls with no history of PTSD. They then looked at ischemic heart disease outcomes, including new onset coronary artery disease, angina or

How To Release Weight Changes That Are Caused By Stress

Healthy Weight / By

    Gaining weight (or losing weight) unintentionally is a common response to chronic or acute stress. In fact, a recent poll conducted by the American Psychological Association found that most of us have experienced a significant weight change in the past year, thanks to the overwhelm that the 2020 pandemic brought our way. The poll revealed that 60% of Americans report undesired weight changes as a result of this year long pandemic. 42% of us gained a significant and unwanted amount of weight and almost 20% of us had an undesired and significant loss of weight.

The Good News About Trauma Recovery

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By

Is there good news with trauma? Actually, yes.     The largest meta-analysis to date on trauma recovery (looking at data from over 11,000 relevant medical studies) suggests that the best long term recovery after trauma is simply talking about it, no medication required.   Published in JAMA Psychiatry on June 12, 2019, reasearchers looked at direct comparisons between talk therapy (psychotherapy) and drug therapy (pharmacological treatments) in patients with PTSD. They found that in the long term, talk therapy helped more, being slightly superior to drug therapy both immediately following treatment and in long term follow up. The studies

Going From Surviving To Thriving After Cancer

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By

  One year ago today I almost died. My appendix acutely ruptured and I went into shock. I was rushed into surgery and my surgeon said I was about 2 hours away from things being very dicey with survival. Thank God, truly, for advancements in modern medicine such that they could save my life that day.   That said, what modern medicine has not quite figured out as well, is how to maintain or boost wellness. Or how to recover wellness after a major medical crisis. After surgery I had one follow up appointment where they made sure I was
