Today I wanted to round up my favorite medical studies for you on how fatty acids impact our brain function so you can see why it’s one of my absolute favorite supplements to recommend.

Healthy Mindframe, Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Well I thought this would be the perfect medical article to blog about this week, as many of us tuck into eating huge delicious Thanksgiving holiday meals! If you are going to eat, don’t make those calories laden with guilt and remorse and negative thinking. As you can read in one of my previous blog posts, fat shaming physically harms your health. Don’t allow shame over food choices or weight to ruin your well being. Release the negative thinking and just enjoy what you eat. To help with that, here is a recently published medical study

Improving Gut Flora = Huge Benefits In Autism

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve already written extensively about the power of the gut-mind axis and how probiotics have been able to dramatically support brain function, treating everything from mood disorders to cognition. One study showed depression improved when participants received probiotic supplements for 30 days, and another study reported clinically significant improvement in mood when participants ate probiotic-containing yogurt for 3 weeks. Yet another study showed that participants with chronic fatigue syndrome who consumed probiotics three times a day reported significantly less anxiety compared to those who did not. Another study assessed cognitive performance, mood, memory, acute stress (both subjectively

This supplement decreases diabetic pain (and decreases asthma flares too!)

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve already told you about a recent study that shows low Vit D is a risk factor for developing diabetes. Today’s medical literature review further confirms the role of Vitamin D in not just preventing diabetes, but actually treating diabetic pain once it has already developed…. …after just ONE DOSE! Which is huge. Because not only does Vit D increase insulin sensitivity and prevent diabetes, but it actually gives you a tool to help treat issues such as diabetic nerve pain once it has developed. The Study: Researchers studied over 140 participants with Type 2 Diabetes who suffered

Bullying Is No Joke, 3 Ways To Protect Your Kids

Medical Reports, Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

Continuing in this Back-To-School month with a focus on the health of our children, let’s talk about something uncomfortable. Let’s talk about something that we *need* to be talking about more. Let’s talk about something positive that we can do to protect the physical and mental well being of our children for the rest of their lives: end bullying. Published in JAMA Psychiatry in Feb, 2016, the largest study ever to look at childhood bullying documents something we already *know* — that victims of bullying in childhood have painful, lasting ramifications well into adulthood. The Study:

Low Vit D Linked To Increase In Dementia And Broken Bones (You Can Prevent It)

Female Health, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Low vitamin D levels are associated with a substantial acceleration of memory loss and cognitive decline, a new study shows. Published Sept 14, 2015 in JAMA Neurology, researchers looked at baseline vitamin D levels and mental status change in over 380 adults (average age 75 years old.) Here is what they found: 35% of participants were vit D insufficient. Average vit D levels were lowest among participants found to have dementia (average levels were 16 ng/mL — goal vit D levels are 40 ng/mL or higher according to the Vitamin D Council.) Followed for almost 5 years,

Walking and Cancer Recovery: A Crucial Connection

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve already blogged about how walking — just walking! — has been medically found to support cancer recovery better than any chemotherapeutic agent we have currently available. And now, just released in 2015, the first meta-analysis looking at the effects of walking on sleep in cancer patients. Sleep disorders are very common during cancer treatment and recovery with many patients reporting daily sleep disturbances which in turn affect physical function, healing, mood, energy levels, and quality of life. Although it is well know that exercise has been shown to improve sleep due to boosted immune response, core body
