10 Things I’m Doing Now To Prepare For Fall

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Ahhh… fall. How I love you!!! The cooler mornings. The walks outside. Leaves swirling through the air. My children laughing as they spend more time outside than ever before. Oh, but how you hold a dark secret inside of you. You don’t fool me for one instant… I know that the cooler mornings and campfire evenings are possible because of your tilt away from the sun… and how the days become shorter than the nights until they are so brief we wake up to darkness and eat dinner in darkness. And for me… shorter days and more darkness …

Sleep Deprivation Found To Increase Weight After Only A Few Days

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

A new study, recently published in SLEEP last month (July 2013) found that folks gained a significant amount of weight after only 5 days of poor sleep. Previous studies have shown a link between poor sleep and weight gain, but this is the first study where participants slept in-house in a sleep facility and the actual weight gain was measurably significant after only a handful of 4 hour nights in a row. Here are the study details: Researchers took 225 healthy adults with no history of sleep problems. Half of the participants had time in bed from 10 …

Poor Sleep Linked to Alzheimers: 9 Ways To Fix It.

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

For ages and ages, human beings followed the rhythm of the sun… going to sleep when the sun went down and rising with the sun in the morning. Our circadian rhythm was in concert with the earth and ensured that we got deep, restorative sleep in order to face the next day. These days, artificial lighting and long work days mean that most people (myself included!) have some sort of sleep abnormality and/or circadian rhythm disruption. Although we know that lack of sleep causes everything from memory problems, fatigue, decreased concentration, stress, and increased food cravings, a recent study …

My newest children’s book…

Healing Artwork, Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

I am so very happy and proud to reveal the cover of my newest children’s book Together We Sleep. This is a book I not only wrote and illustrated, but I lived. Though parenting books written by Dr. Sears and other attachment parenting leaders are full of advice on co-sleeping, there isn’t one single picture book that you could read aloud to your child about the natural beauty of sleep sharing. Until today. This book is gentle and beautiful and peaceful… filled with hand painted images of people and animals all around the world… animals in nature in every habitat …
