Emotional Stress Directly Predicts Heart Attack… 10 Ways To Prevent It

Grounding, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Finally, a medical study explains why there is a direct correlation between stress and heart attack. It turns out, increased brain activity in the area of emotional processing (the amygdala) directly increases the risk of cardiovascular events.

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

This week, many of us are heading into the holidays.

It’s not about the fat… saturated fat intake does not increase rate of death.

How Long Does It Take For Earthing Help Your Body?

Grounding, Health Videos, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

I notice in medicine and healthcare in general there is a lot of pressure on the patient to do things a certain way. It causes undue stress that is just NOT necessary. The classic example is exercise — patients are told to exercise three times a week for an hour each time and as a result, when they simply can’t find an hour to exercise they don’t do it at all. And that’s so wrong, because as I reported here, *anything* is sooo much better than nothing. Literally, just standing up from your chair and sitting right

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

Stop Suffering… Embrace Your Adaptability

Healthy Mindframe / By Laura Koniver, MD

“Staying Open Minded” There’s a lot of suffering in thinking you should know and be right and figure things out and that sort of thing. When we are out there in ego, we believe we can know and should know. When we come back to center, we realize that we don’t know and we don’t need to know. So it’s a coming back to center that has us on the right path. – Cheri Huber The brain is our knowledge power house. It is our database, stores our memories, sorts facts, a filing cabinet which processes new information
