How To Deal With Bugs This Spring… Yep, Including Ticks and Tick Bites

Ticks carrying the Lyme disease bacteria (Borrelia Burgdorferi) have been found in all 50 states, so don’t be fooled into thinking its only something that folks in the northeast have to be concerned with. But as much as I detest ticks, I really don’t want you to limit or stop your healing practice of connecting to Mother Earth outside daily because of a fear of ticks. To me, this healing practice of grounding is as crucial as eating or hydrating or breathing to stay healthy for an entire lifetime. The earth has food, air, water, and conductive support …

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Well it’s finally summer, and we can capitalize on the fact that outdoors is the safest place to be (even the CDC has published recommendations that all windows in homes, offices, and schools be kept open to increase venhilation) you can take advantage of the fact that sunlight is naturally germicidal and the Vitamin D boost you get is naturally immune boosting and move all of your indoor activities outside! So this brings up concerns about skin cancer and photo aging effects from sun exposure — but don’t let that stop you from going outside. Here’s why. A …

More Sunshine = Longer Life

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

Thank goodness summer is on the way. I am so happy to finally feel sunshine on my face again. Picnics, gardening, bare feet, after dinner strolls… they all become so much easier with a little sunshine! But that means more sun exposure… typically something we read a lot of negative things about. And as usual, each time the weather turns warmer I get tons of emails flooding me asking for my recommendation on a good sunscreen (I give you a link to the one I use below!) So today, I thought it would be important to share with …

I’m so excited. We are officially well into May and this month I am actually taking my first three day vacation in a long, long time!

With all of this beautiful warmer weather, I’ve had lots of questions come up (in the …

Warmer Weather = Stinkier Pits… Unless You Do This!

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Last week I presented a recent study that revealed: If you avoid the sun, your mortality rate is actually higher than the mortality rate of a heavy smoker! So instead of avoiding the sun, I encouraged you to get out there this spring and summer and enjoy the weather! I also gave you some of my recommendations for keeping your skin safe while going outside under those damaging UV rays. But when you are outside in that beautiful sunshine, it’s not just the UV exposure… it’s also the sweat! For odor protection, I don’t recommend antiperspirant or deodorant… …
