Let Me Walk You Through Exactly How Your Body Is Speaking To You Right Now

Intuitive Medicine / By Laura Koniver, MD

One thing I know about intuition is this: everybody has it and everyone can use it. If I can access my intuition, absolutely without a doubt, so can you. I absolutely was THE most conventional person on the planet… since 4 years old my goal was to become a physician and I worked hard to become an M.D. by the age of 26 years old — I was super square and type A personality (plus tons of anxiety plus high functioning autism… so yeah, really a truly rigid and boxed in.) After I became pregnant …

How To Protect Your Mental Health From Work Related Stress

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Because we are headed into cooler months, most of us will be spending more time indoors. When we are inside for most of the day, it affects our levels of stress and our mental health. In fact, job stress may cause as many as one out of every seven new cases of depression, anxiety and other common mental disorders, suggests a study published in Lancet Psychiatry. Researchers looked at over 6,800 participants, ranking job strain at age 45 with risk of mental illness at age 50. The results were astounding. Having a job that is highly …

Tons Of Holistic Health Ideas To Help You Move Through Grief

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

A few years ago I became a Death Doula. You would think as a physician we would be taught in detail about the death and dying process in medical school, but we weren’t. Not at all. We were taught how to pronounce someone dead, how to preform advanced life support to try to stave off death, how to sign a death certificate… but never about the intricacies of it: what the body feels and experiences as the soul prepares to leave it, what the dying process looks like, what order the organ systems shut down in and how …

5 Crucial Ways To Support Your Child As They Head Back To School

Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

It’s mid-august, and that means back-to-school season, so the next three blog posts are here to help support your transition to that this time brings. There can be a lot of stress associated with back-to-school season. For some, back-to-school means an increased risk of in person bullying (as well as social media bullying) and scary headlines that include school shootings, piled on top of the normal stressors of navigating growing up and figuring out a career goal and growing from a child’s body into an adult body and all the growing pains in between, as well as …

What To Do When Facing A Difficult Health Decision

Health Videos, Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine / By Laura Koniver, MD

Several winters ago I attended a wonderful medical conference in which I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Terry Wahls speak. She is so impressive, with the amount of medical experience, knowledge and wisdom she possesses… particularly in the field of autoimmune disorders and how diet impacts our body’s health. Visit her website here if you are interested in learning more about that. That’s not what I loved most, however. The part I loved most was when she talked about helping patients get clear on why they even want to do the work of healing in the first …

A Mother’s Love Capable of Helping to Protect Your Health As An Adult

Female Health, Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

In honor of Mother’s Day this weekend, I want to share with you one of my all time favorite medical studies. It shows how a little TLC from your mom may actually help protect your health, well into adulthood. Published in 2005 in Dialoges in Clinical Neuroscience, researchers found that the how much affection a mommy rat showed to her babies in their first week of life protected them from future stress later on in life — decreasing their stress response and even lowering stress hormone production. Researchers compared two different types of mom rats, separating them …

Why Our Posture Affects Our Energy Level And Our Emotions

Chakra Health, Healing Artwork, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

The last time I ran my annual Chakra Healing Class, one of the most interesting topics came up. On of the participants (thank you Steve!) mentioned that he noticed becoming more short of breath when his posture slumped. That brought on a wonderful discussion of all the different ways that poor posture literally physically affects your health… everything from dry mouth and dental issues to decreased oxygenation, decreased sleep quality and even increased ADHD symptoms. But posture affects more than just our physical body… it affects our spirit. In class I shared a link …
