5 Things You Can Do To Naturally Lift Depression

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

Yet another medical study continues to verify that probiotics absolutely robustly treat depression. Researchers found that only 4 weeks — just ONE MONTH — of probiotic therapy significantly lifted depression, decreased anhedonia, reversed sleep disturbances… and that these improvements were still sustained months later. These results are so impressive because probiotics had zero of the adverse side effects that prescriptions antidepressants do and can safely be taken indefinitely. The Study: (presented at the 13th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry on June 19, 2017) 10 patients with major depressive disorder in a current episode of depression were treated with a […]

Your Extra Weight Is Not As Bad For You As Your Doctor Wants You To Think

Female Health, Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Healthy Weight, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

I am always reading the medical literature looking for positive messages to share with you. And during the holiday season… when most of us have naturally gained a little weight… this is the perfect time to share today’s uplifting medical study with you. This latest study didn’t receive much attention (the negative scary reports always seem to be the ones your doctors want to share with you!) but I think it should have. Researchers looked at two very large databases, examining body mass (Body Mass Index — BMI) and metastatic renal (kidney) cancer survival rates. They found that obesity

Anxiety Doubles Cancer Mortality. It Doesn’t Have To… Here’s How.

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

Presented Sept 20, 2016 at the 29th European College of Neuropsychoparmacology Congress, the largest study to date looking at patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) reveals that anxiety more than doubles the risk of a mortality from cancer. Even after adjusting for smoking, alcohol intake, sedentary lifestyle and other co-morbid disease conditions, just having anxiety independently increases cancer mortality rates. The Study: Looking at over 15,000 patients older than 40 years old from 1993 through 1997, researchers followed the participants through 2015. Participants with a diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) were followed for cancer diagnosis and

The Quickest Way To Heal Is To Surrender, Here’s How

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

Surrendering is safe. Working intuitively with patients all over the globe, I’ve learned a lot about loss, grief and healing. I can say for a fact that what heals people in real life contrasts quite vividly to what I *learned* about grief and healing in med school. I still remember being in medical school and learning all about the classic model of the grief process, set forth by the amazing and brave Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: D A B D A (I’m sure many of my readers, who are also healers, are familiar with this acronym:) meaning: D â€” denial

Immediate Healing Support That Works For Everyone

Grounding, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve been a physician for over 16 years and I’ve seen quite a lot of patients over those years. And during all that time, I’ve only come across one healing modality that supports the entire body â€” head to toe, every organ system â€” in such a powerful way. Clear air is awesome and nurturing. Juicing is powerful and cleansing. Purified water is hydrating and supportive. But inevitably, with every holistic healing modality I worked with, there would be some patients who benefit greatly and some who get absolutely no results whatsoever. Some folks heal with a certain

Adult Onset ADHD Totally Different Than Childhood ADHD

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle, Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

Ever since I blogged about 5 Holistic Ways To Treat ADHD a few weeks ago, I’ve gotten dozens of emails from readers wondering if the same approach would help them with their adult ADHD too. So this is the perfect time to update you on the latest medical research about adult onset ADHD and give you a few additional recommendations.

This is important to understand, because currently to have a
