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 …

My Latest Painting On Letting Go Of Your Trauma Coping Mechanisms

Healing Artwork, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

So we walk in the dark heavy shadow of our walls and barriers, and we can’t even see the sun has started peeking out. I had an image of myself, walking with my umbrella over my …

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

Living with stress can have serious long term implications on our health. But it doesn’t have to. It’s natural for our bodies to go through times of trauma and stress and then rebound to full health. There are lots of things you can do to mitigate stress and trauma and prevent them from leaving lasting imprints on your body that ultimately deteriorates your health. Which is important, because if we don’t release the traumas and stressors that we experience, our cells, organs, tissues and physical body as a whole literally changes. This is the study of epigenetics — and I’ve …

Childhood Trauma Is Scary, Here Are 3 Things That Can Help Your Child Be Resilient

Medical Reports, Positive Parenting, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

There is so much hurting our children. Bullying and isolation and social media pressure 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 getting adequate nutrition and adequate sleep and it’s just all so stressful.

Heart Disease In Women As A Response To Trauma

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

Today I have a very interesting new study to share with you, published just this year on March 17, 2021 in JAMA Cardiology. Most studies on heart disease focus on the male population, so this one really caught my eye — specifically focusing on the link between heart disease in women with a history of trauma. Looking at almost 400,000 women, researchers identified women diagnosed with PTSD and matched them to age and cardiovascular risk correlated female controls with no history of PTSD. They then looked at ischemic heart disease outcomes, including new onset coronary artery disease, angina or …
