Walker and Joy are very excited to welcome the ‘Intuition Physician’, Dr. Laura Koniver, to the podcast today. Laura received her medical doctorate degree from Jefferson Medical College in 2000 and has been passionately supporting her patients’ natural healing ever since. She is an artist, author, holistic physician, and internationally recognized grounding advocate who has published her own children’s book on grounding, ‘From the Ground Up’. Her story is an inspiring one and she shares it, as well as her valuable knowledge and advice, with our hosts today.   Laura begins by detailing her journey toward discovering the healing power of nature and grounding, as well as how it led her to quit the conventional medical model and recognize the value of intuition. She then engages in an extensive examination of the practice of grounding, including our sensitivity to its effects, some products associated with grounding, COVID’s provision of opportunities to explore it, and the theories behind it. She also looks at those aspects of our lives that make us ungrounded and can generate a need for ‘shielding’, before finishing the conversation by introducing the ‘BRAIN’ decision making tool. In today’s episode, Dr. Koniver shares her thorough knowledge of the science behind these life-changing practices to support her first hand observations of their value, rendering this conversation, as Joy states, ‘one that everyone in the entire world needs to hear’.   Episode Highlights:    Laura’s story of discovering the healing power of nature and grounding The day she quit the conventional medical model The importance of building intuition into every decision Tapping into our inner wisdom The practice of grounding and its effects Some of the many ways to access conductive health Grounding cords COVID as a catalyst to explore grounding in our lives The things that make us ungrounded The need for ‘shielding’ Sensitivity to the effects of grounding Theories to explain how grounding works Grounding mats The ‘BRAIN’ decision making tool   Resources:   Intuition Physician homepage:   Intuition Physician   The Earth Prescription:   The Earth Prescription   More about Joyous Health  Check out our award-winning blog Joyous Health  Check out Joy’s bestselling cookbooks Follow Joyous Health on Instagram Find Joyous Health on Facebook Learn more about The Joyous Health Business Program Check out our full line of Natural & Organic Haircare and Body Care.
