@beautybykatguthealth: Most women spend weeks preparing for the surgery. Almost nobody prepares for the hormone shift that comes after it. The biggest mistake? Assuming that if your ovaries stay, your hormones stay the same too. Here's what a lot of women aren't told: your ovaries share part of their blood supply with the uterus. Research shows that even when the ovaries are kept, many women hit menopause earlier than they would have otherwise. And if your ovaries are removed, you don't ease into menopause. You wake up in it. Hot flashes, sleep that falls apart, mood swings you don't recognize, weight that suddenly settles around your middle. Many women blame the surgery or the recovery, when it's really their hormones recalibrating. I had side effects before I even got home from the hospital. Then I gained 40 lbs in the first year after my surgery. So before your surgery date, ask your doctor two questions: Are my ovaries staying (and don’t let them tell you you’ll be just fine!) And what are ALL my options for my hormones afterward? Because HRT is usually the first thing offered, but is NOT the answer for many women. It wasn't the answer for me. HRT made everything worse, and I felt more lost than before I started. What finally changed things was going the natural route with a natural hormone pack protocol, supporting my gut, steadying my blood sugar, getting enough protein, and giving my body real hormone and nervous system support. That's when my sleep, mood, and energy started coming back. Your body is capable of more than you've been told, and you deserve to know there's another path. now, not after the symptoms hit. Steady blood sugar, enough protein, a healthy gut, and real nervous system support make the transition so much gentler. Comment HORMONES and I'll send you the natural hormone support I use daily.
