@beautybykatguthealth: The number one mistake women make before having a hysterectomy? Thinking the surgery is the end of the conversation about their hormones. I wish I had understood this BEFORE my hysterectomy. Even when your ovaries are left in place, your body can still go through significant changes afterward. And for some women, the symptoms don’t show up immediately. The sleep changes. The mood swings. The stubborn weight gain. The brain fog. The hot flashes. The belly fat. The loss of libido. The feeling that your body suddenly isn’t responding the way it used to. I spent years being told my labs were “normal” while I knew something had changed. I gained 40 pounds the first year after my hysterectomy! Now, one of the things I wish every woman had on her radar BEFORE surgery is how she plans to support her body through the transition. I tried HRT and it made everything worse for me, but you need to know there’s other options. That’s a huge part of why I use the natural Hormone Pack I use today. It’s not about pretending you can prevent every hormonal change. It’s about giving your body nutritional and adaptogenic support while you navigate them. If you’ve had a hysterectomy, are preparing for one, or you’re suddenly realizing your body feels completely different bc of perimenopause or menopause, comment HORMONES and I’ll send you the details. ❤️ #midlifewomen #hysterectomy #womenshealthjourney #perimenopause #hysterectomythoughts
