✍️ My Story: Life After a Hysterectomy — Finding Balance Again

No one prepared me for what would happen after my hysterectomy. Sure, they talked about surgical risks, recovery time, and maybe needing some hormones. But no one warned me that losing my uterus would send my whole system into chaos.

I expected to feel relief. Instead, I felt like a stranger in my own body.

Within weeks, my energy tanked. My hair thinned. My moods swung like a pendulum. I couldn’t sleep. I gained weight that refused to budge—no matter how “healthy” I ate or how many supplements I threw at it. I cried in grocery store parking lots. I couldn’t explain what was happening, only that something felt off.

It took time—and a lot of digging—to realize my body wasn’t just recovering from surgery. It was in hormonal free fall.

Without ovaries, my estrogen and progesterone dropped dramatically. My thyroid became sluggish. I lost the buffer my hormones once provided for stress, metabolism, and even emotional resilience. And I wasn’t alone—this is a reality for so many women after hysterectomy, yet we’re rarely given the tools to navigate it.

So I built my own.

I started with lab testing—thyroid, cortisol, hormone panels—to finally get real data. Then I used targeted herbs, like those in Balancing Act, to support hormone detox and adrenal function. I took Not Today Satan to help with cortisol rhythm, and Finding Joy when the emotional fog got too thick.

I shifted how I ate, how I moved, and how I rested. And I gave myself grace.

This wasn’t about “bouncing back.” It was about reclaiming my rhythm.

Hormonal healing is slow, sacred work. It’s not a quick fix—it’s a conversation with your body that unfolds day by day. If you’ve had a hysterectomy or are in the thick of hormone chaos, please know: you are not alone, and your symptoms are not imaginary.

You deserve full-spectrum support—not just a pat on the head and a prescription. And I’m here to help guide the way.
