Episode Details

New Podcast! 🔊🔊🔊 In this episode I’m joined by Lola Turvey, @theliftingmidwife who is an amazing midwife and antenatal/postnatal fitness expert… who is also recovering from a hysterectomy. In our conversation Lola shared her journey through & beyond her surgery, including: 👉 why we need to talk more about preparing for the recovery process, both the physical AND the emotional process 👉 prehab and setting realistic expectations afterwards; do women understand what is happening with THEIR hysterectomy? Is it open/laparoscopic? Is it total/partial? Keeping the ovaries or not? 👉 post-op recovery, why too many women end up asking ‘is it just me?’ because they don’t know what to expect ? 👉 consideration for future hormonal health, and the implications for bone, pelvic, heart and brain & mental health? 👉 the role of exercise in post-hysterectomy recovery for both physical and mental health, and the importance of choosing the right exercise at the right time 👉 and of course, bowel health and constipation 💩 💩 💩 Want to learn more? You can still save €100 on my new course ‘Hysterectomy: Prehab to Rehab’ which goes from prehab, to post-op recovery to living well long term after hysterectomy - there’s a link in my bio (but the course price does go up next week so if you want to save €100 - this is your chance!)
