From Pain to Purpose: Her Hypothyroidism Journey ft. Kat Ostroumova
Visit https://www.tplmedia.ca
“Normal” labs don’t always explain why women feel exhausted, foggy, anxious or stuck with unexplained weight changes.
Kat Ostroumova explains how thyroid health, perimenopause, stress, sleep and daily habits can shape how women feel.
In this episode, we break down:
- Cat’s personal battle with hypothyroidism and how it led her into women’s health coaching
- Why women can still experience serious symptoms even when bloodwork comes back “normal”
- How hypothyroidism and perimenopause can share symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, hair changes and weight gain
- Why one-size-fits-all advice like “eat less and exercise more” may not work for women dealing with hormonal changes
- The wellness basics Cat prioritizes: balanced nutrition, strength training, walking, sleep, stress management and sustainable habits
- How Cat changed her fasting, caffeine, cardio and strength-training routine as she approached 40
- Why mindset, self-care and consistency can be just as important as chasing the latest wellness trend
- Hosts: Shara Micucci
- Guests: Kat Ostroumova
