🩺 Can a Hernia Heal On Its Own?
If you’ve noticed a bulge or discomfort and wondered whether it might go away without surgery, you’re not alone — and it’s an important question.

👉 Signs a hernia may be worsening

Lasagna Soup - All of the flavor without all of the carbs!

Ingredients:
1 Tbls olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 small onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups chicken broth
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes (I use Rotel)
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
1 tsp Italian seasoning
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (more if you want it spicy)
1 tsp basil
Salt & pepper to taste
3 packets Proti pasta
Shaved parmesan cheese - optional
Shredded mozzarella - optional

Directions
1. Brown ground turkey and onions in olive oil.
2. Add garlic and peppers and cook until tender, about 2 minutes.
3. Add broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce and seasonings; bring back to a simmer and add pasta packets.
4. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is tender. (Proti pasta is firmer than regular pasta when cooked)

🧠 Think your hernia is just a small bump? Think again.
Hernias don’t heal on their own—and while many start small, they can get bigger or more serious over time. Knowing when to take action could make all the difference in your comfort, safety, and recovery.
journeytothenewyou.com

👉 In our latest blog, we break down 5 key signs that your hernia might be worsening, including:

🔹 A bulge that’s getting larger or doesn’t go away when you lie down
🔹 Increasing pain or discomfort with activity
🔹 Trouble pushing the bulge back in
🔹 Digestive symptoms like nausea or bloating
🔹 Redness, warmth, or tenderness around the area

💡 These changes could mean your hernia is progressing—or even facing complications that need prompt care. Early evaluation with a hernia specialist allows for planned, safer treatment and better outcomes.
