Louise Glazebrook is a renowned dog behaviorist, trainer, author, TV presenter, and entrepreneur who recently opened up about her inspiring journey of strength and achievement over illness.

As the founder of The Wonder Club, Louise has built a reputation for her canine behavior and training expertise.

In a candid social media post on September 24th, Louise shared her deeply personal struggle with an illness that profoundly impacted her life.

Louise Struggles with Mysterious Health Issues

Two years ago, she underwent neurosurgery, which left a lasting imprint on her body and skin.

Balancing the demands of being a self-employed professional and a parent while managing the aftermath of her surgery proved to be an arduous challenge for Louise.

Following the birth of her daughter, Louise experienced severe swelling, forcing her to remove her ring due to the discomfort.

The swelling then progressed to her feet, accompanied by a sense of disconnection and constant distress.

Initially, she was told these symptoms were due to the stress of raising two young children by her GP.

Louise sought medical advice, but after consulting her GP during the COVID-19 pandemic, she found no conclusive evidence of water retention.

A Life-Changing Diagnosis: Louise’s Journey to Recovery

Glazebrook illness grew beyond physical changes, as Louise found herself struggling with uncharacteristic mood swings and heightened irritability.

It wasn’t until she discovered a benign tumor on her pituitary gland, at the base of her brain that the pieces of her health puzzle began to fall into place.

During this challenging period, Louise continued to run her dog behaviorist business and even wrote a best-selling book in 2021, “The Book Your Dog Wishes You Would Read.

Her expertise led to an invitation to share her insights with Steph McGovern on a popular magazine show.

A fateful email from a viewer ultimately showed Louise a life-changing diagnosis.

The viewer suggested that her symptoms aligned with those of a rare hormone condition.

Following consultations confirmed that Louise was indeed suffering from acromegaly, a condition characterized by the growth of body tissues due to extra growth hormone.

With the guidance of Professor Ashley Grossman, a leading expert in neuroendocrinology, Louise learned that her condition could be remedied through surgery.

However, due to the pressure on healthcare resources during the pandemic, she faced a two-month wait before undergoing a critical five-hour operation to remove the tumor in May 2022.

In less than 24 hours after the surgery, Louise experienced a remarkable reduction in swelling, including her swollen tongue.

This transformative experience has left her feeling as though she has been granted a new opportunity in life.

Her willingness to share her story shines a light on the importance of seeking support, supporting one’s health, and embracing the opportunities that arise, even in the face of misfortune.
