🟣Lipedema massage therapy

What massage is recommended for Lipedema is a question I often get asked and Daniela .palazzi.mldtherapist answers some of these questions during this video in honour of Lipedema Awareness month.

The main concepts to remember are below:

🟣MLD( Manual lymphatic drainage) does not help to treat fibrosis but it can help with fluid release. Different techniques matter and combination with other techniques it's best.
🟣A deeper tissue massage is needed for Lipedema but it shouldn't cause bruising as that can damage the lymphatics.
🟣Massage Therapy is very effective in combination with conservative therapies like nutrition, compression and exercise.

The use of tools like Deep Oscillation can help with Lipedema fibrosis and we did target the ankles with it over some sessions too.

🤔Gluten&Dairy free while travelling

I often hear from many of my clients that it's hard to keep Gluten&Dairy free while travelling. And I am here to tell you that it's actually not that hard once you know what to choose and swap.

So here are my usual go to:

✔️Hummus& carrots/ cucumber
✔️Ham, turkey or cooked chicken. I'm very lucky I have access to naked ham both in IE and the UK.
✔️snacks: seaweed crisps are delicious and salty which can help post travel when your blood pressure starts to dip
✔️Kefir always. And you can have it dairy free also. Coconut Kefir is delicious. I picked up the one which is delish. The extra probiotics are always very beneficial while travelling.
✔️Seed crackers for some extra fibre which you need while travelling.
✔️dairy and Gluten free chocolate has to be the pistachio 🤤
✔️Gluten free Taralli was a great find. Please bring them to Ireland 😍

If you are out in a restaurant you may have to choose which one would be the least problematic. Gluten is always a big no for me in restaurants as it's most likely not organic and I will likely react but dairy is most likely the safest compromise in small amounts and in Ireland and the UK it is of exceptional quality.

What would go for when travelling. Let me know in the comments 👇

Do you find yourself stuck when travelling?

⚪From symptoms to clarity

Why testing is a crucial part of my clinic work.

🤔What are Functional testing? Let's clear the confusion and understand who can actually prescribe them and who is trained to interpret them.

✔️Functional testing are NOT diagnostic testing. Only medical doctors deal with diagnostic testing like a colonoscopy or endoscopy to rule out a medical diagnosis of your digestive system.

✅Functional testing can only be ordered from Nutritional Therapist, Dietitians and registered Nutritionist. These tests require extensive training and are used to assess cellular imbalances that cannot be detected with standard testing.

Which types I use in my clinic:

✔️I use many but I target specific ones depending on each individual needs. Some require more and some less. It really depends. But they are a fundamental part of my clinic work. Without testing you are really scratching the surface. It's not optional, it's essential.

❓I often get many questions about testing and what test may suits you more than others. It's for that reason that I created the Functional Testing& Action Plan service. This is my exclusive single session where you can get a test ordered and interpreted with an action plan specifically for you. This will allow you to have a starting point where things will finally make sense for you.

*The cost of the test is not included and it's a separate fee. Genetic testing interpretation not included in this service. Tests must be ordered through me only. No third party interpretation available.

If you are interested in learning more reach out and I will be more than happy to help.
