June is Lipedema Awareness Month ๐
So this month, weโre bringing it back to the basics:
What *is* Lipedema?
Lipedema is a chronic fat disorder that primarily affects women and most commonly impacts the legs and arms. Symptoms can include:
โจ Painful fat
โจ Easy bruising
โจ Heaviness in the limbs
โจ Swelling
โจ Fat that does not respond normally to diet and exercise
Many women go years โ sometimes decades โ without answers or are told to โjust lose weight.โ Awareness and education matter.
In this video, Dr. Wright discusses the basics of Lipedema and why continuing to spread awareness is so important for patients everywhere.
๐ Our biggest request this month: SHARE Lipedema education.
Whether itโs this post or another informative post you come across, every share helps more people learn, feel seen, and potentially get diagnosed sooner.
Together, we can continue raising awareness, educating others, and supporting the Lipedema community ๐ค
