Lipedema affects an estimated 11% of women, yet so many people have never even heard the word.
Women have spent years being told to eat less, exercise more, and try harder when their bodies weren’t responding the way they were expected to.
As someone who works with women navigating hypermobility, chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, and connective tissue disorders every day, I think it’s incredibly important that we keep talking about conditions like lipedema. The more we understand our bodies, the more we can advocate for ourselves and find providers who actually know what they’re looking at.
