Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- Nutrition is considered a main and foundation component in the management of any lymphatic disease, including lymphedema and lipedema. Lipedema diet and lymphedema diets are always in the conversation, but things can get confusing with what has been proven to work. In this video, I discuss and share the most important components of nutrition and what kinds of foods can help improve lymphatic health to decrease lymphedema and lipedema.

Calories in/calories out is bunk. Lost 90 pounds increasing my calories. It was all inflammation and which foods I was putting in. And don’t go by a list of “anti inflammatory foods.” Fish, blueberries, and leafy greens are some of my worse inflammatory foods for me. People need to do an elimination diet to pinpoint their inflammation triggers.this is why people struggle to lose weight. They listen to the calories in/calories out and exercise tips and never make progress. I’d say most people watching these videos would probably benefit from removing all grains and processed sugars. And also look into chemical sensitivities in plants such as lectins, oxalates, etc. Took me a year to figure out my diet.
@@ProfShibe no, it does not. I tried several diets with a few different caloric intakes. Some people said “maybe your body is in starvation mode, and you need it increase your calories a bit. So I would play around with it and adjust. Nope. Did not lose the weight.
Then I did the carnivore diet where I ate six full ribeyes a day, which was at least triple the calories of the highest caloric intake I tried the other way. Other times it was 4 pounds of bacon. I did the math on the calories. I did not change lifestyle in any other way- didn’t change exercise or anything. I work from home and most of my time is spent on the couch/desk. No supplements, medications. Same house and living environment. No major changes in stress. You can only deny what you see first hand for so long.
What diet helped you manage inflammation?
@@hananals9576 carnivore diet. Specifically strict carnivore- some also call it the lion diet. Grassfed beef, salt, and water only. That’s ideal for me. If I vary inflammation comes back.
4 Pounds of Bacon in one day ?
Then 6 full ribeye steaks ?
Really ?
Hmm.. your problem would change quickly from Lymphedema to Heart attack.
@@jnstonbely5215 not both together. I did only pork or only beef. But yes, that much. Keep in mind I was breastfeeding and healing. So over time that dwindled down as I corrected my deficiencies. Went down eventually to eating two meals a day (no snacking)- usually 1 pound of ground beef for first meal and a ribeye for second meal.
No, no heart attack. My labwork for my cholesterol improved eating that way from before starting. It was out of range. Then after a full year of strict carnivore of only beef, salt, and water my cholesterol was in range along with my other labs that were out of range. Grew hair in. Health greatly improved.
I was diagnosticated 1 month ago and I was totally lost inside a tunnel, with your videos finally I can see light at the end.
Kelly this is an excellent integration of potential causes and potential solutions for lymphedema and improved lymphatic health. Great job and thank you!!
Btw, it appears you are speaking extemporaneously versus reading a script. This demonstrates your depth and breadth of knowledge regarding these topics. Well done!! You have helped me a great deal.
Thanks for sharing a link to my book! Great video!!
Watching my Lymphedema progress in spite of not being overweight, despite eating reasonably healthy,
living a fairly balanced, content life, shows me and confirms, that this nasty, devastating ~ and to some
extent debilitating ailment is here to stay whatever knowledge I gain about it.
Listening to you, Kelly, is nevertheless a comfort, because you are not trying to pretend to have all the
answers. What helps me personally is . . . yes gratitude . . . because I am able to accept, what can not
be cured. Grateful for all the things that give me reason to still count my blessings . . . and also grateful
to have found your precious channel. Thank you . . . and all the best to you in these uncertain times.
Thank you so much for your kindness, Karin! I love your perspective and thank you for sharing 🙂

I'm 1 week into a restriction diet to cure my lymphatic autoimmune issues. My legs fill with fluid after standing for a while. Gets very bad at the end of the day. Legs very heavy with pitting edema. Been this way for 10 years after coming off another restriction diet too suddenly.
My current diet is organic vegan paleo... no processed foods, no grains, no gluten, no legumes, no corn, no peanuts, no meat, no eggs, no dairy (I'm vegan anyway), no added sugars. All whole foods, plant based, but without the grains and peanuts.
What I eat... sweet potato, most veggies, most fruits, most nuts, tofu, tempeh, kimchi, kefir, kombucha, water. All organic too.
Fixing whatever I did 10 years ago that messed up my gut microbiome, with natural foods and fermented foods.
In 1 week I'm starting to think I'm cured, but don't want to jinx it so early.
I had every test done, lymph tests and scans, heart tests, vein tests and scans, seen doctors, nature paths and allergy specialists with no answers. I tried going gluten free a few times, but it never helped. I'm thinking maybe it was/is peanuts??
All love to you. Do you use compressed clothes
Thank you for the video. Please make more videos about Lipedema.
I am currently undergoing treatment for lymphedema and lipedema (sorry for the spelling) and have started an anti-inflammatory diet. I didn’t know what it felt like to not be inflamed however the noticeable difference in just a few weeks is huge. Anti-inflammatory diet is here to stay. I feel more engerized helping me be able to work out more, I eat less, I’m losing weight, and I can think so much more clearly as well as the lymphedema and lipodema reducing which is always a good thing.
Can you please share your diet or can i contact you in other platforms if u don't feel comfortable sharing? because i really don't want to go through surgery this summer, and i'm a lil confused since some say that keto is the way to go, but it contains red meat and dairy and they are a no no when u have lipedema, so keto never worked for me.
@@gem7708 I rarely eat red meat and keep to chicken and turkey. I don’t eat dairy anymore and have found many vegan dairy substitutions for every dairy product making it very easy. I’ve started buying a lot of specialty items from thrive market, it’s cheaper and have many more options. You can also shop by diet that way too. I have been using Pinterest mostly for recipes. If you want, I can email you some resources my nutritionist sent me which I have been using for assistance with the keto diet. Just leave me your email and I will send it over. I also recently picked up americas test kitchen keto cookbook for more ideas. My legs have shrunk many inches since starting this diet and adding in exercise where I can, including walking on my lunch break in the back parking lot at work. My rule of thumb is what I am eating can’t have more than 5-6g of carbs, if it says keto or keto friendly then it’s fine, and it’s not dairy then I’m fine. It’s a hard diet to stick with but consistency is the key. I hope this helps.
@@shannonford1774 thank u so much for the info dear , but this is the 2nd time my reply gets deleted for putting up my email address and i don’t know why , anyhow, i’m a lil confused regarding some anti-inflammatory carbs such as oats and fruits, idk if i should eat them or not.
@@shannonford1774 ❤️❤️
Yes, hit me up 🤙
Thank you so much for doing these videos. I have not been exercising for a few years and my Lipedema definitely got worse. I have been watching your videos for almost a couple of week and starting was definitely hard but it is getting easier and its helping me. Are you going to be doing more exercise videos? I really like all of them and especially like certain exercises you do in each. I have a bad knee and its hard to do some of the bending exercises and squatting exercises but I don't want to stop. Also, as far as diet, why is caffeine inflammatory? I did not know that. I have cut out milk and now use only almond milk and have cut my carbs and sugars down about 90% because I drink my coffee still sweetened. I have tried monk fruit and other sweetness and they taste weird. I know I should probably get rid of all the caffeine and it would help knowing why its bad so I can process it.
Thanks, I am having lymphedema issues since dec. the morning I woke and found it I called my surgeon she said I was clear for to many years (8) to have that, went to er they thought there was a fracture in my elbow told me to see a dr to have my arm set in a cast. The first one I said saw nothing it was lymphedema, got 2nd opinion he said the same as did my pcp. Went to my surgeon she knew right away they were correct, sent me to therapy which was a joke, she never mentioned a diet, no real exercise, I told her what I did and she said good. She seemed to passive about it. My arm got worse that is when I went on here and found you. Your doing videos have helped me figure out how to do things I already knew but was never told and afraid to try. I know you are merely giving us your thoughts but you have done more for me than anyone has. I will see the therapist and figure out when I should get a sleeve and if need a pump at some point. One thing I learned was a small trampoline 15 minutes twice a day helps. I know we shouldn’t rely on CZcams but I am finding so much more help. Thanks Terri Dallas tx
No we should look to u tube there's some very very helpful things on u tube. Iv learned a lot about all sorts of things. Cars , my hair extensions, how to use a sewing machine. Lots lots more but healthy stuff is spot on. I have a bulging disc in my spin and waiting on a xray for arthritis in my hips ? Anyway it runs in my family. I have been fasts just water. I'm not a real big eater anyway. But I put on 2 stone during lockdown. From 8 or less stone to just over 10 stone. It's making my back worse and no it is. I went though a near death thing in 2019. It changed me as a person. Then just as I thought I was getting myself together bam March 2020 lockdown. This set me back and I have been lacking myself away and eatting crap I kid u not. So this isn't me. I'm not this person. 10 stone may be nothing to some but I was only ever that sort of weight when I had my kids. This isn't me at all. So I'm on a Misson to lose this couple of stone.if I can get down to 9 then I can easy lose have stone from there. Iv dine it before. I'm so glad I woke up to myself. God its so easy to pile on the pounds . It's not so easy getting it of. Iv been at it 3 weeks now and I'm just under 10 stone. I was 10 stone 5 pounds. So 6 pounds. There's no excuse there's so many easy day movements fro. U tube u can even do sitting on a chair . I Don't need to but its a start for anyone. Any weight lose is better then none. Drink a large glass if water b 4 your meal cut out sugar and fat and have smaller potions. Good luck. 👍
Thank you so much. You bring awareness on my lipodema condition
Thank you for this informative video! I had a mastectomy in October 2021. I am happy to say, that so far, I have not developed lymphedema. My arms have always been thin. I appreciate the encouragement you give me to be mindful of my diet.
Wishing you my best! 😊
I just feel hopeless and helpless. I can't quit crying. I hardly eat anymore and I just can't lose weight. I am so thin in my face and stage 3 or 4 in my lower body. I dont go anywhere as im embarrassed to go out. Now I know that disease is incurable and horrible, why go on. Sorry. I feel all your pain too. Thanks for sharing.
I feel hopeless a lot too. I hope they find a cure for this awful disease. I'm trying to save up for liposuction but it's so hard.

Thank you for this discussion! As an RD I’m glad to hear more on this topic, and I agree with you - the less inflammatory our diets, the better our health, period.
I appreciate your expertise and opinion on this! It’s great to have a discussion 🙂
@@CancerRehabPT Surely there must be some cases out there of people who've completely gotten rid of their lymphedema through weight loss, exercise, and diet, etc.? Am I right??
Lol a
But the key is what’s inflammatory is different from person to person.

Hi Kelly thank you for your videos. Your information is so good. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Ma'am!#
Be interesting to hear what Dr. Stanley Rockson of Stanford University Health has to say about diet. He has been applying the NIH techniques for developing a drug to reverse lymphedema.
I would love to get the update on your lymphatic program.I lost lymph nodes because of cancer 😂😂
Thank you for this video. Would longer fasts be beneficial ? Would autophagy help lipedema? Is it recommended ?
Hi, I appreciate these videos, I have been struggling with my weight loss for years which is quite frustrating considering I also have a BS in Nutrition. Daily jogging in college, and mountain biking, P90x, I swear I have tried everything. The last 4 years I have been pretty consistently doing CrossFit class 5 times a week, aside from shoulder surgery. My question, I was so frustrated due to my extreme diligence with nutrition and exercise I consulted a plastic surgeon in the hopes he would confirm my suspicions of lipedema, which he did. Can I continue with Crossfit? Will the volume, intensity and hypertrophy contribute to my legs swelling. I also supplement with creatine, I'm wondering if this isn't such a good idea because it can make you retrain water. Thank you.

As a cellular detoxification specialist, I have many clients who are underweight and all muscle. And they are struggling with a stagnant lymphatic system because of scar tissue. And so that is a significant factor in what works for nutrition or not
"Cellular detoxification specialist" LMFAO thanks for the laugh, lady
Would autophagy help to eliminate the scar tissue? I’m wondering if adding periodic 7 day water fasts or green veg juice fasts would help to eliminate scar tissue?
My comment isn't to 'prove wrong' or argue etc.
But I would like to note that I was never over 140lbs. I quit smoking, watched what I ate and got plenty of exercise. It changed my hormones and triggered my lipedema. I have also heard that using BMI to determine health is antiquated and no longer considered valid.
I also had to laugh a little 'talk with a doctor or nutritionist'. I can't even get a pap test here in Canada because our system is broken. Lol
I agree BMI is outdated as a measure, but a study actually *showed* that people with this antiquated health marker had higher risk. Older medical studies will use outdated terms but that does not diminish the findings.
Thank you much 🙏
So I shouldn't have black coffee?
Curious if you have advice for people with lipedema with normal bmi. My lower body looks like that of an obese person but my bmi is in the high-normal range. I’m wondering what I should be eating post surgery

I'm 130 lbs and my butt and hips are HUGE! I tried the keto diet and lost fat in my breast
You should try foam rolling then, she has a great video on lymphatic massage and foam rolling and I see results but FYI, it can be quite painful, as you're literally pushing the fluid out of sitting stagnant. Good luck to you from a fellow thick hipped and plump rump girl 💞
130 is not a lot of weight.
I'm an avid coffee drinker. Didn't know caffeine could cause inflammation
I would really disagree with this
omg finally thank god
Keto worked for me, lost 82 pounds between 2020 and 2021 it just flew off. I have stuck to diets for 40 years just like I stuck to this one and to no avail. Then it stopped working though. Still about 50 to 60 lb stayed off up to this date of 2024. But yeah different things work for different people.
I’ve also tried various ways of losing weight but nothing sustainable or significant. Even keto and carnivore didn’t help. I’m busy with a fast. Try fasting maybe beneficial? Wish you all the best.
Hi I m vegetarian can’t eat fish for omega 3 can I take capsules of omega 3
Does Turmeric help reduce Lipodema- also using a quality massage chair with strong calf massage?
Could you please explain the difference in between the 2 names in your title
Lymphedema is lymphatic accumulation but lipedema is abnormal fat accumulation. Both lymphatic disorders. Lymphatic system transports long chain fats
Yes, I will plan to go more in-depth on the differences in another video to help explain, but generally Lipedema is an overgrowth of fat storage which can resemble fluid retention. Lymphedema is an accumulation of fluid (lymph fluid) in an area of the body because of a dysfunction or damage of the lymphatic system
It sounds wacko but I do best when I eat for my blood type (A). Meat and dairy and too much fat seem to "clog" my body.
Had swelling since my early twenties (when I was very skinny), fast forward 30 years, now very overweight & still suffering with the same swelling I had when skinny. Mine seems very connected to food- processed food- up I swell (even plant based milks), eating lots of fruit & veg - especially including a little pineapple & down the swelling goes. Interestingly even a pinch of salt, I’ll swell up
Try using celtic sea salt and listen to barbara oneill

"Dr Google " shows that lymphedema is 3 times more likely to occur it women. A female health Podcaster said she never wears a bra (especially an underwater bra) because it can impact lymphedema. Is this why women have 3x the rate?
What cracks me up I got an ambulance one day and I told him he couldn't take my blood pressure and one of my arms because I said that lymphedema and he said there's no such thing as and he laughed at me I was like wow he😂
FOOD IS MEDICINE!!! We are what we eat - go green!!!!!
If by green you mean vegan,done that for 4 months and it gotten worse.

Talks about diet but not telling
Intermittent fasting is great but this is not for everyone. It effects the thyroid and Adrenals.
Ò
Stop counting calories! it's the carbs not the calories! Been-there-done-that!
Both matters
I really love your videos, but I’m not able to agree with some of this one.
So nothing new. I like how skinny person thinks she understands or knows the struggle of people when nothing works.
