- For the #lipedema community, the Fat Disorders Resource Society (FDRS) Conference is an annual highlight. At the April Lipedema Patient Roundtable, host Brenda Viola and Angelique Charles “zoomed” from St. Louis Missouri, where the next few days will focus on the latest research and breakthroughs in fat disorders.
Linda Anne Kahn, a @FatDisordersResourceSociety clinical speaker, treated attendees to a sneak preview of her talk on the fascial network, pain and lipedema, and #DercumsDisease.
Special guest Kaz Windsor joined the live discussion from the UK, and shared how limited options for help inspired her to study and forge her own path for healing. She now motivates thousands of others through her Sculpt and Change Therapies practice and robust social media following. Kaz underscored the importance of reading and research, but also the need to respect your own inner guidance as you manage your condition.
Angelique Charles’ personal experience getting to Missouri from Arizona sparked an insightful conversation about traveling with lipedema, from TSA Precheck to asking for assistance and why certain airlines are preferable because of how they accommodate lipedema challenges. The latest Lympha Press webinar on the topic was also cited as a valuable resource.
Why is community so important? “Because sometimes even family members don’t understand.” A safe space where patients can know they’re not alone is why the Lipedema Patient Roundtable was started, and this online gathering grows stronger each month.

Hello Everyone! Just found your channel and I have an appointment. So, I have to run but Thank you for all the ideas/help. Will catch everyone next month. Have had Lymphedema since birth but didn't realize until I delivered my daughter. Unfortunately, I wasn't diagnosed until I was 50. I'm 62 now. Please bear with me I've had a few mini strokes. I'm stage 3.🕊️Kim from California 🫶
