January 2024 Lipedema Patient Roundtable, Hosted by

Compression, compression, compression! The main flow of conversation revolved around this all-important component of lipedema (and lymphedema) management. ‪@CaraThePaleGingerPear‬’s own certified lymphedema therapist, Megan Glod, joined the panel as a special guest to answer questions and offer guidance on everything from skincare to finding a good lymphedema therapist, to best practices when choosing day and nighttime compression garments.
Pattie Cornute’s ‪@lipedemafitness‬ group is in the midst of its Mindful Movement collaboration with ‪@aprilsluder‬, and her new love for “rope flow” was discussed. Siouxie Boshoff’s decision to “eat what feels good to her body” was met with hearty agreement.
Dr. Karen Herbst graced the Roundtable with her presence and shared her current interest in electrolyte fluid levels as well as compartment syndrome. “Fascia is the highway of the body” was a powerful statement made during the Roundtable.
The power of community and the support found when gathering together each month could be felt throughout the evening, as is customary for the Roundtable. Anticipation is also building for the annual Fat Disorders Resource Society Conference, and representatives from both ‪@FatDisordersResourceSociety‬ and the ‪@lipedemafoundation8294‬ will be in attendance next month to answer questions!
