Self management in lipedema is not just about following a protocol.
It is about empowerment.
Lise Maren Kloosterman's research at BLS2026 used focus groups with both patients and clinicians to understand what people with lipedema actually need to manage their condition well. Because until we ask that question properly, we cannot answer it. 🌿

Happy Pride Month 🌈
Over the years, Nordic House Spa has been a safe space for people navigating all kinds of care, including post-operative support after gender-affirming surgeries. It is work I do not take lightly.
Something I want more people to understand: gender-affirming care is not only for transgender individuals. It is for cancer patients reclaiming their bodies after treatment. It is for anyone working their way back to feeling like their own true self.
I am bisexual, and creating a practice where everyone feels genuinely welcome has always mattered to me personally.
All are welcome here. Always.

Nutrition and lipedema is one of the most asked about topics in this community. And one of the most complicated.
At BLS2026 Siobhan Huggins shared her personal self management approach including nutrition strategies. It was a reminder that people living with lipedema are doing deep research into their own care and deserve to be heard.
There is no single diet that works for everyone. What the evidence consistently supports is reducing inflammation through food quality, sustainability, and approaches tailored to your individual body.
Slide 3 shares something worth knowing about. Slide 5 has some food for thought
Not medical advice. Nutrition support should always involve a qualified professional.
GLP-1 medications and lipedema. It is complicated.
Many lipedema patients are not responding through appetite suppression the way conventional obesity patients do. They are reporting decongestion, less pain, and reduced heaviness.
And many are seeing those benefits at much lower doses than standard protocols. Microdosing. A different approach for a different condition.
That is a different mechanism entirely. And it raises really interesting questions. 🔬

One of the oldest assumptions in lipedema care is that lipedema fat cannot respond to weight loss. - Vincenza Cifarelli PhD
New Lipedema Foundation funded research from Dr. Cifarelli is challenging that. And it connects directly to what both the ILA and S2K guidelines have been saying all along.

BLS2026 Speaker Spotlight
Dr. Amanda G. Powell MD presented on medical and surgical weight loss approaches in lipedema management at BLS2026.
As an obesity medicine specialist and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Boston University, she brings an important perspective to the conversation. When both lipedema and obesity are present, both deserve proper, specialized attention.
If weight management is part of your lipedema journey, working with a qualified obesity medicine specialist alongside your lipedema care team can make a real difference.

Diet and lipedema. It is one of the most asked about and most misunderstood topics in the community.
Research from BLS2026 confirms what many of us have suspected. Inflammation in lipedema responds to food quality, not diet labels. No keto required. Just real, nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory eating.
Slide 5 has a resource I genuinely trust. 🌿

Some research changes how you think in the moment.
Dr. Bertsch's work changed how I practice permanently.
88% of lipedema patients at the Földi Clinic present with obesity. But around 80% of patients referred with a lipedema diagnosis don't actually meet the criteria.
Two problems happening at the same time. And both matter. 🔬
