Lipedema Research Opportunity from the Boston Lymphatic Symposium

Johanna Falck, PhD. a researcher from Sweden is looking for global Lipedema ladies that have been pregnant in the past.

Johanna had an incredible presentation at BLS based on her study titled "Health-related stigma, perceived social support, and their role in quality of life among women with lipedema. "

Let's help her get more data for her next study! (Btw... I've never been pregnant - that I know of - so I can't take the survey. )

If you take it, please let us know!

This right here is a really big deal for me. HUGE!!

Not only am I headed to my first conference of the year!

The Boston Lymphatic Symposium - ALL ABOUT LIPEDEMA THIS YEAR!

I'm flying solo for the first time since I had major anxiety grab me three years ago at another conference, and the subsequent flight home. I told myself I didn't ever have to get on another plane if I didn't want to ...

but that's not me.

I like to travel, I like to learn, I like to explore ... so ... in true Darcy fashion, I headed to the library. Found a book called Unwinding Anxiety by Dr Judson Brewer. I checked it out three times, bought the audiobook, bought a hard copy, then a digital copy ... lol. Used the UA app everyday. I went on a retreat with Dr Brewer at Omega Institute and now I'm flying solo, ready to explore, learn ...

and mindfulness and meditation got me here.

This Saturday, I will achieve 1000 days of meditation on Insight Timer. 1000 days to learn how to stay in the present moment - non judgementally, how to go inside my body, and get curious about the bodily sensations and not let my monkey mind take over. Recognize rumination, and kick right into my practice anywhere, anytime.

“Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally.” - Jon Kabat-Zinn

It is a life long practice and I'll keep practicing everyday , every moment, and continue to grow my mindfulness muscles.

Let me know if you have questions about mindfulness and how to incorporate "small moments, many times" into your daily life.

A new study just released on lipedema reinforces much of what I have been sharing with clients. Early diagnosis is key. Educate your clinicians on every visit! The lipedema foundation has a great print out to share with your doctors.
