Carmen from Monarch continuing education: insights into lymphatic health
Understanding the Lymphatic System, MLD, and Early Lipedema Support with Carmen of Monarch Continuing EducationHosts Cindy and Kristy welcome Carmen, director and owner of Monarch Continuing Education, who shares her background in physical therapy and massage therapy and how discovering manual lymph drainage (MLD) led her to become a certified lymphedema therapist and eventually create accredited training programs to expand access to care, especially in rural areas.
Carmen explains why lymphatic education isn’t mainstream, gives a simple overview of the lymphatic system’s role in moving and filtering interstitial fluid, and discusses signs of lymphatic issues and early lipedema indicators. She recommends practical ways to support lymphatic health, emphasizing movement, reducing toxins, and tracking habits and symptoms.
Carmen clarifies why MLD is light yet effective, its role in maintenance, and shares a multigenerational lipedema case highlighting early intervention benefits.
