Research links social isolation and loneliness to poor mental and physical health.

Lipedema women may be accustomed to living with chronic illness and used to periods of being alone, but our support structures and coping systems have been compromised during this time of pandemic.

Here are some of the many strategies that you can employ to avoid depression.

Today I'd like to take the time to celebrate not only the success of the Keto for Lipedema Virtual Symposium, but also to appreciate the wonderful presenters that made it the success that it was.

We were graced with the expertise of so many phenomenal experts in their respective fields.

And to add to all of that were the amazing testimonials that gave hope to so many others who felt hopeless or alone in their journeys or their struggle with lipedema.

To those that missed it, the entire event was recorded and will be made available to you.

Different seasons affect our skin because of the humidity, change of temperature, and dryness.

For autumn, we should use products that will not dry or skin and help it rejuvenate after a hot and humid summer season.

Those facing spring should look for products that help you restore your skin's radiance and get rid of the dullness after a harsh winter.

No matter the season, we should have a skincare routine that include cleansing, moisturizing, exfoliating, using sunscreen, proper nutrition, and enough sleep.

Lipedema is a chronic, often painful, and to a lot of us, progressive disease. Coping with it, particularly in the age of Covid-19 can bring on anxiety and stress. How well we handle these situations matters to our general health and well-being. As a warrior myself of anxiety and panic attacks, I know from experience how debilitating they can be. And I learned from those experiences, that having a plan can often blunt the anxiousness so it does not escalate into something stronger such as a panic attack. Here are some strategies for a plan. I have used some of them and found them helpful.

My most effective therapy for my lipedema is my ketogenic way of eating, intermittent fasting, and extended fasting.

Being in ketosis and using fat for energy helps reduce inflammation.

But we must avoid inflammatory fats and eat healthy fats to fully achieve these benefits.

Emphasizing these healthy stable fats in my ketogenic way of eating while avoiding inflammatory oxidized fats is helping me minimize inflammation and reduce the volume of my adipose tissue.

Today I'm going to be talking about a fasting protocol called One Meal A Day or OMAD.

This means that you get to fast for 23 hours and restrict your eating to that 1 hour each day at the same time.

It is best suited for those who need to eat a meal with their medications each day.

This is one fasting protocol that you might want to try.

I used swimming, compression, cycling, pain management, magnetic therapy, physiotherapy, and cold therapy to improve my lipedema.

But my most effective therapy was extended fasting.

These were the keys to me for gradually learning to walk again on my arthritic knees without surgery.

I am now reversed back away from lipo-lymphedema - I just have lipedema.

And I can now walk a mile unaided.
